The Oxygen Plant, Pt. One
Floro Sapiens Caverns
Intro Part 1

First two matches are sort of no-brainers for me, I really like Ripple Dot Zero's OST as well as Super Paper Mario considering that one is my own nomination, so already those two songs are probably gonna be real high for me, and they're against two songs that focus on two elements I particularly do not care for -- Vocals & Orchestral high strings respectively. To be fair Super Sonic Racing has some nice digital synth stuff going on, and SinSFTT has an alright sort of mysterious air to it. But even if those two songs were not built with the parts I don't care for, my votes probably wouldn't change because the songs I'm voting for also do what I praise the others for but better.
(dang SSR is repetitive in a bad way and gosh I love TOPPO)
(And if you're thinking "hey hey, FSC uses high strings too," well they're like, "artificial" enough that they don't fall under my strong dislike of high strings. And also the weirdish atmosphere the rest of sounds gives makes the song overall even better)

Snubs match is a little more...notable. Specifically in that this is probably the lowest I've felt towards both songs in a match so far (sorry!). MM5 Intro, to me, just feels like some generic little NES tune whose only notable detail for me is that it's incredibly short. Honestly maybe that's a bit harsh, but my sort of distaste for NES chiptunes overall probably factors into my low opinion of that, but then Human Fall Flat Dont Leave basically only focuses on elements I actively dislike -- Very limited instrumentation of mostly just plain piano, + slight orchestral strings, and an inherently 'sad,' slow moody tone for the whole song. To be honest, DontLeave feels like the song that "deserves" to advance, but it's a type of song I strongly don't care for so while IntroPt1 just feels like a weak tune with nothing for me to really care about, it still gets my vote over probably my least favorite genre of music without vocals
