If you want my honest opinion, I pretty much suspected the whole "banned IP's = trying to add freshness to Saimoe" conspiracy since yesterday, as I felt that's the only reason for Yui and Azunyan's defeats.

While I can understand Japanese voters wanting new characters to advance in the tournament, at the same time, some of us prefer the older characters (although that doesn't mean we support newer ones as well). Thus, seeing a number of them losing this early (and suspecting that it was due to banned IP's) is upsetting me (and others) big time.

This is one reason why I feel that once this tournament is over, I think there should be a "10th anniversary" tournament to determine the most "moe" girl of the past 10 years (with the tournament allowing worldwide votes).

I suspect that it will eventually end up exactly like inter-saimoe.

For current status it seems like either Hinata underperformed in prelims or Anaru overperformed

Wanderer · 2011-09-07, 18:49

The way things have been going Tenshi of all characters has got a legitimate shot at winning this thing.

She's gotten the most votes of anyone outside of the Mikoto/Homura match, a match which Mikoto probably got a lot of tactical support in.

By the way things are going I think Tenshi won't win since alot of big contestants has been shot down so early, I even won't be surprised if Sui wins this

Yeah, mostly same as here - lack of foreign voters mean K-On and Shana (old timers in general) just get no love...plus this is one of those year where old timers goes nowhere (Someone points out that it tend to alternate b/t old timers and newcomers...this is a newcomer year).

Meh, LOTS of fight remains in Group F, G, and H...and Sui? You realized that her 1st round group IS a joke, right? I mean, a Precure girl that is no good and a Madoka character that's a much of a troll as Sui...get past Ryuushi first before we start talking about how 2ch vote for some granny...

On the other hand, though, as weak as Group B is, it's not like Kanade is on the bottom half of that group which is a joke...she will have to fight it out against Tsukasa & Merry in Round 2, then probably Ryuushi in Round 3...past that, of course, it's winning the group, since the bottom half is just, well, joke...

I do realize that I'm just saying it is a possibility even if it's exteremly low because it seems like the voters trolls alot sometimes

FlavorOfLife · 2011-09-07, 22:47

Haha Nymph is leading. Now thats a tsundere thats moe (and consistently gets picked on).

The Sui match is understandable. The matchup was so silly that it could only result in lulz (precure was never going to get the votes to win). Since they have access to trackers as well, it could only result in voters voting for whichever lulz candidate was winning.

Team Rocket Elite · 2011-09-08, 01:01

Yesterday's Results:

Yuuki Mikan - 396
Ryuubi Gentoku - 120
Salsa Tortilla - 157

Yuuno Arashiko - 354
Hakase - 95
Hirasawa Ui - 301

Yuuko - 340
Kirishima Shouko - 110
Shana - 316

Mikan beat her opponents with ease and nearly reach 60% of the votes. Her opponents couldn't keep up with someone as strong as Mikan. Continuing the string K-On defeats, Ui isn't able to beat Arashiko. I guess this is expected at this point. Despite all the politics and assassinations, Shana has always managed to do really well in Saimoe. Not this time, though. Yuuko manages to kick Shana out of the contest in Round 1. Although I didn't think Yuuko was weak, I really thought Shana was just a lot stronger than Yuuko. It was a pretty close match but in the end Shana just wasn't able to win.

Today's matches:

Millhiore F. Biscotti vs Kasuga Kusunoki vs Nymph
Miria Marigold Mackenzie vs Kongou Mitsuko vs Miyafuji Yoshika
Asaka Hinata vs Kondou Mikoto vs Anjou Naruko

As we've seen a few times now, it's another match between characters that really should be meeting a round or two later. Kusunoki is mostly a non factor in the match between Millhiore and Nymph. Nymph was from Shana's preliminary group and we Shana's exit Nymph doesn't look as impressive anymore. It wasn't a particularly strong preliminary group but Millhiore did win hers so I'm think she can win this match. Yoshika looks to be the frontrunner in the second match. She already outright defeated Mitsuko in preliminary group 11 and Miria had to go through second preliminaries. Naruko should win her match even easier. She did well in her preliminary group while her opponents were quite weak.

Votes:
Nymph
Miyafuji Yoshika
Anjou Naruko

Prediction:
Millhiore F. Biscotti
Miyafuji Yoshika
Anjou Naruko

ahelo · 2011-09-08, 03:59

I guess the best way to predict who's gonna win is if a veteran is partnered with a pretty strong new character- oh wait Mikoto won in her match with Homura.

LulzMoe anyone?

frustra · 2011-09-08, 09:06

Nymph, Yoshika and Hinata won.

Anaru status:

[x] Told by rush.

Nice Nymph victory, she could survive the rush.

Today, Sanae, Nano and Shirayuki. Because fuck you, that's why.

hinakatbklyn · 2011-09-08, 09:17

3 last minute close matches. (1 held on, 1 wasn't able to keep the lead, and 1 waited until the final results to realize her lead was safe)
-Nymph held on to her lead. Nice win

abc0716 · 2011-09-08, 09:25

Getting 1-2 again on the prediction (39-27 overall), this year is indeed one of the most unpredictable AST as I know (after 2006).

Another quick post about my opinions on tomorrow's matchday

Spoiler for September 9, may contain some spoilers:

FlavorOfLife · 2011-09-08, 09:47

Nymph won, excellent notch for Sora no Oto. SnO will keep losing steam as time passes from their movie but its nice to see a confirmed win for SnO. Anaru lost was surprising given she was leading pretty well and defeated by Jewelpet Sunshine?? Really?? Some people must hate Anaru's portrayal in the early episodes

Mami should take this unless there's a concerted anti push. I doubt even the Ikalites love Sanae. Laugh at her more likely. Really don't see Sora no Woto being a factor given the series unpopularity

Elizabeth is quite moe but hardly featured much in Softenni. Nano has her beat unless the Railguns rally which would probably bring out the anti-Rails unless it really late rushing

Subaru is not going anywhere. The Pleiades shorts is not impressive enough. As for the other 2, hopefully Hidan no Aria goes down as it was really mediocre

Ichuki · 2011-09-08, 10:11

Picks- Mami and *Hakase like voice* Nano!
Predictions- Mami, Nano, Nako

Yep seems like Anaru overperformed in prelims or Hinata was the final Jewelpet girl standing

RJ TAYLER · 2011-09-08, 10:50

My tip for today is this: Carry on just don't lose your head over your girl not making it today.

My 'dark horse' pick for the year is out, so I am sitting back and cheering hard from the bleachers.
