Music Tournament of DOOM mk3 ~Pool 7~
« on: April 09, 2010, 08:52:37 PM »
I think you know the drill by now. Copy the match ups below and bold which song you like better. The names are links to a stream of the song.

If there are any mistakes, please let me know ASAP so we can fix them.

I will put up a new pool every half week and they will all be open for a week as well. If enough people don't like this pace, I am willing to change the schedule, but let's roll with this and see how it goes.

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle-
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle- - At That Time never really picked up at all, tbh. Disappointing. Reach Out is awesome and so effortlessly wins here.
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game - Kinda soothing vs. kinda quirky. Not a great match, overall.
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity - Trailblazer is upbeat, a fun listen and a nice track. Dignity is... not bad, but not particularly good either.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle - Less dull. Both kinda suck.

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger - Warmth is a really nice song! Pleasantly surprised, honestly. That said, Yatagarasu reminds me of the Nocturne credits and is a beautiful piece. Going Yatagarasu, but this is a damn good match.
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness - Kinda meh vs. starts slow, gets decent. Ehh, Wind's end is good enough to justify the slow start for now, I guess.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior - Yeaaaaah, tough match. Leaning Original Sin, but honestly close to coinflipping this. This pool has such a mix of amazing and terrible! Why couldn't they actually be split, hunh? :(
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht - Clear choice. Pimpin' is kinda fail - it's like the worst of the stuff with lyrics from the Personas - while Schlacht is... yesss. Quite awesome. <3

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka - Who said female vocals were better than male vocals in Japanese? 'Cause this match says otherwise. Gekkouka is by far the better one here.
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire - Ehh, not an amazing match. This one's better by quite a bit, but this says nothing in favour of it. It's just pretty good as opposed to pretty bad.

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - 鳳莱雀萃 -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life - Extend Ash was good, but had its weaker points. Border of Life is a damn strong song throughout, despite the changes and flow of the song. Very nice.
Final Fantasy IV - The Black Mages - Zeromus VS. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Magic Beast Farm - Yeah, it's kinda pretty, but... a) Zeromus is my nom, and b) ZEROMUS. That song is freaking amazing.

Link to Dignity is missing a /, btw.

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle-: I guess. Reach Out to the Truth is fine in-game, meh outside of it.
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game: Quirky trumping mellow, yes.
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity: Much more my style. Can also stand in to avenge Awakening the Chaos (fuck you, Hatbot).
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle: Hard for me to vote against the finale of Cave Story.

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger: Better ambiance. Nice and homey. WA3 really had Naruke at her best.
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness: Sorta genericish FIGHT music, but lively enough to beat Mega Man guitar.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior: What Gate said. Except that I don't really like Merciless Savior much. So not really what Gate said.
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht: Eminently hateable vocals versus my nom. This is not a tough decision.

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka: I guess? Both give an impression of "Sort of okayish, I really need to listen again to be sure how I feel about them."
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire: Less boring. Dis started out with annoying warbling and then just meandered pointlessly for four minutes.

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - 鳳莱雀萃 -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life: Motherfucking Hatbot piece of shit putting my noms against each other first round aljhweklrfhelkhsdklfjblskadfjbkljb
Final Fantasy IV - The Black Mages - Zeromus VS. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Magic Beast Farm: SSH version would've been better, but this still beats boringness.

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle-
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game - Both my noms. I love Game, but I'm really in more of a relaxed mood right now, so giving the vote to Gray.
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity - Again, more feeling the mellow today. Dignity isn't bad, but it's not as good.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle - Quirky > barely existed for most of the song.

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior - Now this is a fight. Man. Like both, thinking I'll throw a vote to what I expect to be the underdog here.
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht

Rest later

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka - Damn. Good vs good here. Like The World a bit more, but this is a good match.
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire - And here we have meh vs slightly less meh.

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - 鳳莱雀萃 -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life
Final Fantasy IV - The Black Mages - Zeromus VS. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Magic Beast Farm

Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle - Cave Story vs. that was playing?

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger - *shrug*
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness - Match of meh.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior - Merciless Savior just doesn't do it for me.

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle-
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity - Not really feelin' that Guilty Gear track. Seems like something I might like if I listen to it a few times, but...eh.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle - Loses points for being way too short (just like the rest of Cave Story's soundtrack, doggone it), but Last Battle is still solid enough to win this one.

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness - Better at ensuring complete...global...saturation....
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht - Not usually the type of song I'd like, but it's oddly catchy.

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire - Yeah, "warbling" is the right word. Jesus.

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - 鳳莱雀萃 -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life
Final Fantasy IV - The Black Mages - Zeromus VS. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Magic Beast Farm - One of the better Black Mages remixes. Magic Beast Farm is nice, but it's outclassed here.

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle-: Meh.
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game: ...okay, what? Gray's a support nom, takes this eaaasy.
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity: More unique. I like the atmosphere to this.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle: Cave Story isn't really my style, but at least I noticed it was playing.

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger: Hm. Two rather subdued pieces. I like the mood Warmth conveys more.
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness: Meh. Unmemorable Mega Man theme > standard monster music.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior: Merciless Savior is simply godlike, a tier no SRW music has yet ascended to.
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht: Yo dawg...*facepalm*

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka: Gekkouka is definitely a contender, but I adore the .hack musical stylings.
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire: Get curbstomped by the previous pairing's winner kthx.

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - 鳳莱雀萃 -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life: ...choir? Intriguing, but mm. Don't feel the style lends itself well to it. Let's go with violin.
Final Fantasy IV - The Black Mages - Zeromus VS. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Magic Beast Farm: If this was that sweet guitar version of magic beast farm this would be close.
<Niu> If I ever see that Langfadood, i'll strangle him on sight
<Gourry> What, for making the game three times better?
<Gourry> And playable, at that?
<Niu> that lose the whole point of of L2!!!

Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity- I... guess.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle- Kinda a... lot of whatever, in this half.

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness- They have a similar vibe.  Not really what I'd call good, but... upbeat.  It's different.  RE5 track's a bit better on the instrumentation though.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior- They're both kinda neat.  Try and even up the votes I think.
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle- - For once I'm surprised I'm voting for my nom but... eh, feeling AC soundtrack today.
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game - Quirky is good here.
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity - Eh.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle - Love to actually hear this in-game, but being a Cave Story soundtrack fan anyway...

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger - Easy, despite Yatagarasu's Messenger being nice.
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness - Just feelin' it more.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior - Not even SRW fanboyism, and a close match.
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht - Good but nothing at all new vs... haha, best final boss music ever.

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka - Gekkouka may be good, but this is still so far from being a contest.
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire - Meh.

Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle-
Reach Out to the Truth is pretty cool.
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game
I'm sure Game is fitting in-game, but loses out of context.
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity
Trailblazer is pretty good, though it...  kinda trails off at the end without resolution.  Dignity is..  actually authentically good as well (and I'm normally a GG antihyper) but still loses here I think.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle
Rain is interesting.  I'll give it another listen next round.

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger
Definitely prefer Messenger here.  Warmth is okay scene-setting music that is fine in-game, but Messenger is authentically good out-of-game too.
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness
Sure.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior
They're both quite good, so usual tiebreak for new blood.
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht
Letzte feels kinda phoned in but pimpin' is not my style.

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka
Gekkouka is pretty nice, actually.  Shame it had to come up against a godlike piece from the .hack soundtrack.
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire
Yeah "get curbstomped by winner of previous match" is pretty accurate here.  Not that Unlimited Desire is bad, just on a different plane.

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - 鳳莱雀萃 -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life
Whoa where'd they get the money for some evil choir?!
Final Fantasy IV - The Black Mages - Zeromus VS. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Magic Beast Farm
I really like Magic Beast Farm for whatever reason.  Very laid back vibe.  OTOH I really like Zeromus too.  Excellent match.

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle- - man, I love those sharp little transitions in Shoji Meguro's stuff.  The intro's ok, and the chorus is ok, but put them next to each other, and it's more than the sum of its parts.
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity - I guess.  Neither really thrills me.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger - man, A Person's Warmth is a reminder of how I can't divorce songs from their contexts at all.  Probably just as well.  It really makes me want to take a nap in the sun.  All that said, Yatagerasu's Messenger (which I nominated) is also quite evocative, in a more 'pleasantly cool night, just after the sun sets' sort of way.  Great match, not only because they're both good but also because the pairing accentuates what's good about both of them.
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness - Madness has some real urgency to it.  good stuff.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka - The World is atmospheric and intense at the same time, and always seems to me to come from every direction at once, fitting its name.
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - 鳳莱雀萃 -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life - if you're gonna arrange something, THIS is how you do it.  Plays up the strengths of the original, keeping that essential soaring character in a different context.  Also, sounds great.

Rocky: you do know what an A-bomb is, right?
Bullwinkle: A-bomb is what some people call our show!
Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle-- Reach out is a really cool battle theme. AC3's track is good but not that good.
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS.Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity- Both are good. The GG track stuck with me for longer though.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger- Don't care too much either way
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness- Blah.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht- Urk.

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka- .hack vocals are Godlike.
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire- Doesn't make my ears bleed.

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - ???? -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life- Both good. CIddy didn't direct enough profanity at the bot.
Final Fantasy IV - The Black Mages - Zeromus VS. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Magic Beast Farm- Good vs pleasant backround noise. Not too hard.

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka - Gekkouka vs. The World was a close match until Gekkouka's vocals started and I winced. They're not bad, but definitely didn't gel with the (awesome!) piece as well as World's did with its piece, to me. This being said, both pieces are pretty good even with my vocal complaint so yeah, no complaint on a Gekkouka win.
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - 鳳莱雀萃 -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life - ... two of the best Touhou remixes against each other round one. Seconding super. Wow. Going with my own personal favorite.
Final Fantasy IV - The Black Mages - Zeromus VS. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Magic Beast Farm

MAIN TOURNAMENT
Armored Core 3 - At That Time VS. Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth -First Battle- - I like Time, but it feels like it's missing something. I don't care much for the singing in Truth and it barely has anything worth noting aside from that.
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Absolute Freedom -Gray- VS. Persona 4 - Game - Gray has a nicely meandering tune that unfortunately far too much of is spent with a vaguely unpleasant sounding wind instrument. Game puts me in mind of old MSDOS games... I find myself wondering whether that was the idea. Either way, it tickles me enough to vote for it this round at least.
Aoshiro - A Trailblazer Surpasses Death VS. Guilty Gear 2 - Dignity - Trailblazer is very pleasant and I have no problems with it, but it isn't exactly going out of its way to aim for the skylights. Dignity's instruments seem a little off on occassions but I have no major problems with it either, and in general it is a superior track.
Halo 3: ODST - Rain VS. Doukutsu Monogatari - Last Battle - Rain is very nice. Again I have no problems. Last trades in beauty for activeness but aside from that is also very nice! Some nice matches we have going on here. Last is a little on the short side, so I'll be going with beauty here.

Wild ARMs 3 - A Person’s Warmth VS. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Yatagarasu’s Messenger - Warmth is another great track slightly marred by subpar woodwind. Messenger is up there, but it's a bit slow and harsh at times for me in my current mood.
Mega Man X5 - Dynamo’s Theme VS. Resident Evil 5 - Wind of Madness - ...now Dynamo is a little too active, and kind of all over the place on top of that. Madness is all forebodery and I'm not really into it but it is decent and consistent, so let's go with it for now.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden - Original Sin VS. The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki - The Merciless Savior - I don't really have any problems with Original but don't you think we're kind of slipping here, pool? It was also about twice as long as it needed to be. And Saviour to the rescue with general awesomery! Does start off a bit slow though.
MadWorld - Look Pimpin’ VS. Rozenkreuzstilette - Letzte Schlacht - So this was a bye for Letzte then. I'm not sure it needed it, for all it is overly long.

ANIME
.hack//SIGN - The World VS. Black Jack 21 - Gekkouka - Both very nice. I'm going to go with Gekko here to keep gender balance up despite not actually caring enough to look over what the current gender balance is.
Infinite Ryvius - Dis- Club Mix VS. Slayers Special - Within Unlimited Desire - Wow, I would like to think that my liking of the show was not colouring my thoughts on the OP but holy lack of support. Certainly the start is kind of lame, but... I blame everything on the english version being ineligible. Desire is decent without trying to be anything special; not seeing the general preference for it though. All that said, I agree with the statements that whoever wins here is disappearing next round anyway.

ARRANGED
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night - Touhou Violin 4 - 鳳莱雀萃 -Extend Ash- VS. Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - ARCHIV-EAST - Border of Life - I am really not feeling the choir in Border.
Final Fantasy IV - The Black Mages - Zeromus VS. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - White Melodies of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Magic Beast Farm - I'm not the biggest fan of Zeromus, but this version does have its moments. It also has its unmoments though. Farm is decent in a generically pleasant way but I believe Zeromus is active enough to just edge it out.
