These anti-votes will work against her in matches where she can be permanently eliminated.

Honestly, I'm very skeptical of the role that anti-voting supposedly plays in ISML.
Did Kanade ever get anti-voted in 2011?
No, Kanade loss to Shana because of a Facebook widget that drew in loads of JC Staff fans that weren't voting before (and keep in mind that I say that as a big Shana fan). Those JC Staff fans setup a Shana vs. Mikoto final, and then the vast majority of them went with Mikoto.
Honestly, if not for that Facebook widget I think that Kanade likely would have had a perfect 2011 season and won it all.
Personally, I think that momentum-building has a bigger effect in ISML than anti-voting does. And you build momentum by winning all the time.
