VOTING RULES

- Each match will be between the songs representing each game, not the game as a whole. Please remember to listen and vote with this in mind! Any votes referring to a game name rather than a song name will not be counted. You have been warned!
- Listen to both songs!! If one is your literal favorite song in the world and the other is something you hate with a passion, listen to them both!!
- Do NOT vote for "Undertale (song)". Don't do it!!! I swear to dog if you do it I will turn this car around and there will be no dinner tonight!
- No alts, no rallying, no begging for something to get more votes, etc., etc., you know the drill.
- If you change your mind and would like to swap your vote, you may do so. As soon as it is 24 hours since the match topic was started, you may not change your vote and new votes will not be counted.
- If you would like to vote in advance for matches you know you will miss, please let me know in the discussion topic.

was thinking I might wind up "flipping" to vote XCX wir fliegen until those vocals started then easy decision. but also revenge of arka noid is real nice too so this might've still been my vote regardless but it woulda been closer

Terraria Calamity - Servants of the Scourge (TC is officially a cheater)
Undertale - Undertale

Will vote in the snubs match later... even though I said that two days ago, and I failed to do that. A tiebreaker resulted. But I'm kind of glad it's a tiebreaker as I wasn't sure which one to vote for.

Granado Espada - It's Not Over: 7.
vs.
Terraria Calamity - Servants of the Scourge: 5.5.

and

Celeste - Mirror Temple (Mirror Magic Mix): 5.5.
vs.
Undertale - Undertale: 7.5.

and

Xenoblade Chronicles X - Wir fliegen: 4.5. Boy those vocals really sucked the life out of this song at the start. It eventually recovers a bit though. Still feels like this weird combo of pop and...I don't even know what, but it's not coming together for me. Those drums are too loud goodness.
vs.
Arkanoid DS - REVENGE OF ARKANOID: 7.5.
everybody
rock your body
everybody
rock your body right
arkanoid's back
all right

Terraria Calamity - Servants of the Scourge
Undertale - Undertale
Xenoblade Chronicles X - Wir fliegen

MATCH 1

This match makes me feel nostalgic about VGMC13. Still can't wait for the next one! Anyway, I still like It's Not Over's somber piano and guitar, but Servants of the Scourge definitely brings more to the table for me.

MATCH 2

I'm forgetting at this point which songs have shown up and which songs haven't lol. I think Mirror Temple has? Anyway, Mirror Temple's nice and chill, but here, I like the coziness of Undertale (song) more. Also, I thought we were supposed to add (song) at the end of the vote form! Why do the rules say we can't add it now?!? Just a joke in case it wasn't obvious

MATCH 3

I mentioned this in the discord server the other day, but man Wir fliegen such a great song to be used as the alt! Just a really nice song from start to finish. Specific things about the song that I like the most would be the acoustic guitar from 0:14-0:27 where it's the most prominent as well as the chorus. 1:57-2:13 too, on the subject of the vocals.

REVENGE OF ARKANOID is interesting, but ultimately not my thing. Just don't particularly care much for this weird funky sound. I think in the right context, it can work for me, but not here.

Wir fliegen > Servants of the Scourge > It's Not Over > Undertale > Mirror Temple (Mirror Magic Mix) > REVENGE OF ARKANOID

It's Not Over
Mirror Temple (Mirror Magic Mix)
Wir fliegen

All of these matches hurt but the 2nd one mostly because Celeste is apparently losing
