writeup (md)
SC2K2 Round 1 West
Sephiroth 87.7%
Underseeded Sephiroth cruises and builds Mega Man hype

Sephiroth easily dispatched Gabe Logan while reinforcing the view that his seed badly understated his strength. The result intensified anticipation for his eventual showdown with Mega Man.

SC2K3 Round 1 South
Sephiroth 82.0%
Raziel 18.0%
Sephiroth crushes Raziel as the Oracle Challenge is born

Sephiroth crushed Raziel exactly as expected and remained one of the division's dominant favorites. The writeup's lasting historical note is that a perfect percentage prediction around this match helped inspire the Oracle Challenge.

3 1741
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 1 Midgar
Sephiroth 86.4%
Sephiroth obliterates Sly in a predetermined Midgar matchup

Sephiroth obliterated Sly Cooper in a match the writeup considers entirely predetermined. Its main complaint is that the company-based division reduced Sephiroth's early path to meaningless setup matches before the expected confrontation with Cloud.

4 1993
writeup (md)
Spring 2K5 Round 1 Jenova
Sephiroth 83.7%
Ramirez 16.3%
Sephiroth destroys Ramirez and looks untouchable

Sephiroth annihilated Ramirez in a deliberately lopsided matchup born from a Board 8 request. The writeup treats the result as confirmation that the overwhelming pre-contest favorite showed no sign of vulnerability.

5 2871
writeup (md)
CB VI Round 1 Division 3
Sephiroth 55.2%
CATS 11.2%
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.

6 3274
writeup (md)
CB VII Round 1 Division 8
Sephiroth 47.2%
Ratchet 13.9%
Nana 10.4%
Tifa withstands Sephiroth better than expected

Sephiroth and Tifa advanced as expected, but Tifa held up far better against Sephiroth than many feared. The writeup treats that resistance as an encouraging sign rather than a true upset story.

7 3786
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 1 Jenova
Sephiroth 71.8%
Marth 28.2%
Sephiroth opens with an immediate warning sign

Sephiroth's opening performance looked weak compared with Snake's, which immediately raised concern about his path through the contest. The writeup views this as the first clear warning that Sephiroth was in trouble.

8 5161
writeup (md)
CB IX Round 1 Division 3
Sephiroth 57.4%
Midna 24.5%
Sephiroth wins while Final Fantasy VII decline deepens

Sephiroth won easily, but Midna and Little Mac still held up far better than the writeup thought should be possible against a former champion. The match is framed as another unmistakable sign of Final Fantasy VII decline.

9 7294
writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 8
Sephiroth 70.3%
Sephiroth wins while his old dominance keeps fading

Sephiroth beat Wesker comfortably but failed to look as dominant as a Noble Nine character once would have against similar opposition. The writeup treats the result as another sign that Sephiroth had clearly declined from his peak.

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.
