Does anyone have a list of music by original nominator for VGMC XIII? Or if someone has the nomination topic for that contest archived, that could work, too.

Thanks, P0 and deo! I complete forgot that I nominated Melody of Aqua, but when I think about it, that one makes sense. Oh, wow, deo's nominations for that contest were flat out amazing, just like this year. Ahhhh, so it was THAT person who nominated linkage alter! This data will be useful when I include some VGMC XIII music in my ranking project.

Unofficial Results, day 11
Megaraph Fleet > In Circles, 33-24
Dance With Me < L L ~Infinite Beating ver~, 20-37
Battle With Saruin < Big Blue, 22-32

Megaraph Fleet/In Circles and Saruin/Big Blue were close for the first two-thirds or so of their matches, at which point the eventual winners pulled away without looking back.

And so we say farewell to Bracket A; it'll be over a month until we return to these songs! I was mostly satisfied with how the matches went, ending with a 15/24 = 62.5% winrate, with my original noms going 1-2 and supports going 1-1. Also discovered/re-discovered a lot of good songs I hadn't noticed before, especially that four-pack at the top of A3! Unfortunately, ending on a low note as I had really high hopes for Eulogia coming into the bracket. Maybe Giant Strike for next year?

I felt Bracket A was my weakest of the four, so I'm very excited to finally get into Bracket B! Especially B3, which has got to be the craziest quadrant out of all the ones I've seen!

Hey Mycro, I have a minor suggestion for the compatibility sheet... I know this isn't the main purpose of it, but it would be nice if we had an (updatable) list ranking all the users by Win %. Last year I got frustrated trying to figure out who had the highest win %!

Bracket A is done, eh? (hey that rhymed!) I have exactly a 2/3 win rate in this bracket so far, and ranked 15th in win %. This is SO much better than last year around this time where I had like a 53% win rate and ranked like 40th.

I just realized I have a huge "darkness" obsession in this VGMC, heh. I nominated Beyond the Darkness, Dark Man Stage, and Second Dark Matter Battle! What can I say? Dark music is awesome! Turns out there's one other with with "dark" in the name....I was hoping all of them would belong to me... drat!

You can figure it out by looking at the very bottom of the data sheet. We could add a userfriendly view for it but it just adds more formulas that'd slow the sheet down more than it already is. Dire and I agree it's probably not the healthiest thing to obsess over anyways haha, but the info's still accessible.

If I had been conscious of my darkness bias at that time maybe I would have supported them! Wandering in the Darkness has a nice swing to it.

ElectriCITY < Partizans, 19-34
Luna Ascension EX > Endless Nine, 28-23

Touhou 4 lost because its dreams had no life to them.
SimCity 4 lost because it was under martial law.
Umineko lost (again) because the board doesn't care for divergent series. Or the Divergent series.

Oh, incidentally, xp, you're currently my #1 in compatibility. We've voted the same 73.2% of the time so far. (Out of 60, I have 12 people 60% or higher; 9 people 40% or lower.)

Some compatibility stats are very interesting this year. Last year I had a whopping 47% compatibility with Jonaleon. This year, he's my best match by a good bit at 76%! So far, anyway. But I gotta say WOW at the Mycro/cakophon compatibility... it's over 90%!

Yeah, I know, right? BtD is screwed next round. Hinagiku is not a strong track by any means, though I think it's amazing! I would actually vote for it to get an extra life rather than Beyond the Darkness simply so it gets another match. Speaking of BtD, I was questioning my love for BtD for a minute there, but I'm glad the later write-ups about it were much more positive.
