VIMP just made R3! ^____^ None of my noms have fallen yet. I thought my final nom, Danger, had a good chance against Passion in Blue, but probably not anymore after Sim Broadway crushed that poll!
I think the R1 loser poll ideas are fine. But speaking of polls, I'd like to see a "favorite humorous vgm contestant" from the past few vgmc's. Stuff like Epic Epileptic Apocalpyse, Girl, You're Quite Hostile (forgot the name), etc. Or maybe it's been done recently (I can't remember). Oh, and deo... I noticed that you stopped doing your R2 rankings. If you're done with your rankings, would it be appropriate to ask for your complete rankings list, whether it's R1 or R2? :) :) :) --- "Ah, a party!

Compatibility graphs are now up-to-date with Round 2, Bracket C! I won't do updates as actively as Haste does with the sheet, but I'll aim to refresh it once per weekend at least: https://p0p0p0p.github.io/src/vgmc15/bracket.html
NEW FEATURE ALERT: You can now toggle the RESULTS node on and off! Because sometimes it's nice to find your #1 link, you know, other than the match results... Now that we have some new data, let's look at two bite-sized cohorts today! First we have Gamebop-hotdog-Collen with compatibilities 70.9-74.4-75.0 - when were their worst losses as a group? Here's the bottom 8: Toucan Tarsand 16-48 La Mer Twelfth Chapter ~ In the Sky 20-49 The Rain Formerly Known As Purple Give Me! 19-43 A Beautiful Song Elegy For Old Identities and Nostalgia 19-40 Vast Ice Mountain Peak Tidal Tempest 21-43 Pioneer's Horizon Underwater Prom Queens 23-46 The Butterfly's Temptation Shop 'til You drop (Level 2) 21-40 Conquest Narrowsky - Finale 22-41 Prairie4 (Theme of Alicianrone) Almost none of these songs focus on "real" or real-sounding instruments! There's Give Me, and I guess Twelfth Chapter technically counts...my impression is that the "weird electronic" group likes, well, electronic sounds that are glitchy/robotic/sci-fi and coming out of an old computer from Germany, but not necessarily full-on chiptunes? Now let's do the same with a second group in azuarc-Mac-Sceptile, who have 68.8-70.0-70.5: The Dark Messenger 20-42 Vast Poni Canyon Final Wishes of the Mist 20-40 Central Tower "Axis Pillar" Way of the Monk 22-42 POINT OF NO RETURN I Believe 22-39 Wavetapper Dienos Advento 25-38 The Best Is Yet To Come Looting the Louvre 29-43 Altered Genos Rush Hour 25-36 Liber Ark Roar of the Jungle Dragon 28-38 Impossible Worlds Okay, these ones are pretty hard...there's definitely a theme of rock and metal-derived instrumentals, and maybe strong melodies as well - energy rather than atmosphere, except when it's WoW vs. Eschatos apparently. Also they might have a grudge against Trail SC final dungeons right now haha. With bigger groups, I like to look at matches that differentiate their members, but it doesn't work as well when there's only 3 people. Instead, I'll do my Roman emperor impression and pit today's groups against each other for my amusement! This time I'll use the 8 closest matches where each group supported one side, so if you're an outsider you can try seeing when you agreed with one group vs. the other! "Weird electronic" on the left, "Classic Rock FM I can't think of a good name" on the right: Sanctuary-SHU 37-36 Let It Die ~ NOTHING TO DECLARE Obstacle 32-34 Ryoshima Coast Tactical Field 34-32 Kimi ga Tame Re:boot Tron's Castle 30-32 Tundra Man Stage (Instrumental) rhythm-changer 32-30 Tonitrus Tactical Field 30-32 Valestein Castle Wheels of Aurelia 32-35 Stay Gold Planet Wisp (Act 1) 33-29 The Rain Formerly Known As Purple Speaking for myself, I agreed with the right side every single time! That is, except for rhythm-changer...hey, azuarc totally betrayed it for Tonitrus there!!! --- Sometimes you just need a separate account for statsposting. VGMC stuff: https://p0p0p0p.github.io ...

Now let's do the same with a second group in azuarc-Mac-Sceptile, who have 68.8-70.0-70.5: The first two of these were unfortunate match-ups. The latter two hurt. Especially Rush Hour. I don't feel anything for Liber Ark beyond "this is definitely a trails song." I feel like I could point to 6 or 7 that are basically the same exact mood, and none are exceptional. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ... Copied to Clipboard!
