Rules:
- Listen to both songs in a given match, at least through the loop time provided (to make sure you don't skip before you've heard the whole thing!)
- Please consider the loop point listed when judging the song; if a video loops one minute 5 times, don't treat it as if it's a repetitive 5 minute song
- If it's a match between your favorite song ever and a song you despise, still LISTEN TO BOTH! Votes can and will be disqualified if there is suspicion songs are not being listened to, and you may be discounted for the rest of the contest for repeat offenses.
- No alt accounts, no rallying or begging, etc., etc.... You only get one vote! Swapping votes is alright, just make clear that you've already made a vote and are swapping.
- Make clear what your voting options are! Please keep votes separate from any comments, and use the titles given in the topic post.
- Voting in all matches is not mandatory, feel free to skip matches you do not wish to vote in.
- Vote based on the links provided, and not other sources of audio. Links are specifically chosen for best quality and the like.
- Don't discuss vote tallies in this thread, or in other threads, as they may influence votes. Likewise, please refrain from looking at the running tally before voting.

Voting Period:
- Today's matches will last 24 hours from the time of posting, or 24 hours from 10pm Eastern, whichever is the later time.

I voted for every one of these except Dialga. My favorite is still They Who Govern Reason, second place is hotly contested between Unused Song 2 and City Centre.

azuarc is quite good at predicting GameFAQs bracket battles.
I'm still not sure how Sunleth is this strong, but whatever. I somewhat agree with the sentiment that Epicentre drags a bit in the middle, but it's not a huge deal, it's still a great song. Easy vote.

Why does Can You Feel the Sunshine? keep getting in massively unfair matchups? First it goes against Blue Whitecaps, then Aria Math, now Layton??? This is the first one of those three where I do slightly prefer Sunshine, but this still feels super rude.
