SC2K2 Round 1 North
Alucard 54.3%
Alucard surprises Tails and begins building a contest reputation

Alucard's victory surprised most of Board 8 even though the broader bracket predictions were nearly split. Tails cut into the percentage at times, but the writeup says Alucard controlled the match throughout and turned an apparent fluke into the start of a real contest reputation.

SC2K3 Round 1 South
Alucard 64.5%
Bomberman 35.5%
Alucard handles Bomberman and moves toward the real fourpack test

Alucard comfortably beat Bomberman while remaining less trusted than his previous contest results warranted. The writeup treats the victory as another steady step toward the much more debated Alucard-Kirby matchup.

SC2K4 Round 1 Hyrule
Ganondorf 57.2%
Alucard 42.8%
Ganondorf beats Alucard in a matchup of underseeded characters

Ganondorf beat Alucard in a respectable matchup between two characters the writeup considered badly underseeded. Much of the discussion centers on the bracket apparently being arranged to produce Link versus Ganondorf in the next round.

SC2K5 Round 1 Gear
Alucard 55.5%
Kratos 44.5%
Alucard beats Kratos but looks vulnerable heading toward Sora

Alucard beat Kratos, but Kratos's strong daytime showing made the favorite look far less convincing than expected. The writeup saw the result as a warning that Alucard was aging and would be vulnerable against Sora.

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.

Liquid steals first from Alucard in a controversial photo finish 2

Alucard erased Liquid Snake's large daytime lead and briefly moved ahead at the very end, only for Liquid to snatch first on the final update. Because both characters advanced anyway, the writeup says the historic photo finish carried less consequence than a one-on-one result would have.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup describes a last-minute Metal Gear rally after Alucard completed his comeback and records complaints that cheating or vote-stuffing may have influenced the razor-thin finish.

CB VII Round 1 Division 4
Alucard 35.5%
Captain Falcon finally breaks through behind Alucard

Alucard advanced as expected, but Captain Falcon's strong showing overturned his reputation as perennial fodder and sent him through as well. Diddy Kong's failure was the sharper disappointment.

CB VIII Round 1 Hyrule
Alucard 58.5%
Magus 41.5%
Alucard crushes Magus in a supposedly even matchup

A heavily debated 8/9 matchup ended almost immediately when Alucard took control and never yielded an update. The writeup treats the rout as further evidence that Magus and Chrono Trigger had continued to decline.

CB IX Round 1 Division 4
Alucard 36.3%
Rydia 27.7%
Alucard survives Falcon in the first true photo finish

Captain Falcon built a substantial early lead, but Alucard erased it overnight and then survived an unexpectedly weak Nintendo daytime response. The narrow finish became the contest's first true photo finish and one of its most entertaining early matches.

CB X Round 1 Division 3
Alucard 56.8%
Alucard calmly handles the Peach upset hype

Alucard beat Peach without much drama in a matchup that some had overhyped because of Nintendo momentum. The writeup sees both characters as having looked respectable and rejects any need for a firm SFF explanation.

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.
