@Coldlight : thanks so much. You helped me a lot....

So we have Nagi as a finalist, huh? Congratz...
And when is the time for the next match (in GMT)?

One hour and a half from now.

Impressive. It seems the KugiRie faction learned their lesson with Shana's defeat. Saki's last hour rush could not save Koromo this time however, as Nagi's supporters prepared a massive counter-rush of their own, and with more numbers at that. Nagi repeats history and makes history being the first to reach the Final Match twice, will the winner of the next match be able to stop her? It's time for the penultimate match of the year!

Good lord won't people learn. Sure there is Kugyuu support, but it's not the sole reason why Nagi and Shana get as far as they get.

If anything, Nagi > Shana. Proved in 2007. And well, since she gets supporters from Hayate fans, whereas Shana is the only real competitor from her series.

[RJ TAYLER]

I thought I was the only one that got to do things all over again?

[hinakatbklyn]

Nagi was in the finals in 07. Three years later she is in the finals again. Regardless of who she faces, can she finally get herself a vitcory in the final match?

Should Nodoka beat Azusa, the final match would be a rematch of last year's block finals (with Nodoka winning the match).
Should Azusa beat Nodoka, Kugimiya and K-ON would represent the final match 2 years in a row.

That's why I said it was Nagi's supporters who countered the Saki rush. Who are Nagi's supporters? Nagi's core fans, Hayate faction members, KugiRie fans and the various anti-voters. I never said anything about Nagi having support from the KugiRie faction alone. I was just describing my observation about that particular faction, since it seemed to me that they are better prepared today than they were in Shana's match.

Someone will not be pleased about this statement.

A certain somebody you fought in 2007 learned it from you and got to apply it.

Also, Saved.

[Kit-Tsukasa]

Wow, so much for what I said earlier. Either KugiRie fans finally learned their lesson to fear Saki characters or Nagi has finally shown her true self.

Regardless, if the above holds true then they'll probably anti-vote against Nodoka (in addition to having taking down Maria in a split vote match that she was anticipated to lose), who we all know took down Nagi last year. Although that may mean good things for Azunyan, the alternative could also hold true. Nagi/KugiRie fans could see Azusa as a potential threat after seeing her emerge from a match that was 90% guaranteed as a loss.

Anyways, sadness for Koromo. Stopped in a position so close yet so far, and we shall never see her again (unless Gonzo suddenly makes a second season) whereas we're essentially guaranteed to see Nagi again in a future Hayate Season 3, and most likely stronger than ever.

Still hoping to have Azusa win it all.

[OverFunk]

The actual good strategy procedure would be knocking out Azusa for Nodoka. Leftover Azusa fans would probably anti vote Nodoka in the final should that happen.

[Seishi]

So some people still don't believe Nagi is much more than "KugiRie faction"? She's is 2ch's beloved loli and this year is sweet revenge on the foreigners that screwed her over in 2007.

Now I have a sudden urge to eat a box of strawberries.

[HitoriTomoyo]

Personally surprised at the success of Saki characters. Go Nodoka.

[uis]

Nagi is 2ch's beloved loli same with Nodoka is 2ch's beloved non loli chara. Too bad if Azusa win this mean foreigner and japan commoner screwed this year tournament.

Because i am foreigner i will vote Azusa today...

Unless they decide to go for the TROLLU end.

I would say the "hindrance" (if any) for Nagi at this point is the repeat VA win. While not the same series, it's hard to say the numbers of those who want another KugiRie to win against those who don't

BELIEVE AZUNYAN BELIEVE! There really isn't much revenge any more if you ask me. Foreigners really only know Saki more than K-ON! where K-ON! is often thought as yet another moeblob show by the masses. Not to mention that Saki is really "meh" for foreigners as well. All in all, there isn't any revenge to really act on.

Pick: 0-1 (0-1; 48-61)
Prediction: 1-0 (1-0; 80-29)

Nagi is strong. At least now there's no chance of an intra-series final. Now the question is who will she face....

Pick: Azusa
Prediction: Azusa

Azunyan!!!!!!!!! I really don't want a bad/troll end. T____T

P.S. Squid girl sucks at being an oracle.
