Alrighty, so now that I fixed the totals, let's add some more totals!



...vincentw, Lisek, and Oni-91 in a lower tier?? What? What's going on here?

I'll be honest, PURELY because of Hard, I played the files in the opposite direction (so Feraligatr vs. ledgam3r1279, then brunobg24 vs. Loodee...). I ran into 3 REALLY good brackets and then after that things just started getting mediocre and not all that impressive like some people seem to believe. Beware of my lonely opinions haha.

Okay, totals.

Holy crap Feraligatr's steamrolling his bracket. Dynamite had some problems but I didn't think they'd be THIS bad. I'm actually surprised ledgam3r1279 has 0... He's usually pretty good! ... In any case, sorry, led... ;-;

Oh, by the way, I honestly want Feraligatr to win the whole contest. He's the only one who made it to Round 2 whose sims I have consistently enjoyed/gave points to. It'll probably be someone like bruno/Gameoson/Telperion but that's who I want to win.

As always, my comments are available here. Be warned, though, I don't really have anything to say for many files this week like I did with round 1 and the qualifiers.

I'm sorry, but to everyone who complained that there are "too many jumps" (I assume you're referring to the chart, but maybe and are included too, I don't know), please explain why. Is there a certain section in particular that needs to be changed? Is there some kind of stigma against jumps that I don't know about? Has this ever been a problem with songs like 隅田川夏恋歌 or Fascination ~eternal love mix~ ? I'm just confused about where this is coming from, because I don't recall hearing anything like this before.

---

Fascination ~eternal love mix~ is not exactly well-loved, and if 隅田川夏恋歌 wasn't such a good song, the reception for the chart would probably be less positive too. I called out Unreal in my review, but I think 隅田川夏恋歌 is a slightly fairer comparison, even though it's got a much smaller proportion of jumps to taps.

Didn't I start off 4pt behind? xD I did NOT see this close of a matchup happening, especially with my file being as risky as it is. Lisek, I saw your entry and my heart dropped - your song choice is significantly better this week in my eyes. *brohug* I'm happy with whatever happens. I got a good match in

Not gonna lie, I love them both, but the hectic nature of Glitchtastic won me over. The jumps in Dynamite aren't bad, I dunno why people are angsty about them xD

If I PASS'd on your bracket, it means I found both files to be equal, and couldn't decide on a winner. Consider it a dual HM. Cannot wait to see how the rest of this round goes - there are some CRAZY close matches. Full reviews will be starting again this next week, I'll have time available again (and I can get NuVirus his full R1 review I keep forgetting to pull together...so sorry bro)

Because 少女アリスと箱庭幻想コンチェルト is the actual title of the song? Even if a simfile only has the romanized title and not the original for whatever reason, the original title is (or at least should be for consistency) shown in the totals regardless. This has been done for at least the past few contests, if I recall (including this one).

---

OK, no problem. I just got confused and spent longer than I should have looking for the right simfile to play.

I called it Alice in Mystic Garden because that's how it shows up on the Copula OST I bought.
If people are more familiar with "少女アリスと箱庭幻想コンチェルト" and want to use that, then I can't blame them.

tiny comments:
- I'm pretty sure that b276-b280 in Lop Nur should have been in equal 12ths.
- Gameoson vs Aegis is the toughest decision in the round imo. Huge kudos to both of you.
- My bracket looks just like me in Round 1 last year but the other way around. chewi put on a fight, that's for sure. Thanks for all the votes!

So now it goes...
