Man, losing linkage-alter sucks. That's a track that just sounds like it was meant to retire.
PROTECTA is my favorite song left though so I'm glad that one pulled through! --- azuarc is quite good at predicting GameFAQs bracket battles. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Honestly am surprised it took Soaring Through Azure Sadness this long to retire.
Looking it at the sheet I suppose it has only been in 1 contest before this, but it feels like it's been a known strong quantity for a couple of years now. (I do know it was in a side bracket one year which is probably what's confusing me, but I still could have swore it was in 2 main contests before this one) --- I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways. ...

I made some basic images in GIMP to celebrate the new crop of retirees. It's the same template I used in my most recent guessing game, if you played that.
Will most likely do one for all sixteen retirees this year. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I started championing it about 3 years ago now, and I've championed it loudly, but I don't think the track was really ever talked about before then. --- Nonsense.

that wasn't my intention. if i thought there was something fishy going on, i would be a lot more blunt about it >_>
like, last year, i flat out stated that you shouldn't have counted moonroof's vote in the final match. he's a troll who had literally never voted in a VGMC match before and appeared out of nowhere to vote for endeavour in a very close match (though without his vote, it still would have won). i can see the argument for counting his vote too, though, so it's not that big a deal. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ...

In VGMC 13 there was a match that tied initially, but the tiebreaker resulted in a 31-21 result: Chaos King vs. Scene Shifts There. Now that was strange... (though not necessarily fishy)

i was rereading old mycro writeups and it's funny how, in his chrono trigger writeup, he mentions that he would like a jazz guitarist to do a cover of chrono trigger because makeyourchance is a guitarist who posted a bunch of covers of VGM songs she did with her jazz fusion band on board 8 a very long time ago and i THINK one of the songs was a chrono trigger song?? i don't think it was the main theme, though.

We did it, team!! I didn't think Id would actually retire this year. I always wanted to give it a shot as long as it mustered enough support, but I was afraid it might really be a meme of this contest and eventually, the support would just die out. Those R3 tiebreakers were definitely very symbolic and were a sign of what's to come
Id teaches us to not give up on songs that have the potential to retire, and its supporters should be proud of this accomplishment. That said, I don't plan on renominating Besaid Island unless others want to take the initiative.
