CB X Round 1 Division 3
Bomberman 60.9%
Bomberman embarrasses an overseeded Kiryu

Bomberman demolished the heavily overseeded Kiryu and produced one of the bracket's clearest seeding embarrassments. The writeup treats the result as evidence that recognizability still mattered more than recent niche popularity.

Bomberman vote drain helps Ezio beat Tails 1

Ezio beat Tails and Bomberman after a short early challenge, with the writeup blaming some of Tails's weakness on the similar third entrant. The result also undercut attempts to revive Tails through old extrapolated statistics.

LFF: The writeup says Tails and Bomberman had overlapping appeal and that their shared support helped Ezio pull away after Tails briefly led.

Bomberman 23.9%
Phoenix survives Bomberman's long comeback while Magus disappoints

Magus took first but looked weak enough to damage any hopes of a deep run, while Phoenix Wright turned the fight for second into the real match. Bomberman mounted a long afternoon comeback, only for the heavily favored Board 8 character to hold on at the end.

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.

Alucard 64.5%
Bomberman 35.5%
Alucard handles Bomberman and moves toward the real fourpack test

SC2K2 Round 2 South
Bomberman 42.0%
Jill handles Bomberman and cements her contest place

Jill handled Bomberman without much suspense after already surviving the more dangerous Kirby matchup. The writeup says her two wins helped cement her as a recurring contest presence.

SC2K2 Round 1 South
Bomberman 78.1%
Kane 21.9%
Bomberman routs Kane after a disastrous match picture 1

Bomberman won easily, with the writeup placing unusual emphasis on Kane's disastrous match picture. It treats the result as an example of a recognizable game not automatically producing a strong contest character.

Pic: The writeup says Kane's disastrous television-set match picture hurt him badly and made Bomberman's victory look obvious before voting developed.

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.
