Hachiko · 2012-10-22, 09:14

Our next match is....um...

Spoiler for match:

AP24 · 2012-10-22, 09:14

Just few minutes ago Ako was winning but now after the false votes were gone, Nodoka won. Now Nodoka is also another character that reached the top 8 for the 3rd time like Louise.

I think Shana will reach the top 8 for the 3rd time as well. I just hope so because this is her final year which is the same for Louise, and we'll have 6 Saki + 2 TsundeRie which is interesting.

ahelo · 2012-10-22, 09:14

3-time quarter finalist. . . has that ever happened before? Breaking records = A usual day for the Saki faction.

Team Rocket Elite · 2012-10-22, 09:17

Nodoka isn't that easy to knock off and it seems she's not ready to pass the torch to the new generation. It's a close match but Ako comes up short. Nodoka becomes the 6th Saki character to make the Top 8.

To close off the Block finals, we've got one of those rare non-Saki days. This might even be the last one. Both Shana and Sena have had close calls in the past against characters outside the top tier. Just last round, Shana was just a hair away from being taken down by Airi. Sena's thrid round match was actually the one she looked good in. Prior to that, she had trouble with Amaha Miu and Elsie. Overall, Shana has been able to attract more votes than Sena but not by too much. I'm not too sure who to go with but I'll try siding with Shana.

Vote:
Shana

Prediction:
Shana

Spoiler for True words...:

A worthy challenger to Toki appears.

Triple_R · 2012-10-22, 09:33

Nice come-from-behind victory for Nodoka. Saki would be proud, I'm sure.

I'm hoping Shana wins today, as it would almost guarantee the winner of J-SaiMoe 2012 being someone that I really like. Beyond that, 6 Sakis vs. 2 KugRies might make a somewhat interesting Quarterfinals round at least.

Actually, I predict BSSM will do as well as the Rebuild NGE girls have done. Make it the the first round, but then get promptly knocked out.

Saki, Hisa and Nodocchi from the vets, Toki and the Matsumis from the rookies. A fair blend.

Coldlight · 2012-10-22, 09:54

Old school defeats new class, eh. Or should I say Ako choked against her old friend. Perhaps the powers-that-be (not the tournament admins, mind you) are imagining the possibility of a Saki vs Nodoka match somewhere along the way. Not that many people outside of the Saki faction would care, though.

My pick for today's match would be
Sena Kashiwazaki
as my last surviving favorite.

Of course I'd prefer Sena winning, but if she doesn't make it, I think I can still rally around Shana's banner after this match as one of the last resistance survivors.

Hey now, I was with you last year in hoping for a Sayaka vs. Kyouko finals. For similar yuri-tastic reasons, wouldn't it be nice to have Saki vs. Nodoka?

For yuri-tastic reasons, yes. The only people outside of the Saki faction who would be interested in such a possibility would be the yuri fans.

BaKaBaKaOtaKu · 2012-10-22, 10:15

Yay, Nodoka! XDD

Hachiko · 2012-10-22, 10:17

I like a Saki-Nodoka QF. Will be a massive draw a la the Group G final.

seemmeriast · 2012-10-22, 12:38

Goodbye my favorite character this year. T___T

Can't believe that the over-dominating Saki gets 6 slots, but Ako's still not one of them.

Micchi · 2012-10-22, 15:44

Picks: 0-1 (0-7, 79-72)
Predictions: 0-1 (3-4, 108-43)

I'd love to get at least one char I like in. Please?
On top of that, the two Saki chars I don't like the most (Saki and Nodoka) are in. They're really trying to make me not care anymore, aren't they?

Pick: Sena
Predictions: Sena

Probably not. Oh well.

Kyuu · 2012-10-22, 16:34

Something tells me... this'll be a Saki vs KugiRie Final 8 -- in which, one of the KugiRie will troll the Sakis her way onward to victory.

Ithekro · 2012-10-22, 16:40

The difference will be the KugiRie won't have a K-On/KyoAni to mean at the end.
