Well damn. Three more nominations gone, lost two in the first round, and one in the prelims.

I still have two left, it's not over yet!!

Cheers.

Bah, I just missed voting for about half of the round 5 pairings. =.=" Schoolwork's heavy at the moment; I don't think I'll post comments for the rest of the pairings this round. I wanted to try and comment in every pairing but oh well. =/

Ciao.

It's good to hear this! We all like to put new life into these contests each year with some new music. Hopefully SotW helped to further influence this. You can thank Drakken and folks for putting this contest on this year.

Cheers.

Updated with final Round 2 standings. Stats to come when I have a spare moment, but expect a steep drop in the number of ties for ties and average participants.

Ciao.

Wow...just wow. The defeats listed above is enough to qualify as bullshit, but the fact that all of the Brawl tracks have been eliminated in two rounds is just unbelievable.

However, we still have some Mario Galaxy tracks still in there so all hope has not been lost yet.

Cheers.

Well, considering how, in the case of the Persona track, the Brawl song is the suck? I don't have a problem.

Ciao.

As glad as I am for Rain of Blossoms to go on...Dammit, I've played Brawl so much over the past 2 months and Final Destination is something I wouldn't be able to vote against. Sorry to see that and Meta Knight go out in round 2 (although I normally find round 2 is when a lot of interesting tracks I think will go far end up going out).

Cheers.
