Unofficial Results, Day 17:

Fairyland Beginning > Got a Pain Cover?, 22-15
Birth of a New Witch < J-E-N-O-V-A, 14-24
Space Dojo 2 < Shevat, the Wind is Calling, 16-21

I must have missed a vote, because I have 1 less than that in each match, but the results are the same. Each of these matches was close until the end, and then got kinda streaky for one side.

Results, day 18:
Hidra Heteromycin > Lullaby of Deserted Hell, 19-13
Reflection (Mirror Night) > Chaos, 19-12
fake me < Tunnel Vision, 11-19

Light day for votals. I know I can't complain when I didn't even remember to vote myself. (Dunno about the side bracket, but I would have voted for both winners.) Funny that all three winners had 19 votes, against a different number of opposed votes.
---

First day I miss so far.

Not bad...
---

guys ur breaking my heart =(

Oh well, Tunnel Vision is also really good so I can't be too sad.

*Considers not nominating Touhou songs anymore*

*Immediately dismisses this consideration*
---

Lullaby is still a good track! It just got fed to an even better one R1, is all

It's OK. I think we still have one alive...?

len'en will be the future of touhou in this contest, somehow

With rftm and lullaby out, len'en is all that's left.

Save us G Free

Hey, I like that one. I could get behind-

*checks match, sees Scrap I/O*

-sorry you're on your own. >_>
---

I really like G Free

unfortunately its opponent is very good at beating songs I really like
---

Fuck you azu
---

Oh my God, I just finished listening to yesterday's songs and I have to say that is one of the best days so far. All songs were amazing (with the exception of Tunnel Vision, which is alright), and Hydra Heteromycin might be among my top 3 favorite discoveries of the contest (Cosmic Hero and J-E-N-O-V-A up there as well).

Hydra Heteromycin > fake me > Lullaby of Deserted Hell > Reflection (Mirror Night) > Chaos > Tunnel Vision

Okay, time for today's match!
---

Results, day 19:
The Azure Arbitrator > Resurrections, 22-14
Light of Nibel > ENDYMION, 21-14
Preserved Valkyria > Innocence and Emptiness, 22-14

That consistency. 3:2 ratios across the board.
---

Nice mathematically-almost-perfect results.
---

results, day 20:
I'll Save You All My Justice < Moonsiders 1st, 16-17
Vagrant Vines < Hopes and Dreams, 10-22
Scramble!! > Dadadadadadadadadada, 17-15

Two very close matches. I'm pretty sure I have the correct count, but I've been fact-checked nearly every single day, and one vote might make a difference here. Assuming these results stand, I'll fix "scramble"'s name in the next round.

And thank you to the people who voted for my poor side bracket nom in the bonus poll.

looks good to me
---

wait how the hell did dadada almost win that? i mean its opponent wasn't particularly great but that thing is a disaster.
---

I'd've preferred both songs to advance
---

Missed another day... I'll listen to them later on to see what I missed.
---

Holy cow, yesterday's side match was easily the best match so far in the contest! Also, Hopes and Dreams is the best Undertale song I've heard so far (haven't played the game yet, just the demo).

Scramble!! > Dadadadadadadadadada >> Hopes and Dreams >> Moonsiders 1st >>> I'll Save You All My Justice >> Vagrant Vines

Okay, time for today's matches.
---

Rhythm game song lost. Good day.
---

woo Scramble!!/Nico's Theme 1/Final Battle/etc. I didn't expect it to win here and had been thinking that perhaps I should've prioritised getting the final stage theme from QP Shooting in as my first pick instead. Glad I didn't need to worry.

oh God no (and I say this as the nominator)

as the person who nominated the other len'en song that was nominated (before giving up on it)

embrace the inevitable

also screw G Free

Results, day 21:
Inferno (Cinder's Theme) > Azalea Town/Blackthorn City, 24-11
kyokugen da!! < Rivellon, 16-19
Simon Belmont's Theme > Long Way Down, 29-5

kyokugen and Rivellon was a close match to decide who (probably) gets to lose to Inferno next round. Both good songs. Theme of Simon registers the blowout of the contest, which is funny since it's not even that great a track.

it's a lot better than bloody tears at least

and it was against a pretty awful song that made me think nu-metal

Results, day 22:
Ar-ciel Ar-manaf > Transformer Robot Sing Wheels On The Bus, 23-12
Sunleth Waterscape < Zenith, 15-21
Clap Your Hands < Diptera Sonata, 13-22

Poor Transformer Robot. You were too good for this contest. And man, Diptera Sonata committed the most devastating reversal I've ever seen. Clap Your Hands was doubling DS initially, and then went 5-18 down the stretch.

By that argument, DS was infinity-ing CYH. I was talking at 8-4.

Ugh this contest

Results, day 23:
Id ~ Purpose > STULTI, 26-10
Fateful Confrontation > Like a Night of Falling Stars Stage4, 23-13
Yoru < The Queen of Soldier, 11-22

First two matches went as planned, setting up the purpose of this fourpack as a fateful confrontation for Fire Emblem prior to round 4. In the side bracket, people voted for the non-youtube song. To my shame, I had to DQ my own vote because I wasn't voting on Yoru over the correct song. GG playlist, GG.
---

you only gamed yourself gg
---

STULTI didn't die as hard as I thought it would so I'm somehow happy

I'm actually pretty disappointed there aren't that many super close matches this year
---

There will be.
---

Results, day 24
Spear of Justice < Glass, 10-23
Twilight of the Gods < Cloudscapes and Speed, 15-19
Dark Prison > Obstacles, 20-12

Glass doubling SoJ completely blindsided me. There goes maybe my only chance to have an entire division go by the seeding. And everyone laugh at Barreldragon and Pyresword for voting for S-T-D's.
---

S-T-D's?
---

Spear of Justice
Twilight of the Gods
Dark Prison

It's because we voted for the good songs.
---

And of course people don't want the good songs to do well
---

I guess that I voted for all the "bad" songs
---

Well I'd only consider describing one of the songs from that day as bad, to be fair, and ultimately I probably wouldn't even say it for that song.

Oh man, today's the day (finally!). What will people think of WSPC?

Results, day 25:
Botanic Panic < End of All (Land), 14-23
Scrap I/O > G Free ~ Final Dream, 19-18
Count of Darkness > Swamps, 20-15

This was a wild one to track the votes for. Both Botanic Panic and G Free started off with a commanding lead, on the order of 10-3. Then, somebody flipped the switch, and instead of voting for those two, everyone started voting for End of All and Scrap I/O. G Free nearly mounted a comeback at the end, but End of All never looked back. First time in a while we've had a really tight match, down to the buzzer, though.

---

So close.
---

well i no longer have any confidence in Scrap I/O to do anything in this tournament. this might be the last year i bother nominating it.

Really? G Free lost to Scrap I/O; you can hardly call that strong.
