Super curious how bolted does against MMX in this poll, heh.
What I said last round:
Dot Robot - Some of the line art is excellent, but we're not in the business of still images. We make videos. This reads mostly like a video of someone walking through an art gallery of paintings they've done. No from me. X
Fritz - Some of the syncs are fun but it's an omnitrack with mostly fling quirk and little thought to structure or purpose. X
Manual Mayhem X - Hard to decide whether to vote for this one this round. I realized though, that while it's not a terribly interesting overarching theme, it coheres decently and there are very few weak moments. That and the DNA is enough to get another vote from me. √
Unusuals - I really love this track. I know, the first bit is way different from the last stuff but they flow well enough into each other that IMO it works. √
Funk - I find this track strikingly unmemorable. X
Overdrive - Incredibly generic manuquirk. No. X
Cheat Aerial - I still don't understand how some of those two sides manuals work. Really awesome track. I think I'd actually vote for this over flashkick after watching them both in close proximity in this tournament. √
Multiverse - I realized on second watch how heavy this is on fling quirk. So much so that the dense sections, the XY, and the 45 degree section and feel really random. And the fling quirk is too fast paced for me to appreciate. The vast majority of things are maintained for less than half a second and it's just incredibly hard to see any rhyme or reason to it all. X
Valence 2 - This track has its moments, but eh. It's a fling quirk, what else is there to say about it? X
Supersonic Motion - Really solid execution, really entertaining. And the ending takes the cake. √
Serein - I can't seem to watch this track without getting bored, and I can't remember anything about it (after having just finished watching it) except that it was somewhat compact and too fast paced for me to gel with it. X
What I said last round:

FritzI've been able to understand why people like this track but to me it's never really looked like anything beyond a bunch of drawings that don't mesh well with the track.
Manual Mayhem XI still enjoy the omni-ness of it but the sections feel mostly unplanned and it's heavily overbalanced towards the fling quirk side, and the result is it feels thrown together to me.
UnusualsI really wish this had a less generic theme, and less random styles of scening. And that he had just finished the ending instead of making it into the stupid shitty piece of work that was MMXT. BUT GOD DAMN I gotta vote for the DNA which is probably the most innovative 10 seconds of scenery of all time.
FunkThis track has always felt somewhat low key and do-whatever to me, and yet I really enjoy the creativity it displays, especially in the opening seconds.
OverdriveI enjoyed some of the crazy multilining towards the end, but the majority feels like very generic quirk to me, and I'm a little put off by the message of the track, which seems to be "Look how good I am at quirk now." At least it's up front about it though.
Cheat Aerialjust feels like a generic manuquirk.
MultiverseSo much trickery and riffing on manuquirk, the most overused track genre ever, playing the definitions of manuals and quirk and overall just being misdirectional and fun.
Valence 2This is a herculean effort by one of the most skilled trackmakers of all time, and I can't deny that to me, it comes across as the most impressive naked track in the entire tournament. But to me there just feels like a lack of overall direction and purpose besides "make a gigantic omnitrack with as many different sections as possible". And nothing brings this point home like the undeniably half-assed ending.
Supersonic Motionit feels like valence 3's younger and less capable sibling.
SereinFor the most part it feels clear in intention and confident in execution, especially at the drop. Towards the end of the highspeed it feels like it loses that a bit but the fantastic ending makes up for it.The flow just doesn't click for me. My eyes glazed over halfway through.
