Most tragic early exit? (part 2)









Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 11, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

Side bracket playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW9O9mntH1RE35F2S4u6Ie8w1o0jHPKXB

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 you are not doing this, your vote may 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 isn’t up by then.
- 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!

Wow, none of those early exits are tragic in the slightest. Nice job B8.


Monolith
Flower
Dreams of Cobalt

Hanging Garden is too long and it's just okay. Monolith is amazing, possibly the best song in the bracket A. Lava Dome is really bad, and Flower is solid. Side Bracket actually has two really good songs though. Could go either way on this one, honestly. It's nice to have a debatable match in a good way sometimes.

Bonus match quite close could probably go either way but liked Dreams of Cobalt a bit more today.

as I said before, Hanging Garden is really two minutes long. I guess arguably about four because of the way it loops but still.

sorry I didn't have the time to upload it myself in a non-extended form. Really, I'm just glad it's on youtube at all.

Hanging Garden of Clockwork
Flower
Parting Shots

Solid first match. With the way Monolith was dominating the match, I was worried I was going to have to betray one of my noms for the second day in a row. Thankfully I didn't care for it as much as I felt I would early into it, though it is still decent.

Second match also pretty solid. Lava Dome's pretty alright as far as SNES action themes go, honestly. Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether I'd pick ANY such themes over Flower (thinking about it, I'd even pick it over a Lufia song). It's not too far off, but still not close enough to really be in question for me here.

Third match is really good stuff that I can really get behind. I ended up listening to both several times before deciding when I was working on my favourites bracket, and I ended up listening to both multiple times here too. Good songs in a good match.

Huh, neither of the songs in the first match really stood out to me when I was skimming through everything for my favorites bracket, but these are actually kinda good.

Great second match, Flower is a neat new discovery for this contest. Lava Dome is an old personal favorite though so it'll be hard to beat!

I've never actually been a fan of either of the songs in today's Masters Bracket match :-(

For better or for worse, these are all tricky choices for me.

Lava Dome > Flower > HGoC > Monolith > DoC > PS
