WHAT

End of the Raging Waves was getting destroyed at the start of that poll. And it then somehow won... HALLELUJAH! (sorry, it's one of my favorites, even if it's "not engaging")

Day 34 - https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/77681079

Results, day 33:
https://imgur.com/7exXjuv

Haha, what? Did I mess up somewhere in here? Surely, that's...okay, nope, that just happened.

Servants of the Scourge > Challenge To The Vertex, 40-9
Id (Purpose) > Dornwald ~Junge~, 26-23
New World Order > Full Base, 25-24

For reference, in a tiebreaker, I will cancel my own vote rather than force double OT. I wasn't looking forward to doing that here, and it almost proved necessary.

Oh, and yesterday's trivia -

Wow, what a blowout! And to think that CttV annihilated TBIYTC last round. SotS looks like a good contender for the championship right now. How unfortunatethis is for Id ~ Purpose. It sucks to see Dornwald ~Junge~go down, but we all know by now that complex music rarely makes it far in these contests....

I don't think CttV gets blown out that badly against another song with similar strength to Servants of the Scourge. I think that was a match-up coverage, plain and simple. Because if you're looking at the x-stats right now, you're assuming that either TBIYTC is the weakest song in the field by far or that SotS is going to wombo combo every opponent in its path, and I really don't think either of those things is remotely close to being true.

Nah, it probably loses worse. You'd have some crossover votes from IHTBTW -> Desire Blue Sky like me, but I suspect it'd be a net loss overall. Not terribly so, but I'd expect a worse performance. It's why I was so mad about the placement!

You did good, Blue Skies. Given how it ate shit in R1 of the snubs bracket last year I wasn't sure it actually deserved a bye, and when I saw its placement, I expected it to get really ugly. Like, the numbers blackstarlight put on Lifelight kind of ugly. But it actually held its own, even with a mixed reception, and I'm glad for that. Sure, it didn't win, but still.

Also speaking of the snubs last year, reminder that this exists

Same as what I got. I actually had my count done yesterday as well but I was in the middle of talking myself into one of the more ridiculous, albeit minor, panic attacks at the time so I both wasn't really in a state to be posting or to double-check the count to make sure the tie was in fact a tie.

Two masterpieces down. But at least Murderswarm lost to something good, so it could be a worse day. Shonen winning was obviously wishful thinking, so not much of a loss there, I guess.

Time for a little poll: Who do you expect to make the Final Four in bracket A, and how will it go from there?

I will guess....
DuckTales Remastered - Mt. Vesuvius
Kirby's Air Ride - Machine Passage
Persona 5 - Life Will Change
Blue Reflection - DNF FW15C

LIfe will Change > Vesuvius for the final. Maaaaaaybe.

I'd predict Sad Blue Skies to win.

Unsure which I'd prefer. They're both pretty good songs that fall short of greatness for me. If you ask me right now I'd probably say Gokinjo, but really I'd just have to listen to both in a row in order to decide.
