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!

Though it's not even close to the best match this round, it really feels like the "true finals" here. May the best Gust win!

Agreed. We already have one CLASS too many among the champions.

Nosurge is literally the only retiree that's a class song. Are you thinking of the track referenced in today's trivia, perhaps?

I'm confused by this post.

Ar Nosurge - Class::EXSPHERE_NOSURGE;

Pretty sure the trivia's EXEC_SPHILIA? That song's been growing on me quite a bit lately. I definitely liked it to begin with, though.

In noms, I dropped Autumn specifically for a certain song. I do not regret that decision, even if i re-added it anyway.

Atelier Ayesha - Invitation Flower ~ Autumn

Match-up analysis:

Despite knowing that without even looking at the votes so far Autumn has like a 5% chance of pulling the upset here, after watching NWO not only reaching a lot of the ideal world (retirement), but also beating a favorite to win the contest and completely obliterating another one, I still give hope a chance.

However, EXSPHERE is too much of an OP villain, while at the same time Autumn is a subordinate since this is Gust vs. Gust we're talking about. What I'm trying to say is, both styles are completely different despite being from the same source, so Autumn may resist being SFF'd to some extent, but it can't also do much here.

After this match ends, I could only think that the next match of this side is freaking Battle!! vs. EXSPHERE, which is a travesty in an of itself.

NWO, save us!

(Note: Something I hadn't mentioned in the past is how nice (relatively speaking) EXSPHERE handles the first 40 seconds like a "Ar Nosurge presents..." kind of thing, and the actually officially starting after that with the soft, "angelical" chants. Nice touch, even if the song doesn't redeem itself in spite of that...)

Did you know that I was actually born the same day my favorite season, Autumn, begins? >>>> PlZ [stop and] -> END [this madness] ( ;

I was rooting for EXSPHERE because I don't think Autumn is capable of beating New World Order....
