writeup (md)
SC2K3 Round 1 East
Auron 64.5%
Auron debuts by comfortably dispatching a favored Tails

Auron comfortably beat Tails despite substantial board sentiment that favored the Sonic character. The writeup remembers the match as Auron's strong contest debut and an early indication that Tidus's unpopularity did not extend to him.

2 1739
writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 1 Midgar
Auron 64.8%
Scorpion 35.2%
Auron crushes expectations against Scorpion and boosts his stock

Auron beat Scorpion much more decisively than prior standings suggested and suddenly looked substantially stronger than expected. The writeup interprets the result mainly through possible distortion in Auron's previous Cloud matchup and Scorpion's continuing decline.

writeup (md)
SC2K5 Round 1 Zebes
Auron 71.5%
Big Boss 28.5%
Auron cruises past Big Boss as the Ganondorf matchup looms 1

Auron cruised past Big Boss in what the writeup treats mostly as a preview of Auron's coming match with Ganondorf. Big Boss's poor picture is singled out as a reason not to read too much into the size of the win.

Pic: The writeup argues that Big Boss's unrecognizable cartoon-style picture hurt him and that a recognizable Naked Snake image would have performed better against Auron.

CB2K6 Round 1 Time
Auron 64.4%
Alucard 35.6%
Auron beats Alucard as the old upset hero keeps fading

Auron beat Alucard comfortably, continuing a long decline from Alucard's early-contest upset reputation. The writeup is left debating whether Alucard had truly weakened or whether earlier statistical distortions had simply hidden his real level.

5 2869
writeup (md)
CB VI Round 1 Division 2
Auron 43.3%
Auron cruises while Shadow disappoints and Pyramid Head surprises

Auron took an easy first and Shadow an equally safe second, making the main result largely predetermined. The writeup instead focuses on Shadow looking much weaker than expected and Pyramid Head unexpectedly beating Chris Redfield for third.

writeup (md)
CB VII Round 1 Division 8
Auron 39.5%
Sub-Zero 26.9%
Rydia 17.5%
Auron cruises as Marcus Fenix falls back to earth

Auron and Sub-Zero advanced in the expected order, leaving little suspense at the top. Marcus Fenix's collapse after his prior deep run was the main story and effectively ended his relevance to later contests.

7 3782
writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 1 Gear
Auron 57.6%
Auron meets expectations without strengthening his Squall case

Auron performed almost exactly where the writeup expected against Aeris, which did little to resolve the larger Auron-versus-Squall debate. The writeup argues that merely meeting expectations was not enough to strengthen Auron's upset case.

8 5201
writeup (md)
CB IX Round 1 Division 7
Auron 45.6%
Roxas 21.5%
Auron dominates while Ocelot's picture steals the discussion

Auron dominated Roxas and Ocelot, while the infamous Ocelot picture became the main discussion point despite the writeup explicitly rejecting it as enough to explain the result. Auron's strength is treated as the real story.

9 7282
writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 6
Auron 65.4%
Lucina 34.6%
Auron handles Lucina and remains the division favorite

Auron comfortably beat Lucina, though Lucina performed well enough to demonstrate the growth of Fire Emblem and Smash-era Nintendo strength. The writeup still regards Auron as the clear favorite to emerge from the division.

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.
