Best (kinda sorta) progressive track in the contest?










Yes, I left out the Gust tracks. I didn't feel like debating whether they were progressive or just vocal songs that didn't have a verse and chorus.



Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 11, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions you are not doing this, your vote may be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isn’t up by then.
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

LoH: Trails of Cold Steel - Atrocious Raid

also uninformed (person who hasn't gotten around to playing ToCS) question here, why not Risking Everything, Here We Stand instead? Not used in-game or what?

Pretty weak day overall.
I guess DpObliVion gets to be in my sig now. His knowledge of video game popularity contests far surpasses my own.

really that interesting. It is basically just fast and loud, but the melody and everything else about it is all just really generic and simple stuff that mostly doesn't interest me. I do like some parts of it like the chords it starts with but like....even though I like electronic music, I definitely do not like this particular cliche of like hoover-like synths over really fast Bobmobmobmbombobmbo kick-snare-kick-snare 4/4 drum beats. I don't even mind electronic dance music I just think stuff that's this PARticular SET of things sounds dumb I guess. I like stuff that's over the top, but this is over the top in a way that's boring to me I guess. Still better than a lot of stuff though I guess, and it's not like I can't stand listening to it, I like it, it's just like uhhhhhhhhh, h.

This is an incredibly easy match for me obviously. I'll be VERY sad if got hive of ra loses, but hey I actually managed to get my favorite VGM track into a contest so yay.

==

Aww of she. AWWW! cute. wow that sharp 7th this uses sounds like such a cheesy haunted c astle movie AGAIN (why does stuff like that make me think things sound dumb so fast) and the church organ doesn't really help with that, and in general the style of guilty gear guitar music has always just been very "meh" to me, so I am not really going to place this very high in the first place. might be one of my least favorites in either contest actually. :< sorry!

rotating triangles please keep eating my original meat loves. WOW you can hear that sample loop point bubbling like a big boy when the notes get too high, that's cute. Obviously that makes this a "less good" chiptune but WHO cares because "nostalgai"(exc ept I did not grow up with a super nintendo entertainment system ) Hey look there's the zelda main theme!! Everyone knows that song!!! I've always liked how uniquely the chord changes interplayed with the melody in the zelda main theme. I think that is actually a part of why it is so catchy, because it has a melody that sort of guides you through the more unpredictable chord changes that are I guess kind of unpredictable if you do not know them already so it like makes you feel like it is taking you on a dangerous journey but your friend the melody makes you still feel like you are safe hero cylinder child that will not get lost even if you are doing the adventure thing. Really it's the perfect balance between like "complex yet unpredictable" and/or "simple yet unpredictable" that you do not fall off the edge of the balance beam but you also don't get bored and forget what happened. Unfortunately for me I would rather fall off of the edge which is why my favorite video game song is "Groove Coaster 3 - Got Hive of Ra" and not "Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Credits"

I remember this match seeming harder when I was making my favorites bracket but I think I actually find it extremely easy lol. Definitely prefer the zeldo

Almost included it in the poll. Decided there were options that fit the poll better.

I'm not the nominator (or even supporter) but it should play in-game. Personally I think the intro added by Risking Everything is weaker than the main part of Atrocious Raid so I'd agree with the decision to go with Atrocious Raid over it.

mm-hmm. I have it on good authority that the artist formerly known as Ed Bellis wants to vote for nothing of the sort! I've figured you out! DISQUALIFIED!

work it out sounded like some really shitty song you'd hear in a 90's exercise video (and not in a good ironic way)

(16:51:50) eb: this is such stereotypical early 90s cheese and i like it a little too much
(16:52:15) eb: if sonic and friends put out an exercise video it would be to this song
