VOTING RULES

- Each match will be between the songs representing each game, not the game as a whole. Please remember to listen and vote with this in mind! Any votes referring to a game name rather than a song name will not be counted. You have been warned!
- Listen to both songs!! If one is your literal favorite song in the world and the other is something you hate with a passion, listen to them both!!
- No alts, no rallying, no begging for something to get more votes, etc., etc., you know the drill.
- If you change your mind and would like to swap your vote, you may do so. As soon as it is 24 hours since the match topic was started, you may not change your vote and new votes will not be counted.
- If you would like to vote in advance for matches you know you will miss, please let me know in the discussion topic.

Suburbs
Believe It!!

NO

gaur plains is good as hell but suburbs is a straight up jam to my ear drums and actually i think i'd vote all three aghr songs over gaur plains, but also none of them over unfinished battle!!! (engage the enemy is not a song)

Training Room is actually the one song from these picks for Cerebrawl that caught my attention, it's actually alright. but uh hello unisuga banger?? yes this is the police you are under arrest for public indecency being this banger in public okay thank you

Blue Reflection - OVERDOSE
Xenoblade Chronicles - Gaur Plains - AGHR just has never been my thing... I always enjoy its music a lot at the start, but it's ultimately too much loud funkiness for me and it becomes grating, which is a shame since there are good harmonies and note choices going on. (how many more rounds will I have to endure this torture?)

Suburbs
Believe It!!

match 1: possibly the weakest Dodon Pachirisu song for me so far but that's not saying much because I loved the 3 previous songs and so this song is still good and so is the opponent over does. Kind of a tricky match, both have strengths over the other. Ultimately what it came down to me were those dang strings in overdose. really don't like 'em

match 2: gaur plains is plains ong, very average for me. it's ok. nothing more to say. Whereas AGHR is still a soundtrack I really love and Suburbs is my 2nd favorite track. Very "cool" nightish theme to start and then wow we get to :35 haha I Love this section so much. That one SOUND out in front demanding attention and leading the song in a strong different mood while wild things go on behind it like that keyboard synth type sound going along those quick paths of sequentially fluttering notes, And then the section just kinda keeps on going for a bit !! sadly this fun section is not in the "2nd looping" of the song where it's replace with a calmer interlude but oh well it's a very good song I love it.

match 3: training room is neat but total distortion setup wore it better. better believe it

OVERDOSE
Gaur Plains
Believe It!!

Feel like Vertex is the weakest DDP song so far. Doesn't have what made the others great. Overdose is very good. Maybe my second favorite BR track.

Gaur Plains is quite good, but never managed to make it as one of my favs. I feel like Mor Ardain and Gormott from XB2 do sorta similar things but more interestingly. Suburbs kinda gets better as it goes despite being repetitive. Really sinks its hooks in. I don't like it enough at the start for it to reach truly good territory though.

I believe this is some epic battle music, and I love epic battle music. Great guitar. Training Room is just the type of song I hate.

For a day that's been hyped up by a bunch of people this was a fairly underwhelming day for me. Maybe I've just been listening to too many bangers today that these don't feel special but idk. I think all of the ones in the main bracket are decent, I mostly just ended up preferring the more unique-feeling ones. Believe It!! I kinda like a lot but kinda also bores me at times too, really hard to attach a rating to that one. Training Room is again a lot more unique, and I kinda dig the feel but man it gets a bit too repetitive.

MATCH 1

Vertex, where were you when it was this game vs. Ar nosurge?!? Probably blocked off from being able to be an opponent, but the point is that I wouldn't have had to vote against Color-Carrying Wind if it was against Vertex. Anyway, onto the actual match, Vertex, despite being higher up in the setlist, is actually the weaket song I've heard from this game so far. It's good, but it's just kinda "there" compared to the other songs.

I love Overdose a ton! For sure my favorite Blue Reflection song out of the ones I've listened to so far. Just a really great upbeat, happy song. These types of songs from Gust games are ones that I tend to really like.
