Firstly, thanks go to 3thmthm for originally creating this topic before passing it over to me. Alas thanks to the server wipe both his and my original topics are gone, so I thought I'd mention that first.

Rules:

1. You have 48 hours 72 hours (as of CONTEST B's start) to vote before the selection changes.

2. Tiebreakers only happen if the offending tracks have 2 or more votes each. For example, if a section of a soundtrack only gets three votes all for different tracks, that section will be eliminated rather than waste time with a tiebreaker on the grounds of it clearly not having any tracks popular enough to win.

3. Tiebreakers are 24 48 hours long and the first to two votes wins as of CONTEST B's start, the first to reach a certain number of votes wins. This number will be one less than the total number of votes that track recieved. If no track wins in 24 hours, I reserve the right to choose the winner using whatever unbiased logic I can, but if this isn't possible, personal opinion.

4. Remember this is a vote for music, not your favourite level or scene.

5. You may change your vote at any time using the edit post function. I will only count up votes at the end of each round.

6. If there is a category in a current round that you are unfamiliar with (mostly commonly cut-scene music categories) feel free not to vote in them. The sections you DO vote for still count.

7. Final Rounds for a category last 72 hours. (As of CONTEST B's start, all rounds are 72 hours long).

8. Where applicable, you may pre-vote for a decider round (on a song considered as it's own, but with multiple versions (e.g, act 1 and act 2) in existence. You may use this idea to vote for a certain track twice to give it a little extra push to make it to the decider round. For detailed rules and instructions see the first half of this post.

Current Round:

Round 47 - The Best Chaos Theme

ROUND ENDS 9th/8th September @ 3:00am GMT/7:00pm PST

Please vote for up to 2 songs.

Chaos ver.0, 2, 4 (from Sonic Adventure)

Chaos ver.6 (from Sonic Adventure)

Perfect Chaos Revival! (from Sonic Adventure)

"Chaos" (from Sonic X)

Chaos Battle (from Sonic Battle)

-If you can think of any Chaos themes that I have not listed here, feel free to suggest them and I will add them if they seem applicable.

-The conditions for being an "Chaos" theme here, is that it must be a song that represents Chaos or it's appearence within a Sonic game, or be clearly marked as being a theme for Chaos.

This is just a mini bump as the topic seems to have gone unnoticed judging by the viewcount. Once again, if the people who voted before the server wipe could repost their votes that'd be awesome. Oh, and of course you can vote even if you didn't do so in this round before the wipe, lol.

...Can't vote this round; never played this game, so I'm waiting for the Advance 3 round to start.

[Wyde]

Guess I'll just repeat my votes from the last attmpt to get my say before the wipe. Yay post count

~Central City

~Tail's Lab

~Phi Battle

~Dr. Eggman

~Mode Select

For a while, I thought I'd be the only one to vote Mode Select. Glad I was wrong. ^^

[JezMM]

Under 24 hours left to vote: current finalists are only Phi Battle and Mode Select however as we have 1 vote clashes on all other categories (thus a first to two points tiebreaker would be pointless).

[Illuminous_Orb]

Guess I'll vote again as well.

Might be a bit redundant to say so at this point, but I feel I have to mention this, looking at some of the votes:

Please vote for ONE track per section.

And for my second point:

Please vote for ONE track per section.

lol emphasis

[JezMM]

Ah yes, indeed, Midnight Echidna, your vote is invalid. Blue Kirby, yours is fine, I just remembered to add in the rule at the top that you can ignore categories you're unfamiliar with.

This is a bit extra annoying because it sorted out the tie of the arena themes. Unfortunately I'll have to resort to using bias here by sacrificing my own arena vote and changing it to Club Rouge. I apologise greatly but it just seemed wrong not to have any arena themes.

Round 22 - Sonic Battle (Final Vote)

Please vote for ONE track.

I love Sonic Advance 3's music (Y)

[Wyde]

Yay moar GBA sonic games. I'd like to think I was quite familiar with the soundtrack by now, so I'll offer my votes for best tunes in the game evar:

~Sunset Hill Map

~Ocean Base Act 1

~Cyber Track Act 2

~Route 99 Act 3

~Non-Aggression/EX-Boss

~Vs-BGM 7 (If not possible, Ending

Also, for the sake of completing the compilation of looping songs, I reckon you should put in Vs-BGMs 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 9 as candidates for the vote. Possibly Invincibility as well. Guesses are though that they won't get too many votes, so it's up to you really.

My bad, I don't actually have the game on me at the moment, so I only had the soundtrack I downloaded to refer to, which didn't include these tracks. Any chance you could link me to a full list?

I don't think there's much point, considering I have the game pretty much in my left hand at the moment, and I can confirm that everything else that hasn't been mentioned is jingles and sound effects. Aside from, after a double check, Time Attack Retry. The should be all if my spider senses hold true. Otherwise, look here for a list of everything.

Oh, and don't try to download music from here. It won't work nowadays for some reason.

Edited March 9, 2009 by Wyde

[JezMM]

Ah, thanks a lot. I've added them in, though obviously haven't done descriptions because I don't have the tracks handy to check/guess their use in VS (never managed to play anything other than single-cart versus on any of the Advance games, alas).

Anyone who wishes to change their vote to one of these added tracks can simply edit their post, I don't count votes til the end of the round.

Hub Theme: Chaos Angel Map

Act 1 Theme: Chaos Angel Act 1

Act 2 Theme: Ocean Base Act 2

Act 3 Theme: Twinkle Snow Act 3

Boss Theme: Nonagression

Other: Special Stage

I consider Sonic Advance 3 to have one of the best soundtracks of all Sonic games to date.

[JezMM]

24 hours left to vote. Current finalists for Sonic Advance 3 are: Twinkle Snow Map, Ocean Base Act 1/Chaos Angel Act 1, Ocean Base Act 2, Nonaggression.

Act 3 themes and Other themes are currently a 1-vote tie and need resolving to get into the final vote.
