I dont feel strongly about either in match 1 enough to vote

I wish Flutter focused more on the melody. I can never really tell what it really is, and when it does go more melodic, it feels fairly generic, like it's copying some other song. Electrical Communication is pretty generic too, but in a 90s anime way that I actually like. <_< It maybe be no Just Communication, but it's fun throughout.

Zero Gravity Area actually kinda reminds me of Flutter, though there's a bit more going on. Navi Customizer feels like one of those songs that should've had a 30 second loop...

VGM with lyrics is always an uphill battle for me, doubly so if it's a language I don't speak, so Flutter is an easy choice even if I think it maybe gets a little too busy at times. Zero Gravity Area is probably my favorite non-8-bit song in the entire franchise, so even though I like Navi Customizer a decent amount, it's an easy choice there too.

Navi Customizer ~Free Mode~ (Mega Man Battle Network 3)

Match 1 has some of the most unique songs in the contest, kinda sad I have to vote against one of these

Match 2 is also great, flipping my vote from the favorites bracket for a song I would likely support in a hypothetical GBA music contest

Finally, a day where most of the songs aren't 30 seconds long. Both songs in match 2 are fun, and Navi Customizer is just plain cool. Its opponent was not very good though. Good day.

Navi Customizer > Electrical Communication > Flutter vs. Gesellschaft >>>>> Zero Gravity Area

My ear is still a mess; seeing as I don't know Flutter vs. Gesellschaft, it's not fair for me to vote.

I nominated Zero Gravity Area - one of my all-time favorites. Navi Customizer is cool too and was one of my supports. Good match!

While I don't like it as much as more faithful remixes or the original, this RockMen version is still fantastic with its acoustic instruments. I'm down for it to sweep the entire contest, hell yeah. EC is good, I don't think I'm rocking with it though. I like this xylophone-ish pad thingy and how the chorus is sung. I think I can look forward to either song winning, but Flutter gets my vote.

This melody is catchy! Yeah, I'm starting to see why people love Network Transmission, that's two banger discoveries by now. Pretty nice track. Navi Customizer in the other hand, it's really soothing and has some great sections into it. Very hard choice here. Hmm... picking Navi, why not. Let me be clear I love both, though!

Pretty strong day, hell yeah.

i love both flutter and electrical communication and at first would have chosen flutter but i am starting to love communication more i think
shocking news! supersweep fan loves supersweep! navi customizer has a good few things to love about it though, although for some reason despite being exactly the kinda thing i'd LOVE i just kinda end up liking it less than i should. it has a lot of great parts though and i do think its really great, to the point of feeling guilty for voting against it despite absolutely preferring the other song

Holy fuck I fucking love this song. From the fake-out intro to the guitar and the keyboard. It almost feels too short that's how much I like it.

Electrical Communication really goes all over in the beginning. It's cheesy, I kinda like it. I remember when it first popped up I was wondering if anime music was actually allowed and I somehow missed the memo lol. Still no Flutter vs Gesellschaft to me, but not bad either.

Match 2 I am immediately dreading! Both of these were wholeheartedly supported by me. Zero Gravity Area is this fun interplay because the twinkly starry sounds and the main, groovy melody. Really has this great spacey flavour. Hosoe <3

I love the breezy sound of this intro, the way the breakbeat then kicks in. Ahhh. I think that Mega Man music as a whole doesn't do much for me is because a lot of it feels very high energy, very loud. Stuff like this (and the original this is a remix of!) I really appreciate. I think it's part of why I love the MMBN OSTs so much. Despite my need for more chill beats to defeat Wily to, I'm going for Zero Gravity Area, but man this match was hard. Like what the fuck Andy.

Interesting split between people who think this is a good day and those who think it's weak. I think it's strong myself, I don't care for Elec Comms but am fond of the other 3.

If it's any consolation, this was a sad match for me as well!

Man, these songs are much closer than I thought. Everything here is pretty good to me, though my votes just barely edge out their opponents. I'll be satisfied with whoever wins here!
