nodoka will get the joint forces of all otaku who cheered for a big breasted girl to win saimoe and were left in despair.
btw from what i saw nodoka is leading pretty heavily in the manga saimoe, so that should show you exactly what is the status at the moment.. kyaputain btw still haven't had a fight with any tough oponents other then yuki, and she beat yuki which was one of the favorites to win this, so it should speak for itself as well |

Taiga's different only in that she's a new character verses Nagi and Louise, thus doesn't have extra baggage like those two do. Also if one looks at the beginning of the tournament, you'll see that of the remaining four girls, three came in first in their groups, and one did not...that one was Taiga...she came in second to Yui. However if you look at the numbers, three of these four where in the Top Ten in terms of total votes gained in the Preliminaries....
Number One: Nodoka Number Two: Yui Number Three: Taiga This means Taiga's got about as much chance of taking on Nodaka as anyone aside from Yui. A better chance than Nagi or Louise....by the numbers. However the numbers in the Preliminaries would have had Number Four: Yuuki, still in this instead of Captain, who did not make the Top Ten, but was still first in her Group. She's become the random factor.

Plus Nodoka has gained votes every round since the beginning. Taiga has not. It just dawned on me the four who lost in the QFs are the Block A, B, C, and D winners.

Taiga has new baggage. She doesn't have old Saimoe baggage (Nagi was runner up in 2007, also beat Shana in that same year if I recall. Louise has probably the most baggage of any character that hasn't made it to the Final match).
And while I seriously doubt the Japanese care, Taiga won Korean Best Moe. There is a push in some areas for her to double (or even triple) crown in moe victory by taking Saimoe (and ISML).

Excuse me...
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS (looks like my finals pick might come to fruition) Okay. Also, just because Taiga is voiced by Rie Kugimiya does not mean she is the same character as Nagi or Louise. Taiga should win that match on residual votes, ones that those other two characters would not get.

Yesterday's Results:
Hirasawa Yui - 873 (51.60%) Amae Koromo - 819 (48.40%) The match was a bit closer than I thought it would be. Koromo once again went for a last hour Haitei Raoyue. It's a pretty powerful ability. She managed to significantly reduce Yui's lead but The Koromo couldn't get enough points to take first place. Koromo actually ended up with the third highest number of votes. She even beat Taiga and Mihoko who won their matches. Yui couldn't quite beat Nodocchi but Yui had a significantly stronger opponent and Yui still has the highest total votes recieved. Saki was unable to get three characters into the top 4. At this point, Saki is probably done setting Saimoe records. Saki characters have two powerful characters as their semifinal opponents. Lets see if they can make an all Saki final a reality.

I think Yui will beat Captain quite easily. Taiga vs Nodoka should be close, but I think Taiga will win in the end.
I predict the final to be Taiga vs Yui with (sadly) Yui winning in the end. Even if Nodoka beats Taiga, I still think Yui will win in the end.

Numbers are sort of balancing between Yui and Nodoka now. Nodoka had the higher start, but Yui's had the higher actual preformance...in terms of numbers. Both in terms of numbers of votes she has received and the number of voters in her matches. Yui, while not holding the highest vote total in this round, still holds the highest vote total this Saimoe at 953 votes in a single match, and thus still highest total overall, since she was around 300 votes overall ahead of Nodoka before this round.
Taiga's still got her shot at Nodoka, and she's got as much chance of taking on Nodoka as anyone now. Captain is the wild card now. We aren't sure what she can do exactly. By the numbers she should lose to Yui next time, but it is very hard to gauge her now, where as Yui has proven to be very powerful this year...probably taking the power that was expected for Mio along with her own natural power. Nodoka has a chance to take them all, but it will be a real fight. It is unfortunate that the vote totals are so low compared to the last three years of Saimoe. This year probably has the most interesting potental ending fight since 2006.

My picks for Day 1 of SemiFinals S1 Taiga Aisaka [Since Nodocchi is also in the Semi-finals in Manga Saimoe facing Hinagiku, Taiga should claim this match.
