Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 13, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

.
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 your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will 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 isnt 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!

Aw, sorry Nanohemu. Flash Frost not exactly my first pick from Rorona, but I do like it a lot when squared against some of the other Epic Orchestra Two Steps From Hell 10 HOURS MIX (For Homework, Focus, Relaxation) songs that are still in the running. Another great day!

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair - Kill Command
Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland - Flash Frost


MATCH 1

Very easy match here. Kill Command is pretty good, but Nanohemu is only okay. Nanohemu's definitely the weakest song up today and is honestly a bit on the weak side out of all of the songs in the bracket that are still alive as well. There are definitely songs I like less that are still alive, but it's clear that I'm not really enthusiastic about the potential for Nanohemu to advance again here. My preference is very clearly for Kill Command.

MATCH 2

Now this is a very strong match! Very similar to Torna Battle vs. Knight of a Foreign Country from yesterday in terms of how much I like the two songs in the match. Both songs here are very much to my liking. This is a much closer match than match 1 is, but I'd say I like Flash Frost a bit more than Re:Vanishment. I'm strongly hoping for whichever song wins this match to retire. Both songs would be great retirees.

Kill Command
Flash Frost

Man, I hate that this first match is a match today. Both songs are in my top 10 of songs in round 3, or more specifically, somewhere in my range of #2-6 (and all 5 in that range are very close for me). Rather than seeing this as another form of "Either one that advances is good!!" sort of thing I can't help but see this as "One of these songs Will be eliminated and that sucks!" Been listening to both of these a bunch in preparation for this match and I guess over the time of this competition, Kill Command has grown on me more than Nanohemu has. But whichever song wins here better win this bracket !!!

34. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair - Kill Command (6) (for Honor Winds)

vs.

43. Dynamix - Nanohemu (5) (over Weight of a Doubt)

Kill Command would be fine if it was maybe half the length. It goes on too long without any variance. What's there is nice and kind of ominous, but the song could be much more. Nanohemu is also a song that doesn't quite live up to its potential - it's weird chiptune flourish, and that's normally my thing, but eh.

Voting against the numbers today.

and

59. Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland - Flash Frost (2) (for Pac Twin Attack)

vs.

36. 7th Dragon III: Code: VFD - Re:Vanishment (5.5) (for Nanmushis Theme)

Ugh, Flash Frost. This song is all the tropes I dislike about certain Atelier songs: it's saccharine, overly happy and wistful, and prominently uses stringed instruments. I really, really wish Pac Twin Attack was here. Re:Vanishment is catchy and I like the vocals.

Not the best day overall.

Seven minutes of this? Really? It's certainly not unlistenable, unlike other things that have reached a wide consensus of being "good" through means that I have never quite figured out (and no, I'm not talking about B8Taste for once, which is the only reason I'm not naming names--it's a rant for a different forum), but it's certainly not pleasant. It's the type of thing that I'd probably only vote for as an anti-vote to something else.

Nanohemu, on the other hand, is nice, and exactly the type of tune whose continued survival in this contest encourages me. I was very surprised to find that this obscure game was actually only from 2014; it sounded like a PC-98 tune. (Furthermore, Dynamix the game's only appearance on Wikipedia is as a redlink on the disambiguation page, but the "main" page that simply putting in the word "Dynamix" sends you to is a video game company.) To be honest, though, this still isn't great.

For some reason, even though this song is pretty good, I feel like there's an injustice in here somewhere and that the rightful retiree from this segment was already eliminated. I'm looking at the bracket, though, and nothing's standing out to me; must've been the other 7th Dragon tune. Though I think I have been on the losing end in most of these matches, including being on the receiving end of a blowout in R1 with Kill Command over Calamari Inkantation.

Yeah, definitely the other 7th Dragon song. Ugh, that's a painful one. That's the one where it seemed like everyone said they didn't care about it as much as the other matches that didn't end in ties; I changed my vote in the tiebreaker and wound up on the losing end. Though I'm angrier about its third round opponent not being Ryoshima Coast, angrierer that Yesterday's Opponents is still a potential fourth-round opponent for the winner of Distorted Happiness-Ignith of the Final Assault, and angrierest that even I have to concede that regardless of the winner of the first-round match, Yesterday's Opponents probably did deserve to win its R2 match because seriously that was an awful threepack.

Kill Command
Flash Frost


Even though I kind of know the majority of songs already, I still had to recur to my "listen to the top song first" policy again as I've been noticing since last round that sometimes I just listen to a song and then the next one I listen to sounds arguably better if I don't compare them directly, which is a very dangerous thing to do, especially if I'm in a rush or something.

Match 1:

Ever since I first knew what Danganronpa's premise and thematic was about, I was like "Oh no... Eugh...", so I actually feel bad for rooting for such a cool OST here. This is one of those exceptions where you can have a song with a rather same-sounding tone throughout for 7 minutes and not get sick of it. On the contrary, it stays on a same line of "good" from start to end... except for maybe the sax/trumpet parts where it sounds like they're kind of... just playing very lazily, and with such confidence... Either way, it manages to engage you since it has some subtle variety thrown in there, which is not an easy thing to do for such a long song. On the other hand, Nanohemu is a good experiment on chiptunes that reminds me of Shantae's battle music but better, getting better and better as time progresses; but other than that, it doesn't go beyond a cool experiment IMO.

Match 2:

Dear Flash Frost: Thank you for bringing me back some amazing memories from last year's contest, and 2018 in general. I think it's time for you to finally retire or else that magic will be inevitably diluted, and I don't want you to get behind on joining Laguerra del Mundo, BAaTH, and Dadadadadadadadadada (...wait, did you say Dadadadadadadadadada didn't retire last year? Oh, Dadadadadadadadadada was in the Side Bracket! Then it should be Dadadadadadadadadada's chance already!). I like everything about Flash Frost's making, but I really like the part starting at 0:52; it's the highest point of the song by far and sounds so magical, since it has one of my favorite combinations in videogame music: Rock + bells. As far as Re:Vanishment goes, it's pretty good, I like my dose of sweet-sounding female singing (especially if it's Japanese [and its inherent pinch of Engrish lol]), but it isn't retirement material. It's a kind of passable anime theme.

Frosted Flakes >> Spare Suggestion >> "The Past, Recorrection" >> Nanohemu (Yeah, couldn't think of a clever/funny name...)

Good day.

What? Uh, no, I meant "good day" as in "this was a good day, relatively speaking, since we're in Round 3". But hey, have a good day as well!
