[VGMC] Video Game Music Contest 18: Nominations, Emergency Overflow Edition

where bracket

So... Let's Go, Mt. Corel! was nominated with three different videos. Figure I might as well hijack this thread for a bit to try and determine which one we use. The options are:

1) Gamerip version, no intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWPuBaH5WcA
2) Official soundtrack version, includes intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUvf4lLJsKA
3) Official soundtrack version, intro removed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjCqcLt91L8
4) Something else??

The votes are in (and by votes I mean a handful of funny formulas) and the songs that are making the bracket on the bubble of 4/3 have been decided! These songs will be joining the bracket:

Missing-X-Link ~Ten no Yurikago, Togi no Hana~ - The Blue Sanctuary

The votes are in (and by votes I mean a handful of funny formulas) and the songs that are making the bracket on the bubble of 4/3 have been decided! These songs will be joining the bracket:

Zoku Satsuriku no Django - Cold Metal
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Plains of Eternity

Dragon Poker - Jump-off! [Piano Trio Arr.]
Tekken 5 - Formless Like Water
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse - Battle - f8 One Who Stands Against God

The spreadsheet will be updated with the full field momentarily, and keep your eyes peeled for the bracket announcement... soon! I'm hoping to get it out a lot faster than past years so it shouldn't be long!

Ohh, there's bracket!

..it looks like it didn't get in, though?

ok but the formulas don't have an ear for music. hire me next time

my preference is 2 > 3 > 1

• Well, at least I got one new track in (Grieving Womb), along with one (two) returners, as well. All my non-Kirby noms except Starting Over received a support at some point...I guess that counts for something.
• Gravity Man, having personally failed twice to get it into contests, qualified for this one!
• We have our first Unlimited Saga track in VGMC! Even if I didn't support it...
• Final Fantasy XIII-2 got something in for the first time since VGMC7! Great soundtrack.

• My failing to show up for the mad rush at the end of noms.... I just didn't feel like doing it this year. No regrets about that, except for....
• MAD BISCARSH's failure. (would have doubled it, but oh well)
• NFUN thinking FFX's Challenge only plays during the Yunalesca battle, when in fact it also plays during the Seymour Flux battle.
• My fantastic failure of my Kirby-themed day, yielding one support across five tracks!
• Poor Assaults of Mother Cluster landing on the bubble and getting cut.... ;_; I am now 0/5 on PSO2 tracks, though one of them got in when re-nominated. But it's also a bad year for PSO... nothing got in this year.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 got something in for the first time since VGMC7! Great soundtrack.

@Chinballz @Waveshine_2001 and the other Mario Kart 64 - Staff Roll nominators I can't @ for some reason, want to use this link? It has clearer audio than the one in the sheet.

I don't like it for some odd reason

That Staff Roll link sounds a bit...slower in tempo, I think?

While we're on version changes, @TeamRocketElite @slykirby are you okay to swap We Are the Lights to this longer upload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZg8UByFC0I ? Current link for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWx-k_rOpy4

The new one has Phase 4 and a nice ending chord, instead of cutting out at 1:50 to end Phase 3 (up to that timestamp, they're identical). It's "only" gamerip quality but it's the one I've always listened to and @Kecleon352 (original nominator) is on board!
