# Poll ▲ Contest Round Division Result Headline SFF LFF Rally Cheat Pic n
1 1341
writeup (md)		 SC2K3 Round 2 East
Cloud Strife 72.2%
Auron 27.8%
 Cloud dismisses Auron in a straightforward Square SFF beating ✓ 1

Cloud comfortably dismissed Auron in a match some had hoped could produce a same-company upset. Instead, the writeup says conventional SFF took over and strengthened the case that Cloud sat near the top of Square's hierarchy.

SFF: The writeup explicitly describes Cloud's victory over fellow Final Fantasy entrant Auron as an SFF beating that overwhelmed any hoped-for reverse-SFF upset effect.
2 1760
writeup (md)		 SC2K4 Round 2 Midgar
Auron 65.0%
Ness 35.0%
 Auron beats Ness in another hard-to-read Midgar result

Auron beat Ness in a result everyone expected, but Ness performed better than the old projections suggested. The writeup treats the outcome as another example of the bracket making individual strength difficult to interpret.
3 2101
writeup (md)		 SC2K5 Round 2 Zebes
Ganondorf 54.1%
Auron 45.9%
 Ganondorf beats Auron as the hyped Gauntlet starts flat

Ganondorf beat Auron more comfortably than the pre-match debate suggested, turning the first match of the much-hyped Gauntlet into an anticlimax. The writeup still credits Auron with legitimate strength while sending Ganondorf onward to Samus.
4 2546
writeup (md)		 CB2K6 Round 2 Time
Auron 59.6%
Sub-Zero 40.4%
 Auron comfortably ends Sub-Zero's brief upset run

Auron comfortably ended Sub-Zero's brief upset run in a match the writeup considered predictable. Most of the retrospective discussion uses the result to argue that Sub-Zero had nevertheless proved himself more deserving of contest attention than Scorpion.
5 2898
writeup (md)		 CB VI Round 2 Division 2
Auron 35.8%
Ryu 26.2%
Bowser 24.1%
 Ryu beats Bowser again in another four-way mystery

Auron looked excellent, but the lasting story was Ryu beating Bowser again even after the Nintendo overlap from their earlier meeting was gone. The writeup finds the result difficult to explain beyond the volatility of the four-way format.
6 3290
writeup (md)		 CB VII Round 2 Division 8
Auron 34.6%
Sub-Zero 20.5%
Sandbag 15.2%
 Auron stuns Sonic and exposes a Noble Nine weakness

Auron decisively beat Sonic in one of the contest's most shocking strength results, even though the format still allowed Sonic to advance. The writeup treats the performance as a genuine breach in the Noble Nine's aura.
7 3820
writeup (md)		 CB VIII Round 2 Gear
Auron 56.7%
Zero 43.3%
 Auron meets expectations while Zero restores some credibility

Auron won about as comfortably as expected, which the writeup saw as insufficient evidence for an upset of Squall. Zero's respectable showing instead reinforced the idea that his recent weakness had been exaggerated by bad Nintendo-heavy draws.
8 5244
writeup (md)		 CB IX Round 2 Division 7
L-Block 41.0%
Auron 37.0%
 4chan rallies L-Block past Auron ✓ 1

Auron controlled stretches of the match, but 4chan's support repeatedly pulled L-Block back and eventually carried the former champion to another upset. The result revived speculation that L-Block could become an anti-Draven rally vehicle.

Rally: The writeup says 4chan rallied L-Block, repeatedly erasing Auron's small leads before eventually pushing the former champion clear.
9 7324
writeup (md)		 CB X Round 2 Division 6
Auron 55.8%
 Auron exposes Vincent's long-term decline

Auron comfortably beat Vincent and reinforced the writeup's view that Vincent had fallen sharply from his mid-2000s peak. Board 8 overwhelmingly expected the result despite old faith in Final Fantasy VII's intra-series 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.
