   #BestAnimeGirlTourney Semifinals – PREVIEW
   
   Just my thoughts on the upcoming semifinals.
   
   1ST SEMIFINAL MATCH:
   
   32nd Seed Osaka VS 12th Seed Senko
   
   Senko has not only been the strongest and most impressive-looking girl throughout this entire tournament, she has been the single most dominant entity of ANY major Fediverse tournament, ever, even putting someone like Samus to shame - remember, 4 different girls held Samus below 60%, while Senko has yet to even come close to dipping below 60%, and that’s against very respectable opposition. When an iconic, instant classic Waifu like Yor Forger has to work hard just to avoid getting Doubled, you just KNOW that Senko is insane. Senko winning this match, and indeed, the whole tournament seems like a no-brainer at this point.
   
   However, the ancient Fox Loli is going up against an opponent that the rules of common sense don’t apply to. Osaka’s inexplicable, unbelievable underdog run has already overcome the tournament’s #1 Seed, a change in the voting format *and* a fellow oldfag Meme girl, and if anything she just seems to be gaining strength. At this point I’m no longer reminded of someone like Shanoa in the vidya girl tournament, but Greece in the Euro 2004 soccer championship. NOBODY had any faith in the Greek team, despite it producing giant upset after giant upset, all the way until it reached the finals, at which point everybody suddenly realized that, oh fuck, these niggers really are gonna win it all, aren’t they?
   
   Considering that Senko has already wiped the floor with a girl who has actually BEATEN Osaka, and by a pretty big margin at that, there’s no conceivable reason why Senko shouldn’t nuke the tournament’s bottom seed. But I’m here to tell you that if Osaka manages to withstand Senko’s early onslaught, you better watch out, because it’s hard to imagine Osaka actually losing a close match at this point. And if she *does* defeat Senko, our underdog heroine is winning it all, like Greece did in 2004.

     Osaka defies logic because her first match was rigged. She is very much the embodiment of a wild card. What baffles me is how two girls who didn't even make the initial 16 were able to make it to the semifinals.

     2ND SEMIFINAL MATCH:
     
     18th Seed Mugi VS 3rd Seed Holo
     
     Despite her home field advantage and impressive Royal Rumble showing, Mugi struggled in her first two tournament matches against relatively weak opponents (yes, Tomoko was a total Fraud, what about it?), and during her quarterfinal match it seemed like Asuka was gonna take full advantage and finally expose Mugi, as she completely dominated the band girl early on with EVA Blitzkrieg tactics. However, in the end the German girl’s invasion of Mugicha during winter ended in disaster, as Asuka pulled off the worst chokejob I’ve ever seen in a major Fedi match. However, it’s worth noting just how hard the Mugi bros fought to turn that match around, and the 70 votes their girl ended up with is not only the single highest vote count we’ve seen since the new voting format was introduced, it’s actually significantly more votes than what Tasumaki got in round 1 WITH THE OLD POLL FORMAT STILL IN PLACE, and that was a match where Tatsu Doubled her opponent!
     
     Has Mugi finally hit her stride? If she has, Holo might be in trouble – despite her early status as the pre-tournament favorite, you have to admit that the Fluffy Tail Queen hasn’t quite lived up to the hype so far. The one exception was her demolition of Seggs Vampire, but both her failure to double Desu AND her almost choking away a huge lead against Shinobu call into question her status as a Championship contender. Maybe Holo will bounce back again and silence her doubters, like she did in round 2 - or maybe this match will be the one to end Fedi’s Fluffy Tail Final hopes/nightmares.

     @ChristiJunior Osaka is a fun meme, and may pick up some support from fans of waifus Senko steamrolled(me) but we're probably gonna wind up with Holo vs. Senko in the finals, much to the chagrin of Fluffy Tail Mafia haters.

     @ArdainianRight None of my picks or secondaries made it, I'm voting Osaka to watch the world burn.
