Squall wins big but still looks disappointing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Squall crushed Hat Kid but still looked weaker than expected for a character some had placed near the top of the non-Noble-Nine field. The writeup treats the early struggle as another warning about Final Fantasy's broader decline.

Squall's routine win becomes a Bit.Trip digression †OT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Squall's easy win mainly served as a strength check before Missingno, while much of the writeup digresses into praise for the Bit.Trip games and Rayman discussion.

Squall offers little evidence before the Auron test |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Squall stayed near expectations against Akuma, providing little useful evidence for the looming Squall-Auron debate. The writeup considers the match largely inconclusive.

Squall crushes Yoshi far harder than expected |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Squall overwhelmed a Yoshi who had been expected to remain much closer, continuing Squall's unusually strong multiway form. The writeup treats Yoshi's performance as the real shock.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Squall settled a long-running strength debate with Aeris, while Akuma's debut was respectable despite a field crowded with Square characters. The writeup treats Akuma's showing as evidence that better bracket placement could have produced wins.

Squall SFFs Tidus and briefly fuels upset talk against Snake |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Squall crushed Tidus in what the writeup calls an SFF beating through and through. The result further buried Tidus's old reputation while briefly making a later Squall upset of Snake seem plausible.
SFF: The writeup explicitly calls the result an SFF beating, with Squall suppressing fellow Final Fantasy lead Tidus far beyond what their ordinary statistical gap suggested.

Squall overwhelms Geno as SFF shapes the Devil Division |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Squall overwhelmed Geno in a match whose main question was how much shared-fanbase suppression would appear. The result also helped frame the now-unpredictable Devil Division after Magus's upset loss.
SFF: The writeup says Squall likely applied some SFF to Geno, a Square-created side character from Super Mario RPG, and uses that as evidence for how Squall might have treated Magus.

Squall beats Bomberman but raises new strength concerns |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Squall beat Bomberman but performed noticeably below the writeup's expectations from the previous year's standings. The result raised doubts about whether Squall had lost strength and reinforced frustration with a bracket designed to funnel him toward Cloud.

|
Squall surprises Jill supporters with a comfortable win |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Squall beat Jill far more comfortably than much of Board 8 expected after his disappointing 2002 showing. The writeup treats the result as clear evidence that his strength had changed substantially between contests.

|
Snake handles Squall at the height of his popularity |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solid Snake entered as one of the contest's biggest favorites and easily handled a well-supported Squall. The writeup attributes Squall's poor showing to his weak standing at the time and explicitly describes the result as non-SFF.

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.
