Elimination match. Today will be the last matchup before the championship match. We have Shana against Tomoyo. Let’s have a look back on their past tournament history:
Shana (SnS)
- Anime Saimoe: 3rd place 2006 (Lost to champion Suiseiseki), 11th place 2007 (Lost to runner-up Nagi Sanzenin), 14th place 2008 (Lost to Tamaki Kawazoe)
- Best Moe: 4th place 2006 (Lost to champion Suiseiseki), runner-up 2007 (Lost to champion Hinagiku Katsura), 4th place 2008 (Lost to champion Horo)
- Champion of Super Best Moe 2006-07
- ISML: 6th place 2008 (59-4, 2-2), 2008 Aquamarine necklace winner
- 2009: Ranked #1 (62-1, 3-1), losses: Tomoyo, Hinagiku; Sapphire necklace winner
Tomoyo Sakagami (Clannad)
- Anime Saimoe: 7th place 2008 (Lost to champion Kagami Hiiragi), Round 2 loss to Ayumi Nishizawa 2009
- Best Moe: 7th place 2008 (Lost to Kyou Fujibayashi), 36th place 2009 (lost to Horo)
- ISML: 7th place 2008 (60-3)
- 2009: Ranked #3 (58-5, 5-1), losses: Kyou (reg.), Nagisa, Kotomi, Hinagiku (reg.), Yuki (reg.), Hinagiku (Championship); Aquamarine necklace winner
Past Matches:
- ISML 2008 Topaz 3 (4/26/2008)- Tomoyo 263, Shana 254
- ISML 2009 Aquamarine 9 (4/3/2009)- Tomoyo 1411, Shana 1306
Seems to me that Shana has more successes than Tomoyo, but Tomoyo has beaten Shana before. She’s one of only two characters to beat her this year (the other being Hinagiku). I say that Shana has the advantage here with the new OVA and the fact she has a better record, but Tomoyo can very well beat her again for the third straight time.
Although I said I would go for Shana all the way, I’m probably going for Tomoyo, my favorite from Clannad. This could also be because there’s no winning streak for Shana to extend now. Anyways, I’ll be satisfied with whoever wins. Either way, I think Hinagiku will win no matter who wins this one seeing how she has already beaten both of them (Shana once, Tomoyo twice).
-
5th place match: Kyou vs. Fate. Fate is win. I’m going for her over Kyou, but either way, they are already out.
Others: Relegation matches are still going. I will post the final results as the last round finishes. For once, I’m going for Louise. Glad Mikoto’s doing well.
For the exhibition match, I am going to abstain from that since I do not know Misuzu nor Ikaros since I do not watch or plan to watch 11eyes and Sora no Otoshimono. The past matches have been a character I don’t know vs. one I do know. Now I don’t know both of them.
