Votals suffering a bit because Amusement Park lost.

Laguerra del Mundo
Xeus

Laguerra del Mundo has that calm bit so I ultimately voted for it over SC. Preserved Valkyria is too short.

I don't think the Noble Nine are as strong in 1v1s as they used to be, so I don't think it would matter. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Amusement Park
OVERDOSE
A Continental Gale

Primal Dialga Battle would probably carry more weight if I actually played through the game (and I roughly know the context). With Amusement Park I can remember the level and how the theme accompanies it, and how it's one of the best tracks in the game.
OVERDOSE slightly edges out Dr. Fetus' Castle. The best part of DFC is from 0:49 - 0:58 which might beat out OVERDOSE but I like OVERDOSE a bit more overall.

On the Verge of Madness - Stage 5

Side bracket match is the only one I'm interested in today. Top Gear Rally's main menu theme reminds me quite a bit of Ace Attorney and a bit of Deus Ex, but On the Verge of Madness has more to it.

wow not even a poll

pretty telling sign of morale

Why didn't azuarc put up a topic poll?

[ ] - because he couldn't think of one
[ ] - because he forgot to
[ ] - because polls are stupid
[ ] - because he decided to be edgy and different with this topic
[x] - because the results of round 2 were so depressing he's on the verge of suicide and can barely muster the heart to just post the topic
[ ] - he wrote one, but it got erased by the GameFAQs system
[ ] - because his roommate is currently running TWO vacuum cleaners simultaneously and he can't think straight
[ ] - because he woke at 5 am, when he normally gets up at about 10, and he slept through that part of the topic-making process
[ ] - because the chicken crossed the road
[ ] - because I will never be this young again. Ever. Oh damn I just got older.
[ ] - because the lake is a long way from here.
[ ] - because I was very proud of my nickname throughout high school but today- I couldnt be any different to what my nickname was.
[ ] - because someone I know recently combined Maple Syrup & buttered Popcorn thinking it would taste like caramel popcorn. It didnt and they dont recommend anyone else do it either.
[ ] - because this is a Japanese doll.
[ ] - because the memory we used to share is no longer coherent.
[ ] - because everyone was busy, so I went to the movie alone.
[ ] - because he was too busy getting lines from a random sentence generator.

A Scattered Moment
Heavenly Flight
Dark Prison

Dr Fetus' Castle is good, but A Scattered Moment is just a bit more epic.
OVERDOSE might be more repeatable because it's a battle theme, but Heavenly Flight is absolutely beautiful and better overall.
The first 34 seconds or so of Dark Prison reminds me of Heavenly Flight at some parts. I prefer the sound of it overall compared to The Count of Darkness.

All of the songs are at least decent. Nico's Theme 1 is really good but I'm gonna have to go with Simon Belmont's Theme.

Most nominated song also isn't actually the greatest metric to seed by. Most of us who have been around for a bunch of these will not only ignore songs that we consider safe, but will even pull support from them and drop them down to the edge

Good point.

It still feels like there should be more than one person deciding the seeds, though.

@azuarc Douse Shinundakara which is the tied most nominated song getting an expected seed of 12th really doesn't make sense and "listenability" + "interesting" seems biased if it's just you. Why not use Challonge or something to determine the seeds and then adjust from there?

Someone already bumped it so I'm willing to give it up for now. Some of my other nominations also aren't in the top 128 but I'm keeping them just in case, so I could come back to Terra later.

@Advokaiser

Mortvia Aqueduct [...] Abandoned Castle [...] Castlevania 1 through 4, Curse of Darkness, and Judgment, with other favorites from the ones I haven't played like SotN (Dracula's Castle; Tragic Prince), Portrait of Ruin (Victorian Fear; Jail of Jewels; Iron Blue Intention), and Order of Ecclesia (Rhapsody of the Forsaken).

Abandoned Castle is good too but I prefer Mortvia Aqueduct very slightly. I also doubled Simon Belmont's Theme from IV and Cross a Fear from RoB, and singled Bloodlines from RoB. I also just noticed that I only nominated 4 tracks from Castlevania, and Praying Hands and New Messiah are already doing well.

My first doubles don't seem to be getting any traction, so I could remove both and then (a) double Abandoned Castle and double Home Sweet Grave, (b) double Bloodlines and Abandoned Castle, (c) something else that I forgot, or (d) yet another thing. It really depends.

Since I've already nominated 5 Castlevania songs, I have pretty much no idea what song to ditch in favor of Bloodlines. I guess I'll just have to wait...

+ Guilty Gear Isuka | Home Sweet Grave |

My man.

I doubled Cross a Fear instead of Bloodlines because it's less appreciated, and I want to see how Mortvia Aqueduct does. I really want Bloo- no, literally every Castlevania song I like to get in though.
