PLEASE LISTEN TO BOTH SONGS IN A MATCH BEFORE VOTING

Voting will be live until Monday, July 18th at 9:00AM Pacific

Fun Stats!

[spoiler]

We enter the top 32 with Shovel Knight in pole position, as has been the case the whole way through. Our 2-song tier just below is an eclectic mix; Super Mario 3D World and Undertale were expected to be here all along. Drakengard 3 and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel weren’t, really. And Sonic: After The Sequel is the biggest surprise of the tournament for me. Y’all really love that little fangame. Me too tbh.

Mario Kart 8 is the biggest shocker here, falling from a strong 3 song position last round to fully out of it. I’m also personally a bit sad that The Flame in The Flood won’t be making top 32. It was such a unique sound and it deserved to go just a little further.
