Unless you're talking about how you feel about the tracks, I suggest you look again. Blue Radiance and The Red Locus have 8 combined appearances and have never failed to make round 3. That's about as good of a history as you can ask for.

all of these matches are closer for me than I feel they should be, or I voted opposite what I'd expect. I can't stand the new version of Seymour Battle, which has basically ruined the best aspects of the original for the sake of being different. I could easily vote RFTM and expected to. Even Smiles and Tears isn't quite as terrible as I remember. Yes, I just said that about an Earthbound track. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

I think both of these entrants suck and will fold in R3 to anything with even the slightest bit of strength, but let's not kid ourselves about a 2hu track and a mediocre xenogears being strong as hell

What about a Necrodancer track or Radiant Historia?

I was all set to make a joke about how Nintendo's not in either contest (outside of Pokemon, or Fire Emblem, or Xeno...okay, you get the idea!), but Spirit Tracks has hung in there to prevail against the boom.

Main bracket contests weren't close. Is that a sign that we'll have a good R2 match, or did one of those two prey on fodder?

Okay, 1999 isn't horrifically bad for most people. It's just me. It had some notable video games, especially in the PC space. Everquest is a major milestone for the world of MMOs. It still gets new expansions today! I just looked it up and it's on its 23rd expansion. Impressive! I've never totally understood what made Everquest tick when others did not. It's something I'd like to understand just from a history lesson perspective someday. Everquest was big amongst my circle of friends in the late 90s/early 2000s.

My hours spent playing EverQuest may very well trump the number of hours anyone here has spent playing any particular game.

It's not that EQ is really all that good, but it was the first of it's kind (unless you prefer Asheron's Call) and it filled a void I really needed at that point in my life. If I wasn't a morbidly depressed college student who needed something to occupy myself for about three years so I wouldn't go off the deep end and kill myself, there's no way I would have logged 250 days played on my main in that time frame.

Yeah, that's right. 250 days. In 3 calendar years. On one character. I had alts, too. If you took away the number of hours each day I spent either sleeping or playing EverQuest, you would literally have nothing left.

I dropped it cold turkey once WoW came out, though. In that vein, 2004 > 1999.

Really don't care about either song in the second match, though I know Locus will win. I guess that makes this a pity vote? Dunno, don't really care. I think I favor Emotions a little, but not much. I'd rather have the loser of the bonus match continue on, TBH, because both those songs are pretty cool.

I don't care but Eleganza better beat that bad song.

I suspect that Aurora's Theme is scarcely stronger than Kolima Forest (even though I enjoy listening to one and not the other,) so even though lixAxil had a slightly stronger opponent, Eleganza tripled its foe. I doubt there's much to worry about there...unless you dislike Eleganza, which is where several of the KF votes came from.

Results day 5:

Well, it finally happened. Four straight days I played with fire regarding the deadline. First I knew I'd be out and got help. Then I thought I might be out and got my roommate to post. Then I was having trouble staying awake and toughed it out. Finally today, I had no idea I was still going to be out at 10, but I stayed at my sister's for a family outing and ended up chatting way late. My apologies. If at least one of the matches is within 3 at the normal 10:00 deadline, I'll keep them all open until 11:30. (Obviously I won't want to say which one is close.)

Aurora's Theme < lixAxil, 12-20
Kolima Forest < Eleganza (Cthylla Stage), 8-24
Halo < An Ill Omen, 14-18

Only the last match was contested, although Aurora's didn't get buried until later. Still, Ill Omen put up a 9-3 push at the end to come from behind and made it look convincing.

wait, you're actually inputting the retired tracks for comparison? Albeit with a drastically nerfed formula, one that puts greater emphasis on appearances than averages, bumping STDWE up to 2nd among retired songs...

That's so disorienting, because I know full well that the retired songs should almost unilaterally have huge values.

They should, so yes that's weird. And actually they were always on that sheet. I just filtered them out. Today I removed the filter for curiosity.

Actually, it was right as I got to the bolded point that I realized it's not strange at all--the "average" is essentially "(wins plus losses)/losses", while the "appearances" is essentially equal to losses. So the formula becomes (wins+losses) squared divided by losses--in algebraic terms, y=(x+c)^2/x. No matter what the value of c is, the function will have its lowest value at x=c, and thus, for any given number of wins (c), your total score will be lowest if your average is exactly 2.00.

If I rewrite your function as x + 2c + c^2/x, the derivative is 1 - c^2/x^2, meaning it will have a min when x=c. So yes, that is a peculiarity. It also has a slant asymptote that approaches y= x+2c and is perpetually concave up, so it will gradually flatten to that value for large x. Not that we're ever going to hit large enough x values for that to be really all that consequential.

It's not a simple parabola, though, which is why 3-6 is still below 3-1; in fact, you'd have to get all the way to 3-9 to equal 3-1.

It's not a parabola at all. It's a hyperbola. 3-9 shouldn't be equal to 3-1.
3-1: 4.00^2*1 = 16
3-2: 2.50^2*2 = 12.5
3-3: 2.00^2*3 = 12 (min)
3-5: 1.60^2*5 = 12.8
3-7: 1.43^2*7 = 14.3
3-9: 1.33^2*9 = 16

But
4-1: 5.00^2*1 = 25
4-2: 3.00^2*2 = 18
4-3: 2.33^2*3 = 16.33
4-4: 2.00^2*4 = 16 (min)
4-9: 1.44^2*9 = 18.22

So as you can see, winning one more match is far more valuable than simply putting in another appearance. If c is the variable rather than x, the derivative is linear with a slope of 2/x. (Assuming I did that correctly in my head.)

I designed the formula to reward songs that do well overall, but also to acknowledge that longevity also matters. But no, it's not a flawless formula. It was just a very easy one for me to enact without much thought, and I never expected anyone to do this much analysis on it. But since you are, if you have a superior suggestion, by all means, suggest it.

It's like a best album list and Nirvana's Nevermind.

Always thought that album was overrated. I like Come As You Are, and I respect SLTS, but c'mon. I wouldn't even say it was the best album from its year when you have Ten to consider.

And likewise, I think I'm going to question if '98 is singularly the biggest year evar. I see OOT, I see Starcraft, and I see FFT. Oh, and Half-Life. And begrudgingly, RBY and DDR. Okay, that is pretty good. I think we've already seen a year or two I would personally put higher. Only two of those were important to me.

I finished the secret quest in the first game, then decided to just roll with it for the Hunter quest rather than changing anything. It's surprising how long some people will do nothing, until they can play into your secrets optimally, while you just ping away at their face with steady shot and an army of peons.

I've been known to do this as long as I had the board. But often that's because I have a bunch of 1- and 2-health minions and strongly suspect explosive trap.

.and while we're at it, there are still two more songs with 0-2 records thus far that are making their third appearance this contest.

One of which is GBL Goddess Temple. I knew that without checking. But I can't find the other. Sigma Stage 1 and Hitomi no LAZhWARD already had their appearances. What's the other? The closest I see is Quell Excez Kranz, which has gone 2-1-1 and Septette for a Dead Princess at 1-2-1.

One thing I was surprised by with this field is that we have 33 entrants hae have reached R3 before. Considering only 60 songs are returning, that's a remarkably high proportion. Obviously that meant that during bracket placement, there were a number of songs that had at least one strong showing that didn't get an especially high seeding to reflect that. (Notably, Soar and Location of Power. Though I would argue both have winnable matches, even if I didn't favor them.)

wow, two in a span of three posts. I never considered CoL to be pretentious, and I rather liked its battle system as a unique spin on the ATB formula. I supported Aurora's because I like the soundtrack in general, though I'll admit I would have picked a different track...otoh, Pilgrims on a Long Journey didn't do any better, and the battle themes have that epic chorus thing going that I suppose could be construed as pretentious.

The assumption is that it's strong, but maybe LAZhWARD will prove otherwise.

As for sending Paradission to the slaughter, something had to go there. My initial evaluation of the song placed it too low, which I'm able to admit now without looking at the match results. Kolima Forest, OTOH, I'm amazed is walking away with even 5 votes. (Not including more detail than that, because ongoing match.)

Results, day 4
Battle! Wally < Hitomi no LAZhWARD, 8-21
Hopes and Dreams > Paradission, 16-14
Knight of a Foreign Country > Rain of Blossoms, 22-8

Wally probably deserved a little better than being blown out 2.5:1 to a song that is likely to lose in round 2. Then again, Paradission held up really well against Holes and Dreams. Is that a sign of weakness, or is the MUSECA track just that good?


Side question: I don't know how many people, if any, are using the playlists I made, but when I've done that previously, I've consistently updated the list to move the newest matches to the top and pruned the songs that lost. So far this year I've been lazy, and wondered if it provided a nice aesthetic to have the whole field. So just taking a straw poll here -- who wants the playlists modified?

It's a bit early in the contest for results this bad!

The only way it would be too early is if the contest hadn't begun.

Results, day 3:

Getting caught up after being out all night.

To Make the End of Battle < Scrap I/O, 14-17
Movin' Out < Hidra Heteromycin, 13-18
Awakening ~Nurburgring Suite~ > Mikazuchi, 16-15

FYI: I decided I don't like the idea of deciding double-ties by pulling my vote, so in the event this happens (which I initially thought did tonight,) I'll be counting unique voters between the two matches.
