Welcome to another round of the Best OST Contest, where we decide the best game soundtrack by voting on the songs in it.
Match Rules: * You must listen to both songs in the match. Use the provided links. * You must vote on the songs in the match. Not the game's overall music. Not how much you like the game itself. ***VOTE ON THE SONGS*** * To help enforce rule 2, All votes must be given for the song title, not the game or the seed number. No exceptions.
Other details: * The match will last 24 hours from the time this thread is posted. Regardless of when the next day's topic goes up, or when the current topic actually gets counted and closed, votes count up to 24.0 hours after the match's beginning. * Normal contest rules apply regarding alts, rallying, multi-voting, etc. * No mid-thread tallies, or comments related to a vote count. It can influence the voters. Regardless of how excited you may be, please let things evolve naturally. * If there are two matches, you do not have to vote for both. If you want to change your vote, please identify that it is a change to your vote. Do not erase the old vote. * Advanced voting is allowed. Contact me with your vote by PM. Check the spreadsheet for the appropriate songs to listen to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoS8GGHS9FDGdFprRGpQa3ZtRGcwTTM5VTQ2SWViUGc&hl=en_US * Re-read the third rule. Votes naming only the game will not be counted.
The spirit of this contest is a bit different from what you might be used to in a contest. Upsets are expected. The tournament will be double elimination, so if your favorite game loses here, it isn't done. You can see the rest of the rules on the contest or figure out how the heck we got to where we are here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60522913
Previous results: a. Though Mortavia Aqueduct held on after a strong early surge, and even briefly held a one-vote lead, it could not match the staying power of Forest Interlude. DKC advances, 25-23. b. The Moon-Dwelling Demon, as expected, put its opponent in its place. The Landing started to get some votes toward the end to make this match less disrespectful, but this was a rout from the get-go. Ar Tonelico advances, 32-16.

I'm actually quite surprised: we're 4 matches in and so far, I've found every single song enjoyable. I was not expecting such a strong start, especially considering the better songs should come towards the end of the contest.

Dance of Abundance is pretty whatever. Battle 2 is cool
Second match is a bit closer but at the moment I like Golden Nocturne just a tiny bit more

I think you may find R2 kinda weak lol

Overall a worse day than yesterday. Golden Nocturne is pretty cool, but I'm not sure if I'd vote for it against any of the four songs from yesterday. Also, yesterday's matches were tough choices; these are mismatches.
Battle 2 Golden Nocturne

Nominate The Kid vs. The Guy (I Wanna Be The Guy) for the Greatest Gaming Rivalry Contest! [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE]
I keep listening to Battle 2, trying to hear what everyone else is hearing, it just doesn't sound all that good... Really thought Dance of Abundance was gonna run away with this one.

Golden Nocturne is pretty great, but I think I'd have a hard time deciding which to pick if the version of Bubble Man presented was the Chiptuned Rockman one:
Also, try to find links that don't randomly cut out at the end of the song.
I actually had a hard time deciding between Battle 2 and Dance of Abundance, I liked them both quite a bit. But in the end, Battle 2 appealed a little more. I actually enjoy Bubble Man, but it gets crushed by Golden Nocturne when it comes to my tastes. So that was a really easy pick for me. Both the ones I did not vote for would have been viable against other opponents though, I liked them all.

MycroProcessor posted... azuarc posted... so what am I putting you down for, exactly, Mycro? I bolded Golden Nocturne and Battle 2. I thought that made it clear enough!! Sorry!! ;_;
On my browser, for some reason, bolded text looks the same as everything else. I think it bolds everything by default. Which is also why the earlier request to bold the winners didn't exactly resonate with me.
