Anime Saimoe Tournament 2009 (Japan)

[hirahira]

I want Amu to win it all somehow but I know that's impossible. The ones I really don't want to win are Nodoka, Tacos, Kana, Yui and Louise. Anyone else is fine, I guess.

[Ithekro]

Another day, another stand at the line.

Spoiler for Can Chiaki be moe'?:

Yes

[Kyuu]

To see Tacos make Final 8 would be a travesty.

[Liddo-kun]

I want Amu to enter Best 8, but I guess that's impossible.
Momo has my full support, have been voting her since the start of the tournament.

There are only 2 characters whom I'm hoping will not win Saimoe 2009.
Not going to mention them though.

[Team Rocket Elite]

Today's match: Minami Chiaki vs Kataoka Yuuki

Minami Chiaki

Past Results:
Round 3: Chiaki 477 (54.76%) - Minna 394 (45.24%)
Round 2: Chiaki 583 (44.13%) - Last Order 467 (35.35%) - Yutaka 271 (20.51%)
Round 1: Chiaki 386 (42.65%) - Isara 206 (22.76%) - Mei 141 (15.58%) - Futami 97 (10.72) - Nagi 75 (8.29%)

Preliminary Group 1
1 - Chiaki - 373
2 - Kana - 363
3 - Kotomi - 346

Kataoka Yuuki

Past Results:
Round 3: Yuuki 878 (69.57%) - Utau 384 (30.43%)
Round 2: Yuuki 661 (51.84%) - Mei 485 (38.04%) - Minato 129 (10.12%)
Round 1: Yuuki 521 (53.99%) - Barkhorn 253 (26.22%) - Saki 118 (12.23%) - Kaoru 73 (7.56%)

Preliminary Group 7
1 - Yuuki - 592
2 - Tsumugi - 467
3 - Lynette - 390

Six Saki characters in the Top 16 in six matches hoping to make it six Saki characters in the Top 8. The first one up is Kataoka Yuuki who is facing Minami Chiaki. Chiaki isn't weak, but her level of power doesn't cut in anymore in the Top 16. Chiaki's win over Last Order isn't too bad, but she failed to trounce Minna. Yuuki on the other hand smacked around Sunohara Mei and put up the largest blowout so far with 69.57% on Hoshina Utau. My initial estimates put Mei and Chiaki at around the same level in power. Right now I think Chiaki is stronger than Sunohara Mei but it still puts her a fair bit below Yuuki. Saki did take a loss at the end of Round 3 but I don't think it's the start of a anti-Saki movement. At least not a large enough one to cause an upset in this match. Tacos will win.

My prediction:
Yuuki - 56.00%
Chiaki - 44.00%

I'm voting for Minami Chiaki

I would say that about most of the other characters that are left besides tacos. I think she is great. Why would it be such a travesty for Yuuki to make the final 8?

[Kristen]

Predictions:
Yuuki beats Chiaki
Isumi beats Kana
Momoko beats Louise
Koromo beats Amu
Yui beats Minori
Azusa beats Taiga
Mihoko beats Eruru
Nagi beats Nodoka (Upset special~)

Quarterfinals:
Isumi beats Yuuki (Upset)
Momoko beats Koromo
Azusa beats Yui
Nagi beats Mihoko

Semifinals:
Momoko beats Isumi
Azusa beats Nagi

Final: Azusa beats Momoko

[Team Rocket Elite]

After the Top 8 has been decided, the match ups are shuffled. The quarterfinals won't necessarily be A vs B, C vs D and so on.

I don't really mind anybody winning at this point, ok, maybe not Louise, but everybody else is fine.

Want to see win:
Taiga <33 The only true tsundere I've ever been really fond of.
Yui

Willl Accept:
Chiaki
Isumi
Minori
Nagi
Yuuki

May Accept:
Eruruu
Kana
Momoko
Koromo
Mihoko

Do not want:
Azusa
Amu
Nodoka

[Eater of All]

Oh nice Nagi actually won. And I thought it was near hopeless too. I must've been deluding myself.
Vote record: 1-1 (R3: 7-9) (Tot: 77-67)
And now for Round 4, when the storm picks up.

Vote for today:
Group A Final --> Minami Chiaki

Since I don't really mind either Yuuki or Chiaki, and because the latter is going to lose anyway....


Also, I find it oddly ideal that none of the 6 Saki characters are fighting against one another. Rather, I don't think I've seen much interseries matches for Saki. I wonder if it's just me.

[Ithekro]

With so many Saki characters at the beginning, it is odd that none are against each other now...but then the expected fight between Saki and Nodoka won't happen in H Block where the highest concentration of Saki characters was to begin with.

You know how the Saki girls all have god-like luck in show? It translates directly into Saimoe. The only times two Saki girls are in the same group was Yumi and Saki, then Momo and grin-tan. Other than that, they're very evenly spaced out.

[00andz00]

woot late

for the 1st match of block finals

go Chiaki!!!


as for the wants and the things like that..
couldnt care less for the other Saki girls, but im supporting
Captain all the way~
and ofc Azusa~


@Flame Haze
u forgot Louise. or was that intentional?

The Louise(Zero) in 2007 who beats Suigintou is back wwwww although no one knows exactly where her "extra" votes come from =w=

Personally speaking, mojo and Rie will not get allied. However, both supporters of mojo and Rie will vote for Yuuki until Yuuki meet Rie.

Louise and Suigintou's match is such a big historical event in Saimoe.
Rumours are that extra votes came from China.
that is why China's IP are almost all banned for vote after that.

Actually I don't know how powerful Nodocchi is.

Saki is rather weird this year.

In the first and second round, Saki characters never exceed 700 votes every match. This make me think they are weak and just win based on luck. At that time Hinagiku had 870 and many others had 700++ .

In the third round, Saki characters suddenly got 100 more votes, but they still don't exceed 800 votes(except Yuuki, because Yuuki is Saki+Rie) even when saki met powerful opponent 3000(Hayate). I am still thinking saki is not strong because at this time YUI has 900+ and Taiga and 3000 has 800++.

Now in Group finals. Chances are that Saki's limit is 800 votes
Or it can suddenly has another 100 more votes - -b
