CB X Round 2 Division 5 Squall beats Garrus but shows a warning sign

Squall beat Garrus as expected but failed to dominate as strongly as the writeup anticipated. The result is remembered as an early warning sign that Squall's top-seed run was much shakier than it appeared.

CB IX Round 2 Division 8
Missingno 35.8%
Amaterasu 24.8%
Squall ends Missingno's comeback hopes cleanly

Squall absorbed Missingno's expected early surge and took control far sooner than the glitch character's supporters hoped. The result ended Missingno's run and left Squall's division shaped by an awkward future matchup with Vivi.

CB VIII Round 2 Gear Terra makes Squall look unexpectedly vulnerable

Squall won comfortably but looked surprisingly weak against Terra despite his history of crushing lesser Final Fantasy characters. The result reopened doubts about whether Squall was safely above Auron.

CB VII Round 2 Division 6
Sora 28.3%
Yoshi 22.4%
Fox's presence helps Sora leave Yoshi behind 1

Squall and Sora advanced together yet again, while Yoshi collapsed far more badly than expected. The result reinforced the strange independence of the Squall-Sora pairing and exposed Yoshi's vulnerability in the field.

LFF: The writeup says Fox's presence hurt fellow Nintendo entrant Yoshi, while Sora remained largely independent of Squall and benefited from the contrast.

CB VI Round 2 Division 8
Sora 29.9%
Sora reverses Aeris as Squall drains her support 1

Squall took control immediately, while Sora decisively reversed his old loss to Aeris. Aeris nearly fell behind Lara as well, making the writeup treat the result as a sharp confirmation of her decline.

LFF: The writeup argues that Squall's presence hurt fellow Square entrant Aeris far more than Sora, helping Sora reverse their old matchup and advance comfortably.

CB2K6 Round 2 Patriot Snake crushes Squall and reveals his major contest boost

Snake crushed Squall in a match that had drawn meaningful upset discussion beforehand. The writeup calls it the first clear sign that Snake had made a major leap in strength during this contest.

SC2K5 Round 2 Devil Squall ends the Knuckles bandwagon and buries old Magus stats

Squall quickly ended the post-upset Knuckles bandwagon and controlled the match despite Knuckles' familiar daytime strength. The writeup uses the result to bury Magus's old statistical reputation and set up a difficult Vincent-Squall division final.

SC2K4 Round 2 Midgar
Kirby 45.0%
Squall beats Kirby after the match picture shifts momentum 1

Squall beat Kirby in another predictable Midgar match, though Kirby performed better than expected. The writeup's main curiosity is that Squall only began separating after the match picture appeared.

Pic: The writeup says Kirby and Squall were dead even before the match picture appeared, after which Squall began pulling away, and explicitly suggests that the picture may have mattered.

SC2K3 Round 2 North
Luigi 39.8%
Squall shocks Luigi and triggers a historic board meltdown 1

Squall stunned the overwhelmingly favored Luigi and immediately turned a normal match into one of Board 8's largest explosions. The upset generated extraordinary cheating accusations and permanently changed both characters' contest reputations.

Cheat: The writeup says Squall's upset of Luigi triggered cheating accusations on a scale rivaling any match in contest history, alongside mass account suicides, trolling, and other board chaos.

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.
