VGM Guessing Contest - November edition

My exact same thoughts. I wasn't expecting this at all, but hey, I'm not complaining!
Hey, I did OK! I prepared a list on the first few days of the contest, but I forgot about it completely up until the last day. I probably should have guessed more series. I really should have gotten Startropics and named the Touhou song. And I really should have gotten A Bug's Life. Haha that game had terrible controls. I also guessed the totally WRONG song for 35, and it will spook me forever. That's all part of the fun though, right? Congratulations to all the prize winners. #ab{:)}

I'd like to ask how everyone who answered "Mappy" got #95 wrong.

I guess it was wrong because the song started with the "Insert coin" sound, which marks it as the medley instead of the arcade original. I found it weird, but I didn't think it would be a totally different song. It's just one of those gotchas I guess. It still counted as a series guess at least.
Kinda saw coming I'd be the only one to guess Mt. Vinter. Have been playing Shuffle a bit lately and checked the OST a few days before the contest, hahah! Gotta admit I wasn't expecting anyone else to guess the Medabots one. : P

Anyway, 10th place is ok, I thought I'd do worse considering many of the songs I guessed were from famous games. It was fun. :D Still pissed at 22 though. D:<
i tried so hard and got so far......

almost made it into top 5, but hey, an honourable 6th place isn't too bad i think, especially for someone who hasn't played any Mario RPGs / has played 2 Gamecube games in his lifetime / has played no Wii U games at all / etc. seems like i'm lacking a lot of newer game soundtrack knowledge...

good job and congratulations extended to those who got the big money, big profits!

0.5 points are missing from my total score, though the final ranks are correct.

Anyway, this was a fun contest.

Fun facts:
1) I guessed 67 by actually googling what I heard in the lyrics (since I have a good grasp of French).

2) I guessed 106 thanks to a PS1 demo disc (and was the only one to guess it, hooray!).

There were probably some I should've gotten, but oh well.

Wow, 3rd place! I'm pleasantly surprised, as I didn't think I'd do this well. There are a few that I'm wondering how I managed to miss, but I'm still happy.

However... Speaking of Mappy, I was going over all of the tracks again, just to hear them and check what I missed, and song #88 is most definitely Mappy (Arcade), not Pokémon X / Y. I had even compared it to YouTube gameplay video of Mappy (Arcade), and it's an exact match, as far as my ears can tell: Video

On the other hand, song #95 is Pokémon X / Y - Kalos Power Plant (which I'm shocked that I didn't figure out, but whatever). I wonder... Were songs #88 and #95 switched by accident in the download that I used? (I had downloaded from the .zip link.)

They most certainly were! I kept getting answers swapping those two answers around, but I think I gave correct rulings taking that into consideration. If I'm wrong, someone should give me a holler or something.

I stand my ground on that guessing "Mappy" for #95 is only worth a quarter of a point, on the basis that the music presented here should be their own pieces and not compilations or multiple bits strung together - it is its own standalone track in Taiko No Tatsujin Wii 2 (Do Don to Nidaime)'s song list, so ayup!
It probably would not have made much of a difference ranking-wise either way... #ab{¬_¬}

Okay, fine. Also, not that it matters to me much (since this doesn't affect my rank at all), but the score chart on page 2 of this thread shows me having 46.00 points, but the Google Sheet with all the answers shows me as having 47.5 points. Did you accidentally overlook my three sole guesses on the page 2 score chart?
Whoaaa... Not sure how that happened, but fixed now (I hope). Copying Excel-cells riddled with formulas from one place to another is risky business sometimes apparently. Thanks for noticing! @^@

I'M NOT IN LAST. \o/
Although 19th is not that good either, but y'know.


I expected I would have more unique guesses until I saw the amount of people that had entered the contest. That one Dr. Mario 64 song was one that I thought no one else would get, which it almost was. #ab{:S}

The ones that I should've remembered were 35, 46, 85 and 87. I actually heard 85 (Majora's Mask, Ikana Valley) recently too, but I didn't bother to double check the playlist. Either way, that wouldn't have done much I guess. EDIT: Should mention I went through the playlist multiple times, just not after hearing 85.

In the end, that was a fun contest. Good job, everyone!
Heh, I totally knew #22 would be some kind of trick #ab{:P}

Also, if I had played all the games on my "games to play" list, I would know... a LOT of these. Too bad there's so many of them. And unlike most people it seems, I actually listened to the list THREE times. Kind of disappointed that I missed Muffet's theme, I had actually recently watched someone do that battle but they had the audio muted.

Ah well, at least now I know what all those songs are, heh.

I'm kind of surprised nobody got Evoland 2 right o.O
It's a great game btw.

I'm happy with my result, although it is really bugging me that I didn't got #88 (Pokemon X/Y Power Plant)...

However, I think that was a really good contest with good music choices. Congrats to the winners, as usual!
I'm satisfied with my score, although there were a few I could've gotten, specifically some of the pokemon songs (and I got the wrong Professor Layton Game #tb{:(}).
But it was fun. Thanks for hosting and congrats to the winners!

Every single time I guess a song from this game I am the only one to have done so. What a veritable vgm guessing contest point goldmine it has been!
Yes very fun and challenging, thank you a lot for taking the time to compile all those result! I too was dissapointed by some music that I actually knew but failed to remember.
Sigh. Ended up busy with other things, never had a chance to sit down with the whole list after my quick initial run through, and to cap it off, missed the deadline. Oh well.

Congrats to the winners nonetheless.
Oh, well...I forgot about this.
But I guess it's ok.
Dawn upon me, morning sun... I anxiously tarry for thee, come to vanquish this horrible era of my life.

Things I am excited for:
Apparently there is nothing announced anywhere that really interests me.

Things I probably should do:
Update my profile to coincide with the new changes.
So 95 was a Japanese game or something w/the sound effects? The music sounds exactly the same so that was tricky, and I only got 1/2 point, I guess. I knew I would get last place.
(twitch) I'm sure you... (shudder) *deserved*... all the Content ID strikes you got... uploading all the MP3s to Youtube for cheating.
