Well a few people argued the results for A2-3 and the 2ch mods went back to look carefully at the results. What had happened was Seto had closed and surpassed Yami's 50 vote lead in less than 15 minutes to beat her by 18. The mods went back to see if some fake votes slipped by because of the massive last second votes. It took them about an hour 1/2 but unfortunately for Yami the results were confirmed. Yami was a victim of what they call "Fake votes." Someone posts a fake code and then the name of the character they want to give the fake vote too. Doing this in mass inflates that characters voting numbers for the vote counter and it will sometimes lead to reversal in the end. This is exactly what happened with Yami, and what they tried to do with Fuko the other day.
Here's a good example from today's and yesterday's results. As you can see Fake votes were in mass both days and even cost Yami the win today even after she had lead the entire time until 15 minutes till the end of the match:

Fake voting has been used in mass mainly for the past 2 years now. It's what cost Yuki her top 16 match in 2006, and what cost Kagami and eventually Tsukasa their match last year. In fact Tsukasa loss last year is almost an exact match to Yami loss, only with higher vote totals.
Well here are today's matches:
