Site may be 'borked' or DDOS-ED at this juncture as speculated by the other place.

UPDATE: 'Technical Issues" are preventing a start to voting today. The kick-off is now one to two hours later than advertised. Sorry for the inconvenience.

this could be the most predictable final, Toki losing will be the biggest upset

A Mass writing campaign would be amuzing, but I don't recall one that was almost serious since the Weirdness of the Nagato-Mikuru fight in 2006, where pretty much any character that was in Haruhi was written in, with Haruhi herself getting at least a margin of votes.

Hachiko · 2012-11-02, 16:23

31-30, Toki. And we are about six hours in.

spencer7x7 · 2012-11-02, 17:14

Wow, Everyone seems to be on Toki's side.

Why? I think that there's a good chance of anybody winning.

Ithekro · 2012-11-02, 17:25

Tie ending.

RJ TAYLER · 2012-11-02, 18:15

TRY to Toki 37-32 with a conversion to come.....yes I've left cricket analogies for rugby union ones given the scoreline.

broken270 · 2012-11-02, 18:19

May the best Saki win.

Spoiler:

Xellos-_^ · 2012-11-02, 18:36

may the biggest pair of breast win.

Hachiko · 2012-11-02, 19:49

Really Kuro? Really? What's with the Fakey Breaky Heart all of a sudden? O_o

Spoiler:

We have Ryouko Asakura at Achiga Girls' Academy to tell us what's goin with this.

Ryouko: Everyone is line-dancing with nothing to lose here in this Grand Final. It's a crazy party here with plenty of country music. A local cover band is playing "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus. A pretty played country song at that, but they feel that Kuro will win the day and pull off the upset of the century today. So that's what's going on here at the Achiga Girls' Academy. Back to you, Hachi.

This is the 2channel Anime Saimoe Tournament on 2channel World. We'll be right back.

RJ TAYLER · 2012-11-02, 21:23

Still 'seems close' as we approach ''Half-Time" do stay for the "Higurashi-Haganai" half-time show with your hosts with the moest Rena Ryuguu, Satoko Houjou and those love-em-or-hate-the pairing of Yozora Mikazuki and Sena Kashiwazaki who will provide the fireworks for sure.

Hachiko · 2012-11-02, 23:13

As we head into the second part of the proceedings, Rena, Sena and Yozora, what are your thoughts?

Yozora: Very closely contested match between the best out there in the eyes of the voters. I am not very impressed with the turnout. In matches past, there have been higher numbers of voters coming out.

Sena: Do you think that has to do with the IP bans that have taken place?

Yozora: That's probably a good reason because in the past, the world has been able to have their say in this competition. However, due to the IP blockings, a rival competition, the ISML, which you and me have taken part in this year, has arisen. This year, Kanade Tachibana has won the Heavenly Tiara and is visiting the sights of Washington D.C. and London as part of the victory package.

Rena: I remember when Rika Furude won this contest years ago, and there was much bigger turnout that this. Still, for the turnout, this is a very good race but I suspect that there may be some improper voting.

Sena: Improper votes or not, I think this is a really good race. I would like Toki to win this because of her heroism when things went dire.

Yozora: I hope Kuro wins, just because she beat Hisa, who beat Shana who beat...you. *evil smile*

Sena: Shut up! BAKAAAAAAA! *runs away*

Yozora: My, my.

Rena: I hope for a tie! I cannot choose! Two to take home!

This is the 2channel Anime Saimoe Tournament on 2channel World. We'll be back, a close race with Toki leading 85-78.

Xellos-_^ · 2012-11-02, 23:35

*taps hachiko on the shoulder

Shouldn't someone tell Rena to put down that machete?

Or maybe some Gaybot already raided the place and use DDoS attack on it.

For all you know, that Gaybot is into black twintail tsundere girl only.

*Became a M by Kuro's "S" skills, if you know what I mean*

Archaeon · 2012-11-03, 00:12

Since the match has delay, I assume that the result will also be delay too, right? How long do we have to wait for the result to be announce?

By the way, how does 2chan felt about ISML? I already had my fun with ISML back in 2009 when Hinagiku won the competition.

Don't really care about Korean Moe.

Ahh..non Saki fan rage and tears are always delicious and fun to be watch.

Security already took it away from her before she entered the studio room of the National Stadium where the filming was taking place.

Coldlight · 2012-11-03, 01:48

Go, Kuro!

Not gonna be late (for the ending, at least

) for this year's Final Match.

As one of my good end girls and a HanaKana character, Kuro Matsumi is my pick for the Final Match. It also helps that among the Achiga girls, she's the one I liked the most.

Assuming fakes are in play, she may be the one needing the miracle now; but as a certain someone would like to say: Miracles and magic do exist™.

Toki is the statisticians' easy prediction to win the match, so the odds are stacked heavily against Kuro - but the possibility of an upset is also not zero.

If this ultimate match is largely devoid of fakes like the penultimate match before this - then of course the currently neck and neck race between Toki and Kuro becomes much less predictable and more exciting.

Whether she wins or not at least I'd like to say: Kuro, gokurou-sama.

Hachiko · 2012-11-03, 02:13

Less than seven hours to go before voting and it looks like this Dragon Lord came ready to play...Kuro 137, Toki 134.
