Round 1 |
East |
|
Crono overwhelms Simon and announces himself as a threat |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some Board 8 users thought Simon's Castlevania name gave him a real chance, while Crono was still underestimated by people unfamiliar with Chrono Trigger. Crono's dominant performance instead established him as a serious threat.

Crono cruises past Nook in an uneventful formality |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crono cruised past Tom Nook in a match the writeup treats as little more than a formality before the expected Mario rematch. It then spends substantial time on Nook's more memorable connection to an unrelated Board 8 user contest.

|
Crono crushes Conker and advances toward another Mario rematch |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crono demolished Conker and strengthened the argument that his previous result against Kefka did not require an SFF explanation. The writeup also criticizes Crono's seeding as an obvious attempt to force another Mario-Crono matchup.

Crono calmly dispatches Zidane after the previous day's chaos |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crono easily dispatched Zidane in a remarkably steady poll after the chaos of Kefka-Vercetti. The writeup mainly wonders whether shared Square support suppressed Zidane, without reaching a firm conclusion.

Crono cruises past Falcon but again shows a weak day vote |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crono comfortably beat Captain Falcon in his debut as a top seed. The only concern in the writeup is Crono's familiar daytime weakness, which allowed Falcon to recover substantially after the early stages.

Round 1 |
Division 4 |
|
Raiden survives Sam Fisher's comeback but loses future hype |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crono took first without drama, while Raiden built a large enough cushion to survive Sam Fisher's strong daytime comeback for second. The writeup treats the finish as close on paper but never truly in danger, while Raiden's poor showing damaged his future expectations.

|
Crono and Amaterasu cruise through a predictable opener |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crono and Amaterasu advanced through a largely predictable match, with neither Frank West nor Kaim posing a meaningful threat. The writeup treats it as another routine Noble Nine opening-round performance.

|
Missingno rallies past Crono in the contest's defining upset |
|
|
✓ |
✓ |
|
2 |
|
The writeup calls this the contest's defining match: Missingno built a bandwagon-backed lead, Crono mounted multiple comebacks, and the glitch character repeatedly fought them off. The upset ended the Noble Nine's unbeaten 1v1 streak against outsiders and became the centerpiece of the contest.
Rally · Cheat: The writeup repeatedly says Missingno was sustained by organized bandwagon rallying. It also records attempted cheating from both fanbases, while explicitly concluding that those attempts did not invalidate Missingno's win.

CB IX |
Round 1 |
Division 6 |
|
A dog picture helps Missile embarrass Kerrigan †OT |
|
|
|
|
✓ |
1 |
|
The writeup is mostly an enormous StarCraft and Blizzard rant; the actual match is remembered for Missile unexpectedly taking second over Kerrigan behind a highly favorable cute-dog presentation.
Pic: The writeup explicitly calls Missile's cute-dog presentation the ultimate picture factor and treats it as part of why he could beat Kerrigan.

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.
