Is there a top 64 bracket this year? Predictions for that were always less popular, but it also gave a better impression of what happened in the final rounds than looking at four separate quadrants on bracketmaker.

Yup there will be, once we actually get the top 64 figured out thanks to the last-minute tiebreaker lol

+10 Luigi (Super Mario Bros.)
+9 Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)

Day 60: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79555372

something something unfinished business in round 1 something something SimCity 3000 - Sim Broadway with an absolutely crushing win in the poll, which is somewhat unsurprising cause quite a few people were very vocal about it!!

Some of these 8-way loser polls are ridiculous. Who thought these were a good idea? It sure is a good thing they don't influence the main bracket in any meaningful way. I hope no host ever does that some year.

Sidenote: Is will/want coming after this?

it was definitely a "we need something to pad stuff out cause im running out of poll ideas and its taking me to long to make them some days" lol

we were probably gonna continue it somehow just for fun but if people dislike it we can also just stop, and also may just leave it at r1 stuff lol. will/want will definitely get slipped in there somewhere!

- 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!)

- 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.
