SC2K4 Round 2 Chaos
Sora 61.7%
Sora routs Ryu Hayabusa in a major surprise

Sora turned a matchup many expected Ryu Hayabusa to control into one of the contest's biggest surprises. The writeup treats the decisive win as proof that Sora had made an enormous jump in strength since the previous year.

SC2K5 Round 2 Gear
Sora 55.4%
Alucard 44.6%
Sora beats Alucard and delivers another blow to x-stats

Sora turned one of the contest's most debated statistical matchups into a clear win over Alucard. The writeup argues that recent Kingdom Hearts momentum and Alucard's stagnation mattered far more than the old x-stats.

CB2K6 Round 2 Destiny
Sora 63.9%
Sora ends Gordon's brief winning era with little trouble

Sora comfortably ended Gordon Freeman's brief taste of success and then pulled farther away with the Kingdom Hearts day vote. The writeup treats the loss as another turning point in the fading GFNW tradition.

CB VI Round 2 Division 8
Sora 29.9%
Sora reverses Aeris as Squall drains her support 1

Squall took control immediately, while Sora decisively reversed his old loss to Aeris. Aeris nearly fell behind Lara as well, making the writeup treat the result as a sharp confirmation of her decline.

LFF: The writeup argues that Squall's presence hurt fellow Square entrant Aeris far more than Sora, helping Sora reverse their old matchup and advance comfortably.

CB VII Round 2 Division 6
Sora 28.3%
Yoshi 22.4%
Fox's presence helps Sora leave Yoshi behind 1

Squall and Sora advanced together yet again, while Yoshi collapsed far more badly than expected. The result reinforced the strange independence of the Squall-Sora pairing and exposed Yoshi's vulnerability in the field.

LFF: The writeup says Fox's presence hurt fellow Nintendo entrant Yoshi, while Sora remained largely independent of Squall and benefited from the contrast.

writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 2 Heart
Sora 67.8%
Laharl 32.2%
Sora advances but makes Bowser look inevitable

Sora beat Laharl but performed so poorly relative to expectations that the writeup declared a future Bowser win virtually certain. The result is treated as part of a contest-wide decline for Kingdom Hearts.

writeup (md)
CB IX Round 2 Division 6
Sora 49.4%
Gilgamesh 31.5%
Sora cruises through a badly needed breather

Sora comfortably beat two first-round upset winners in a deliberately uneventful match. The result was interpreted as evidence that he could survive the Pokémon-heavy matchup waiting in Round Three.

8 7310
writeup (md)
CB X Round 2 Division 3
Sora 49.1%
A Pokémon rally helps Red survive Sora's comeback 1

Red built a large lead, watched Sora erase much of it, then survived with help from a late Pokémon subreddit push. The writeup treats the match as both a legitimate close contest and a direct example of a small rally deciding the outcome.

Rally: The writeup says Pokémon Trainer Red was rallied through posts to the Pokémon subreddit during Sora's comeback, and explicitly states that the outside traffic made the difference.

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.
