Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 14, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

WotW(J) >>> Mysterious Trap = Classroom > EXEC_PAJA

WotW is nice and very soothing, which is better than the rest here by a significant margin.

EXEC_PAJA/.#Orica extracting.
Classroom

First match is extremely close, like basically the closest possible a match can be for me. I may return to it to change my vote to the other with more deliberation on a decision between the two later. On my current "rating of every song ever (very incomplete)" spreadsheet, these two tracks are literally right next to each other in total score/ranking, orica only beating mysterious trap by 0.0025 in ratings out of 10. So, yeah, insanely close despite how i may have ranked them in my ranking of the contest entrants.

2nd match isn't close but Weight of the World is still one of my favorite songs I have listened to today >_> absurdly good day.

Weight of the World >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Classroom >>>>> Mysterious Trap >>>>>>>> EXEC_PAJA

Mysterious Trap really isn't that good, but easily gets my vote here. Honestly, Classroom's not great either. Weight of the World is freaking awesome though.

Weight of the World (Japanese) > Classroom > EXEC_PAJA/.#Orica extracting. >> Mysterious Trap

Pretty close between PAJA and Classroom. Mainly because I'm getting more used to PAJA.
