Counting 80-85 range real answer is hypnospace

HM to ace combat 7

As well as katana zero

Drowning Valley
A Little Witch Struggles
Town - Source of the Morning Glow's Smiling Face

I don't really have strong feelings on drowning valley but I really don't care for celestial resort at all

Another Medium distinctly on the side of the UT soundtrack i like a lot. If only it was in the first match instead.

Two Years Gone might actually be my outright favourite on the Iridion set ugh. I'm not sure which town theme I like best in V, Waning Twins Party is super good too. Not to mention the FM versions being really strong in their own right.

I guess i'll add that if i did ratings for today it'd be like

4 vs 7
8 vs 9
8.51 vs 8.5 lol

i hope i win

Rhapsody
Filthy Mind
Cry, For IDOLA The Holy

Just remembered to finish up first 3 rounds of favs bracket snubs

Soon I'll need to start on r4 winners i suppose, though it's kinda going to be messy with 4th songs floating around in losers too too

Anyway i like rhapsody quite a bit. Splendid Form also alright but it doesn't engage me as much

Not totally sold on filthy mind but there's a fair bit i like

IDOLA

Aoki Negai -Full Size-
Beasts as Black as Night
Intro Part 1

I want to murder guitars

I didn't like today's ys song as much as I expected, probably because of the length

A song I voted completely generic bgm from a game I actively don't care for over because of its nonexistent length, vs a song i went on the record on discord as referring to as complete fodder

What a day

First, I'm asexual,

Also same

Extremely powerful day, everything is great (some surprisingly so). I could easily flip on any of these.

Sophisticated Fight
Soul of Sectonia
Town - A Town Embraced by the Azure Sky

Apologies to all etrian odysseys for being allowed to be subjected to my unpopular and extreme town theme biases because yeah it's kinda screwed sorry

To be fair i wasn't exactly expecting it to run into a song that feels halfway between zts and a top tier wangan song like fuck

Antipurity
Shudder
Gyro Man

Pretty good day

Echoes of the Mystical Forest
Mechanism Turned On
Eyes On Me

Can You Feel the Sunshine?
Overcoming the Trials
Twin Terrors

Great day. No, I don't consider the snubs best match because the other two are too good (it's good too though)

Vivaldi

Vertigo (Stage5)
Maybe I'm a Lion
Mantis Lords i guess

The answer is obvious

Prologue B, clearly

Last Remote
Next Step Toward the Unknown
Healthy Unicorn Girl

The first match is everything i would've wanted from a match involving these games. There aren't many songs in touhou I'd actually take over Palkia/Dialga.

Both of these are like a 6 to me close match but I'm kinda indifferent

Discovery of Gravitation goes places, though I feel it would've been stronger had it not departed. The 4 and 5 of the tsurugi set are two I specifically put on because they're polarising as heck but I love them, and I'm glad we got to one of them here. They were both hit kind of hard by the album to in-game transition though. Healthy Unicorn Girl here is missing the last minute or so from the album version (which is pretty major when it's not even a 2 and a half minute loop). Hopefully that doesn't hold it back too much.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Natureends
Misunderstanding

I guess i don't have to feel bad about accidentally using a version of Golden Showtime not used in-game considering this blatant Shikata Akiko album arrangement, is being used lol. Not that it even needs it. OWGiOW is solid but it just isn't at that level.

Bdandblard (dynamic - zunpets). Might've gone with city ruins dynamic with no vocals it was nice

apples and oranges. Even if this apple is ripe off the tree, I like oranges more (azalea is good for what it is but you know)

Phew, safe

EQLIPSE free on android

though it requires qooapp to download nowadays because they took it off the play store eventually

also a rhythm game

I had a couple of game crashes right as some lategame missions ended in 2

*shudder*

what about project x zone 2

SantaRPidgey posted...

project x zone is a bad game, so please don't give me another one of those

but seriously, was project X zone 2 better? Project X zone had slight promise before it became a repetitive grindfest.

Writing was kind of better but uh

Yeah no it was even more drawn out lol

Northern Barramundi
whops lol
still no change tho, there's just something I can't place holding it back too

Laurara's Dance
Flower Mountain Canyon
Northern Barramundi

ASG is good, but it just doesn't have it here.
Scarlet Forest is okay but just doesn't grab me. Not as big on FMC as I'd like to be but still an easy enough decision.
The vocals let Hypnospace down here.

On snubs, b/c (not alt c) or a b variation with fixed 3, 2, finals are what I'd support. More than partially because I already locked in r3 stuff in favs assuming it'd be along the lines of them anyway, but also because there are just a number of songs I want to hear in those lower sets

"Did you ya'll come back because of smash ultimate?"

Sad

Valanga
Hunter's Chance
The Battle of Lil' Slugger

Pretty sure i said last round that the first match would be close. I was wrong, oops. Valanga still pretty easily my least favourite of the colette set but not digging tiger today.

Hunter's Chance comfortably in my top 10 FF9 songs, Escape Again not in my top 10 crosscode songs.

I don't have particularly strong feelings for the zinnia theme arrangement, but I still didn't expect to vote this way.

A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World: The Song
Stage 5
Heaven

Jeez Vertex Cradle is ridiculously good. Having said that, even though I more than acknowledge yuno the song is not really a match for it, it's ironic since Mycro raised a point directly to the contrary but it did spark an emotional engagement with me, and that's why I'm siding with it.

close 2nd match. stage 5 isn't exactly the most ambitious song out there, but I think it's really nice. menu 2 is a decisively alright song too imo

heaven great. torrid tumble good too, but this match is pretty damn straightforward for me unlike the other two

fingers crossed for a 1/3 today rather than a 0/3

Challenge 2
Ricordando il passsato
Goblin's Lair

Autotuning hell. Egregori is fine outside that but it's hard to ignore. Also i liked crosscode's setlist enough to get the soundtrack physically on a whim so... Yeah, easy decision. This one's not my favourite in the set but it's still really solid. I'm not sure why but I got a smash/kirby vibe from the title, and that remained after listening too. Good vibes. (I'll likely check the ost out properly later, it arrived got it earlier today and I couldn't till now)

Evil second match, but one I have a clear preference in. RIP's full version is extremely extremely good. Sorry CC, you deserved better.

The rhymes are nice, but repetitive. Goblin's Lair is a fun tune with good atmosphere. Close-ish match, I may have gone the other way in favs i forget oh well

Also Star Fox Guard was alright

TTT2 Wii U Edition obviously
Color Splash fight me if you say otherwise
Remember Devil's Third lol
Nobody remembers Rodea

Galacta Knight
Level Design - Sheet Music
Calm Passion

Gentle Slope Cave
It's Not Over
Green Labyrinth

I'm still not a terribly big fan of automata's soundtrack compared to everything else monaca has done in that style. Overstays its welcome even though I feel I should like it regardless. Meanwhile, (pokemon) super good mystery dungeon song

2 < 1

Hard meh, maybe the worst dai song in any of the setlists (i even like tomorrow more). Prinny song alright. Reminds me of other things i can't quite place I'm pretty sure I like more than it though

*Switches to ougon*

Interesting that both the English and Japanese titles for the Umineko fighting game are listed here. Pretty good match.

Main reason was so i could get away with pre-cross tracks lol

Passion for Exploring
Last Surprise
Slum Street

YSOtEotT (really rolls off the tongue, huh) is pretty alright, but held back by particularly weak instrumentation in parts, which it needed to not have because I still like Passion for Exploring more than I realised

Last Surprise unsurprisingly good. HODO not bad but it doesn't come close enough

Of the three opening themes for Ougon, I feel this one (which is also the current one) is the weakest by a considerable margin (hence the reason i tossed it in the lower set). Slum Street cool, a kind of 90s I will never not like. Yes I'm voting against my own nom oops. I probably would've still had golden showtime over a lot of other things but not this

Advocat in GrimGrimoire (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal)

Also Agartha-S for something more affordable

Umihara Kawase Fresh

Fairgrounds
Conflicting Passions
Clock Tower

Obviously it can only be one character: Load Ran

Back in Time (Instrumental)
Mysterious Trap
Bard Story

i like everything today, in some cases more than i feel i should because i just *really* like elements that outweigh issues i'd otherwise have probably. maybe it's because i'm fresh off an overload of really bizarre music from the ultrafight kyanta dev
. who knows

doom could somehow have a chance

Xanadu (Stage2-B)
Ancient Makes
Organic

Close (but ultimately straightforward) and reasonably above average day.

Xanadu is neat but I still find its loop an unfortunately unengaging aspect (not the nature of it so much as just "actually i just don't think the start of the song fits"). And apologies to [charge cycles composer] but Ulka still just doesn't engage me enough to capitalise, even if it's still cool in its own right.

Cybersheep's Dream is a pretty alright megaman song, but I guess I haven't been terribly big on the broad style for a while. Ancient Makes is solid.

I didn't expect to like Organic as much as I do, it's aged better than it has any right to. Sorry Arrow Maze, which was also really solid and good.

Sonic Drift games are ok

Might get RemiLore and Touhou 17 on steam

Interested in Utawarerumono Zan but no ps4

AI: The Somnium Files

Oh yeah and Aokana

Earthlight
Wind Scene
Cradle

WB match is extremely extremely good

Golden Fortress was definitely my favourite of Dandara's lower set, not Menace. Wind Scene is probably my favourite of CT's set in general (albeit mainly because I'm super iffy on it and don't care for most of the popular picks all that much. Wind Scene's barely in my top 10). Still vaguely close but CT has the edge.

Cradle v good. Cadence is not my thing.

i'm not sure how rby can even have (non-accidental) votes at all when gsc kanto exists

Green-Eyed Jealousy
Lost in thoughts all alone (EN)
CIGNITA

I'm pretty sure i sided with the s-11 track of last round, right? it was the touhou one i flipped on iirc. Yeah so, i can't recall if i said it then but it was distinctly because of CT's weakness than an actual like for S-11's sound. Bern Jungle is like a 5 at best just like the rest of the ost. Green-Eyed Jealousy on the other hand is one of the specifically 4 (5 counting alt) songs on the setlist for SA I approve of. It's probably only my 4/5th favourite on it but there's a gap there that makes this a very easy decision here.

Predictably one-sided second match

I spent a fair bit of time mulling over this snubs match when doing predix. Dear Friend on All Planet is... basically a trademark supersweep pop ending theme but with with extra beeps that make it cool and stuff like "nice". So what I'm saying is i like it a lot because it's like things i like but more unique. But then CIGNITA exists and is also unexpectedly something i dig a ton. I ended up barely sidding with giftpia after listening to the alts to tiebreak, siding with arkanoid there, and then going "oh wait i think i preferred cignita barely oops". So... i kind of am glad the results seem to be pointing the direction they are because i guess I prefer arkanoid's set in general but cignita specifically is strong to me. Or something like that idk. i hope nobody treats what i say with credibility because i just ramble

Obviously the answer is XD's (i kid)

RSE > HGSS Johto > GSC Kanto > HGSS Kanto > DPP > Smash GS > RSE > SM > GSC Johto Night/Day > BW Strong > Smash XY > BW2 > FRLG > ORAS > BW Regular > XY > SM > USUM > RGBY > Smash DPP > XD

Totem would be high if i counted it but that feels unfair. Also jeez i forgot how many of them were in smash

like that's the thing, i don't think many people disliked it, but a lot of things seemed to prevent people from taking it. there were a lot of excuses to not do so, really
