Links: Contest info - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VNrPnFRI7nJ4PqFiURBW0NWqxvXiuasoq8Sn_O169ss/edit#gid=320804650 Bracket - http://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=473292 Discussion and results thread - https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78714595 Bracket playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW9O9mntH1REnVI_W6yELaDP6Zac8b0Wq ToC playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW9O9mntH1RE-TQMj19D0k5nm-0zeH12J VGMC compability sheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lpX4faqnn_geI0y4i6MrZ2AXpV6SWXoWrIA6_eyx-yM/edit Rules: - Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. 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! .

Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke
Zadok Zadok >>> Heading Back to Town = Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke > Confronting Myself. Zadok makes HBtT sound much worse on repeated loops when moving between the two matches. It's ruining my fair judgment of the first match quite a bit lol. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Heading Back to Town
Confronting Myself I enjoy both Go Shiina and ZUN having so much fun being their unmistakably "them" selves, no one else would write either of these pieces of music but them. neither are really a favorite example from either but Heading Back to town does a bit more of what I like about Go Shiina than rftm does for what i like about ZUN it's a shame i'm not a bigger fan of zadok, i've been in a really "80s mood" the past few days, but i just hate that one compositionally too much no matter how much i like individual bits ("cool chords" sometimes, fun chord stabs and solos, etc) and no matter how much i like the timbral aesthetic it exudes. Confronting Myself has never stopped being something I love, 9/16 polymeter and chanting and fun glitchiness that never gets old to me. It's actually maybe the opposite of zadok to me, I'd normally find something with these particular synth sounds hard to get into these days, but I like so many things about this compositionally (and things like the chanting/glitchiness) that It's an all around wonderful package to me just as much as it was the first time I heard it. --- time ...

Heading Back to Town (71st//121st) vs Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke (51st//72nd)
Confronting Myself (7th//8th) vs Zadok (67th//106th) (96th//192nd) very good day!! feel bad for voting against heading back and zadok cause they're both INCREDIBLY cool, but reach for the moon is still a classic and confronting myself is.... well, an absolute masterpiece so yeah. one match i'm fine with a loss and one i'm very much not even though i love the opponent lol ...

Did Haste finally figure out how to read deo's weird ranking format? Yesterday's post was a joke, too, though I didn't make it clear. But I've always understood the format, at least I think so. I believe the first number is the R2 ranking while the second number is the original R1 ranking. I'm not sure why (96th/192nd) gets tagged at the end each time, though. --- Congrats to azuarc for winning the Guru challenge! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Every year, I secretly hope RFTM will do well. It was a legend before I arrived, the original Id Purpose and the banner-carrier for Touhou, and it's sad to see it get in each year and ultimately get drowned by the competition. However, Heading Back to Town was my pet pick this year, the only one of my original nominations from (effective) post #1 in the nom thread, and I thought it would be really well received by the current VGMC zeitgeist. RFTM has a very non-zero chance of winning the wild card still.
Second match is also really good. Zadok got mired in the endless tiebreaker last round with To the Distant Sky, but unless people decide that it shouldn't be eligible and anti-vote it, I expect it to put up a pretty good fight against Confronting Myself...which was one of the strongest songs from last year to not retire, and my favorite of the tracks I had heard from Celeste until Magic Mirror Mix came along.

Confronting Myself I legit thought the mr driller song was gonna be bad - and tbf the very brief vocals are kinda annoying. But it impressed me! I like Touhou music a lot. But Reach for the Moon is a B-tier Touhou song and is only in because of whatever meme I haven't been here for. Whatever Still wish I could get the B-side for Reflections in, but Confronting Myself is still super solid and emotional. Zadok was really nice but not super special. ... Copied to Clipboard!
