escape is one of my favorite new discoveries! I missed it during nominations but now I greatly enjoy it. Kudos to the nominators.

Match 2 is weird to me. Both songs I sort of enjoy, but I can't really decide which one is standing out more.

I do love the nostalgic sound of the SNES songs today, though neither of them really grab me. At this point I have 0 confidence in my Ocean Palace retirement prediction, its no Secret of the Forest and B1 is full of heavy hitters.

Havent heard all of these poll songs yet but ACTIVATION_KEY=FLOURISH/. was pretty good.

escape sounds like 4-5 breakbeat songs wrapped up into one whole package, and I'm IN IT when it switches around the 1:30 mark.

Currently I'm at the point with DESPEDIA where it sounds just as rough and tangled to me either and I'm trying to decipher any particular enjoyment from it. I don't like it much as is, maybe that'll somehow change in the future? We'll see.

I think I'm a little less enchanting with for you now than I was when I heard it during noms. It's certainly a good song, though I can't help but think it drags around the middle, which kinda sucks since that's where it really picks up for me.

The "soundfont" for KDL3 is very telling of an era now long gone, and the credits, on top of telling you your latest adventure with Kirby has reached its happy end, do feel like they're also telling you that you won't help Kirby this same way every again; the song is almost like a time capsule, reminding you of simpler times compared to how much grander and bigger Kirby's adventures are in the modern era. I'll miss your more innocent adventures, Kirby.

Oh hey, a Chimeratio song! This one is pretty neat, I like the mishmash of synths and weird tempos that I kinda associate with Mycro now, I always think of it as fun!

I'm still debating on whether or not I'd put Ocean Palace in my top 10 CT songs, but I still really like how moody and serious it is compared to others in the soundtrack.

Very weak day in comparison to basically everything else. Deluged Depths is good but I don't particularly like any of the other songs.

Match 1 is such a thing. I'm def not a fan of DESPEDIA, but my thoughts on escape are very complex. Ideally it wont matter because for you will beat both

Both songs in match 3 really surprised me honestly. Neither are perfect to me, but that's definitely my favourite CT song now and Deluged Depths does some things I really dig for what I expected from that kinda music.

for you easily my favourite today, then the rest outside of despedia are close for me.

Never thought I would see the day I vote for a song from goddamn OSU of all things.

MATCH 1

escape is hit or miss at times, but it has some moments with some cool melodic parts like 1:55 and 4:23. I think the vocal parts are pretty neat too, especially 4:41.

I want to like Despedia, but it's just too grating on the ears to me. I like metal a lot, so the guitar and drums are really cool, but the vocals are too much for me sadly. I feel like I'd pick 90% of hymmnos songs over this in this match, but Despedia's just not for me.

MATCH 2

I like the detailed, dramatic sound of for you. It's not as melodically compelling as New World Order, but it's still plenty good enough to take here.

Credits has a nice, happy melody. I especially like 0:03-0:15. It's a nice melody, and I think it works well with the soft instrument.

MATCH 3

The opening chords of Deluged Depths are really neat. I like the way that particular instrument sounds. The soft clicking of that one instrument kind of enhances it too. Cool song overall!
