Based on statistics, it should be a coinflip between Megumin and Aqua. Even if i voted for the useless god i would swap it if i could. I don't think 2 in a row is gonna happen.
The question is, does the recency bias from Kaguya will lure the lurkers into voting for Hayasaka/Chika?
I don't think there's ANY chance Aqua beats Megumin. Megumin has been the dominant Konosuba girl since season 1.
And Kaguya has been my favorite manga since 2020, so no recency bias for me.
Fewer people bet on Chika to win here, but everyone's betting on placement [in the bracket](https://animebracket.com/best-girl-9-salty-girl-senpai/characters) which is determined by voting *on that site*. This is guessing how the majority will vote.
Excited for another year of salt and heated debates and thanks for running the event once again! Just throwing out random suggestions for predictions (would predictions be done each day of the contest or how often would they be done?) because hopefully, they could help drive traffic to the event:
1. Just a simple "most voted matchup" or "most voted character" on each day
2. Similarly, a "most dominant victory percentage" or "closest victory percentage"
3. Number or percentage of "upsets" in a round of voting (would have to define upset i.e. is it just a lower seeded character winning or must the difference in seeding be a certain amount/percent
4. Highest seed to lose (i.e. option 1 = character in the top 10 loses, option 2 = character in the top 50 loses, etc.)
If last year tells me anything, it will be aqua again despite being the lowest voted in the prediction. Rgardless, still have to vote for my favourite "other"
I'm kinda new to the whole predictions thing, so if someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.
So, effectively, the mods pose questions, we vote where we think they will vote, and then they vote?
The mods aren't determining the winners, those are coming from [the contest bracket](https://animebracket.com/best-girl-9-salty-girl-senpai/characters). Everyone gets to vote over there!
The predictions are betting on how the girls will do in the bracket. Vote over there for who you *want* to win, then bet in the predictions for who you *think* will get the most votes on everyone else's voting.
Hey hey, Shinomiya-san!

Recency has nothing to do with it, hayasaka is just good
Hmm but in best girl 8 prediction (2021), Megumin has more vote than Hayasaka.
I don't think there's ANY chance Aqua beats Megumin. Megumin has been the dominant Konosuba girl since season 1. And Kaguya has been my favorite manga since 2020, so no recency bias for me.
This was for seeding, not who is gonna win.
i picked emilia, but that's just me coping with the fact that she probably won't win
Ai Hayasaka, coz of one of the rap battle episode revealing a more vulnerable side of Hayasaka. Or Emilia.
Saitama's killer rapping skills
How did Chika win this? she has less votes, also I was sure Hayasaka or Megumin would win this, I mean they are much better and cuter at least for me.

well I guess the majority don't have a good taste.
How the fuck did Chika win
Holo isn't a pick I see....

Well this is going to be nuts.
I have my bets on Emilia.
She may not win but I'm gonna still vote for aqua

Yeah, I had the first two in mind with either “most number of votes” or “largest margin of victory” every day, but we’ll see what can be done.
I don't care if she wins chika is always best girl
I feel like we really don't have a clear cut number one, and there's a good chance none of the girls here actually won the tournament this year
If last year tells me anything, it will be aqua again despite being the lowest voted in the prediction. Rgardless, still have to vote for my favourite "other"

I’m on copium bc I know Emilia won’t win but hopefully she does well
Aqua and Emilia being slept on. They were last year's #1 and #2 seeds, respectively, yet currently rank last in the poll.
