azuarc 10/04/11 11:18:00 PM #107:	i don't see how anyone could begin to predict a 448 song double elimination tournament I did mine today -- winner's bracket only, mind you. Took a little while, but it wasn't really hard. Except when there was a tough match, because there were severe ramifications for each choice you made. Like, let's say you're picking in an 8 vs 9 match in round 1. You could go either way. You pick the 8 seed. However, in round 2, the 8 seed has a terrible song and the 9 seed would have had a really good song. The winner there faces the 1 seed, who is trying to save their better material for later, so their round 2 song is not at strong as it will be later. Thus, if the 9 seed would have won, it might have taken out that 1 seed. The 8 seed would fall flat. And that 1 seed would have gone on to crush the 4 seed in round 3, except if the 9 seed breaks through and ousts it, the 4 seed will in turn crush it. So yeah, one small change early on can have a pretty dramatic Butterfly Effect. It's rather entertaining looking at the predictions made so far because absolutely none of them are similar. (Except that you can tell very clearly who's a Touhou fanboy.) Either way, I've never used bracketmaker to... you know... make brackets, so I don't really know how would that go, and even LESS in a bracket involving VGMusic (...though I seriously hope that Curse of Darkness upsets DKC2 even with a 16 seed) Not that big a deal. Make an account. Click on the link for the winner's bracket and select Predict It. It will ask you who you want to win each match, using radio buttons. And I picked CoD over DKC2 (and another three rounds thereafter,) although I seem to be alone in that regard. Everyone else seems to like Forest Interlude. SoM is going to lose in the first round. It was insanely weak in VGMC5. You also have to ask "which songs were in VGMC5?" Granted, the round 1 song, Angel's Fear, was there, but so was Danger, which I voted against with extreme prejudice and I'm probably the biggest SoM fan around. Besides, are you telling me you're in love with the Cave Story main theme by contrast? Also, don't use VGMC5 as a strict comparison yet. After all, EVERY Touhou entry was out by halfway through round 2. I have a funny feeling at least one of the 5 Touhou games will live to see round 3 here, and that's out of 6 rounds total rather than out of 8. As poorly as SoM may have done in VGMC5, that doesn't mean it will auto-bomb here. It seems like seeding is indeed a relevant factor (contrary to what I expected from a VGM contest), but in the wrong way... In the wrong way? You mean you think the 16 seeds are favored over the 1 seeds? I would generally disagree with that statement, however there could be some truth to it -- the top seeds are back-loading their songlist, hoping to be well stocked for the long haul. Mostly everyone else is hanging on as long as they can, so their lists are (or should be) frontloaded. It's possible we might see some really strong songs go out early, not because they have high seeds, but because they have high aspirations. This was a very elaborate way of saying bump. <cite>azuarc posted [p:415086] in Best OST C...

Besides, are you telling me you're in love with the Cave Story main theme by contrast? All I meant was I think Angel's Fear will lose to Cave Story's main theme, nothing about the rest of SoM.

From the little I've heard from the DKC2 soundtrack, none of it sounds particularly strong or engaging. It also comes down to 2 things: 1._Is Mortvia Aqueduct more liked than Mortvia Fountain? 2._Is Forest Interlude supposed to be a low-midcarder, or something more powerful than just that?

Welcome to another round of the Best OST Contest, where we decide the best game soundtrack by voting on the songs in it. Match Rules: * You must listen to both songs in the match.

Other details: * The match will last 24 hours from the time this thread is posted. Regardless of when the next day's topic goes up, or when the current topic actually gets counted and closed, votes count up to 24.0 hours after the match's beginning. * Normal contest rules apply regarding alts, rallying, multi-voting, etc. * No mid-thread tallies, or comments related to a vote count. It can influence the voters. Regardless of how excited you may be, please let things evolve naturally. * If there are two matches, you do not have to vote for both.

Haste_2 10/06/11 7:50:00 PM #121:	I'll post this from the Day 1 voting topic. What if, instead of making this a contest, we made this a "league" of sorts, with a season? That way -all- the games will be fully represented, and we won't have to worry about all this strategizing/ordering crap. Of course, this contest has started.

azuarc 10/10/11 7:08:00 PM #146:	We have at least the first four songs for T3. Quick synopsis of the nomination period for those who missed it: * Everyone was allowed to submit one nomination per day (for a week.) When they did, they also submitted the songlist. * Everyone reviewed the submissions thus far and the prerogative to "support" as many of the games as they liked. * At the end of day 7, we closed nominations. One day later, we cut off support voting. * The top 64 games got in. This happened to work out that all the five-vote games got in and none of the four-vote games. (And there were a LOT of four-vote games.) So what got support votes was determined by quite a few different factors -- how early it was nominated, how well-known it was, how determined people were to listen to everything they didn't recognize, how freely everyone gave out votes, whether those voters appreciated the particular songlist chosen for that game or not...in the end we had a field of 64. We maybe have an abundance of Touhou games, but besides that, I think the depth and variety of the field is rather remarkable. Like quite a few others, I nominated one game each day for a total of seven. Most of my games did not get in, so obviously I'm disappointed for a few of my favorite games, some of which did get that fenceline fourth vote, but I've enjoyed having the chance to check out a number of games I would have never otherwise considered or maybe even heard of. <cite>azuarc posted [p:415125] in Best OST C...
