Finally I make a mistake in Round 2 and it's a pretty big one. I got the winners of both matches wrong. Although Shizuno made a strong effort, utlimately she fell short of beating Kuuko. Alround Kuuko level is where I had Shizuno's strength pegged before she beat Kyuoko so it seems that match was a fluke afterall. Hajime turned out to be a bad risk. Shizuno wasn't as strong as expected which meant the pull up effect wasn't as strong as I wanted. Considering the margin of loss, I think I was expecting way too much anyways.
After the Saki double loss, I'm really tempted to pick against Hisa. However, even if you assume Hisa isn't as strong as she looks, he opponents just aren't strong enough to take advantage of it. I'm still siding with Hisa here. Kurisu vs Hinata is a tough match to call. The Kurisu that beat Mihoko would have no problems winning. The Kurisu from preliminaries is about compariable to Hinata. While we'll probably see a Kurisu closer to her preliminary self, I think it will still be enough to win. Votes: Nakagawa Kanon Inui Sana Predictions: Takei Hisa Makise Kurisu

Picks: 1-1 (6-4, 60-46)
Predictions: 1-1 (9-1, 80-26) Another day where Sak...WHAAAAAAAAAAA?? Shizuno was trailing all match contrary to what most believed (including me). Block C is now wide open and things have gotten a lot more interesting. That's always good in my books. Picks: Hisa, Sana Predictions: Kanon, Hinata Both matches are hard to predict. In C2-2, all 3 have a chance and Buchou will be looking to help Saki bounce back from a surprising double loss. Hinata is probably favoured over Kurisu in D2-2, but my support is fully behind my #2 Sana. If she somehow manages to pull off a miraculous win, I will be satisfied with this tourney no matter what happens from now on.

**SHOCKED**
This is a great loss for Saki faction. They completely lost Group D and H, and Group C now has only Hisa who I think, after seeing Shizu's result, is unlikely to beat Kuuko. (If she even survives today.) So, Saki girls can reach group finals for at most 5 groups, less than their record of 6 in 2009. I will not be surprised if this year they get into Elite Eight less than 4/8 which they have done before. |

- 8 Prelim winners vs 2009's 5 - 43 in Round 1 vs 2009's 23 - 15 in Round 2 vs 2009's 11 - Maybe 9-10 in Round 3 (Hisa, Yuu, Subara, Ako, Nodoka/Momo, plus one if either Kuro or Ryuuka survives split vote) vs 2009's 7 The main factor surely is the drawing. This year's drawing isn't very beneficial to them like in 2009. Anyway, I still believe that they can get at least 3 from Group A, E, and G. Toki vs Akarin is 50/50, and I can't expect anything from "Group of Death." I should realize that Saki is NOT Madoka. Saki is only Saki, like they were in previous years (just having more characters). Last edited by seemmeriast; 2012-09-23 at 13:43. |

I was worried about the wrong character. Hisa doesn't have any problems at all winning her match. I should have been a lot more worried about Kurisu. The one who beat Mihoko ended up getting taken down by Hinata.
First match should go to Astarotte. Her opponent's aren't too strong and she'll be getting Kugimiya Rie help from Nagi. Nagi is going to need to work hard to prove that she's the exception to the Hayate collapse. Madoka and Yasuna aren't complete pushovers. If it turns our that Nagi has fallen apart like the other Hayate characters, she's not going to survive the match. I'll continue to believe that Nagi can win. Votes: Astarotte Ygvar Sanzen'in Nagi Predictions: Astarotte Ygvar Sanzen'in Nagi

Gonna have to go with the standard Rie combo, but no guarantees, especially for Nagi. She did really well in 2010... until a certain set of suspicious IPs were banned in the finals...
Sad to see Kurisu go down to the likes of Ro-Kyu-Bu. On the other hand, cheering on Buchou for group C!
