Now it’s time for the knockout rounds. We’ll be single-elimination from here on out. You can see the bracket (with results!) here
The top 128 will run from the 11th through the 14th, 32 songs a day. Groups will no longer be feathered, and will instead be open until 9:00 am Pacific the day after they go live (roughly the time the next group goes live). You can listen to a playlist of today’s songs (in matchup order) here, or listen to the entire top 128 here. You can find all 4 groups in the spoiler.

Another tie! Earthbound’s “Happy-Happy is Blue” is interestingly offbeat, but in the end it just couldn’t stand up to Skate or Die 2’s weird little main theme. Am I overrating it because of the novelty of voice over on the NES? Probably!
