Support: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

imo Melee needed Fountain of Dreams and to a lesser extent, Battlefield, but it's hard to go wrong

Way too late! I would have certainly put in Battlefield given there was a second request for it....

It's coming right down to the wire!

NEW SUPPORTS
Mega Man 10
Zakuzaku Actors
Radical Dreamers Nusumenai Houseki - never heard this OST before. But given it's influence on CC, I'd like to see this one in the contest.
Etrian Odyssey IV
Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure
YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World
Pharaoh Rebirth+
Kirby's Return to Dream Land

And I think I've hit every single OST now. Finally.

Support Votes:
Fez
Phantasy Star Online
DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu Black Label

-Fez: This setlist is amazing. It feels grand and wondrous. Why did I hesitate on this on the first pass?

-Phantasy Star Online: I feel like there's probably at least three entirely disjoint setlists you can make from the PSO soundtrack that I'd at least consider supporting. And that's just from the first game!

-DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu Black Label: I remember I ran into Desperado once a while back and thinking I liked it and considered nominating it for VGMC. Years later and I still like it! (and the rest of the set too. I did not, eventually, nominate it-- I didn't think it would be liked much by the crowd. Shoulda done it anyway! But I was a lot more hesitant about this kind of thing at the time.)

Looking at some on-the-line noms, here are some supports
Gravity Rush
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game
Fez

Atelier Rorona
Cadence of Hyrule

Support Votes:
Dariusburst
YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World
Hypnospace Outlaw

-Dariusburst: Based on what I've heard of it so far I think I like the entire photoconductivity suite. Like, the whole thing.

-YU-NO: Activation!! Also a set with a number of quieter, pensive pieces that appeal to me in a particular way.

-Hypnospace Outlaw: I can admit it now-- when I first heard Ready to Shave I was a bit dismissive about it, like 'haha it's a silly song'. My opinion of it has changed over time, and listening to this setlist gives me even more conviction-- as irreverent as the content can be, Hypnospace Outlaw's music is really interesting and enjoyable. So now I can stand here and declare-- I am kaonashi, and I am ready to shave.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Every game that received at least 7 votes except for one (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) made it in. Do not fret if your favorite nomination/support is not in however!! The possibility of some sort of snubs bracket is highly likely, and I'll be able to speak more about that once the field is finalized.

If you notice anything incorrect about your nominations/supports, please ping me here and I'll correct them.

Any further updates will be posted in the general Pre-Contest thread, so be sure to check there again! (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/77845973?page=18)

Thank you so much for everyone that nominated, listened, and supported!

i am exactly one person

Only one out of five, huh.... Luckily, Pokemon DPP got in, which was the one I was most passionate about. But hey, my last minute support of MM10 turned out to be useful. At least we have one Mega Man OST, though it wasn't my first choice. But it sucks that Smash Ultimate was the one seven-nom to make it in... hey, could we have a play-in match or something? >_> EDIT: I'll take a side bracket for sure.

I'm #1 for SV's, both for the total and the number that made it in! Aw, yeah.

Deltarune I just nominated for the people.

I think my XCX nomination bubbled out at 6 SV. RIP

Guess it's too soon to migrate to the discussion thread, so here's a breakdown of bracket distribution by actual day nominated (no make-ups, and day 8 merged into day 7 due to lack of samples):

Bracket entries
Day 1: 10
Day 2: 9
Day 3: 12
Day 4: 8
Day 5: 8
Day 6: 7
Day 7: 10

Average SVs
Day 1: 6.28
Day 2: 5.32
Day 3: 6.87
Day 4: 5.15
Day 5: 5.82
Day 6: 5.5
Day 7: 5.88

Much nicer distribution than I would've thought; looks like everyone did a good job of giving every nomination up to the last day a chance!

Stats stats stats stats!

If I hadn't stepped in with my pity vote (it was nothing more than a pity vote), Patapon 3 would have been the only one to not get an SV....how sad. :[

banshiryuu is officially my Best OST buddy for supporting four of my five noms! TYTYTY. His supports amounted to a whopping 15.4% of all my total supports! My worst enemy is officially pyresword for making a whopping 40 supports but not supporting any of mine. Grrrrrr....!

What user did I support the most nominations for....? It is...*surprise surprise*.... banshiryuu! I supported 5 of his 7. Wait, there's more, actually... I supported 5 nominations for kaonashi1 and loweffortmemes! Hey, wait a minute...kaonashi1 didn't support any of mine. Looks like someone owes me some future favors! Two of those three users are in my top seven in terms of VGMC compatibility with me.

And what users did I not support any nominations for...? Just two. Snake55555 (only three total nominations) and....ummm....azuarc. Oh noes. Quick, hide! Oh, AND it turns out Baconus_Yum would have been in the same boat as azuarc without that pity SV, haha. The FUNNY thing about that is that azuarc and Baconus_Yum are VGMC buddies!

Okay, I'm finished annoying everybody. But I will probably have more stats tomorrow, heheh, (this time not pertaining to myself) Propers for lem for tackling this huge project and somehow finding time to make nominations and listen to all the music.

Edit: Very interesting stats, P0. You too, MC.

I wasn't the one that took on this project. That would be banshiryuu/deogenerate! Unless I'm misinterpreting what you're saying. Anyway, I guess I should thank you for supporting a lot of my nominations! Looks like I didn't end up supporting any of yours, but I definitely would've supported Pokemon DPP if I wasn't so heavily focused on listening to the nominations that hadn't made the cut yet. Still, sorry I couldn't reciprocate all that support!

I said this in the Discord but there were I think 11 or 12 users who I didn't support any of their noms, and 8 for whom I supported 3 or more.

Not sure if it was similar for other people but my supports were very clustered.
---

Ah okay that does make me feel better, pyre! I don't do Discord. Yeah, I meant bans, not you lem. However props to you and others for being so heavily involved too!

---

*checks*

Yeah, more or less the same for me

I paid very little attention to who nommed what and even less to the positions of anything i liked. I can't say i feel guilty for taking that approach, but it is unfortunate.

What pity SV? I supported 3 of his games, representing 20% of the supports on his games.

I recommend standing behind Mycro.

Same here, actually. It was time-consuming enough just to listen to the music, let alone try to strategically place my SV's. I didn't even intend to have the most SV's of anybody.... I just supported whatever I felt like supporting....

What pity SV? I supported 3 of his games, representing 20% of the supports on his games.

I was just saying that you and Bacon were in the same boat in terms of my lack of supports for both of your nominations, except my pity SV for Patapon 3 (which I found amusing).

Team Rocket Elite - 17 (3 noms - adjusted = 40)

JONALEON1 - 9 (2 noms; adjusted = 32)
Hannyabal - 7 (1 nom; adjusted = 49)
Snake5555555555 - 6 (3 noms - adjusted = 14)

My terrible performance was expected. I don't know as many OSTs as most, plus I've played very few games released in the past 10 years. I'm content with getting my preferred nomination in the contest.
