I would only say there's no standouts in A3 in the sense that there are a lot of songs I want to toss support to, and not enough points to go around.

One more stats post after the dust has settled from round 1! Graph update from previous topic if you missed it: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78524521/939597353
This time let's look at the records of the biggest series in the contest - how many of their songs moved on from round 1? Pokemon: 6 of 9 Ar/Ciel tonelico/nosurge: 5 of 7 Kirby: 3 of 6 Fire Emblem: 3 of 5 Final Fantasy: 0 of 5 Ouch, Final Fantasy has not had a retiree since VGMC9 (Break the Limit so close, rip) and will likely have to wait another year bar wildcard redemptions! As a bonus, I also looked at rhythm games, which included: Arcaea, beatmania, Deemo, GuitarFreaks, jubeat, Lanota, maimai, Nostalgia, Otocadoll (being generous with that one), pop'n, Reflec Beat, Sound Voltex, and Taiko. Out of a combined 17 songs, 10 were able to survive round 1! Interestingly, Sound Voltex was the biggest representative with 4 songs, but came out with 0 wins from Brain Power, Soflan-chan, Speed star Kanade, and Sudden Visitor...if we exclude it as the black sheep of the group, rhythm games had a whopping 10 of 13 or 76.9% winrate, beating out even Exa Pico! There aren't as many big series in ToC, but I did the same tally based on results up to round 2 only, since round 3 hasn't quite been completed yet. Here, rhythm includes beatmania, Cytus, Deemo, Gitadora, jubeat, pop'n, and Sound Voltex...but not Crypt of the Necrodancer. Atelier: 1 R1 loss, 0 R2 losses, 4 R2 wins Rhythm: 3 R1 losses, 2 R2 losses, 3 R2 wins Umineko: 2 R1 losses, 1 R1 loss, 1 R2 win Though I've mostly been watching Elferia and Dark Legacy tear through their matchups, it looks like Atelier is the series making a big statement in ToC! For reference, Atelier also had 3 of 4 songs make it out of round 1 in main bracket. Looking at how both brackets have progressed, it looks like Atelier and rhythm are the big players in our current voter base - data is still very early in main bracket, though! --- -Abraham Lincoln ...

Oh let's go, I thought Megaraph was stomping its match based on the votes I skimmed! Edit: Yeah I was definitely looking at the last votes to come in where it went 6-2 and the batch right before my vote where it was 4-1
I have a pretty clear path to Snake Eater and Eulogia for this one. Maybe a single point to In Circles? --- -Abraham Lincoln ... Copied to Clipboard!

Results, wildcard A3:
44 FLIGHTLESS 44 EXEC_Z/. 34 Suite Photoconductivity 33 Ai[UE]OON 26 Final Destination 19 Wings of Terror Phase 2 19 Dreamy Somnom Labyrinth 17 Battle Tower 7 Blooming Villain This is a very weird set of results for several reasons. 1) This was literally a round 1 match. EXEC_Z won head to head, but only by 2 votes. 2) The tie was a result of a late vote swap. This is the second time someone has swapped their votes in a wild card in the final hour, and both times it resulted in a lead change. I'm not looking too favorably on vote changes right now. However, given the closeness of R1, I feel it would be a disservice to FLIGHTLESS if I ushered along EXEC_Z under that guise. Had that match been more decisive, I would have felt comfortable with that decision, but as it is, I think we will need to host a run-off. --- Congratulations to all the gurus, past and present, participating in the contest.

Wow. I was originally going to abstain on the match since I haven't played Persona 5 yet. But, because the link got snuck in under a different name and I didn't noticed, I accidentally listened to the song. So I ended up voting after all. In a different world line I would have just posted "I would have +3'd EXEC_Z/. but I haven't listened to all of the songs" in the topic and there would be a funny mess. >_>

Megaraph was one of the three I gave +2 to, so I count that as a victory. Three out of four now. The next twelve pack, B1, is statistically my favorite twelve-pack in the contest. I would give an 8.8 rating or higher to six of them. Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the wildcard match for that group!

On the bright side, this means I don't have to worry about Flotage winning the wildcard. Also, this makes Engage the Enemy look pretty good, because it beat Flotage in BOST! Oh, wow, EXEC_Z won it pretty easily this time around. It went from 27-25 to 26-18. I guess most of the voters we lost favored FLIGHTLESS. --- Congrats to azuarc for winning the Guru challenge! ...

Correction: I just realized there are not six, but SEVEN tracks in B1 that I would likely rate an 8.8 or higher. Five of them will be in the wildcard match, so allocating points will be tricky. Should I do a +1 on all of them except one, or should I only focus on two or three contestants?
