|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kirby was a major board favorite and widely viewed as badly underseeded, but Jill took an early lead and held it throughout. The final result looked close, yet the writeup stresses that Kirby never mounted a serious comeback.

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kirby comfortably beat Kain in another routine early-round result. The writeup treats the match mainly as evidence that Legacy of Kain characters occupy contest slots without showing enough strength to justify them.

Kirby destroys Cecil and ignites Nintendo boost talk |
|
|
|
|
✓ |
1 |
|
Kirby demolished Cecil far beyond expectations and immediately looked much stronger than his seeding reputation suggested. The writeup credits both Kirby's rise and Cecil's terrible picture while treating the result as an early sign of a broad Nintendo boost.
Pic: The writeup calls Cecil's Amano image one of the worst match pictures in the contest and accepts that the picture likely contributed to how badly he underperformed against Kirby.

L-Block shocks Laharl and briefly leads Kirby in its debut |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kirby took first as expected, but L-Block immediately demolished expectations by beating Laharl for the other advancing spot and even briefly leading Kirby. The writeup remembers those opening minutes as the first astonishing sign of what L-Block would become later in the contest.

Division 7 |
|
Big Boss stuns Kirby in a massive opening-round upset |
|
✓ |
|
|
|
1 |
|
Big Boss delivered a result the writeup remembers as almost unimaginable at the time, beating a heavily favored Kirby outright. The upset immediately turned Big Boss into one of the contest's biggest talking points.
LFF: The writeup says Jinjo and Lucas hurt Kirby by splitting Nintendo support, though it also stresses that this alone cannot explain the scale of Big Boss's upset.

Chaos |
|
Kirby wins routinely but weakens his upset case |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kirby beat Rikku almost exactly as expected in a match with little suspense. Because Kirby needed an overperformance to sustain hopes of challenging Sonic, the merely routine win was treated as disappointing.

|
Terra shines while Peach drains Kirby's support |
|
✓ |
|
|

2 |
|
Kirby won, but Terra's performance was the surprise as she benefited from Peach draining Nintendo support from Kirby. The writeup treats Terra's Dissidia-era strength as increasingly legitimate.
LFF · Pic: The writeup says Peach LFFed Kirby, helping Terra look unusually strong against him. It also explicitly calls Kirby's simple spherical design a major picture advantage.

|
|

|
|
|
|

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.
