Anime Saimoe Tournament 2010 (Japan)

[Micchi]

Picks: 1-1 (9-9)
Predictions: 1-1 (14-4)

That was an interesting match in B09. I don't think it tells us anything we don't already know though...

Well, I'm not getting destroyed yet, so that's a good sign. Time to lick my wounds over the Comiket break. Mikaaaaaaa Satsukiiiiiii

[Zeroryoko1974]

Likely A Block final of Yuno vs Yui vs Nagi should be a good match. B Block looks a little more up in the air with Kana vs crab loli vs Nanoha in 2nd round. Shana seems like a pretty strong lock to make it to the block final. Third match seems like a toss up.

Picks: 1-1 (9-9)
Predictions: 2-0 (15-3)

Finally a close match. Almost there, Senoob. As for Nagi, great first win. Hacookie's Yukimura Chizuru led for a minute, oh wow.

Predictions/Picks for the next match day:
C01: Tacos ; Hamster
D01: Kurimu ; Misaki

Time to go below .500 in the picks department. :V

@NissanNut: yeah, it's Kaleido Star's Naegino Sora one of my all-time favorites too. *internet brofists*

[Team Rocket Elite]

A solid win by Sanzen'in Nagi. I expected a bit more out of Nazuna, though. Himari did really well beating Kaori despite the split votes.

Spoiler for Comment:

Oh sup antivoters. U mad. Not asking.

Great victory by Nagi. Superb strategy, to troll people into antivote for the wrong chara. And hell, Nazuna looked way more solid in the last hours, shame she didn't get 2nd.

Too bad for the break. It's not like a good Touhou game will come out or something.

[Seishi]

Picks: 2-0 (9-9)
Predictions: 2-0 (16-2)

Wow, what a great way to finish up the first round of A and B. Way to show 'em, Himari!

After starting 3-7, I'll take it. If I'm over 40% at the end of the year I'll take that, too.

[Mesousa2877]

One less Saki character to worry about.

As badly as I want to root a little more for Ayumu now, nothign will beat Yuuki.

Sakurano shall beat everyone else into submission.

[Micchi]

By the way, were the date changes for the 2nd round matches confirmed? I'm going to have to redo my group C predictions if it is...

Edit: Changing block C from Uiharu to Tacos...

Status Update after Blocks A and B

[Eater of All]

1-1 (7-11 total in picks): So Nagi managed to massacre in the end. Those were some fine rushes for several of the girls there.

And now, a long break.

Support the Beauty of the West take on the Beast of the East!

[Ithekro]

So...four days with only Best Moe...

Best Moe is relatively boring at this stage compaired to ISML and Siamoe.

Money can buy anything you want and Nagi proved it again. The neko fans club most likely has something to do with Himari's victory.

Round 1, Day 15 Picks
C1-1 Hamster [Tacos might get her victory again for sure, but Saki's popularity is questionable this year]
D1-1 Kurumi Sakarano [It's the loli but not loli time of the year thanks to the likes of Poplar and Nagi-clone from SYD, her moe level is not beyond 9000 but it will do]

[NissanNut]

Nagi was dominant in her win. A bit sad to see Nazuna lose that way.

Impressive win by Himari over Nazuna. Late surge in the end. Even more impressive about the close match was the probability of split votes between Himari and Kuesa. Great win. To me, the most impressive win thus far.

Saimoe takes a 4 day break, and I'm glad. I need to get away for a few days. On the flip side, I'm looking forward to the next matches.

[Marisa Kirisame]

It's kind of funny that Saki has 8 characters in block C, 3 of them top 8 from last year, and yet their chances of winning this block is still slim due to the new format causing split votes.

Also, Koromo's match just happened to be on the one day where there isn't a Saki character competing in group C. If only her fight starts one day later, Hisa would have a chance to win against Izumi and Uiharu.

I'm okay with this.
