.
Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then.
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

Song lyric trivia: Step to the ledge. You're high but looking down. And if someone doesn't find you here, they could find you on the ground. But if you wanna catch the light, you've gotta reach a little more. So jump! Jump off, take flight, it ain't worth nothing if it ain't worth fighting for. And it's gonna get better. Ohhh, there's no telling where we'll go now. Go on, go on, go on and get it. Ohhh, it's getting better, better, better, better.

I think it is asking which one you want to win this four-pack and who you think will win the four-pack.

Deltarune - Chaos King
Etrian Odyssey V - The End of the Raging Waves

If you told me at the beginning of the contest (or even probably as late as the end of the first round) that I'd be voting Chaos King over New World Order I'd have laughed at you, but it's grown on me over time. End of Raging Waves wins match two in a stomp. Would be okay with any retiree from this pack except Battle.

Of this fourpack of songs, which do you think will win and which do you want to win? It's become a bit of a tradition to poll that when we reach the point where the winner of a fourpack would reach retirement.

Deltarune - Chaos King... NWO starts off super awesome (I dig whenever the violin plays on top of everything else) but I don't like the vocal melodies as much. They come across as overly dramatic (too many "high" notes). I like it overall, but Chaos King is just... wicked cool! :45 - 1:08 is my favorite part... especially with how the tonic goes from major to minor, because it makes the minor resolution that much better.

Etrian Odyssey V - The End of the Raging Waves - I enjoy the jazziness of Battle, with the walking bass and the swinging melodies. It's kind of like mixing jazz with the stereotypical Nintendo style. I prefer End of the Raging Waves, though. The guitar melody is epic. I enjoy when it stays on the 5th while the harmony changes. I really love the violin melody at :41 - 1:00, when combined with the way the harmony moves up half-steps "sort of" cycling through fifths, but most especially when it goes from the A minor to the B-flat before it ends on the temporary modulation to G major. Really cool. The sound mixing isn't the greatest, though, I'll admit... still, I love it overall!

Granblue Fantasy - New World Order
Etrian Odyssey V - The End of the Raging Waves


Very easy matches for me compared to yesterday, but 3/4 songs today I think are very good (the other one I still like, but wouldn't be called "very good" by me).

MATCH 1

New World Order is my favorite song in Bracket B, so needless to say, I love it a lot. Chaos King just pales in comparison, unfortunately. I like Chaos King, but it's not the most amazing song ever and is definitely my lowest ranking song up today. Decent song, but like I said, can't outshine New World Order.

MATCH 2

Less easy match here than in the first match, but still a no-brainer for me. Pretty similar things happening here compared to match 1. I like Battle quite a bit--definitely more than Chaos King--but The End of the Raging Waves is yet another favorite of mine in Bracket B. I'd say it would most likely be in the top 5 for me out of all the songs in Bracket B. So, The End of the Raging Waves is the clear winner here for me.

New World Order > The End of the Raging Waves > Battle > Chaos King

Tough second match. Would likely actually take the original End of Raging Waves, or the other EO song that got in over this.

New World Order
The End of the Raging Waves

NWO grew on me a heck of a lot since last round! I still have no idea what the girl says in her lyrics, but the song is well put-together and interested me a lot more than Chaos King today.

I am DISPROPORTIONATELY invested in Raging Waves among what remains of the bracket. please make me proud

9. Granblue Fantasy - New World Order (8.5) (for/over Full Base)

vs.

18. Deltarune - Chaos King (7.5) (over Scene Shifts There, The Red Locus)

New World Order would probably be a 9 or even 9.5 if the vocals were different. Particularly when they first appear, they're...really not great. When the singers sing together it's much better, but those separate verses are really bad, and it's enough to drop the song considerably for me (I initially voted Full Base before a subsequent relisten caused New World Order to grow on me). But by the time of the chorus, it's all good and really solid, just a great listen. Shame about the beginning. Chaos King is also really cool. Unlike a lot of the other comments throughout the contest, the deep chiptune intro is my favorite part. I also like a lot of the grungy "evil" "unclean" aspects. It's a shame Chaos King had to run into NWO, as I'd vote for it over both songs in the second match (this has been happening a lot!).

and

31. Gokinjo Boukentai - Battle (6.5) (over A. Rene)

vs.

52. Etrian Odyssey V - The End of the Raging Waves (3.5) (for The Darkness Crawling)

I don't understand the hype around Battle. It's a fun, jazzy, bouncy track, but it feels like a totally random SNES/SFC track to get behind. The End of the Raging Waves is overblown bombast and it does next to nothing for me. Easy match!

New World Order
The End of the Raging Waves


So glad I could barely vote today.

Match 1:

This one was way closer than I expected, but the winner was still pretty clear.

Match 2:

Why on earth is Gokinjo STILL ALIVE?! Other than that, sweet rock is always appreciated.
