writeup (md)
SC2K2 Round 2 East
Crono 66.6%
Dante 33.4%
Crono turns a hyped Dante match into a rout

Crono turned a heavily anticipated close match with Dante into an easy victory. The writeup says the result revealed how misleading their superficially similar first-round performances had been and made Crono a serious threat to Lara.

SC2K3 Round 2 West
Ryu 54.0%
Dante 46.0%
Ryu upsets Dante in an unexpectedly quiet result

Ryu upset a Dante whom both the board and bracket field had largely treated as the obvious winner. The writeup remembers it as a surprisingly quiet upset because Ryu stayed in control and the board generated little outrage.

3 1763
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 2 Chaos
Dante 57.4%
Dante dispatches Tails in a routine second-round win

Dante eliminated Tails in a match the writeup considered completely predictable and largely uninteresting. Its only real distinction was finally carrying Dante beyond the second round.

SC2K5 Round 2 Devil
Dante 46.0%
Vincent beats Dante but loses much of his elite hype

Vincent survived Dante after an unexpectedly competitive start, but the writeup treats the result as a major correction to weeks of Vincent hype. Dante's showing is framed as a moral victory that exposed Vincent as strong but not elite.

CB2K6 Round 2 Patriot
Yoshi 50.5%
Dante 49.5%
Yoshi upsets Dante and vindicates years of hidden strength claims

Yoshi upset Dante after dominating the Nintendo-friendly voting periods and surviving Dante's slow attempts to erase the leads. The writeup treats the result as a vindication of long-running claims that Yoshi's old statistics had understated him.

CB VI Round 2 Division 6
Dante 43.4%
Amaterasu 20.8%
Ada Wong 19.4%
Amaterasu survives a long three-way fight for second

Dante ran away with first, while Amaterasu, Ada and Balthier spent much of the match in a tight fight for the other advancing spot. Amaterasu eventually emerged from what the writeup remembers as a genuine upset and one of the round's better races.

7 3289
writeup (md)
CB VII Round 2 Division 7
Dante 33.9%
Riku 22.2%
Hogger 13.1%
Dante and Leon restore order after a lively start

Dante and Leon advanced in the same order their prior meetings suggested, despite a brief burst of early excitement. Riku and Hogger never developed the upset or bandwagon threat some had imagined.

8 3817
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 2 Midgar
Ryu 50.4%
Dante 49.6%
Olympic hockey creates the memorable Hockey Factor †OT

Most of the writeup recounts the Canada-USA Olympic hockey final, then uses the game to explain the 'Hockey Factor': Dante improved while North American voters were occupied, before Ryu recovered after the game ended.

9 5238
writeup (md)
CB IX Round 2 Division 5
Squirtle 44.1%
Dante 31.5%
Squirtle destroys Dante and the DmC hype

Squirtle crushed Dante and made the pre-match Dante support look wildly misplaced, while Zidane never seriously threatened either contender. The writeup frames Dante's defeat as the inevitable result of backlash against the DmC reboot.

10 7302
writeup (md)
CB X Round 2 Division 1
Dante 65.6%
Lightning 34.4%
Dante cruises past Lightning without drama

Dante opened the next stage by comfortably eliminating Lightning, whose Final Fantasy XIII baggage left her unable to threaten him. The writeup treats the result as another solid Dante performance without much suspense.

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.
