Solid Snake 47.6%
GlaDOS 26.3%
Kefka 26.1%
 Snake cruises as GLaDOS barely survives Kefka

Snake won easily while GLaDOS and Kefka spent nearly the entire match in an extraordinarily tight fight for second in the Expert Challenge ordering. GLaDOS finally survived by only a tiny margin after repeated lead changes.
2 3848
writeup (md)		 CB VIII Division Final Gear
Solid Snake 59.2%
 Snake strengthens again and turns Sephiroth into the underdog

Snake improved again against Squall in their latest rematch and looked strong throughout. The writeup treats the result as the point where a Snake upset of Sephiroth became the dominant expectation.

writeup (md)		 CB VII Division Final Division 5
Solid Snake 37.6%
Mega Man 23.7%
Zero 14.8%
 The Cube rallies past Mega Man for another upset ✓ 1

Snake controlled the match, while Mega Man and Weighted Companion Cube fought for the other advancing spot. The Cube's late surge completed another inanimate-object upset and ended Mega Man's run.

Rally: The writeup explicitly says Weighted Companion Cube rallied during its fight with Mega Man, producing the decisive swing that carried the Cube into the next round.

writeup (md)		 CB VI Division Final Division 7
Solid Snake 32.4%
L-Block 28.6%
Kratos 20.9%
Riku 18.0%
 L-Block nearly challenges Snake and becomes an elite threat

Snake eventually won, but L-Block dominated the opening and advanced with ease over Kratos and Riku. The writeup marks this as the first match where the joke entrant looked capable of threatening the contest's established elite directly.
5 2551
writeup (md)		 CB2K6 Division Final Patriot
Solid Snake 57.2%
Yoshi 42.8%
 Snake survives the sprite round and confirms his breakout year

Snake avoided the sprite-round collapse many expected and handled Yoshi more respectably than his past history suggested. The writeup treats the result as another confirmation that Snake had become much stronger this year.
6 2116
writeup (md)		 SC2K5 Division Final Gear
Solid Snake 65.3%
Sora 34.7%
 Snake destroys Sora and reasserts himself as an elite threat ✓ 1

Snake demolished Sora after entering the match somewhat underestimated. The writeup sees the result as both a statement of Snake's true strength and an example of a broader fanbase-overlap effect working against Sora.

SFF: The writeup rejects a simple PlayStation 2 explanation but argues that a broader form of SFF hurt Sora badly against Solid Snake.
7 1775
writeup (md)		 SC2K4 Division Final 20XX
Mega Man 57.2%
 Mega Man beats Snake again as Snake's decline continues

Mega Man beat Solid Snake in a repeat of the previous year's divisional final, with the writeup treating Snake's showing as another major flop. It also mocks the persistent tendency to underestimate Mega Man in bracket predictions.
8 1364
writeup (md)		 SC2K3 Division Final West
Mega Man 53.5%
 Mega Man handles Snake and earns his Sephiroth rematch

Mega Man beat Snake in a steady match that produced little drama but finally sent him back to Sephiroth for a rematch of their near-upset from 2002. The writeup treats the coming Final Four as far more interesting than the match itself.
9 997
writeup (md)		 SC2K2 Division Final East
Crono 52.9%
 Crono upsets Snake and carries his Cinderella run onward

Crono's earlier warning signs became impossible to ignore when he controlled a heavily favored Solid Snake. The writeup treats the victory as the culmination of an unlikely run that had grown stronger with every round.

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.
