It’s the top 512! All songs are off of bye; can the victors of last round hold their own against the cream of the crop?

To inform our newcomers (and remind some veterans!) the playoffs works slightly different than the group stages. Matchups are now 1v1 single elimination. Vote in as many (or as few) matches as you want. Ties will be broken by me; otherwise I will no longer be voting. You can see something resembling a bracket here.

Since it’s the playoffs, groups will be active until 9:00 AM Pacific the day after they post1Or the Monday after, for Friday groups, i.e. for roughly 24 hours. You can listen to a playlist of today’s songs (in matchup order) here.

Please listen to both songs in a match before voting. Especially in these early playoff rounds; we don’t want songs advancing on reputation alone.

Or you can work ahead!

Fun Stats!
[spoiler]

Our top 3 stand tall at 13 games each. All 3 games had perfect rounds, though they were heavily protected via byes. Will they fare as well with nowhere to hide?

Some of our other top games could have used hiding places, as Splatoon 2 loses 5 of 11, Streets of Rage 4 loses 5 of 10, No Straight Roads loses 5 of 8, and Kingdom Hearts III loses a whopping 7 of 9. No huge surprises on the departing games line though, with Afterparty and Everything the biggest losers, departing from 3 games each.
