Preliminary Group 12

Charlotte won as expected, but her vote total and percentage were weak compared to Kuroneko's. The Infinite Stratos debut wasn't a disaster, but it didn't indicate the strength needed to beat the top opponents, either.

Infinite Stratos will deploy Cecilia and Lingyin against Shana, Nymph of Sora no Otoshimono, and Suzu of Seitokai Yakuindomo today. Given the trend of rookies beating veterans and the lack of faction strength backing the last two, Infinite Stratos should be able to beat them all if it's going to live up to the hype. However, as of this writing at 03:00 Shana is blazing ahead and Cecilia is languishing in 5th, so this might be the group where a veteran finally wins.
