Dive into the record books, guys, is that victory by Last Order over Sora the closest regular-season victory in ISML history?

Far from it. I remember at least two 1-VD matches.

Makes you wonder what a few more minutes would have done.

[Kiopi]

Oh my...Capitalism Ho! just got trounced.

[ragna92]

Damn! Kurumi lost by 600 votes? That was a shock. And wow Yoshino beat Asuna by a longshot. I think Yoshino might also be stronger than Kurumi.

Glad Shinobu beat Senjougahara but I didn't expect her to win.

[kukimunstir]

failed to stare at kurumis really really thin strap hahaha

ding ding ding

[hinakatbklyn]

I actually thought it was going to be a bad round (personally). Instead.....

Kotori beat Kurumi...... PERFECT!!! Actually surprised at how convincing the win was.
Not that I'm expecting Ruri to win the necklace, but she does hold a narrow SDO lead over Kanade with her win over Mashiro.
(Now the most complicated decision for the necklace round. Ruri, Railgun or Kotori? Railgun has Aqua 2011, so that leaves Ruri and Kotori.)


Despite a loss to Tohka, Mikan at least ends the first period in the top 16 which is good

Karuta actually beat Suguha...... Don't know what to say.

Ruri Gokou EVEN
Kanade Tachibana 5-1

Interesting odds. I would really be surprised if Kanade decided to switch necklaces with Ruri this year (Ruri claiming Aqua and Kanade claiming Amethyst). I would be fine with that, but I doubt it.

It is interesting to note that Yoshino now has the second highest VP right now, bested only by Kanade. And the second highest VF.
The girl draws votes, can't argue with that.

Too bad Kanade don't care about your SDO lead. Kanade don't care about voter overlap.

[Elvinsky]

The Good:
- Shinka winning over Yaya.
- Azu-nyan winning over Inori.
- Nyaruko winning over Rin.
- Yoshino winning over Asuna.

The Bad:
- Chocolat losing to Yui.
- Hinagiku losing to Yui Hirasawa.
- Sena losing to Shana.
- Erio losing to Kirino.
- Kud losing to Azusa.

The Ugly:
- Kurumi losing to Kotori. No hailing Kurumi...for now. (A temporary setback.)

[Athalon]

Good results:
Origami won, interesting
Bad results:
Hot Kurumi lost T.T (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻, tho expected from Kotori, she might become the second Tenshi LOL, or until Tohka at least
Ding ding ding lost
*snips hair again*

Sigh.....no thin strap trophy for me >///////////> *returns to staring @ thin strap*

Athalon #2 eh. LOL

I guess Kanade was just having a short slump a few matches ago. Kanade completely demoilshes Eucliwood. While Eucliwood has been looking a bit weaker lately, it wasn't to the point where Kanade should be aiming for for a doubling. So while I think Kanade probably overporformed here, it's still good news for Kanade and not so great for Eucliwood. Yoshino really goes to town on Asuna. It feels like Asuna has had seem really bad performances lately. I thought she had started to recover after a decent result on Nanami but it doesn't seem to be the case. Mashiro may have been the best in Nova last year, but things aren't so easy in Stella. Being able to hang with Kuroneko does show that Mashiro is one of the strongest characters in the tournament, though. After Ayase's run last year, she's been fairly quiet. She almost manages a big upset over Mikoto. Ayase comes up a bit short, though. It seems like the strongest Date a Live character may be Kotori with her win over Kurumi. Season 2 is still going on so this result can still change by the time the playoffs roll around. Yozora nearly manages a huge upset over Kurisu. She falls short, though. Kuroneko faced both Yozora and Kurisu so this isn't even a SDO related rally. Necklace match is coming up and Kanade is not at a massive SDO disadvantage. Can anyone stop her?
