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.
- Please vote in the order the songs are listed (not descending order) to make counting easier

... Copied to Clipboard!

A big shout-out to everyone for voting terribly in round 2 and making this selection awful for me.

+0 Flightless
+2 Dreamy Somnom Labyrinth
+0 Battle Tower
+0 Wings of Terror Phase 2
+1 EXEC_Z/.
+3 Ai[UE]OON

that sure is a topic title

8.7 Suite Photoconductivity ~Third Tune: Bolt and Sword~
8.6 Final Destination
8.4 Ai[UE]OON
7.8 Dreamy Somnom Labyrinth
6.2 EXEC_Z/.
4.0 Blooming Villain
3.4 Wings of Terror
2.2 Battle! (Battle Tower)
N/A FLIGHTLESS

Flightless has a literal handful at best of good things in it, and virtually everything else in it (which is to say, about 90% of the song at a bare minimum) is extremely just... so far below any standards for vgmc that it automatically has to land at the bottom (insert joke about it being on land in the first place). Which is frustrating in a sense because don't really like having blooming villain over three other songs here. Boy am I glad none of these songs made it past round 1, and I hope I don't see them again.

As a side note, exec z feels like what blooming villain should be.

+1 Dreamy Somnom Labyrinth
+2 Suite Photoconductivity ~Third Tune: Bolt and Sword~
+1 Ai[UE]OON
+2 Final Destination

+3 Arcaea - AI[UE]OON
---

+3 Dreamy Somnom Labyrinth
+3 EXEC_Z/.
---

+3 Battle Tower
+2 Flightless
+1 Ai[UE]OON
---

+3 Wings of Terror Phase 2
+3 EXEC_Z/.

+3 FLIGHTLESS
+3 Dreamy Somnom Labyrinth

Both of these lost by just two votes, earning more votes than either song that won did in their following match. That counts for something right? Apologies to Final Destination, hope I won't regret voting like this. There are plenty of good or decent options here though, only one song I'd be particularly disappointed if it wins.

---

+2 FLIGHTLESS
+2 Dreamy Somnom Labyrinth
+2 EXEC_Z/.

You have Blooming Villain imbeded twice instead of the Arcea song.

+3 FLIGHTLESS
.... +3 EXEC Z

reluctantly giving exec z points since flightless is doomed if it gets in so if I screw myself by splitting points it'll probably be a better outcome anyway

caps good

fuck

Nice try trying to trick us into giving points for Blooming Villain twice...!

+3 Suite Photoconductivity ~Third Tune: Bolt and Sword~
+1 AI[UE]OON
+2 Final Destination

+3 Pokemon Sword and Shield - Battle Tower
+3 Ar tonelico III - EXEC_Z/.
---

+3 Persona 5 - Blooming Villain
+3 Ar tonelico III - EXEC_Z/.

---

+3 FLIGHTLESS
+1 EXEC_Z/.
+2 AI[UE]OOn

---

+3 Hello Penguin 2 HD - FLIGHTLESS
+3 Ar tonelico III - EXEC_Z/.

I thought about splitting the Flightless points to a +2 and dropping a +1 elsewhere but I don't know if I like any of the others enough to do it. Blooming Villain comes the closest probably?

+3 Wings of Terror Phase 2
+2 EXEC_Z/.
+1 AI[UE]OON

Blah. The last song turned into Suite Photoconductivity and I fixed that. Didn't realize there was another weird glitch.

This is Arcaea if anyone needs the link -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3G39yjQgtw

You got me. I'm just the biggest Persona fan on the board, and by golly, I sure hope nobody votes for that Arcawhatever song that I gave +3 to.

+3 Suite Photoconductivity ~Third Tune: Bolt and Sword~
+3 Final Destination

feel pretty strongly here, I am not interested in anything in this set outside of these two. unlike a1/2/4 where i'd still be fine with or equally excited about a lot of the options I didn't vote for.

it's pronounced "aeiou"

+2 FLIGHTLESS
+2 Battle Tower
+2 Wings of Terror Phase 2

Man, this is the best day of wildcard songs (or worst, depending on how you look at it). I'd take most of these over what we actually still have in easily ;>_>

As much as I wanna +3 something here, these are too good for me to not at least give a +2 to

additionally, HMs to B&S, EXEC_Z/., and FD wow today is too good

Forgot I only had 5 points instead of 6. It's too late to edit my post again so add this to my other post:
