We’re hitting the point where a lot of my beloved Sonic Adventure 2 songs are going to start falling off. The joke’s on you; I’m just gonna be extra motivated to nominate more Sonic songs next time! Maybe I’ll do the lost track from Shadow The Hedgehog where they say “shit”!*
*(not a joke, that actually exists)
[/spoiler]
It’s time for group play! We have 1,086 songs in this tournament; they have been broken up into 34 groups of 322. For the group stage, vote for as many songs as you like! We’re doing things a little differently this time around. Winning your group no longer means anything; instead, songs will be ranked based on how many upvotes they got compared to how many people voted in that round.3 After all groups are done, the top 256 songs from across all groups will advance to the playoffs!
…unless! By popular demand, we’re also implementing a diversity system! If an individual game places more than 10 songs into the top 256, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 257+4 in a play-in round.
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 18 will be active until Thusday September 3rd at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 17 is active until 10:00 pm tonight; vote here. Group 19 will start Thursday and be active until Friday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
You can listen to all songs in group 18 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
You can work ahead if you like:
