VGMusic Contest 2 was a B8 tournament run by Ed Bellis, with some help from KleenexTissue50 and th3l3fty. The goal was to find which video game song was most loved by the board (outside of the retired songs from the first contest).
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.
