Sephiroth recovers from Samus's fast start and advances |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Samus surprised Sephiroth with a strong opening lead, but Sephiroth recovered quickly and controlled the rest of the match. Even in defeat, the writeup says Samus validated her earlier Sonic win while Sephiroth raised concerns about how he would fare against Link.

Sephiroth demolishes Mario and crystallizes the Kingdom Hearts Factor |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sephiroth unexpectedly demolished Mario in what had been expected to resemble the previous year's Mario-Cloud classic. The result became the writeup's clearest evidence yet for a broad Kingdom Hearts-era boost to several Square characters.

Cloud handles Sephiroth and restores confidence before Link |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud defeated Sephiroth comfortably despite the rematch carrying at least some plausible upset intrigue. The writeup says the win restored confidence in Cloud just before the expected showdown with Link.

Sephiroth crushes Liquid and deepens the 20XX mystery |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sephiroth crushed Liquid far more thoroughly than old projections suggested, leaving the writeup struggling to explain what had happened to Liquid and the 2004 20XX group. The result reinforced Sephiroth's overwhelming status while making earlier statistics look suspect.

Sephiroth handles Mario while Mario crushes Fox's support |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Sephiroth beat Mario comfortably in a result that had become predictable by match day. The more notable secondary story was Fox collapsing in Mario's presence after looking strong against Nintendo opposition earlier.
SFF: The writeup says Mario heavily suppressed fellow Nintendo entrant Fox, leaving Fox far weaker than his prior-round performance suggested.

Sephiroth suppresses Auron as Sonic safely advances |
✓ |
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
Sephiroth and Sonic advanced in a match the writeup considered essentially predetermined once Auron shared the field with Sephiroth. Sonic's solid showing quieted some of the criticism generated by his earlier loss.
SFF: The writeup says Sephiroth SFFed fellow Final Fantasy entrant Auron badly, preventing Auron from reproducing his prior win over Sonic.

Tifa exposes Sephiroth's anti-vote collapse |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sephiroth struggled badly against Tifa in what the writeup calls his worst performance, framing the weakness as extreme anti-voting magnified by anger over Missingno's elimination. The result effectively ended confidence in Sephiroth beating Snake.

Sephiroth stops Kirby after a long early deadlock |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sephiroth survived an expected Kirby upset attempt after a long early deadlock, then unexpectedly dominated the morning and daytime vote. The writeup treats the result as a rare 2013 case where a Final Fantasy VII heavyweight reasserted himself.

Sephiroth crushes Ryu and revives his reputation |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sephiroth unexpectedly crushed Ryu and produced by far his strongest-looking result of the main bracket. The writeup uses the match to argue that reports of Sephiroth's collapse had gone too far.

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.
