[ion475]

Some hard one today...

ARENA 01: Makise Kurisu [Hasegawa Kobato]
（あんちゃん～～～～）
ARENA 02: Kanzaki H. Aria [Tōwa Erio]
(The first true hard one...but again, Erio is waifu level while Aria, well, if not for the fact that Kugyu voice her, I wouldn't come within miles of the anime she's in...)
ARENA 03: [Victorique de Blois] Sakura Kyōko
(Victorique is kawaii...too bad not enough people remember or realized that)
ARENA 04: [Yui] Mine Riko
(Yui, nyan, Yui, nyan...yep, that single moe moment is still well remembered)
ARENA 05: Honma Meiko [Kirishima Shōko]
(Yandere FTW)
ARENA 06: Shimada Minami [Shiomiya Shiori]
(Ahh...Ahh...Ahh...A...AHO!!!!!)
ARENA 07: Haruna [Kōsaka Kirino]
(Imouto FTW)
ARENA 08: [Haqua du Lot Herminium] Akemi Homura
(Abandoning Homuhomu already...okay, Homura is probably the more moe girl here but her underperforming did sway my vote from definite Homura to 50-50...)
ARENA 09: Iwasawa Masami [Charlotte Dunois]
(Iwasawa hate vote continues)
ARENA 10: Fear Kubrick [Kashiwazaki Sena]
(Now let see by how much Niku destroy Fear...)
ARENA 11: [Yuzuriha Inori] Nakamura Yuri
(Yurippe hate)
ARENA 12: Suzutsuki Kanade [Himeji Mizuki]
(Kanade hate...plus Himeji threaten me with her bento if I don't vote for her)
ARENA 13: Kasugano Sora [Irisviel von Einzbern]
(Sora is an imouto, but it's unlikely I'll vote for her any time soon)
ARENA 14: Tachibana Kanade [Elucia de Lute Ima]
(Since my waifu #1 don't exactly need my vote here <- Will see whether the relationship broke off first or I get cut apart over and over by Hand Sonic first)
ARENA 15: [Nakagawa Kanon] Kuroi Mato
(Happy, Happy, Happy, Crescento)
ARENA 16: Konoe Subaru [Eucliwood Hellscythe]
(She's still getting my vote by default...)
ARENA 17: [Mikazuki Yozora] Gasai Yuno
(Another by default vote. I'm still no Yozora fan but it's not like I hate her...)
ARENA 18: Aragaki Ayase [Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko)]
(How am I suppose to pick from the best yuri couple ever? Oh well, the cat is still my waifu #2, despite Ayase pointing a kitchen knife at me while I'm handcuffed)
ARENA 19: [Katō Marika, Chiaki Kurihara] FNC, SG550
(Completely random. But since someone mention Kurihara = Kuroneko, I'll go with the Space Pirates over the Gunslinger Girls <- Running)

================================================== ====================================

ARENA 20: Illyasviel von Einzbern [Nagato Yuki]
(Yuki IS the goddess of moe, now bow down and worship her)

ARENA 22: Saber [Hirasawa Ui]
(Imouto FTW)
ARENA 23: Suzumiya Haruhi [Asahina Mikuru]
(Haruhi hate vote)
ARENA 24: Kotobuki Tsumugi [Ikaros]

Is it strange if I'm more invested in the coupling exhibition matches than the normal ones seeing as how their outcomes are more or less predictable ?

[FlareKnight]

ARENA 01: [Makise Kurisu] Hasegawa Kobato
ARENA 02: [Kanzaki H. Aria] Tōwa Erio
Well let's see how far Aria can go.
ARENA 03: [Victorique de Blois] Sakura Kyōko

Exhibition 1 (A 19): Marika+Chiaki is an unbeatable team! It doesn't matter who the other team is, they should score somewhere in the three-digit-range.

Exhibition 2 (A 38): Now there I really didn't give the ever so slightest damn for either team, but since I didn't want to have an Abstain, I pretty much voted at random.

I respect each person's right to vote for any character they want for any reason they want... but I have to say that the reason you're giving for this particular vote baffles me.

I get strategic voting - Say it's a 3-way match, and you know your No. 1 girl in it has no shot, and you also have a strong preference between the other two girls. Then it makes some sense to vote for your 2nd favorite girl in the match. It's for this reason that I once came very close to voting for Ohana instead of Sayaka in one 3-way match a month or two ago.


I also get mercy voting, as you're doing in Arena 14.


But voting against a character you actually prefer just because you don't like her strength level... This isn't gambling here. Votes aren't the same as predictions.

Plus, if enough people take this approach, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy - You contribute to the very thing you dread happening. If you think that Homura is weaker then she should be, then that calls for more support, not less support. It calls for rallying around her, not abandoning her.

The only exception being, again, a strategic voting situation. But I don't see how that's a factor in Arena 8 of this round.

It's more or less a 50-50 matchup for me. Normally it may have been 30-70, but Homuhomu just doesn't have that "factor" anymore. Of course, using normal logic, I should have support Homura since she's underperforming so much. But oh well, 50-50 vote is 50-50 vote...

(Now that I read back at what I wrote...yeah, my logic IS weird since I kind of repeat giving up Homura twice instead of giving the reason why I went for Haqua)

On the other hand, yes, Elsie is a mercy vote...it'll probably happen a few times over the year when it comes to Kanade match...(Victorique and maybe Erio would probably get the edge over Kanade for me. Of course, a certain cat over Lovely My Tenshi Kanade-chan is a given, Kobato right now is a maybe. Homura may get my mercy vote, but right now it'll be a coin flip...).

On the flip side, though, if I decide that I'm bored and rewatch AB, I may not betray Kanade anymore since it would remind me why I claim Kanade as my waifu #1 in the first place...

Do not worry, I have been like this since exhibition matches were introduced. You are not alone.

[KholdStare]

Do I get credit for being the mastermind for most of the exhibition matches?

The Tag-Team matches have been the early highlights of ISML 2012, imo. So yeah, big kudos there.


As for what you're saying, ion, I now have a bit better understanding of your logic, but I never saw Homura's moe as being based primarily on her strength. Actually, much of what made her moe, imo, is that she's a bit of an underdog fighting against fate itself. Perhaps it's fitting that she's "weakened" a bit, and with the support of those that like her, she might pull off a very moe comeback.

Hah, yea, though I guess it doesn't matter anyways so vote whatever you want. It's not like anything material comes out through most of these matches. Of course, to the very end. :3

If there's one of a few reasons I still come to AS, it's because good old A_W can cut through anyone with tact and genius. Say it like it is, champ! ^^
