Rules:
- Listen to both songs in a given match, at least through the loop time provided (to make sure you don't skip before you've heard the whole thing!)
- Please consider the loop point listed when judging the song; if a video loops one minute 5 times, don't treat it as if it's a repetitive 5 minute song
- If it's a match between your favorite song ever and a song you despise, still LISTEN TO BOTH! Votes can and will be disqualified if there is suspicion songs are not being listened to, and you may be discounted for the rest of the contest for repeat offenses.
- No alt accounts, no rallying or begging, etc., etc.... You only get one vote! Swapping votes is alright, just make clear that you've already made a vote and are swapping.
- Make clear what your voting options are! Please keep votes separate from any comments, and use the titles given in the topic post.
- Voting in all matches is not mandatory, feel free to skip matches you do not wish to vote in.
- Vote based on the links provided, and not other sources of audio. Links are specifically chosen for best quality and the like.
- Don't discuss vote tallies in this thread, or in other threads, as they may influence votes. Likewise, please refrain from looking at the running tally before voting.

Voting Period:
- Today's matches will last 24 hours from the time of posting, or 24 hours from 10pm Eastern, whichever is the later time.
- Please note this may mean that two topics will be active at the same time!

Match 2 is a spawn directly from hell; how dare you. I've always liked Amazon and it's extremely good redo of the NES track, so it gets my vote, but whoever wins here should definitely retire; Layton music is just nothing to complain about. Match 1 and 3 are also good stuff, close picks as well.

Close matches! I like the first 4 tracks quite a bit. Apollo has bits I love and stretches I don't, whereas Zero has a decent build. Voting for the higher highs!

If more of Zero Lab was like the breathy part before the loop, I might consider voting for it. I still like the song a lot though!

aria math continues to be one of the most mind blowing and transcendental pieces of video game music to me. no matter how often ive listened to it literally showed up when my s/o streamed minecraft yesterdsy lol , i feel my breath stolen. everything, from the hand pan to the synths, to the way it just lifts at the end before winding down to the melody in it's basest form. holy fuck, i wish i could articulate how much i love this song and why it is my favourite entry in this year's bracket.

i hate to vote against the amazon, really y'all know ive been low-key simping kaufman with my writeups this year, but holy moly, the last specter theme is another all timer.

man the video for apollo is so fucking wack. first time i really paid attention to it.
