[imbehindyou]

I went Yay Yuki for one second then went WTF at rest of the result

[BurnWithPassion]

OH YEAH! Yuki won!! Sweet!!!!

[Eater-of-All]

Yay, Yuki won.

And two undefeated gets handed their first lost. Crazy round.

[Demi.]

And some one delete this post, forum is acting up again.

[Fate]

NOOOOOOOOOO, FATE LOST. T_________T

[Demi.]

Well, what else is there to say, except...

You people suck.

Fate lost, Yuki won. Fantasy fucked, overrated character won. Shit.

[NeZZuri]

I thought Fate will win too =/

Oh well...

[Signum]

When I saw the result I went like "Niceeee!"
Hell yeah, Yuki won!

Also, ick. The necklace picture of Yuki looks terrible.

[Eater-of-All]

I'd always known Fate will probably lose, judging from performance in terms of votes. Haruhi is just running too hot lately. For me though, it's the 17-0 vs 17-0 and the +1 to the lose column that made the match.

[Chocola]

Demi. would be glad to know that Haruhi and Yuki are second and third on my performance ratings, respectively, after his favorite character Shana.

[Meimi132]

OMG MAKOTO WON!!! She beat Tamaki!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!

So this match.. Fuuko won.... So did Makoto, Yami, Ayu... Kotomi couldn't beat Konata... only 100 votes in it though..

Suck that Sakura, Chii, Kotomi and Nagi lost....

And YUS!! I voted Yuki. Glad she beat Tomoyo.

[LazyCanuck]

FAIL

only word needed to describe who won their matches and the worst possible necklace winner ever.



only goods things Nanoha pummeled CC, Horo beat Nagisa and Shana beat Kagami, everything else was either extremely fail(konata over Kotomi...) or ment nothing overall

[Demi.]

Demi. would be glad to know that Haruhi and Yuki are second and third on my performance ratings, respectively, after his favorite character Shana.

Popularity > Moe -

[Fate]

I honestly don't vote based on a character's 'moe' quality or their prior background info or affiliation either.

I vote for the one that I love..the one that I admire...the one that elicits the most sentimental, wondrous feelings - Fate. nn the rest. How can 84+ people not vote for her. T_T

[Team Rocket Elite]

I got 4 matches wrong today to bring my average back to 2 misses per round for Topaz.

Predicted: Suiseiseki (RM) [45.89%] vs Ryūgū Rena (HNKN) [54.11%]
Actual: Suiseiseki (RM) [50.88%] vs Ryūgū Rena (HNKN) [49.12%]

Difference: 5.00

Predicted: C.C. (CG) [50.11%] vs Takamachi Nanoha (MSLN) [49.89%]
Actual: C.C. (CG) [45.12%] vs Takamachi Nanoha (MSLN) [54.88%]
Difference: 4.99

Predicted: Furukawa Nagisa (CL) [51.41%] vs Holo (OtK) [48.59%]
Actual: Furukawa Nagisa (CL) [48.32%] vs Holo (OtK) [51.68%]
Difference: 3.10

Predicted: Ichinose Kotomi (CL) [52.86%] vs Izumi Konata (LS) [47.14%]
Actual: Ichinose Kotomi (CL) [47.93%] vs Izumi Konata (LS) [52.07%]
Difference: 4.93


Suiseiseki manages to get just enough power to take out Rena. Nanoha tends to come through in close matches. I probably should have expected Nanoha's rating to be slightly lower than her true power since she doesn't decimate characters as easily as other powerhouses. Apparently a new Spice and Wolf OVA came out like a day ago. That might have been the tipping point for Horo's win. Kotomi underperforms in another Round 9 match. It was still a close match, though.


Average distance off the actualy result wasn't too great at 2.72. My three worst:

Predicted: Kawasumi Mai (KN) [58.75%] vs Misaka Shiori (KN) [41.25%]
Actual: Kawasumi Mai (KN) [64.74%] vs Misaka Shiori (KN) [35.26%]
Difference: 5.99

Predicted: Chiba Kirino (BB) [35.75%] vs Kawashima Ami (TD) [64.25%]
Actual: Chiba Kirino (BB) [41.56%] vs Kawashima Ami (TD) [58.44%]
Difference: 5.81

Predicted: Misaka Mikoto (TAMI) [38.93%] vs Saber (FSN) [61.07%]
Actual: Misaka Mikoto (TAMI) [33.45%] vs Saber (FSN) [66.55%]
Difference: 5.47

The poor prediction on Mai vs Shiori was an oversight on my part. It was an obvious SFF match and I marked to change my prediction to reflect this. I forgot to actually make the change and boost Mai. I think I still would have undershot the degree of SFF, though.

Kirino held up a lot better than I thought she would.

And Saber is back to doing really well.


My best prediction:

Predicted: Minase Nayuki (KN) [52.46%] vs Vita (MSLN) [47.54%]
Actual: Minase Nayuki (KN) [52.4%] vs Vita (MSLN) [47.6%]
Difference: 0.06



Predicted: Hiiragi Kagami (LS) [45.92%] vs Shana (SnS) [54.08%]
Actual: Hiiragi Kagami (LS) [43.7%] vs Shana (SnS) [56.3%]
Difference: 2.22

Predicted: Nagato Yuki (SHnY) [53.84%] vs Sakagami Tomoyo (CL) [46.16%]
Actual: Nagato Yuki (SHnY) [51.22%] vs Sakagami Tomoyo (CL) [48.78%]
Difference: 2.62


I guess Kagami really didn't stand a chance against Shana. Kagami was the underdog at the start of Topaz and Shana just looked better the whole way through.

Tomoyo really did try to make a at a second Necklace but she came up a bit short. Interestingly Tomoyo was #2 in my stats when she won the Aquamarine necklace and Yuki looks to end Topaz as #2 in my stats. May 21st may be the day Yuki takes #1 and never looks back.

Demi. would be glad to know that Haruhi and Yuki are second and third on my performance ratings, respectively, after his favorite character Shana.

My stats have Shana > Yuki > Haruhi as 1st, 2nd 3rd. It's pretty close.

[Chocola]

While you're at it TRE, here are my predictions:

[whiteworm]

Results are failed as always.
Goodthings - Nanoha,Kyou and Mei won.
Badthings - All - -.

[frustra]

the Maria-Index and Mei-Minorin match garnered MORE votes than Kyou-Hina? seriously?

don't want to RAGE at results but...

...i think i'll just sulk in a corner ;_;

[chaosprophet]

Well Eva won a match I didn't think she could... so I'm in a state of utter bliss right now.
It's a pity that Minori, Chiba and Fate (by so little...) lost. But I'm happy that Yuki won not only the match but the necklace too.
