Revealing is my favorite new discovery of the contest. It was actually already on my spreadsheet as a 7 but I had completely forgotten about it, and now it's a high 9. Really terrific track. Bounce Man is not my thing.

Even all these years later, I can't not hear the goddamn Brentalfloss song when I listen to Title I love Staff Roll. Mega Man 8 has a lot of cool music!

If Revealing and Staff Roll both get to round 2, we will have a rare 9-off. Hurrah!

Three of the songs today are very strong. Revealing has the disadvantage of being too short though, but it's still a very cool song.

Staff Roll > Bounce Man Stage (Arranged) >> Revealing >>>>> Title (MM3)

Fuck I forgot to vote yesterday because of Internet issues lol. Not again.

This Rubber (lol) Man arrangement has such a sweet and airy bounciness to it. A cute and breezy song!

Oh, this song is also kind of breezy too, and with a soundscape that imo wouldn't be ill fitting in a game like MMBN. Got that digital flair to it. Who knew that making a match hard would be to have two smooth and chill songs fight each other?

As far as title themes go, this is an all timer. Love the chill intro and how it follows it up with an energetic melody. The kind of music where a whole ass scene plays in my head.

Back to pure chill. From the beginning I'm like "Huh, why didn't I save this one in noms phase? This is good!" but then this one part hits and it is just a little shrill.... but it was only one small part? Idk I'm definitely feeling it a lot more now. Must have been a really shitty and overwhelming day because the rest of this is really good. Dude can I like get a refund for the shit brain I got? I need a new one. Did not expect to vote for this one. Relisten to the songs, people, this rule exists for a reason!

I'm not in an appropiate mood to comment my impressions, but I'll say I've never heard something like Bounce Man Arrange in my life. These are a nice pack of four to finish off round 1. On to Round 2!

Love the chillness of Bounce Man. First half is real nice in its own way, then the piano comes in and it's just mwuh. Revealing feels like nothing to me. Like if we had Get a Weapon here or something. Barely even a song.

Yay MM3 Title but not a remix! Really deserves its classic status. I'd say I hope it does well in the contest, but it's only my second favorite song of the day :p

Man, we really end off on a strong note here. Match 1 is so close, Revealing feels like half of a Kaze no Notam song.

And then Staff Roll could be straight out of Notam too, what is this?!

This has certainly been a fun look into Mega Man, Im happy/sad to see that theres a lot of good stuff Ive been missing all this time. Curious to see what wins it all!
