This is going to be my first time listening to Bat Out of Hell. I love Paradise by the Dashboard Light, but haven't really familiarized too much with any of the other tracks from the album. I probably won't write anything while listening because I feel like that distracts me when listening to albums I haven't heard before and I doubt I'll find the time to listen to this twice.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light
Bat Out of Hell
Two Out of Three Ain't Bad
For Crying Out Loud
You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)
All Revved Up with No Place to Go
Heaven Can Wait

This was a fun album. Paradise by the Dashboard Light is and always will be the headliner. It's truly one of the best and most timeless songs to ever be written and performed. The baseball broadcast is often the most notable part, but the song becomes legendary as soon as we exit the broadcast. It's such a wild ride. I greatly enjoyed the top four songs in my rankings. Bat Out of Hell was a very fun opener. For Crying Out Loud was a fantastic ballad to end the album with. I could see myself playing it again on a whim during a lazy weekend day or on an especially long drive.

Hat Kid is a girl

So she is! I've only ever glimpsed at the character model and just assumed boy. My bad and I will be sure to not make this mistake again.

Here's how Round 2 will be set up:

The groups from Round 1 will be paired up randomly. The characters in the opposing group will be matched up in 1v1 matches based on Round 1 finish. 2nd place will face 7th place, 3 vs 6, and 4 vs 5. Characters that won their group in Round 1 have earned a bye and automatic qualification for Round 3.

I'll begin doing a live draw in the contests tab in the Board 8 discord shortly after this post. Feel free to pop in and watch the matchups as they come out. After the draw, I'll post the matches here. Round 2 will start this weekend--probably tomorrow at the usual start time.

Here are some "awards" I slapped together during this past hour waiting for Round 1 to end. These pretty much purely stats based. People can come up with their own subjective opinions like Biggest Surprise (Dr. Eggman just now imo) and whatnot.

Round 1 Awards:

Best Performance: Miles Edgeworth
--Edgeworth had a 100% positive vote percentage. He was one of only two charactesr to achieve that mark with the other being, fittingly, Phoenix Wright. What sets them apart is that Edgeworth received 46 point while Phoenix Wright only earned 32.

Most +3 Votes: Miles Edgeworth, Kirby, and Luigi
--Each of these competitors garnered nine +3 votes. Kirby pulled off the feat with the least amount of total votes cast in his group with 26. However, Edgeworth was right behind him with 27 total votes cast in his group.

Most -3 Votes: Talion
--Talion was the obvious weak link in a tough group and became a minus magnet because of it. He ended the round having received 13 votes of -3. However, it could've easily been Zola in this spot had her group seen high vote totals. Talion achieved 13 last place votes in 33 total votes cast. Zola had 12 last place votes in only 28 votes cast.

Most Voter Indifference: Ramza Beoulve and Dante
--These two characters received the lowest absolute point value which combines the points received whether they be positive or negative. Both characters had a score of 15. Logically a lower vote total would lead to a lower absolute score, and that is the case with these two characters. Ramza and Dante's groups had 27 and 26 total votes cast in their groups respectively. Heihachi Mishima had the lowest absolute point total from groups that had over 30 total votes cast. He finished with 20 absolute points from 31 votes cast. If you want to base indifference based on percentage appearance on a ballot within their group, The Prince of Persia is your most indifference character. He appeared on only 9 out of 29 ballots cast in his group which is good for a ~31% rate.

How did the group headliners do?
--Overall, characters that came into Round 1 headlining their own group finished first in 8/20 groups. Best performance of them is Miles Edgeworth as detailed above. Hat Kid and Goro Majima both finished 5th in their group and can be debated on which was most disappointing. Hat Kid earned her headliner status solely through nominations while I had to assign Majima as a headliner to round off Round 1. Hat Kid's group was very evenly split with only 5 points separating her from 1st place. Majima's was similar with 8 points separating him from the 1st place position.

Sonic is eliminated while Dr. Eggman won his division. How bizarre.

Oh. I guess I have no choice but to wait for Azure now. Fair enough. Congrats to the Geofront people.

The announcements that leaked on Epic happened. That's super neat.

Before the final vote was cast, Gordon Freeman and Vectorman were tied and Gordon would've been eliminated by a 2% positive vote margin. That would've been very fitting, I think.
