@BloodyKitty and Ichuki - Thanks for the informative answers.

Edit: Saki Miyanaga should dye her hair blue, and wear blue contacts, to try to con Kyouko voters into voting for her. (Coldlight will probably get this joke at least)

If there's a thing call "hiding strength", Azuki Azusa certainly did it well.

In terms of moe, it's not like Azuki Azusa was totally weak, she did win her prelim group, even if it's not the strongest prelim group out there... Speaking of prelim performance, though, maybe Mori-sama was overrated just b/c she finish ahead of Kyouko in her prelim group. Mokkan win against Arata is expected, the margin is a bit overkill, but after Mokkan killed off TOSHINO KYOUKO, it's not totally unexpected. For upcoming round (Whenever it'll happen) C3-2: Pick/Predict: Rikka. Rikka is quite a bit stronger than Mori-sama AFAIK, although it'll be a close one just b/c MadoMagi won't be killed off this easily. D3-1: Pick/Predict: Ryuuka. Just b/c I simply do not like Kiyosumi's devil.

The old "P*** up in a brewery" springs to mind here.
All in all this tournament is reminding me very much of the "Rozens" versus "Nahona's" clashes of the decade gone by, with "Sakis" and "Magica's" taking their slots and shots. Nice to see upsets au-go-go too, hopefully with legit votes cast and all above board.

There was a DoS attack against the server for the code generator. It left the code generator inaccessible for a while. This seems to be all. So far, there is no evidence that anyone messed with the results but they are still looking into it.

Wow. Azusa just demolished Shinka in their match. I'm really surprised Shinka couldn't do anything to Azusa. I'm guessing she's getting boosted or something but it seems like Rikka or Kyouko might have a very tough time next round. Arata hasn't looked that good before and she still doesn't. Even so, Tomoka beat her pretty badly. I guess it really shows that Tomoka beating Kyouko wasn't a fluke.

As the last hope for Chuu2Koi following Shinka's sudden exit yesterday, I fully expect Rikka to give Kyouko a good run for her money here; the remaining Chuunibyou supporters should be going all in for Rikka now. Picks: Kyouko Sakura @ Madoka★Magica Saki Miyanaga @ -Saki- (provided she pulls off that disguise mentioned by Triple_R )

Not surprised that Azuki Azusa won because she's one of the most moe characters this year. But I'm surprised that she won easily against Mori Summer. Too bad we won't see Mori Summer vs. Tyrant's Eye. Tomoka also won easily but that was expected.
It doesn't look like the attack against the code generator messed up with the results because I've looked at the graphs that show the progression of the matches and they show Azuki Azusa and Tomoka kept leading the entire time. My picks are Rikka and Saki. Rikka did slightly better than Kyouko in Round 1 and 2. Saki and Ryuuka seem evenly matched but my pick is Saki. However, Ryuuka is voiced by Kaori Ishihara who also voiced Azuki Azusa. |

Spoiler for Special Pure Pink Pretty Lovers End:
Kogetsu Shirogane did really nice work on this one. Too bad that the student uniforms are a bit too different to make that look right as well. Mind you, there's also this old pic... Spoiler for Puella Magi Nodoka Magica:
Ah... imagine Madoka with big oppai!

Well, there is a simple possibility. Maybe some voters who voted for Shinka in the second round like Azusa more than her. It could be a case where a significant number of voters have both Shinka and Azusa in their Top 5, or something like that, but Azusa is higher up for them, so Shinka bleeds support going up against Azusa.

During the match Shinka vs Ika Musume in round 2, Mami, Madoka and Homura voters all gave more support to the Squid Girl than to Shinka. In my opinion, they perceived Shinka as one of the biggest threats to Kyouko and they tried to take her down, but they didn't have the necessary strength at the time.
Then they tried again in round 3. The thing is that, given Shinka's results, it's quite possible that Azusa was the stronger character here and would have won the match on her own. Probably not with over 600 votes, but still won. Thus the combination of the MadoMagi faction supporting the strong character instead of the weak created this large vote difference. The fact that Azusa's fans were able to hide her true strength until now and let her be perceived as the weak character really helped her. On the contrary, Shinka getting more votes than Kyouko in preliminaries came to haunt her later. |
