Nearly 400 votes each and still three hours to go. With the customary last-minute surge, they could both top 600. Absolutely nothing separating them at the moment!

Fake votes, Toki has probably been way ahead the whole time

RJ TAYLER · 2012-10-17, 07:30

The curve shows little obvious signs of fakery, I just hope that assumption holds true as it would put an unnecessary dampener on what has been an epic match so far.

How'd that old Suzi Quattro song go again?

Here we stand like a couple of fools and the race is on
Hand in hand as we break the rules and the race is on
What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong
You may say why begin when we both can't win, but the race goes on
Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on

JW1 · 2012-10-17, 07:34

That there are fake votes is a given, but there's nothing about the two graphs to suggest that there's rampant fakery going on, apart from a suspicious jump in Akari's curve at around 19:00 which seems to have added maybe 20 votes to her total. If there's large-scale faking going on then the fakers are doing it very carefully.

Drum roll

Would today's combatants please make the stage.

"The Winner Of Block B is......"

hinakatbklyn · 2012-10-17, 08:56

(Perhaps the longest 10 minutes in AST this year) Either Toki wins and Saki controls AST or Akari wins and it becomes an individual battle once again. Of course other strong challengers within Saki like Yu and Kuro would want to win AST as well.

10/17: Round 4 - Group B Final

1st 583 Toki Onjouji @ Saki
2nd 417 Akari Akaza @ Yuru Yuri

This year result...

JW1 · 2012-10-17, 09:09

Seems the fakers were being careful! Not a close result at all, a bit of a let-down really. Not that I have any problem with Toki winning, but it would have been nice for the fight to have been real rather than artificial.

WOW! That's a huge difference there. I thought it was going to be close.

Round 3: Picks (7-9), Predictions (13-3)
Round 4: Picks (0-2), Predictions (1-1)

Sakimoe 2012, everyone. Wasn't sure before, but now I think Hisa's a good bet.

Hisa Takei @ Saki: <<竹井久＠咲-Saki- 阿知賀編 episode of side-A>>
Yayoi Kise @ Smile Pretty Cure!: <<黄瀬やよい（キュアピース）＠スマイルプリキュア!>>

Not exactly the most appropriate year for it, but as a big fan of Hisa's I'd really like to see her finally reach the top 8.

Team Rocket Elite · 2012-10-17, 09:18

A strong effort by Akari but in the end falls considerably short of taking down Toki. The Saki win streak continues with Toki claiming B Block. Now that Akari has fallen, is there anyone left that can stop a Saki character from winning? Also I wonder if any other Saki character can stop Toki.

In the C Block finals Cure Peace goes up against another Saki character. Will this finally be the end of Cure Peace's run? After Toshinou Kyouko was taken out, C Block hasn't really had any really strong competitors. Hisa is far from being the strongest Saki character, but she's far from weak as well. I think I'll side with Hisa winning.

Vote:
Cure Peace

Prediction:
Takei Hisa

A last-hour push was more than enough. She not only wins, but also covers, and it's the over. Spot on.

Regarding this result, it looks like Hachiko previous post and prediction turn out to be true. Akarin is in fact small potato compare to Toki and we ain't see nothing yet what Toki capable of from previous battles until today, where Toki show her true strength.
