Round 1 |

|
Ryu crushes the heavily hyped joke entrant CATS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ryu demolished CATS after the joke entrant had drawn considerable board hype. The writeup treats the result as proof that CATS's support was largely humorous rather than evidence of real contest strength.

CATS briefly leads Cloud and creates the CATS Army legend |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CATS briefly led Cloud at the opening, creating a memorable Board 8 spectacle before Cloud predictably destroyed him. The writeup treats the moment as the birth of the CATS Army and an early milestone in Cloud's long-running difficulty with the board vote.

Link crushes CATS and opens the Link-Cloud comparison |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Link obliterated joke entrant CATS after an early poll glitch obscured the opening votes. The writeup's main interest is that CATS gave Link and Cloud a common opponent, immediately fueling comparisons between the two championship favorites.

CATS nearly shocks Ansem and proves he can threaten someone |
|
|
|
|
✓ |
1 |
|
Ansem eventually escaped CATS, but CATS led for hours and came far closer to a real win than Board 8 believed possible. The writeup remembers the match almost entirely as CATS proving that joke support could become meaningful against the right opponent.
Pic: The writeup says CATS finally received the recognizable picture fans associated with him rather than his old image, and argues that this likely made a major difference in his unusually strong showing.

CATS overperforms again as Master Chief looks vulnerable |
|
|
|
|
✓ |
1 |
|
Master Chief won easily enough, but CATS performed much better than expected and made the top seed look unimpressive. The writeup strongly credits CATS's recognizable face picture for helping him outperform his old numbers.
Pic: The writeup explicitly argues that CATS's recognizable face picture helps him perform much better than the eggplant-style image used in other contests.

Sonic steamrolls CATS without resolving the old picture debate |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonic steamrolled perennial fodder CATS after the customary brief opening lead. The writeup discusses the familiar CATS picture debate but ultimately says the hybrid image makes the result too ambiguous for useful conclusions.

Division 3 |
|
Meta Knight shocks Peach to claim an easy advancing spot |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sephiroth won as expected, but Meta Knight unexpectedly took a clear second over Peach and CATS. The writeup attributes much of the surprise to Meta Knight's pre-release Brawl visibility and treats Peach as poorly suited to the four-way format.

Division 6 |
|
Squall crushes Yoshi far harder than expected |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Squall overwhelmed a Yoshi who had been expected to remain much closer, continuing Squall's unusually strong multiway form. The writeup treats Yoshi's performance as the real shock.

Round 1 |
Division 3 |
|
Ness dismisses the Locke upset case quickly |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ness beat Locke without the trouble some expected from Old Square's recent improvement. The writeup uses the result to argue that Final Fantasy VI characters without Dissidia exposure still lacked meaningful contest strength.

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.
