CB X Round 1 Division 6
Sub-Zero 62.6%
Shulk 37.4%
Sub-Zero calmly shuts down the Shulk boost

Sub-Zero beat Shulk without serious difficulty despite expectations that Smash and Xenoblade growth might produce a stronger challenge. The writeup treats Sub-Zero as one of the most durable non-Nintendo midcarders.

Sub-Zero's classic look helps sink Garrus 1

Sub-Zero beat Garrus in a result the writeup finds disappointing given Mass Effect's broader strength that year. Garrus still looked respectable, while Sub-Zero's showing reinforced his status as the stronger Mortal Kombat contest character.

Pic: The writeup explicitly credits Sub-Zero's classic-costume picture with helping him, saying the old look made him substantially more dangerous in the matchup.

CB VIII Round 1 Varia
Sub-Zero 53.9%
Tidus 46.1%
Tidus adds another loss to his long pattern

The writeup treats Tidus as chronically overrated and views this as another supposedly winnable matchup where he never seriously threatened. Sub-Zero's performance is presented as part of that larger pattern rather than a surprise of its own.

Auron cruises as Marcus Fenix falls back to earth

Auron and Sub-Zero advanced in the expected order, leaving little suspense at the top. Marcus Fenix's collapse after his prior deep run was the main story and effectively ended his relevance to later contests.

CB VI Round 1 Division 8
Sub-Zero 32.9%
Sonic advances but delivers another warning sign

Sonic and Sub-Zero advanced comfortably, but Sonic's performance was far weaker than expected for a Noble Nine character. The writeup treats it as another warning that the Sonic cast was declining badly.

CB2K6 Round 1 Time
Sub-Zero 50.9%
Sub-Zero upsets Master Chief and extends Halo's contest misery

Sub-Zero upset Master Chief after taking control early and surviving the familiar Halo afternoon push. The writeup treats the loss as another chapter in Halo's recurring early-round failures and a memorable winning debut for Sub-Zero.

What this is

Each row's Headline and (on filter) narrative come from a ChatGPT reading of that match's Board 8 wiki writeup. The five flags (SFF same-fanbase factor, LFF low-fanbase factor, Rally outside rally, Cheat cheating alleged, Pic match-picture factor) are set only when the writeup asserts that effect — never inferred from the numbers. Hover a check for the note. †OT marks a writeup that mostly wanders off the match.
