Luigi wins big but cools his enormous pre-contest hype |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luigi opened at an elite-looking level against Ratchet, then steadily declined as the match progressed. The writeup says the result cooled the extreme pre-contest hype around Luigi even though few considered his next match dangerous.

Dante destroys Ratchet in another routine first-round mismatch |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dante destroyed Ratchet in another straightforward opening match, though the writeup warns against reading too much into the margin. Ratchet is grouped with the contest's other badly performing 3D platformer characters rather than treated as evidence of elite Dante strength.

Thrall's WoW rally nearly catches Vergil before the day vote |

|
Ganondorf won first easily, while Vergil and Thrall fought a much closer battle for the second advancing spot. A WoW rally helped Thrall make a serious overnight push, but Vergil pulled away decisively once daytime voting arrived.
Rally: The writeup describes a World of Warcraft forum thread rallying votes for Thrall and says the push helped him nearly catch Vergil before the daytime vote ended the threat.

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.

Ratchet finally wins against extreme fodder |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ratchet finally earned a contest win against exceptionally weak opposition. The writeup's main takeaway is less Ratchet's strength than how poor Eddie Riggs looked.

Ratchet surprises despite another Jecht win |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jecht advanced as expected but looked surprisingly weak against Ratchet, who performed far better than his old contest history suggested. The writeup credits Ratchet with finally showing some real improvement.

Shulk hype collapses despite the Monado picture |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Altair won while Ratchet beat a heavily hyped Shulk for second in the Expert Challenge ordering. The writeup notes that even Shulk's best-possible presentation could not rescue the Xenoblade hype.

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.
