Leon extended Gordon Freeman's famous losing streak, though Gordon once again performed better than a supposedly hopeless underdog should. The writeup turns the recurring GFNW joke into the main story of another Freeman defeat.

Bowser beat Leon, but Leon performed much better than the old projections suggested. Combined with Kirby's earlier showing, the result made the writeup question how legitimate their inflated prior-year statistical reputations had been.

Leon and Vivi took the two advancing spots in almost exactly the straightforward order expected. The writeup repeatedly calls the match boring and finds little meaning beyond setting up Vivi's coming encounter with Pikachu and Tidus.

Leon and Riku advanced in the expected order, with none of the feared choke or upset scenarios materializing. The writeup treats it as another largely forgettable first-round result.

Vault Boy performed much better than the writeup expected and is defended as a legitimate Fallout representative rather than a joke entrant. Leon's unusually weak-looking win is treated as further evidence that his strength behaves strangely within the Resident Evil cast.

Leon won a badly drawn same-series match that effectively denied Wesker a fair first-round opportunity. Even under severe overlap, Wesker still beat Oliver for second in the Expert Challenge ordering.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Wesker was heavily SFFed by fellow Resident Evil entrant Leon, leaving Wesker far weaker than his standalone strength.

Leon comfortably beat Dragonborn and looked strong enough to justify confidence in a deep run. Dragonborn's large recovery over the day is treated as a trend quirk rather than a meaningful threat.
