As with most of the matches at this point in the tournament, the first shoe to fall down will be the first hour. That will set the stage for everything else.

Hachiko · 2013-11-19, 12:03

Madoka has won the first hour, 33-12.

That's a pretty decisive first hour win. It certainly doesn't bode well for Kyouko.

Zeroryoko1974 · 2013-11-19, 12:18

That is sad. I would rather see main character win it all if kyouko loses

ion475 · 2013-11-19, 12:56

Continuing my "anti-Madoka"...

Pick/Predict: Kyouko.

Did it go like this during the Kuroneko match? But yeah, it's interseries match so it might not change.

Ichuki · 2013-11-19, 13:19

Prediction- Madoka
Pick- Kyouko

Madoka was leading for most of that match until the penultimate hour, when all the Madoka voters stopped voting and the HanaKana voters made their move.

Hachiko · 2013-11-20, 03:50

89-46, Madoka still leading right now.

Hachiko · 2013-11-20, 06:26

So with 2 1/2 hours to go...Madoka has cracked 100 on my tracker. I think she will earn a much lower vote tally this time around. The Goddess leads, 100-60.

Sf2: Watashi vs Miki Sayaka

Last chance to beat the Puella Magi. While I expected Mami to be here, Sayaka is far from weak and the Puella Magi have been shown to be nearly invincible. Watashi has shown to be pretty strong and has never fallen below 52% of the votes even in multi way matches. 65% on Azuki Azusa and 59% on Toshinou Kyouko are really good performances. It's difficult to really compare Sayaka's 69% on Yoshino to Watashi's performances since Yoshino is weaker than the others. Watashi probably has a real chance at winning here but I think I'll side with the Puella Magi right to the end. Sayaka's victory will be the 20th straight win for the Puella Magi.

Vote:
Watashi

Prediction:
Miki Sayaka

Last chance all right.

But regardless of who won tonight's semi-final (pending removal of votes), Watashi's still in a tight spot.

If Kyouko wins, Watashi's already low chances in the semi-finals will drop drastically, due to the prospect of a Kyouko-Sayaka final. If Madoka wins, Watashi might be able to upset Sayaka, but upset Madoka too? Very unlikely.

EDIT: Looks like the results are out... will the agony be prolonged? Or will it be cut short? The possibility of a third option is highly unlikely...

Scoreline forthcoming. I get my results from akumaxx of the ISML forum and then I transfer it to the graphic. My blog is projecting a Madoka victory based on my findings from the tracker, but the result has to be canvassed to confirm it.

Well, it's too bad that we've been denied an "And I'm Home" final, but I do like Madoka, so there's that for me. Congrats to Madoka!

Madoka also came in at fewer than 200 votes against Kyouko, whereas Sayaka hit much higher than that against Mami (who defeated Kyouko back in 2011). As a Sayaka fan, I'm heartened by this. I think that Sayaka may have a real chance in a possible Finals re-match against Madoka. She's still an underdog given how her 2011 match with Madoka went, but I do think an upset is possible.

The challenge for Sayaka is now clear - Defeat two pink-haired goddesses.

I'm hoping that her and her blade can pull it off!

Coldlight · 2013-11-20, 11:13

Ouch, there goes the "and I'm home" final. This is probably the closest it would ever approach reality...

Thanks for playing, Kyouko. Congrats to Madoka.

Looks like majority of the enfranchised members of The Faction have spoken: more would like to see a potential best friend/childhood friend final rather than a possible OTP yuri final.

...or The Faction voters are attempting to give all four final stage-placing Puella Magi the experience of participating in the grand Final Match - Kyouko and Mami already did in 2011, and now the time is ripe for Madoka and Sayaka's turn. This could help explain the recent uncompetitive exit performances by both Mami and Kyouko.

As a result of Kyouko's loss today, Kyouko fans and undecided voters who might likely vote for Sayaka in the penultimate match simply because they want to see an "and I'm home" final no longer have a reason to support her anymore - this means the core Sayaka supporters have even more reason not to drop their guard against the dark horse Watashi, now the last surviving champion of the opposition.

Pick:
Sayaka Miki @ Puella Magi Madoka★Magica

Hachiko The Akita Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Long Beach, CA	Spoiler for News: One Step Beyond for Madoka Kaname! Goddess of Hope one victory away from Saimoe Prime Minister's Office By Jo-Ryan Salazar November 20, 2013 British band Madness performed at the Mitakihara Middle School auditorium in the school's ongoing series of special concerts, performing a number of signature tracks, including "Our House," "Wings of a Dove," "Night Boat to Cairo" and "One Step Beyond." After the show, Graham "Suggs" McPherson went to the podium to make a special announcement. "We have just received a word from the organizers of the 2channel bulletin board system," McPherson said through an interpreter, "that Madoka Kaname has defeated Kyouko Sakura 191-116 to advance to the General Election for the Saimoe Prime Minister's Office on Saturday, November 23, 2013. Congratulations, Ms. Kaname." There were cheers of joy, hugs and handshakes all around. Sakura was at the event and was in an introspective mood. "I got a runner up finish and a Top 4 finish and I can live with that," Sakura said. "Like I said, I was up against a very tough opponent in Madoka and she was ready. She knew what she had to do, and I couldn't react. So I wish her all the best in the final. I think she'll be fine." Kaname was not at the concert on campus and was at Homura Akemi's residence, watching the returns and after the result was announced, the celebration was subdued, but the mood was upbeat. "I'm glad that I am going to finish better than 3rd pace this time around," Kaname said via phone interview. "But the job is not done yet. I think I will be facing Sayaka-chan in the General Election and I plan to do my best. We will do our best because no matter who wins, it will be a victory for the Puella Magi Party." "Madoka never likes to finish second place to anyone, so I need to give it all I got," Miki said via videoconference. "But I can't worry about Madoka now. I have to deal with Watashi and prevent her from crashing the party. I am confident I can get it done." "It wouldn't matter if I defeated Sayaka because I would have to face Madoka and then it's just a matter of whether or not any anti-Madoka voters will be willing to give me a chance," Watashi said via phone in Tokyo. "This is all gravy from here. What happens, happens, but regardless, I can consider this run to have been successful." "The race is now Madoka's to lose," Akemi added via phone interview. "Saturday will either be a moment of glory for both of us or a moment of despair. We'll have to see if the voters can at least give 200 to my wife on Saturday. If she reaches 200 first or is up by more than 50, the National Stadium will have a pink and white party never seen before on the face of the Earth. "Madoka is the angel of Japan. She is Japan's hope. This is hers to lose." __________________
