VGMusic Contest 3

VGMusic Contest is a B8 tournament ran by Ed Bellis with some helps from th3l3fty where different video games music face off with each other and users vote on which song is the objectively superior song to advance to the next round (while the inferior song is eliminated) to face another song that has been pronounced to be objectively superior in the round prior... and so on until only one remains!

Rules
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. I don’t care if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate - Listen. To. Both. Then vote. It’s only fair. (If I have suspicions you are not doing this, your vote may not count any longer, so watch it!)

- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).

- Topic lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isn’t up by then.

- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different games.

- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, that's cool - there are links available. Just post it in the discussion/bracket topic.

- Please don't post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match. I don't want people changing their votes based on the results.
