Same as Raiden, I also voted in a few of these the last couple weeks so thought that rule didn't apply (though somehow I missed the whole series before the last few - wish I'd seen it earlier). But yes, I listened to both songs/hi deo

I figured that was probably it, I did mean to have it encompass a little more than literal first vote and didnt realize my wording was just bad lol, but I had your vote counted anyway. Probably should've just let it go in the first place but thanks for responding anyway!!

oops added a match 3 i forgot i was gonna do

Somehow once again this year we're ending the contest on a perfect 100 days!! Wooo!!! 100 days of hype, heartbreak, and a whole lot of surprises. We had a lot of people join us for pretty much the whole dang contest, which I cannot stress enough how thankful I am for each and every one of you! Anyone that voted and participated and made this contest into the success I feel like it has turned out to be, you're the real rockstars of the contest. Oh, duh, and my wonderful co-host Toxtricity!! Watching the magic happen of the bracket coming together is a true delight that I wish you all could see~

Passing through the Forest and Aquatic Ambiance both were highly vetted entrants coming into the competition. Passing made a run to Round 4 just three years ago in VGMC13, having taken down PMD2 Dialga before a rather close loss to retiree Skyclad Observer. Meanwhile, Aquatic Ambiance has been missing from contests since VGMC6, having won at least a match in every contest except its absence in VGMC2. It gave tough battles to the likes of Fighting of the Spirit, Godsibb, and Gerudo Valley, and had an unfortunate run-in with VGMC4's champion Hope. But here we are now, in VGMC16. Who will prevail? The land or the sea? The new discovery or the old classic? The man or the monkey??!?

The answer is... your VGMC16 champion with a nailbiting score of 34 over the opponent's 33 is....

With three entries still in the game at Round 4's beginning, I think it was pretty safe to say the Year of Todd Baker was coming true, it just came down to which of the options made it deep. The answer to that question is now answered, as The Lost City is your Bracket D champion!!

That means our second semifinal to decide who makes the finals is Aquatic Ambiance vs The Lost City!
