Another strong showing for the GBA, with MMBN 3, FFTA, FE7, and MMZ2 all represented. Also, only 16 unique voters this round, probably thanks to Labor Day. This means that each vote was extra impactful, counting for 6.25% each.

I think “Flat Zone” is one of the best Smash Bros songs ever, and I’m sad to see it fall here. Maybe Flat Zone 2 will avenge it next time?

It’s time for group play! We have 1,086 songs in this tournament; they have been broken up into 34 groups of 322Okay, the last group’s only 30. 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.3For instance, if a group had 25 unique voters, and a song in that group got 15 upvotes, it would have a ranking of 60% 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+4Skipping any songs in this group that would themselves be songs 11+ for any game in a play-in round.
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 23 will be active until Thursday September 10th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 22 is active until 10:00 pm tonight; vote here. Group 24 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 23 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
