Immortal 31 v 32 Paranoid (World7-1)

So happy!!! ^-^ I did not think it would win.

I guess you were just paranoid. Though I suppose that's understandable when its opponent was immortal.

3-3, every vote counts

The pain of one vote losses I really did love Underworks too, I wouldve rooted for it to go the distance. Oh well.

My rankings for the A2 one-rounders:

Tier 1: What I'm Made of... / Last Boss ver.2: Metal Overlord, Utopia Shelter - In the Depths, Give it a Shot, Origin

Tier 2: Vending Machine of Love, Gnorman's Theme, Heal the World, Bury The Light

Vending Machine and Gnorman are weird, theyre definitely not my favorites but they do have some stuff going on that I enjoy.

Day 10 Results!

SHININ' QUEEN 46 v 18 Hungary (The Atomic Era)
J-E-N-O-V-A 29 v 34 Subterranean Sunrise

Day 11: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80452819

Bracketmaker stats for B1 - we have another narrow favourite with Knight of a Foreign Country, 6 R4's and 4 R5's! Runner-ups:
Apex of the World with 7 R4's and 1 R5
Battle on the Sea with 5 R4's and 3 R5's
Ocean Palace with 5 R4's and 1 R5
Tokyo with 4 R4's and 3 R5's

It's another competitive division, I'm sure the Bracketmaker crowd will get all their desired results just like A4!

Also, biggest Bracket A stomps by division now that we're unofficially finished - will one of these be our A winner?
Northeast Frost Street 50-23 Title BGM
MNN+@0(Day) 56-16 Vs. Gullveig (Book VII Boss)

Azure Archipelago 49-14 Heal the World

A3 one-rounder rankings:

Tier 1: Main Theme, Shushi ~ Set You Free
Tier 2: Kimigatame 2016, Underwater Lv. 1/4, Weapons Factory, Layer Cake, Luma Pools, Back 2 Back

Kimigatame and Underwater both have some great parts that would put them in favorite if more of the song was like that.

Day 13 Results!

warp-wet-woods 38 v 29 Moebius Battle
The Sunleth Waterscape 45 v 21 A Moment of Tranquility
Deluged Depths 34 v 31 Undersea Palace

Day 14: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80456087

Tranquility is good, just a bad matchup

Finally... this might be my first 3/3 day. I'm especially happy for warp-wet-woods and Deluged Depths! Is this the first time a Chimeratio composition has won a match?

Haste_2 posted... Finally... this might be my first 3/3 day. I'm especially happy for warp-wet-woods and Deluged Depths! Is this the first time a Chimeratio composition has won a match?

this was my first 0/3 day meanwhile lmafaooo (I have like one to two 3/3s so far so it's k)

All right, well with Dire Dire [not Docks] taking the cake, it's time for me to share my D alliteration rankings. There was a joke on the Supra server about what was the best D alliteration song so I'm bringing this up again.

Dire Dire Docks >>> Din Don Dan Dan > Diving > Dark Dreams Don't Die > Deluged Depths > Deluge Dirge

In other words

DDD >>> DDDD > D > the other DDDD > DD > DD

Getting back to the other match-up, It's really funny to see warp-wet-woods win here because it was literally bottom 30 of like over 2000 rated songs on the rate the video game music server. People on that server really don't like W-w-w.

And also, it kinda sucks that the ONE Alto song that I actually really like (on the first listen anyways) also happens to be the weakest Alto song that has shown up in these contests thus far. Oh well. Tenor was always better anyways/j

I made a last minute prediction change from Undersea Palace reaching bracket finals to losing in semis to Shutoko, so now my bracket is slightly less wrecked than it wouldve been.

A4 one-rounder rankings:

Tier 1: Hungary (The Atomic Era), Immortal, Superior Probe - Underworks - Scenery

Tier 2: Nilah, the Joy Unbound, J-E-N-O-V-A, Credits, One Who Bares Fangs at God, EXEC_DESPEDIA/.

Hungary is the easy #1, I like Immortal and Underworks for very different reasons and which one I prefer can flip. Which looking back is the case for my previous top 2s.

Checking out B2 Bracketmakers...we have two clear frontrunners! Banbard Chroma Remix with 10 R4's and 5 R5's, closely followed by Waltz of Meditation Part2 with 8 R4's and 4 R5's! After that it's a crapshoot between Epicentre, FestA of PandemoniuM, Shutoko - Spiral Maze, and the rest.

Day 14 Results!

Tokyo 35 v 33 Love the Subhuman Self
SHAKE YA BODY 22 v 45 Knight of a Foreign Country

Suna Gin 37 v 22 Kanashimi no Mephisto feat.Mahoushoujo Ran & Mahoushoujo Akane
Shutoko - Spiral Maze 30 v 29 Inherit the Stars

Day 17: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80459027

Not too bad to go 0/3 on a day where I like every song. More importantly it seems that in each bracket Im going to get 3 retirees wrong and nail the bracket winner.

Day 17 Results!

Life Returns 21 v 43 Me and My Little War
Mazes 31-35 24 v 40 Let's Dance, Boys!
Can You Feel the Sunshine? 41 v 22 Misogi (Extended Mix)

Day 18: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80460010

aww well at least Mazes only lost by four votes

On to B3 Bracketmakers, it's another one with two frontrunners! Can You Feel the Sunshine with 8 R4's and 5 R5's, Ring Ring Ring with 7 R4's and 4 R4's. My Dark Disquiet is a Dark-horse with 5 R4's and 4 R5's.

I thought Aria Math was the one to watch here, but it has 4 R4's and...no R5's

the real dark hourse is obviously the winner of rgb/deep blue though (obvious bias)

Day 18 Results!

Breathe the Black 25 v 34 My Dark Disquiet
Blue Whitecaps 38 v 21 Fire! (1st. BGM)
RGB (OST Arrange ver.) 26 v 33 Deep Blue

Day 19: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80461122

B1 one-rounder rankings:

Tier 1: A Moment of Tranquility

Tier 2: Moebius Battle, Love the Subhuman Self, Undersea Palace, The Buzz in the Grotto (Troupple Pond), Lake, Dead Sea, SHAKE YA BODY

Moebius and Subhuman Self both have the the good parts are REALLY good, but theres too many meh parts for it to be a favorite problem.

Undersea Palace, Subhuman Self, and Moebius battle are all songs I like a lot. First time one of these R1 loser sets has had songs like that for me. :(

Day 19 Results!

Ring Ring Ring! 44 v 19 Stage 3
Full Base 40 v 23 Into the storm
Panic Restaurant 19 v 42 Aria Math

Day 20: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80462205

Didn't get to vote but that would've been a 3/3 for me anyways even if I did lol

B4 stats, last division of the first half! We have a narrow frontrunner in Trajectory of the Kiyarora Satellite with 7 R4's and 2 R5's - following it are A Journey for You Alone Re:boot with 6 R4's and 3 R5's, then The Best Is Yet To Come with 5 R4's and 3 R5's. Honourable mentions to Battle! Zero Lab and Remnants of Celestial.

sad to hear that all the songs today are all out of contention since it's easily in the top 5 r1 days for me and i thought they'd be popular

great news for kiyarora tho

idk i feel like if journey and zero lab already easily has the rest of the 8pack beat in predix it's going to be even more lopsided in the matches

Strong showing from Full Base. I can get behind that.

B2 one rounder rankings:

Tier 1: Scream, Kanashimi no Mephisto feat.Mahoushoujo Ran & Mahoushoujo Akane, LET IT DIE~Wandervogel~

Tier 2: Inherit the Stars, Waltz of Meditation Part2, Life Returns, Museum of Agony, Keeper

Really good bunch overall, even Keeper has grown on me after some relistens.

Full Base lost to New World Order (which won bracket a) in a tiebreaker last time. I'm curious to see what it can do this year.

Edit: Oh, man.... I almost forgot about that match. I voted for New World Order (like a dummy) in the initial match. Full Base would have won had I voted properly. In the tiebreaker I saw the error of my ways and voted for Full Base, but alas, NWO still managed the win the tiebreaker. Things could have been so different if it weren't for that...

Day 20 Results!

The Amazon 39 v 23 Hex of Pygmalion
Dungeon 19 v 41 The Last Specter's Theme

Day 21: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80463406

Im officially 2 for 2 with my only surviving retiree predictions being the bracket winner. Bring it on I say.

B3 one-rounder rankings:

Tier 1: Into the storm, Mazes 31-35, RGB (OST Arrange ver.), Panic Restaurant, Fire! (1st. BGM)

Tier 2: Breathe the Black, Misogi (Extended Mix), Stage 3

Fires not entirely a favorite but the Hey! pushes it over the edge.

Not if it keeps getting that kind of bracket placement.

There is no bracket placement that could give it a good performance.

Frozen Moonlight winning one for the PC-98, you love to see it.

B4 one-rounder rankings:

Tier 1: Duel in the Mist, Between Two Worlds (Realm of Darkness), A Journey for You Alone Re:boot
