Reach For The Moon, baby

Wow, Reach For The Moon is beasting this year. Maybe this is the year!
---

A bit late, but...

Want:

Bracket A
TIGAR (All Phase Mix)
Douwa Kairou
Chloe
Revenger

Bracket B
1NF3S+@+!0N
Skyclad Observer
New World Order
A-to-Z

Didn't really give this too much thought, but most of these are ones I'm certain of. Douwa Kairou, Revenger, and Skyclad Observer are tossups.

I'll be voting for it until it retires unless it goes against Chocolate Missile!

With their fingers entwined. < steelchambers2, 19-23

For such a close call among these two songs, I'm glad at least the difference was big enough because I was so torn between both.

Reach for the Moon vs. Sad Blue Skies is going to be one hell of a Round 3 match

Man.... why does my compatibility with my top VGMC buddies have to keep dropping?!

Case in point: kaonashi and akkrillic are currently my two best buddies as of a couple of days ago. The day after, kaonashi votes exactly the opposite of me. The day after that, akkrillic votes exactly the opposite of me. In a few days, I probably won't have ANY one with a compatibility above 60%. =P

RIP Ryoshima Coast. I guess next contest I'll have to nominate the version that's considered "better" and hope for the best.

Hmm, I cant remember the last time a song I voted for won..LOL

Oh no...

I got a similar feeling as when your beloved football team scores a goal and the other one ties it up. Time to flip the scoreboard again.

If it helps, I feel like I have a downright abysmal record in tiebreaker matches (I'd have to actually check to see if that's empirically backed up and I'm not doing that lol). So that's in your favor. I like Toccata so it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for me at least.

The two matches I really cared about lost and the one I didn't care about was a tie and now I have to vote in it again.

I went 1 for 2 on matches I cared about, though if I had to go 1 for 2, I'd rather have won the one I did because it featured the clear worst of the six songs in the day losing. Not that Neverending Journey was bad; just clearly behind the other five.
---

Wow. I think I actually missed both of RFTMIS's matches, and I didn't realize how badly it's been crushing its opposition. Never thought I'd see the day where Touhou > Umineko in VGMC.

I'd say that it's yet another example of B8 suddenly getting good taste, but to be honest, RFTMIS is a mid- to low-tier Touhou song for me! I'd put it behind probably close to half of the soundtrack to the game it's from, and 80-90% of the soundtracks of the two main-line games that preceded it.

Can't really say I'd agree with that, IN is probably the best soundtrack (alongside SA), and PoFV is sort of a low point

But PoFV was after IN

I agree that it's still better than the two before it but still

Unbelievable that the most generic track in the contest (and would likely be my 191st favorite track if I ranked them all) has made round three.

I live to see another round!

Yes, I'm cheating to deny these matches the x-stats they should have had.

PoFV is mostly remixes of tracks from earlier games. Though it does have some pretty good originals.
