Topic	[VGMC] Day 85! resureplayer v Speartip, Danger v Bahram Attack + Tiebreaker
Toxtricity 08/02/21 10:50:13 PM #15:	Speartip of Judgment Bahram Attack -Nekomata Master Remix- Chrono Trigger match 1 is incredibly difficult and i actually have to think about "which track do i like more" carefully, rather than just "which track do i wanna see win. there's like, so much umineko (and zts's big epic trance songs in this style specifically) already retired, it's familiar, maybe too familiar to be excited to see advance ever again. and speartip is watson who is NEW and COOL and i'm excited to see repped in the contest because i love his stuff consistently and speartip is a standout!!. but do i actually prefer it to resreplayer of all songs? i...don't know?! it's too hard!!!!!! aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh how do i vote in this match fairly without the bias of ]exciting new development[ skewing my perception? (the answer is yes i do genuinely prefer speartip, but barely. the polymeter in rr and its brilliant floaty chord changes at some key moments move me in really cool ways, the sound design is cool as it always with in zts stuff for me. but in the end speartip is a more faithful merge of elements i seek to find together. this contest has tested my worldenddominator alliance though, i'll say that. every time i re-listen to resurrectedreplayer i think it comes closer to worldenddominator in my umineko rankings and now i think it might beat it?! anyway resurrectedreplayer appeals to me in a way more akin to my mid-2010s or so taste which was heavily about "how complex is the song". speartip appeals to my current tastes which are more about "what environment does this song take me to? what emotions does this song evoke to me?", and although i still speak in technical theory terms or lean on pointing out production details when i talk about stuff because thats just how i talk.....i'm definitely more focused on like "emotionally moving chord change-melody interactions" than i am "wHOA COOL MATH" even if i like cool math puzzles in music too. but like i like the polymeter in resurrected replayer these days for different reasons than i would've in the past. i like it not because it's 'complex' but because it's "trippy", but...speartip is even more trippy in different ways? those ways are just more strange sound design choices/etc rather than elements of the composition. speartip is less """cerebral""" and analyzable because of that but just as cool, maybe even more cool because of that?! anyways this match i know my preference on, but it is close and i COULD flip upon a relisten. i'm pretty sure i would have gone for resurrected replayer in the majority of years i participated in vgmc, but recent changes in how i perceive music make speartip more favorable to me these days) --- time <cite>Toxtricity posted [p:956720656] in [VGMC] Day...
