If there weren't IP bans more likely Saki won't be dominating at this ridiculous level I assume the IP bans applies for mostly foriegn votes since Saki isn't that popular anywhere thats outside of Japan there would be more Sakis losing and for people who lives in Japan and got their ip banned there's a possiblity they don't like/ don't know about Saki .

And quite frankly, the competition is just weak. So far, the only 2 results that I don't like that involved Saki is A3-1 (Saki > Kobato) and E02 (Yumi > Erio). Even then, Yumi is helped by the 3-way Saki match... Anyway, Yayoi puts up a good fight. She's just not strong enough, though, to throw the most undeserving QFist out...2-1 in prediction. For next round, no Saki for 1 match, and it's a battle between a old-school pink and a new-school pink. I'm going with Hinata. おー!Personally I'm a fan of both, but we need a new face, and we all know they'll pit Louise against Nodocchi if she won

Round 1: Picks (45-43-8), Predictions (69-27)
Round 2: Picks (12-20), Predictions (22-10) Round 3: Picks (7-9), Predictions (13-3) Round 4: Picks (1-2), Predictions (2-1) Mixed feelings. Love Hisa. Don't love the -Saki- dominance. Well, actually at this point I kind of just want to go with it. Let's break some more records, -Saki-. Hinata Hakamada @ Ro-Kyu-Bu!: <<袴田ひなた@ロウきゅーぶ!>> Louise De La Valliere @ Zero's Familiar: <<ルイズ・フランソワーズ・ル・ブラン・ド・ラ・ヴァリエール@ゼロの使い魔F>> This match I think is extremely close. I'm not even sure if Louise is a greater threat to them than Hinata. Actually, neither of them really are a threat to speak of in the first place. Quote:
What I like is about Kirame is that she's both optimistic and realistic at the same time. The only reason Teru didn't just outright beat everyone is because Kirame actually took the initiative and confronted her, again and again. Meanwhile Kuro just sat there, afraid to adapt until the very last second. And by the way, I hate you for your lame Kirame Subaru jokes. Now every time I drive by that Subaru place on my way into town, I can't help but think "すばらっ!" It doesn't help that the Subaru logo is all sparkly, either. Quote:
However, I don't think the lack of diversity will end the IP ban. Despite complaints from some people, -Saki- is winning because the majority of the 2ch community is voting for it. Some may complain about the lack of diversity, but even more would probably complain about a bunch of outsiders flooding in and, in overwhelming numbers, voting for characters that aren't that popular among the 2ch community. Which is what used to happen and why they started the ban in the first place. Probably. Still, though, I don't get it. I live in Japan and I'm banned. What does one have to do to not be banned? |

I don't think threats even exist in this Saki-poll 2012
I know right the 6 Sakis is definetly going to happen ( I don't think Sanya's strength is even close to Yuu's) but I'm not sure of the 2 Ries but even if the 2 Ries ends up going to finals they'll just be treated as fodders who gets destroyed by the Saki faction *sigh* Just when I thought Saimoe 2012 will be diverse.... to be honest I'm scared for Saimoe 2013 because one faction taking over it sounds plausible. Well for 2013 I don't mind if the series dominating had 3 or less main characters. Last edited by Ichuki; 2012-10-18 at 17:23. |

Even as a huge Saki fan, I have to sympathize with those disliking how much Saki is dominating this year.
I strongly defended Madoka Magica domination in 2011, but that was partly because the anti-Madoka side of the equation at least put up a serious and interesting fight right through the semis (as was already mentioned, Squid Girl gave Mami quite the fight in the Final 8 match-ups). I also think there was a bit more doubt as to which Madoka girl would win it all, whereas Toki winning J-SaiMoe 2012 seems like a fait accompli at this point, and we're not even into the Final 8 yet. But the problem isn't with the Saki faction, really. The problem is with everybody else. Everybody else this year is just ridiculously weak. It's almost a shame that Achiga-hen came out this year, because if it hadn't, this really might have been Shana's year....

The fact is that J-SaiMoe 2011 had more doubt and unpredictability than what we've seen this year.

Yea I feel really bad for Shana since this is most likely her final saimoe and Achiga-hen just ruined her chance because of their over dominance. This makes me wonder if Madoka Magica (excluding Homura due to the cheating incident) and Achiga-hen will get severely weakened in 2013 Saimoe because of their dominance kinda like when Lucky Star dominated in the top 2 spots in 2008 then became really weak in 2009 or they'll be strong still but thanks some other strong future faction they'll just end up looking weak.

If they want Kugyuu to no longer be a factor, Hakamada is the way to go. And so far...it looks like Louise is getting the job done early.

Puella Magi will be weaker because they already won. Even though she got cheated, Homura will probably be weaker as well. If not, we'll probably have our first series repeat winner. I'm interested in seeing how well Misaka does. Will the voters hold a grudge against her for cheating the character who likely would have won out of the contest?
