What a first match! We are not half-way in yet, and yet we have our first major upset, with the lowest seeded girl, who only got in at a hair's breadth, beating the highest seeded, and highest nominated girl. What an absolutely disaster! Will we see more of this? Who know, but you all simply must stay tuned.
Today. we start a more quiet match, perhaps,
** 16. Lain Iwakura / Serial Experiments Lain **
We introduce today the lowest seeded of the Sweet Sixteen girls, though from the performance of yesterday's match, it seems like seeds do not reveal much. Even now, within the fediverse, Lain's memetic power holds sway over We shall see if the cult classic status of both the show and can overcome petite and powerful girl lovers.
Lain is a bit of an enigma. She is not a human girl within her universe; in fact, she is not tangible except inside the world of memes known as the Wired or when possessing a separate, kuudere Japanese girl known as Lain. Lain is able to tap into the power of collective unconscious and shape herself ever so slightly in each individual's mind. With such power, she can shape the worldviews and mental narratives of every individual.
With the power of memes, will Lain be able to beat Tatsumaki? Let's all love Lain.
** RR 17. Tatsumaki / One Punch Man **
Tatsumaki crushed her opponents during the Royal Rumble, earning her a three-way tie for the most votes in a match. She earned the highest proportion of votes compared to the total, and . We shall see today if that power holds up or if Tatsumaki's victory was merely a fluke.
"Behold the Torndao of Terror! Most powerful esper super hero and anime girl beloved by Gigachudcels everywhere! Tatsumaki, despite her tiny frame, is the Hero Association's second most powerful super hero, coming behind Blast officially and Saitama unofficially.
Tatsumaki takes a no-nonsense approach to life and fighting evil, which brings her in conflict with her less powerful but more and glamorous sister Fubuki and that darn carefree Baldy who seems to always overcome all challenges Tatsumaki and S-Ranks are involved with despite looking like a dork and looking weak on official ratings.
Recent chapters have shown though that the Tornado of Terror might be developing a tornado of feelings for Baldy, making her the perfect tsun for this [tourney]."
Reminder to consider this the main tourney account and to not share or talk on the Baest poll thread.
>Sure, we LOVE our Samus lewds, but not just because her body is stunning, it's because she's such a gaming legend. Samus lewds basically become the hentai equivalent of Celebrity nudes/sex tapes, with all of their naughty, titillating appeal (further enhanced by Samus being an infinitely superior girl to worthless actresses or hack singers). At the same time, since we're so familiar with her games, Samus lewds have something of the appeal of seeing the cute Girl Next Door naked.
>Basically, Samus being such an amazing gaming girl is what elevate her nudes, her nudes aren't elevating her.
An anime or vidya girl having good lewds is a positive, nobody should try pretending it isn't, since it's a byproduct of great design, massive popularity etc. This is in large part a beauty contest, and if a girl can't compete on beauty you have to compensate with the likes of Memes, effortpoasts etc. Megumin almost certainly got more Coomer votes than Osaka, but Osaka won due to memes, likability and people rooting for an epic upset.
I'm curious what you guys' predictions are for the tournament. Christi shared his thoughts a few days ago. Here is the tourney bracket in PDF form. Share your own filled brackets here and let's so who can get it right.
No, there won't be any prize or anything else special for getting predictions right to ensure there's no incentive to cheat and ruin the tourney. This is purely for fun.
=================================================
MATCH #1: 1. MEGUMIN VS. 32. AYUMU "OSAKA" KASUGA
Let's try that again
Here we are Fediverse. We have finally arrived to main tournament, and with that, the very first match of the main tournament.
Let the games begin!
** 1. Megumin / Konosuba **
Of all the girls, many have speculated either Holo or Megumin would win this tournament, before it even officially began. Of all the girls nominated, Megumin is the one to reach beyond the 30's in total weighted points. She also had the most nominations, with the only one having double digits. Posted constantly on the Fediverse, as both a meme and as a cute and funny anime girl, taken as waifu by several Fediverse users, and from a consistently great series, we have high expectations for this tiny isekai witch.
Megumin is the great witch of explosive powers and chief member of the Crimson Demon. A massive chuuni, she fits perfectly with her misfit party of Kazuma, Aqua, and Darkness, always trying to one-up everyone in spectacle and achievement, but often her attempts end in hilarious Though she is immature, she does care for her family; and despite her mistakes and failures, she is still a very powerful girl. If you can I M A G I N E and love cunny witches, vote for Megumin.
** WCTB 32. Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga / Azumanga Daioh **
Osaka barely made it to the main tournament. She only won by a few points for a wild card tie breaker again Miia that itself was only conducted due to a coin flip. It would be a lie to say Osaka has anything more than a miracle of a chance to beat the number one seed today. But stranger things have happened on the Fediverse.
From her Royal Rumble match:
"Ayuma Kasuga, nicknamed Osaka from her town name, is opposite of the Osakan loud-mouth and lively attitudes. Kasuga is a spacey, slow, and quiet girl who takes it easy with life, including hanging out with her high school friends. She always states the obvious even if the obvious is stupidly simple. Always sleeping, she still knows how handle the toughest challenges well, like the English class mid-term or the school's sports festival. Even if she is not the brightest, Osaka still knows how to be a good girl and helps her friends in all their crazy school antics. Vote for her if you love lovable ahos."

Hey guys!
I've been felling better today. If that trend continues tomorrow, I'm gonna write all the info for the main tournament tomorrow and other stuff. The new plan is to start the first match either Thursday or Friday.
