God damn it, if only that other person didn't get it.

This went much better than i expected. There's quite a lot of games I've never really heard of or played. I probably would have gotten even more if i thought to go look in the vgm tourney threads since a couple of these were in them. Anyway this was really fun, I hope sometime I could show off my taste in music by running it someday.

Congratulations to RednGreen and all the other participants.




Oh shit! I knew I had hear 24 and 27. Can't believe I didn't get 24 especially. Should have known 15 as well but whatever.

God darn i knew i had heard 12 before! Also MROB-6720m is very similar to GENE 163-1425 So i hope i got points for that :p
Also to quote little miss marshmallow:

I didn't know a lot of these songs, so I'm quite happy with how I placed! Congrats to the winners! :)

Though, wasn't I the only one who guessed #21?
Wow! Looking through the list of games, no wonder I knew next to nothing from this round. I've only ever played two of the games on that list (well three, but it's probably been a good 15-20 years since I've played OutRun) and of those two games, I knew the song from one: Crystalis' track. I'd think my lack of familiarity with the posted games would be the issue, but looking through the results and seeing 7 songs with a whopping 0 correct guesses is definitely telling of the difficulty of this round compared to last. That's just shy of a fifth of the entire list. o_O To add, there's not a single song that managed at least a 50% success rating - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl almost made it.

I understand people may feel adding in some "easy" tracks can be considered too much of a gimmie, but easy tracks can help bring in more contestants. 14 entries compared to the first contest's 49 is evident of that. Like myself, I can only assume a lot of people were turned off by a list full of obscure music? But on the bright side, as I said in the original thread, looks like there's some new music I can now check out. So, cheers for that...I suppose....
Fun fact: I kept on confusing #36 with this song because they sounded kind of similar...though now that I listen to them some more, they're actually different, aren't they. Oh well.

Anyway, I have a suggestion for scoring the next time we do this: Points awarded depend on how many people identify each song. For example:

Above 40% - 1 point
20% - 40% - 2 points
Below 20% - 3 points
1 person - 4 points

In other words, instead of trying to guess beforehand which songs will be easy or hard, just let the data speak for itself.

Also, we should consider selecting 5-10 extra songs for a tiebreaker round.

This second SYTYKVGM was definitely harder for me, I'm actually quite surprised I won. Congratulations to MetaKnight 3 and to the other participants as well! And thanks for the prize :3
That was definitely harder than your typical blind test. Good thing, it was a fun challenge, and it's actually surprising I finished third.
I didn't get Mario Golf though. That's kinda a shame :(

Definitely gonna be in for the next one.
I'm actually glad I missed this one because I only got DK64 and Etrian Odyssey. Like why would you pick the worst donkey kong the worst pokemon the worst zelda and who the heck turns music on in Civ5 what is wroNG WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I recognized 35 as a paper mario game but it was so obscure I actually thought it was from the only one I didn't play (stickinyourstar)

Also I recognized Crystalis because of projared but no way I'd have remembered it by myself.

Like seriously pick some easier stuff next time. It makes it more fun for everyone involved !! Also some games you may consider super easy and well-known probably have lesser-known tracks and these are the most fun to figure out for participants. 31 and 35 were good choices for example.

bitch please, Civilization has won awards for the music, even a Grammy Award! You can't tell me civ music is bad when there's so many people and sites and award ceremonies saying otherwise.

come at me bro, I had valid resoning behind the songs i picked, want to nitpick any of them and i'll happily provide you an explaination as to why i picked them (though i can't do the same for Derpy's/Excavator's picks)
I chose songs I liked. I intentionally chose some that were more obscure, and I picked a couple from popular series but on games that weren't as well known for their music. SNN did the same thing in his when he chose a song from YNI.
