ELIMINATION THIRTY-TWO

?) Mr_Lasastryke (Average placement: 110.5)

you went quite across the board from low-to-high here, but with enough heavy hitters to still have a pretty high average.

we have always gotten along music-wise fairly well since we've known each other in this community, which has been since pretty early. BUT that was usually for broader reasons like non-vgm genres we mutually enjoy like fusion and prog and all that.

when it comes to our actual VGM tastes specifically, it's actually a bit different, since we look for different things in that category to a degree. and you also openly said that you didn't actually try to tailor toward my tastes as particularly as you could've. given that you weren't actually aiming high, it's neat that there's still enough underlying overlap in what we look for that you could manage this high up. in some ways that you weren't even expecting!!

there are obvious parallels of course;

-Stewart Copeland represents are high prioritization of how much we respect and enjoy the playing (and composing!) styles of specific live drummers.

-klonoa tune honestly sounds like if allan holdsworth was trying to write a lullaby

-the kirby pick was your "pat metheny" one

the list goes on, the things we seek in non-vgm DO bleed into the vgm we like as well! not always as directly as things like guitarfreaks trying to directly imitate dave weckl or whatever. but i can still tell that the person who picked these songs is the same person who ran a whole topic series about frank zappa and got in lengthy talks about fusion drummers with me in the past and all that. and also always liked when i nommed jazz fusion rhythm game songs...

thanks for the submissions, i'm glad i could see /you/ in it, when i'm used to thinking of you based on what your non-vgm taste is, your personality and flavor still shined distinctly here!
