So, with one actual wildcard under our belts, how are you feeling?










Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 14, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

Rules:
- Listen to ALL of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided. 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. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- 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!

Special rules for the wildcard matches:
- Yes, there are 9 songs.
- You may vote 6 times.
- You may vote a maximum of 3 times for the same song
- The intent is that you will select a +3, a +2, and a +1. This is not mandatory
- DO NOT read the other votes before making (or adjusting) your selection.
- I reserve the right to not count vote changes if I deem them suspicious. If you do change your vote, please be 100% clear in your choice.
- Request: vote in the order the songs are listed (not descending order) to make counting easier

THE COMBATANTS:

+3 Waterworks Area
+1 SEISMIQ
+2 King Noah

Waterworks is a pretty distinct favorite for me in this set but the difference between my #2 & #3 were very close, it was tricky deciding which gets my +2 and which gets +1 !!! Also world of spirit was fairly close in 4th too so maybe I should have done 3,1,1,1 but I don't feel like it sorry spirit world. Also fortunately I don't really hate any of the songs here so I can probably accept whichever song wins here no matter what. Maybe that influences my vote in some way psychology is weird.

+1 The world of spirit

thought about this for a while. especially with all of the discussion on discord about the most optimal way to vote...the end result is that at least with this particular set, based on my preferences still voting for my top 3 ranked +3 +2 +1 is the most optimal way for me to vote....FOR TODAY (tomorrow will be different)

Yeah, my opinion's up a bit on world of spirit again! I wonder if Colress's bad loss is going to hurt its chances... I hope not. It probably got SFFed anyhow. Nothing here looks that strong anyway except Don't Worry.

This feels good for right now. I'm clicking nicely with the world of spirit, but those two +3s I loved a lot. I don't want to take a point away from either of them right now, but it might happen if twos grows on me over the course of the day.

Dang, there's a lot more good stuff this time than last time... Which is especially disturbing because I remember A3 being an absolute tire fire.

+2 SEISMIQ
+1 Don't Worry
+1 King Noah
+1 MADARA
+1 Tonitrus

Also, @dowolf, I'm pretty sure "this'll" is still two syllables. You might want to take the "no" out and just expand it out to "this will".
