Rules:
- Listen to both songs in a given match, at least through the loop time provided (to make sure you don't skip before you've heard the whole thing!)

- If it's a match between your favorite song ever and a song you despise, still LISTEN TO BOTH! Votes can and will be disqualified if there is suspicion songs are not being listened to, and you may be discounted for the rest of the contest for repeat offenses.
- No alt accounts, no rallying or begging, etc., etc.... You only get one vote! Swapping votes is alright, just make clear that you've already made a vote and are swapping.
- Make clear what your voting options are! Please keep votes separate from any comments, and use the titles given in the topic post.
- Voting in all matches is not mandatory, feel free to skip matches you do not wish to vote in.
- Vote based on the links provided, and not other sources of audio. Links are specifically chosen for best quality and the like.
- Don't discuss vote tallies in this thread, or in other threads, as they may influence votes. Likewise, please refrain from looking at the running tally before voting.

- Today's matches will last 24 hours from the time of posting, or 24 hours from 10pm Eastern, whichever is the later time.

Match 2 is the culmination to a brutal and extremely stacked corner, and the final match is similarly difficult. I'm staying with Empty Tome, one of my favorites of the contest, but the sole thought of Dancing Mad retiring truly excites me! May the best song win. Also small mention to the first match because it exists I guess.

Going 0/2 today probably but that's okay after I just got two support retirees including my vgmc 16 nom, Staff Roll!
Round 2 is such a banger. Empty Tome and Dancing Mad both deserve it. A damn shame there can only be one.

Un Deux Trois
Dancing Mad

I've really started to appreciate the phantasy Star song here, which is a shame because I do prefer Un Deux Trois, although only by a bit.
Dancing Mad is always hard for me to form a full opinion on because Movement 1 and 4 are AMAZING and the rest is like good at best to boring at worst. An Empty Tome is really good but i don't think its exactly as good as dancing mad, unlike a good few other castlevania songs I know that would probably beat it for me imo

Un Deux Trois
An Empty Tome

I easily wish for both songs in Match 1 to retire, it hurts that I can't go for both here.

Empty Tome's still a neat song, and I still really only care for Movements 1 and 4 for Dancing Mad, so the choice here is easy for me.

Song of Mourning: The Eternal Wind
An Empty Tome

My opinion of Dancing Mad has not improved by listening to it for the fourth time in a row, quite the opposite in fact. Even with half of it cut out it still gets repetitive. I feel like the compositional ambition of the song is held back by the SNES sound.

Everything's Alright
