If you enjoy this tournament and wanted to post about it that's cool but if you're doing it because you think Madoka will win this, I think you'll be disappointed. Odds are none of the Madoka characters will win this because luck and politics aside, I don't think they're seen as the most moe by Japan. I can't say I personally mind it since I enjoy following this for amusement, although it's not something I really relate to Madoka since I started following it back when Nanoha was a big contender. --randomanon 13:31, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
- Even if they don't win, it's likely that they'll enjoy a good run, although, since it's single elimination, it will be highly dependent on the luck of the draw (note: I didn't even knew about this tourney until I saw this, and I am amazed by the depth, including the witches and ep12 Puellae). We have two preliminary round winners and Walpurgis just barely missed the cut (although how anyone would consider that thing moe is beyond me), so the remaining main characters are almost guaranteed in the main lot, with Junko and, to a lesser degree, Hitomi having a decent shot.
Props to KM for the page. --BrickBreak 14:37, 22 July 2011 (UTC)- Apparantly this is a big deal in otakusphere every year. Are characters only allowed in a single preliminary? If so, can we also get a list of already eliminated puella-magis somewhere? Also, where's viking-kun? She's moe as fuck. - Prima 16:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
- It's all covered in the links. Just don't get it confused with International Saimoe which is different. Saimoe has been around a long time. It's big and while moe is serious it's also done tongue-in-cheek, which is why you get so many votes for things like background characters. It's tradition for people to gang up and vote out top contenders like Homura Akemi before they get that far, so don't get your hopes up. --randomanon 16:57, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
- They're allowed into one match in the first set of preliminaries, and some of the ones that don't qualify there get into a second set of preliminaries. Eliminated list added. However, there seems to be an error:
- Patricia @ Puella Magi Madoka Magica: <<委員長の魔女＠魔法少女まどか☆マギカ>> round 3
- Patricia @ Puella Magi Madoka Magica: <<パトリシア（委員長の魔女）＠魔法少女まどか☆マギカ>> round 12
- I'm working from translations so can somebody who understands everything on the official Japanese site confirm that this is what it looks like, and Patricia is in two groups? Also, a Madoka character is going to win this year. All the talk of sniping only strengthens defenses against it, and the competition is limited, with the toughest rivals being a coupe of harems and all of the veteran factions out or fading.
