Match 2 is the culmination to a brutal and extremely stacked corner, and the final match is similarly difficult. I'm staying with Empty Tome, one of my favorites of the contest, but the sole thought of Dancing Mad retiring truly excites me! May the best song win. Also small mention to the first match because it exists I guess.

I dont really like either of these
azuarc is quite good at predicting GameFAQs bracket battles.

Going 0/2 today probably but that's okay after I just got two support retirees including my vgmc 16 nom, Staff Roll!
Round 2 is such a banger. Empty Tome and Dancing Mad both deserve it. A damn shame there can only be one.

I've really started to appreciate the phantasy Star song here, which is a shame because I do prefer Un Deux Trois, although only by a bit.
Dancing Mad is always hard for me to form a full opinion on because Movement 1 and 4 are AMAZING and the rest is like good at best to boring at worst. An Empty Tome is really good but i don't think its exactly as good as dancing mad, unlike a good few other castlevania songs I know that would probably beat it for me imo

I easily wish for both songs in Match 1 to retire, it hurts that I can't go for both here.

Empty Tome's still a neat song, and I still really only care for Movements 1 and 4 for Dancing Mad, so the choice here is easy for me.

My opinion of Dancing Mad has not improved by listening to it for the fourth time in a row, quite the opposite in fact. Even with half of it cut out it still gets repetitive. I feel like the compositional ambition of the song is held back by the SNES sound.

Everything's Alright
