RESULTS: 2012 Ruby 6

[shiraoky]

Mehh. Hina This is depressing.

But yay for Kuroneko<3 And Homura did a lot better against Mato than I thought she would. Sad face for Char losing :[ And Menma was so...sooo close!

And too bad Lelouch lost :/

[Roo-loves-Elsie]

Elsie is win!

btw homura is surprisingly strong against mato
if only My Elsie do the same...
sigh..

[chan12]

Oh GOD
Hina loss with Mio
So Painfull

[CureRainbow]

....NNNNUUUUU!!!!! HINAGIKU! MENMA! What happened?!

At least Elsie won, though!

[Umi]

Well except for Menma's, all other results are pretty decent. Ruby is being good to me with back to back wins for Kotomi.
I'm glad Mikoto and Kuroneko won their respective matches too.

[RegalStar]

So for some reason, Homura for some reason got a lot more votes while Kyouko was still left in the dust. Why?

Also Louise WTF.

[Kordosa]

Good: Sena, Haruna, Kotomi, Mugi, Mikoto, and Shinobu winning
Bad: Irisviel, Homura, Shiori, Shouko, Tomoyo, Hitagi, Numph, Haruhi, Hinagiku, and Lelouch and Nunnally losing
Bittersweet: Kuroneko beating Yui-nyan, Elsie beating Kyouko, and Yui beating Holo.

[Elvinsky]

YES! YES! YES!:
- The Hasegawa siblings winning.
- Kanade, Ruri and Kobato winning.
- Eu winning over Kirino.
- Haqua winning over Kanon.
- Kotomi winning over Kuroko
- Mugi winning over Mafuyu.
- Mikuru winning over Nagi.
- Shinobu winning over Last Order.

Pleasant surprise:
- Mio winning over Hina. (Only because a losing streak got broken. It would be bittersweet otherwise.)

Bittersweet results:
- Elsie winning at the cost of Kyuoko.
- Sena winning at the cost of Charlotte.
- Azusa winning at the cost of Nadeko.

NO! NO! NO!:
- Shiori losing to Kurisu.
- Yozora losing to Inori.
- Shouko losing to Aria.
- Homura losing to Mato.
- Meiko losing to Sora.
- Riko losing to Ayase.
- Tomoyo losing to Louise.

Homura losing, this is terrible. More Mato supporters in my country.
Saber losing to Mikoto.
Nadeko losing to Azusa.

[Roo-loves-Elsie]

So for some reason, Homura for some reason got a lot more votes while Kyouko was still left in the dust. Why?

simple, Homura got a wonderkid/star player while Kyoko still stuck with the old lineup without buying new players

[YagamiHayate]

Hina, Homura and Hitagi all losing on the same day = bad results.
Hina actually did (slightly) better than I expected though; she really is a lot weaker than last year.

[Alexander]

Slightly less shit results.

[YagamiHayate]

If Homura can pull off a ridiculously good performance against Kuroneko, she has a chance of going 1 win and 6 losses with positive VD for the period. That would be awesome.

[Roo-loves-Elsie]

Slightly less shit results.

this is

Spoiler:

A MIRACLE!!!

[DurianDude]

Back to back wins for Kotomi! Success! I'm hoping she can overcome Nymph next round to make for 3 consecutive wins. Also I'm glad to see wins for most of the Angel Beats characters, especially Kanade.

I'm really not pleased that Tomoyo lost. Also Holo lost again? Somewhat mixed results for me this round.

[xcrossfacekillahx]

Slightly less shit results.

This is surprising

[Team Rocket Elite]

Homura has finally woken up about sleeping for the past 19 rounds. Being strong enough to nearly beat Mato means you can coast into the post season... if you bothered to try from the start. While looking nice is great and all, Homura desparately needed both wins against Mato and Erio. As good as Homura looks now, a post season finish will still need another miracle. Maybe if Homura can beat Kuroneko in the upcoming match, she might have a chance.

Haruhi had another disastrous match against Shana. I guess losing to Saber was more due to Haruhi taking a massive dive rather than Saber boosting significantly. Despite Haruhi's fall, Yuki still looks fine. Usually those two stick together fairly closely in terms of strength. I'm hooing Yuki doesn't decide to follow Haruhi and instead Haruhi rebounds. There's a big gap in strength between the Top 8 and the rest of the field in Stella so Haruhi still looks pretty good but it's a sizable step down from where she usually is.

Taiga's near doubling on Hitagi is pretty scary stuff. Mikoto only managed 58% back in late Aquamarine. Hitagi is a fair bit weaker now but a 8 percentage point is quite the gap to make up.

The Kodaka/Kobato vs Lelouch/Nunnally gives us an interesting look at how male characters compare against female characters in ISML. Nunnally should be a near non-factor in terms of strength but Kodaka probably isn't. From this, it looks like Lelouch is stronger than C.C. but not by too much. If you want to max the Male Exhibition results in Kyon isn't too much stronger than Mikuru and Hideyoshi is the strongest BakaTest character. We'll probably never get any good 1 on 1 Male vs Female matches, but I still think this stuff is neat.

[Momokutenshi]

Ridiculously shit results.

I fixed it for you.

Cookies will come... eventually~
*goes back to playing FFX*

[Shmion84]

Akemi Homura (black) getting better, Sakura Kyouko (red) getting worse...

[loudmouth]

Mio finally got a win over Hina. I guess she can have the one win but it won't happen again with another season of Hayate coming out in the fall.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by Lelouch and Nunnally's loss but still.
Kanade kills Victorique in Ruby for the second year in a row.

Ruby 7 looks intense. Arena 19 I was hoping Mikoto would have a chance at Ruby but going through Shana to do it? Good luck with that. I'd say even with Taiga holding her back somewhat, Shana has the best chance at the necklace. Unless Mikoto decides she's done losing. In any case it's going to Stella.
