@Richman
I just fuckin' might...

 

[Korsai]

@bigtiddyoneesan how much longer til' we get the results? Also, is the ".5 Tournament" gonna be a thing from now on between you and @Mr_Detective?

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@Korsai

how much longer til' we get the results?

40–60 minutes.

is the ".5 Tournament" gonna be a thing from now on between you and @ Mr_Detective?

I'm gonna go with a strong "maybe" on this one.

But yeah, I wouldn't mind hosting more tournaments in the future. The most obvious next choice would be cut versions of anime endings. If I were to host a tourney 3.5 tho, it'd probably be near the end of September or even October.

@bigtiddyoneesan
If we do an ED tournament, then I'm only gonna have a few (if any) worthwhile entries. So I may have to take a step back from that one. Otherwise, I'm all for .5 tournaments if you keep doing them to "fill the void".

The first round of the third quadrant is now over! Well, except for any ties of course, but those will be over shortly. Could there any ties? Who knows? Do I know? No, actually, my short-term memory loss can be a real bitch sometimes. Well, I guess I'll just have to find out along with the rest of you in the results below!​

And there you have it! I expected Dark Crow to sweep those dumb kids off the slope, but not by such a narrow margin.

In my eyes, Cowboy Bebop and Noragami are the two strongest in this bracket, even though there are some match-ups with wider gaps. We'll see how they do in the next round.

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@Richman
Legit, that's straight RNG. There's bound to be coincidences like that sometimes tho. Pretty funny tbh.

 

[Richman]

@bigtiddyoneesan
Roll for deception (google random number and set it to 1-20), i'll roll for insight. Post the image.

Edit: I have done my roll and i promise i will not change it.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@Richman
I roll for INT.

Spoiler

Here's what I mean by randomly generated. Fortunately I still have the values in for Quadrant 4.

Spoiler

See the numbers on the left column? They're 16 randomly generated numbers between 0 and 1, and change whenever something else in the Excel sheet is changed. I pasted the values only (meaning the numbers wouldn't change on their own anymore) of the first randomly generated set of 16 numbers into the right column, and then sorted the entire table by ascending order of the numbers in the right column, which shuffled the order of songs. This is one of the simpler methods of randomizing in Excel. Lmk if you need further explanation. (I also realized after posting this that 'Order' and 'Values' should have their names changed with each other lol, but it doesn't affect the actual outcome of the randomization.)

Time for my Phase 4 votes (in bold):

Spoiler

I'm short on time so I'll keep it mostly brief

Dragon Ball Z Kai OP - Dragon Soul vs. Haibane Renmei OP - Free Bird
No contest.

Beastars OP - Wild Side vs. BNA OP - Ready to
I was shocked how easy this one was.

Nyaruko: Crawling With Love! Second Season OP - Koi wa Chaos no Shimobenari vs. Baccano! OP - Gun's & Roses

LET'S GO BACCANO! LET'S GO! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* (Yes I'm kinda memeing. Yes I'm serious about the vote regardless.)

Gintama' OP1 - Tougenkyou Alien (Fail version) vs. Yosuga no Sora OP - Hiyoku no Hane
This is Gintama in a nutshell. If you want to show somebody why the show is so damn good, you show them this.

Protect Me, Heavenly Moon Guardian! OP - Saa! vs. Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl OP - Os-Uchuujin
Unlike "Cowboy Bebop", "Protect Me, Heavenly Moon Guardian!" is showing it age a bit too much for me to overlook.

.hack//Sign OP - Obsession vs. Rurouni Kenshin OP2 - 1/2
This one was as easy as I expected it to be. No issues in the decision for me.

Assassination Classroom Second Season OP2 - Bye Bye Yesterday vs. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion OP1 - Colors
Now we get to the pain train. Like "JINGO JUNGLE", I love "Colors" to death, but continuity must be maintained. Thus, here is my shameless self-vote of the phase. Also, sorry to @bigtiddyoneesan, but I did say that this would be a rough one, did I not?

Magical DoReMi OP - Ojamajo Carnival!! vs. Samurai Champloo OP - Battlecry
Not usually a hip-hop fan, but this OP is composed so beautifully and makes me not care at all to the point that I love it as a whole.

There you have it. My votes for Phase 4. See you guys in Round 2!

 

[Richman]

@bigtiddyoneesan
I rolled 17, so i guess you win.

I just realized i should've changed one of my submissions for the op of In/Specter, that was one of my favorites.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

Wow, the legendary LLG showed up just for my tournament!

@Korsai

Also, sorry to @ bigtiddyoneesan, but I did say that this would be a rough one, did I not?

Big words, big words. We'll see what happens. My advice to you? Give up on your dream and die.

@Richman
Get BTFO brainlet.

I never said who it would be rough for did I?

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@Korsai
Fair enough. Tbh tho, mercilessly crushing fellow weebs with my superior song choices is rough for me too.
