International Saimoe League 2011

[hinakatbklyn]

I wouldn't even try to vote the first hour. It's just like the previous match day with Mikoto/Ruri. It might be a first hour rush of voting.

[Last Sinner]

Just annoying since I always made it into the voting page fine every time the minute it came open except for the Grand Final...

Although 7th attempt has loaded all the background and top bar options this time...except the voting buttons and avatars didn't load.

It is first hour rush. I guess people do this for various reasons. I am curious about those reasons, thus would welcome people to tell me about it.

[Last Sinner]

For me, 2 reasons:

1. I'm still up when voting opens.
2. So I don't forget to vote. Not really going to remember to vote when I wake up since mornings are the worst time of day for me while I'm at my peak at night. Also, net connections over here are better at night but not as stable during the day.

And on about the 15th attempt, finally got through, 50 mins after the vote opened.

ARENA 01: Shana [Misaka Mikoto] (Already said why)
ARENA 02: Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko) [Tachibana Kanade] (Both decent Kana Hanazawa characters, but I earnestly prefer this one...slightly...)
ARENA 03: [Nakano Azusa] Aisaka Taiga (She's a little cute...)
ARENA 04: [Katsura Hinagiku] Nagato Yuki (Spunk and charisma is enough)
ARENA 05: Akiyama Mio [Suzumiya Haruhi] (I like her just the way she is)
ARENA 06: Yui [Abstained] Eucliwood Hellscythe (Yeah right...)
ARENA 07: [Kashiwazaki Sena] Gasai Yuno (Make me pick from these two?! Gah...One Meat Lovers family size pizza coming up! With a dash of offal in apologies for Yuno!)
ARENA 08: Konoe Subaru [Abstained] Takakura Himari (Whatever...)
ARENA 09: Shionji Yūko (Alice) [Kaga Rin] (It's Rin! Need I say more?! Such a polite, refined, cute little wonder!)
ARENA 10: Ayanami Rei [Kinomoto Sakura] (She got the ball rolling)

[Crisu]

I'm trying to juggle the server settings a bit. As hinakatbklyn said, during the last semifinal it only lasted about an hour. Still annoying, I know, but we've just got lots of eager people. ^^; We only have so much RAM unfortunately; any more would be too expensive when this kind of rush only happens for the few rounds in the postseason.

The rush has happened. All looks fine now.

Not quite sure what result would make me happy. If Shana won and that would be the end of that, I'd be happy to see her win. But something tells me loads of people will just want her to become defending champion. Either that or another KugiRie takes over (Aria anyone?).

And while I do like Mikoto, I got so annoyed with Index 2 that I dropped it. Doesn't help that Mikoto is stuck in tsundere mode. At least in Railgun her personality's more rounded. And it's based off Railgun that I vote for her.

I kinda expect Shana to win. SF1 pulling in more votes than SF2 kinda makes me think Mikoto doesn't have enough firepower.

Everything else, well, not really all that important. It'll be interesting to see how Himari, Subaru and Sena do.

[Triple_R]

ARENA 01: [Shana] Misaka Mikoto <---- I hope that the ultimate Flame Haze gets to fly off into a hazy flaming sunset of victory.
ARENA 02: [Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko)] Tachibana Kanade
ARENA 03: [Nakano Azusa] Aisaka Taiga
ARENA 04: Katsura Hinagiku [Nagato Yuki]
ARENA 05: Akiyama Mio [Suzumiya Haruhi] <---- I like Mio, bu Haruhi is almost an autovote for me.
ARENA 06: [Yui] Eucliwood Hellscythe
ARENA 07: Kashiwazaki Sena [Gasai Yuno]
ARENA 08: Konoe Subaru [Takakura Himari] <---- I wouldn't want to see Kanba's reaction if Himari lost. Also, she is very moe at times.
ARENA 09: Shionji Yūko (Alice) [Kaga Rin] <---- Both moe, but I prefer Rin's dialogue, shall we say.
ARENA 10: Ayanami Rei [Kinomoto Sakura] <---- A great fight between two classic moe girls. Nice booking by KholdStare McMahon here. I personally prefer "The Mistress of a Thousand Costumes" over "The Prototype of a Thousand Clones", though.

ARENA 01: Shana [Abstained] Misaka Mikoto
As I had promised earlier, I am not voting in this final. Last match was effectively a retirement match, I just came to vote in the exhibitions-- without them I wouldn't vote. I feel the result to this is pretty obvious though but I like both of them about equally. May the luckiest one win.

But I hope my recent posts on the matter help...


ARENA 02: [Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko)] Tachibana Kanade
Yea, to the very end!

ARENA 03: [Nakano Azusa] Aisaka Taiga
ARENA 04: Katsura Hinagiku [Nagato Yuki]
ARENA 05: Akiyama Mio [Suzumiya Haruhi]
ARENA 06: [Yui] Eucliwood Hellscythe
ARENA 07: [Kashiwazaki Sena] Gasai Yuno
Heh. Although Yuno's sex face is appealing, I think Sena's over the top snobbery and general silliness makes her a more interesting character to get to know. Plus, boobs.

ARENA 08: Konoe Subaru [Takakura Himari]
You lowlifes that will never amount to anything will never understand my superiority!

ARENA 09: [Shionji Yūko (Alice)] Kaga Rin
Probably the most exciting match to me. Rin is a better character overall, but Alice captivated me right away. The amazing style and grace was great, especially when she was knocked to the floor by a crazy bitch and didn't bother flinching at all.

ARENA 10: [Ayanami Rei] Kinomoto Sakura
Oh, I have something for frequently self-sacrificing people, I guess.

And that's a wrap. Saimoe no more, unless somewhat decides the plot demands I come out of retirement. It's been fun guys.

Outside of the new Seimoe I am done for voting for 2011 with this one.

*A note if I could not split them I split the diff ok. The only exception was my top to the ballot toss of the coin.

ARENA 01: [Shana] Misaka Mikoto
I, for one, would like to bow down to our Flame Haze overlord. She got the Ruby necklace, so why not?
ARENA 02: Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko) [Tachibana Kanade]
I just find Kanade better.
ARENA 03: Nakano Azusa [Aisaka Taiga]
Taiga is the better cat.
ARENA 04: Katsura Hinagiku [Nagato Yuki]
Still supporting Yuki no matter what.
ARENA 05: Akiyama Mio [Suzumiya Haruhi]
Could have done either way. Stayed with Haruhi in the end.
ARENA 06: Yui [Eucliwood Hellscythe]
I still find Eucliwood moe.
ARENA 07: Kashiwazaki Sena [Gasai Yuno]
Yandere is the new moe. Still, I do not know who is going to win. Probably Sena.
ARENA 08: [Konoe Subaru] Takakura Himari
I have not watched Penguindrum, but I do not really think Mayo Chiki harbors much in moe content. Assuming Himari wins.
ARENA 09: Shionji Yūko (Alice) [Kaga Rin]
Both of them are targeted for select groups and not popularized too much. If anything, I think Rin has a slight advantage.
ARENA 10: [Ayanami Rei] Kinomoto Sakura
Sakura will win this with no problem. Might as well support Rei.
