SC2K5 Round 1 Mushroom Lloyd beats Wesker but badly misses Board 8 expectations

Lloyd never seriously risked losing, but Wesker performed much better than the writeup expected against the Tales protagonist. The result was treated as a clear Lloyd underperformance and another sign that recent statistics were hard to trust.

CB VI Round 1 Division 4
Zero 39.6%
HK-47 21.3%
Jak 18.9%
HK-47 advances from the infamous Jakpack of Suck

Zero took the expected first place while HK-47 beat the favored Lloyd for second in a weak and widely disliked fourpack. The writeup calls it the Jakpack of Suck and argues that Lloyd's inability to win here became emblematic of Tales characters' contest failures.

3 3251
writeup (md)
CB VII Round 1 Division 2
Mudkip 30.3%
Mudkip advances but lacks the bracket for another L-Block run

Mega Man X dominated while Mudkip comfortably claimed the other advancing spot, confirming that the joke character still had substantial support. The writeup nevertheless argues that Mudkip's bracket placement made another L-Block-style run unrealistic.

4 3779
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 1 Gear Fox ends his drought against weak Tales opposition

Fox ended a long 1v1 win drought with an easy victory over Lloyd Irving. The writeup uses the match mainly to argue that Tales characters are chronically over-nominated relative to their contest strength.

CB IX Round 1 Division 6
Pikachu 52.9%
Big Daddy 23.4%
Lloyd barely survives Big Daddy behind Pikachu

Pikachu had first place secured, but Lloyd and Big Daddy produced a genuine photo finish for second in the Expert Challenge ordering. Lloyd's early lead survived a slow Big Daddy comeback by the narrowest margin.

6 7298
writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 8
Ryu 68.4%
Ryu dispatches Lloyd in a routine veteran win

Ryu routed Lloyd in another demonstration that the Tales series had little character-contest strength. The writeup treats Ryu as a durable veteran who remained comfortably above ordinary fodder despite years of decline.

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.
