Strong day. Good songs all around.

I can't think of any AA characters I have a deeply negative reaction to. Cases sure, but the problems I have with certain cases are rarely things I would directly blame on individual characters. Also a) I'm quite tolerant of annoying tics, b) The silly characters often get entertaining reactions out of Wright/Edgeworth/etc. Like, I've never once minded Larry or Lotta or Oldbag or Meekins or Bushel or Leblanc or Hotti or Moe or whoever, even when they show up again.

Honestly, if anything, I feel more positive about those characters than I do about Nahyuta, and he's supposed to be a major character.

Depends what game it is and how interested I am in it.

But my inertia when it comes to starting new things is so bad that if I'm "only sort of" interested in a game, as the poll claims, then even if it's free I probably won't try it on impulse.

I'm against play-in and would rather it be decided today. The worse-off-nominators-getting-one-in-each system is good by me.

If there isn't a clean cutoff, will the rest be selected randomly?

On the spreadsheet I'm down as supporting the wrong Armored Armadillo. I supported "We are ROCK-MEN!" (post #153) but the spreadsheet says "Mega Man X'".

Also I've decided on my double:
BATTLE ARENA (Rockman Xover)

And with that, I'm done.

Supports:

Armored Armadillo (We are ROCK-MEN!)
BATTLE ARENA (Rockman Xover)
Dark Man Stage (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)
Departure (Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero Mythos)
Ending from ROCKMAN3 (25th Anniversary Rockman Rock Arrange Ver.)
Esperanto CAP-JAMS ver. (ONE / CAP-JAMS)
FINAL TRANSMISSION (ROCKMAN.EXE 15th ARRANGE BEST TRACK)
Galaxy Man Stage (Mega Man 9)
Gravity Beetle stage - PSX Arrange (Mega Man X3)
Opening Stage (Project X Zone 2)
Rubber Man Stage (Arranged) (Mega Man 11)
Skyway (Hurricane Hoatzin Stage) (Mega Man X: Corrupted)
Staff Roll (Mega Man 8)
The Last No. Zero (ROCKMAN Dystopia)
You'd Better Be Nippy (Water Stage Medley) (ROCKMAN DYSTOPIA)

No double yet.

Drop:
Gravity Man Stage (Mega Man 5)

To be honest, I'm not very enthused about this one. I'd rather focus on trying to get the Smash Bros. version in.

On the chopping block:
Astro Man Stage (Mega Man & Bass (SNES)
Dark Man Stage (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)
Blackheart Beat (Mega Man Zero 4)
Napalm Man Stage (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)
Blackheart Beat (Mega Man Zero 4 Remastered)

If you have been considering one of them, but are tempted to drop it from your considerations because they're still at one nom... please reconsider. If we have a bracket of 128, anything is possible!! Now, if you have at least a 20% chance of supporting any of these, let me know and I may not drop them! (I will be dropping this stuff shortly before the deadline)

Dark Man Stage (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)
Blackheart Beat (Mega Man Zero 4 Remastered)

Both survived my first pass of the nominations. I don't know if I'm going to support them. Depends how many of the other 70 survivors they beat out.

Submitted mine.

The antlion defence and the final battle in HL2: E2

Yesss.

Perhaps you could do two smaller contests instead of one or the other? Possibly even simultaneously, or as two brackets of the same contest with a bracket v bracket grand final?

Pokemon > Sonic > Mega Man >>> Smash

If Smash, then please please only smash-exclusive arrangements or originals, not songs ported as-is into Smash.

This is the worst VGMC ever, bar none, and it will be nigh impossible to top. The worst round by round results, an almost impossibly bad set of retirees, and the most uninspiring winner we've ever had. If I weren't stubborn this contest would have strainght-up driven me to quit.

Am I bitter? Absolutely.

This. Except I'm not stubborn enough, and this has driven me to quit.

This would also place 16th out of 17 on my champion ranking. My 17th (EXSPHERE) is at least super interesting/daring though, which this is not.

Steam, easy. 95% of my gaming is on PC these days, and about 80-90% of that is through Steam.

[8.5] Super Mario 64 - Staff Roll
[8.5] DEEMO II - Un Deux Trois

^ Would be happy with them winning

[8.0] SimCity 4 - Epicentre

[7.5] Iseki-jima to Nanatsu no Mahou - Banbard (Piano Version)
[7.5] Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter - PowerOne

^ Would consider supporting during nominations

[7.0] The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince - Moonlight Concert

[6.5] Final Fantasy VI - Dancing Mad
[6.5] beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro / jubeat saucer - Rainbow after snow
[6.5] Professor Layton and the Last Specter - The Last Specter's Theme
[6.5] Chrono Trigger - To Far Away Times

[6.0] Destiny Child - Ragna Breakers
[6.0] Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Northeast Frost Street

[5.5] Sonic R - Back in Time

[5.0] Sonic R - Can You Feel the Sunshine?
[5.0] Final Fantasy XIII - The Sunleth Waterscape

[4.0] Cleopatra Fortune - SHININ' QUEEN

Pretty bad set of retirees, to me. No 9s or high 8s. 5 songs I'd consider supporting out of 16. Ergo, there's 11 things here I wouldn't even put in the bracket, let alone have retire. (Okay 10, because Dancing Mad is cool, even though I don't love listening to it necessarily). Also 6 of the 16, if they won, would be my 2nd least favourite champion in VGMC history (previous #15/#16 for me was Time's Scar, which is a high 6.0).

My taste is just completely incompatible with this community now.

Neither of the poll options. It makes me think of surprise, as used in the cutscene of an RPG for example. Of the two poll options only, I associate it more with alertness/sight than interactables or quests.

Awful.

I think I actually normally slightly prefer Miss Conductor, but re-listening to the Match 2 songs, I'm feeling Reflec Beat song way more today.
Normally I abstain the tiebreaks, but I care enough about this one to insist.

#1 should be the obsession with taking shows with periphery demographics, cancelling them, then re-releasing them as babier/chibier/simpler/stupider/cheaper reboots, of which there is many, many examples.
