Yeah, I missed this one too. I woke up this morning and it was over. It all really depends on whose up when it goes up that seem to determine the early going. I'm not sure there were any Cures that seemed to just explode this round compared to the first; the fastest being Melody and Twinkle (maybe Rosetta dependent on who you ask). It's a bit surprising that both Heartcatch and Futari are both gone, though: I think Heartcatch is a bit overrated myself, but I feel surprised that the three that have supporters (Marine, Sunshine, Moonlight) all bombed and Tsubomi had to go to a loser bracket in round 2 that somehow was kinder to Urara. (the loser bracket did have a nice selection though...and admittedly if I had the chance, Lemonade probably would have had my vote over Blossom and Sword)

Sort of hope the unpredictability holds up but who knows; though I am happy that a few underrated Cures got this far. (namely Egret)
