A little late, but I thought I'd do a little poll: What are your five favorite Round 1 losers?

(I have it narrowed down to ten, but I'm off to bed and will whittle it down to five tomorrow)

Daughter of the Dark God

Windy Fairy obviously since it was my nom but I really liked Marion and DotDG in particular too.

Hmm, I haven't given too much thought into this, but here's what I'd say my top 5 round 1 losers are for now:

Rose Guns Days - linkage-alter
Star Shooter - Extra Boss
Rewrite - Scene Shifts There
Spindizzy II - Nice Day
Thunder Force IV - The Sky Line

Some honorable mentions as well in no particular order: Battle of Marion, Desire Blue Sky, Bomber Girl

There are definitely other round 1 losers that I liked quite a bit, but these are just the ones that stand out in my mind the most based on scanning the bracket and giving some quick re-listens.

Sorry, Mycro, for previously insulting what was presumably one of your noms (Electric Tunnels) by saying it shouldn't have been in the contest. I've repented of that, as the next time I listened it suddenly sounded really good!

Memes, I like your picks! They align with my own favorite losers really closely. DragonImps, I'm a little disappointed that we don't match so well given you're my top VGMC buddy so far this contest, but I actually do like four of your five picks, which are quite unconventional! (but I don't like them a LOT except for 90G Race, sorry)

I would say these are my top five:
Rewrite - Scene Shifts There
Rose Guns Days - Linkage-alter (this is probably my #1)
Spindizzy II - Nice Day
Gravity Rush - Downtown
Stella Glow - Dark Labyrinth

Apparently I'm the only one who loves Downtown, well except that Mycro loves a different Downtown....

Honorable mentions:
Choro Q3 - In Summer The Night
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Divine Beast Vah Ruta (Dungeon)
REFLEC colette - Windy Fairy
Caravan Stories - Laurara's Dance

Even though I could do another 20 honorable mentions, I think I'll stop there....

Best songs that lost round 1

Scene Shifts There
Tristram

The Alchemist's Haven
Fly Octo Fly

The first 2 are probably top 5 in the contest, and the rest aren't far behind.

except it's 64.

1. Kenhull Badlands
2. Everything's Alright
3. Galaxy of Friendship
4. Tristram
5. I dunno...Icarus? TBIYTC?

There's probably something I unexpectedly liked, and then forgot about completely. The first four were the most noteworthy, though. There wasn't much in round 1 I actually liked, TBH. My list for winning songs that I especially liked would only have added another 7.

This is the most saddening result of the contest yet.

This is pretty much my case. Even having listened to every song in the contest so far, I can hardly pinpoint even three of them above the rest (not that there aren't, it's just that if I were to do a ranking like for example Mycro did, it would be so much easier).

The ones that I truly felt like a loss are already out: Fury Sparks and The Dance of the Spheares, but that's Round 2. Other than that the JP vocal song that caused controversy a few days ago gets my strongest vote, followed probably by Desire Blue Sky.

Aw man, you put the work into that spreadsheet but were not even best buds D: I also dont say all that much around here, so that cant be fun. I like all the tracks you mentioned, but I think the only ones that might make it to my top 10 loosers list would be Linkage, Vah Ruta, and Laurara.

It's crushing to see Ultimate Experience lose. Another Mycro masterpiece down the tubes. But at least one of my vote changes made a difference! (the third match)

Oh, yeah, but my theory tells me Full Base is going to beat New World Order in the tiebreaker. Oh, well.
