VOTING RULES

- Each match will be between the songs representing each game, not the game as a whole. Please remember to listen and vote with this in mind! Any votes referring to a game name rather than a song name will not be counted. You have been warned!
- Listen to both songs!! If one is your literal favorite song in the world and the other is something you hate with a passion, listen to them both!!
- No alts, no rallying, no begging for something to get more votes, etc., etc., you know the drill.
- If you change your mind and would like to swap your vote, you may do so. As soon as it is 24 hours since the match topic was started, you may not change your vote and new votes will not be counted.
- If you would like to vote in advance for matches you know you will miss, please let me know in the discussion topic.

Mt. Coronet

not a big fan of winners.

Huge fan of losers. Mt. Coronet sounds so much more like pmd stuff than it does mainstream pokemon i stand by this despite the entire discord laughing at me when I said it..

Under My Control
Mt. Coronet
Corneria

Freedom vs Constraints. The former being more limiting. Deep.

Seven gamer minutes except not because real gamers would only hear this song for limited intervals of definitely not seven minutes before entering a battle. Deep. I really like Afterimage a lot so it's unfortunate it had to get a matchup like this. Coronetia

Corn good. That it can pack so many memorable elements into a sub-minute-long package is a testament to this. Having said that, I'm really digging this mekazoo song. Tough call.

Good day. None of the matches were that close but mostly because I quite liked those three.

Today is a "Haste nomination" day. I don't have a good feeling about today.... but no matter how well Corneria does, I do not regret choosing it!

Kirby's Return to Dream Land - Under My Control- I love the feeling that those moving ascending lines create in Potential for Anything....but I really love those rhythms of Under My Control at 0:39... (I don't know why they reminds me of Nintendo World Cup's music....) Plus the harmonies are consistently engaging, which I usually don't expect from Kirby music! I'm pretty much in awe. The match is not close at all for me.

Abstain (for now, at least)

Under My Control
Mt. Coronet
Sinful Syncopation

oops i love potential for anything a lot but Under My Control is like currently my favorite song in the entire kirby franchise which doesn't inherently give scale to how not close this match is but this match is extremely not close for me lol

OH NO NO NO why afterimage aaaaaa. another case of "i greatly prefer the soundtrack i vastly prefer" but mt. coronet is one of, if not currently my favorite song in the pokemon franchise HOW ARE MY FAVORITE-POSSIBLY KIRBY AND FAVORITE-POSSIBLY POKEMON SONGS IN THE SAME DAY FML god coronet is just insane. 0:51 to 1:06 is like the best 15 seconds EVER how the song just builds and builds up until that point and fucking blows this huge piano scale crazy load everywhere and goes right back to the cool quiet stuff is insane. wow.

augh i do like corneria a lot but sinful has some reaaaally cool sounds, so while i like the corneria composition a tiny bit better i think, orchestra is kinda mehhh but sinful sounds nice so i gotta go with sinful. tough matchup i just wanna get to the top 3 melee songs lmao

PfA's alright. I like the one with the guy who says 'v' better. UMC is p. solid. Don't care about either song in the second match. Corneria more like Corneri"eh". SS is actually super cool! Don't remember previous Mekazoo songs being this good.

This week has been BAD_WEEK for me so this set was extremely refreshing to hear. I had lots of fun listening to Mt. Coronet in the car today. I love video game music_!!!!!

Writeups will happen again soon I hope. I miss doing them.

Mekazoo - Sinful Syncopation

Woooah today is nuts, dude. Even my favorite from the very well-picked RtDL set couldn't stand against Potential for Anything though, a song which stands out in my mind so much that I've dedicated a lot of time to wrapping my mind around how it even comes together the way it does. Really friggin' sad to vote against Enhndr but Mt. Coronet has, like, all of the elements I look for in stuff like it?? Props to Mekazoo for surprising me as well.

This week's been beating me down. Thanks to everyone for sharing all this great music.

Mekazoo - Sinful Syncopation


MATCH 1

Potential for Anything is one of my favorite VVVVVV songs besides Popular Potpourri. I really love those upward progression of notes starting at 0:16 that goes on throughout the whole song. The melody manages to be pretty decent on top of that, so that makes for a pretty good song!

Under My Control is pretty cool, but I feel like there's something off about many of the parts that I enjoy that make me not enjoy them as much. 0:39 I feel is the best example of that since I can actually put into words what it is. With this, I feel like it overstays its welcome. Like it just goes on for a bit too long. Probably would've liked that bit more if it was shorter.
