Either way, this song came in at 26th place and is way too low... probably would wind up in 4th place if I re-ranked that topic. 9.Misoshita - Chikanikai no Resistance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqqiv6NbXaA Original Score: 9.3 Current Score: 10. Writeup: How did this only get 57th Place?! It was in 19th on the beta list, which feels like a more accurate placement. 10.Cryptovolans - Bleached Coral: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62xv3sx3spc Original Score: 10 Current Score: 10 Original Writeup: [Something about the early part of the song makes me feel like Im drowning... it gets harder to breathe and brings back a lot of negative memories. I can't downvote it because its a unique experience and I should treasure them, but its probably a bit too physically painful to reach the top tier of songs.] That seems to have summed it up pretty well. It's stressful and intense; which is good, but perhaps a bit too stressful to break into the 10s. [Final Thoughts: This is an interesting track. Usually my deep water phobia isn't severe enough to effect me, but something about this track was really intense on the first few listens. Now that I'm more adjusted to it, it doesn't hit quite so hard--which is probably a good thing. I can't find any words to describe the song itself, none that would mean anything at any rate.] The effect is a bit diminished these days since I've listened to it so many times, but it's still a great song. As for said negative memories... nah. Way too sensitive to post publicly and I don't want to dig out the pastebin password to hide a secret confession. Perhaps next full ranking topic. 11.Matchbox Twenty - Back 2 Good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X5Dr-uFVGw Original Score: 10 Current Score: 10.5 Writeup: I should take the chance to do more than revisit songs from the ranking topic, but I wanted to hear this right now, so nyah. , I could say so much But I don't go there 'cause I don't want to Seemed like an appropriate line for where I left off at the last writeup. ...okay, let's find something happier that's not from the last topic... 12.Beetlejuice the Musical - Barbara 2.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PhbcVIMAgs Current Score: 9 I had to listen to so many Broadway songs to find a full set of nominations for that Broadway Duets topic. I literally couldn't think of more than one song to nominate, so I spent the entire night hunting down duet playlists, lists of the best duets, and just randomly hunting any "[licensed property] the musical" I could find because I'm the type of person that loves those. I'm quite happy with this find! I've mentioned having a fondness for these types of lyrics about being one's true self and blah blah blah. The actual album is subpar, but I like this one specific song. 13.Superman (Arcade) - Main BGM 1 & 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdRORntgWfE Current Score: 5.2 Writeup: It's kinda amusing hearing this low quality, beep-y rendition of the iconic Superman theme. Also, I have a bit of a softspot for this arcade game... no idea why, but my mother and I actually played all the way through it at an arcade one day. No idea why; it's not a great game, neither of us were really Superman fans, and we must have spent a fortune feeding quarters into the damn machine... 14.Radical Rex (Sega CD) - Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq1fySmrE1s Current Score: 6. Writeup: I swear there was a version of this without the attract screen added, but finding it would take more time than it's worth. This song is so bad that it kinda loops around to being amusing. Not great, but it's usually worth a quick laugh. 15.Back to the Future Parts 2 & 3 - 1985 Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdLTAyd3Kg8 Current Score: 8 Writeup: I actually really like this little tune, but the last person I showed it to completely despised it, so I haven't nominated it anywhere. 16.Virtual Cat - Dancing With Cat: https://twitter.com/neko_vtuber/status/1227875636712095745 Current Score: 8 Writeup: Cheating to sneak in an actually relevant song, but I decided I wanted to listen to Virtual Cat as the last song of the night, so nyah. It's good. Rankings: Back 2 Good > Violet Hill > Bleached Coral > Acid Pickle Rick > Fake Happy > Chikanikai no Resistance > Barbara 2.0 > 1985 > Dancing With Cat > Pac-Land > My Real Cool Radical Rex > Aspiration > Spider-Man Genesis > Superman Arcade > We All Lift Together > Spare Time ...eh, maybe move Spider-Man up two spaces. Those three are pretty interchangable. --- MUGEN AI Tournament, open to everyone. participants needed:
