|
|

|
Sonic crushes Terry as the Chaos Division begins |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonic comfortably crushed Terry Bogard in another predetermined first-round match. The writeup's greater interest is that the Chaos Division finally introduced a section of the bracket with genuine uncertainty about later rounds.

Sonic beats Jin but leaves questions before Mega Man |
|
|
|

Sonic steamrolls CATS without resolving the old picture debate |
|
|
|

Division 8 |
|
Sonic advances but delivers another warning sign |
|
|

Round 1 |
Division 8 |
|
Sandbag rallies past Magus for a major joke upset |
|
|
✓ |
|
|
1 |
|
Sonic won comfortably, but Sandbag's comeback against Magus supplied the real drama. The upset confirmed both Magus's long-running reputation for disappointing and the continuing power of joke entrants.
Rally: The writeup says Sandbag's comeback went beyond a normal daytime trend and identifies a rally as the reason the joke entrant surged past Magus.

Sonic wins but sparks serious upset speculation |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonic defeated a character whose game had not yet released in North America, but looked much weaker than expected while doing it. The showing immediately triggered serious talk of Ganondorf or Kirby breaking the Noble Nine.

|
Sonic wins while the writeup becomes a Street Fighter ranking †OT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonic's easy win receives little attention because the writeup mostly turns into a lengthy ranking and discussion of Street Fighter IV characters.

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.
