Music Tournament of Doom: Doomy Finals of Doom. DOOM!
« on: July 07, 2008, 03:13:24 AM »
What did you expect in an opera, a happy ending?

Ys Origin: -Bonus Track- GENESIS BEYOND THE BEGINNING

Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song: Calling An Awakening Memory -The Battle with Schirach-

And so it comes to this.  Can the last of the mighty Big Four withstand the power of FALCOM PAUNCH?!  Is Scherah's bone-splintering power enough to finally fell the unstoppable GENESIS?  Only your votes can decide!  Good luck, and may the Schwartz be with you!

I don't think I ever voted against Sherach, whereas I voted against Genesis... twice? For two of my favourite songs in the whole contest, but I digress. Sherach is pretty rockin' and I know I was dreading something thoroughly mediocre winning the second half.

Still,

Ys Origin: -Bonus Track- GENESIS BEYOND THE BEGINNING

is still better.

Pretty clear, although Schirach is still really just Grandia boss music (Read: average).

    I am the seeker of musics.
    Guitar is my body, and violin is my blood.
    Have listened to over a thousand songs.
    Unknown to the DL.
    Nor known to many others.
    Have withstood pain to find goodness within (Damn ye U.B.!).
    Yet, few have risen above the GENESIS.
    So, as I listen,

FALCOM PAUNCH!
<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!!!

Falcom Paunch indeed. Shirach puts up a good fight, but not good enough -- GENESIS just kicks too much ass and rocks too much face. It is an excellent track that stands head-and-shoulders above nearly all of the other songs in this massive competition. Well done, GENESIS.

Voting RSMS, because the darkhorse needs a vote. Both are awesome, so I'm happy either way.

As much as I think other tracks deserve to win more, Shirach is even less deserving.

Tonfa claims that he'll be running a tourney for arranged music, planned for September.  Sounds like a long ass wait to me...

Fun stuff, will look forward to a second round. Plenty of good stuff that wasn't in this one. (Must nom better Guilty Gear tracks next time. Yes). Absence of Liberi Fatali, Battle with Astaroth was particularly surprising.

The contest had enough FF8 music as it was (in that it had Man with a Machine Gun). Seconding lack of Astaroth being bizarre though. Of course, there was a bunch of odd stuff missing, and if not for CK adding Dream of the Shore in a spare slot we'd have lost out on a... quarterfinalist it was?

Would definitely like to see an ordinary one again at some point. Given how much some opinions shifted between this one and the last one, I assume things might well shift again in a year's time. Music opinions seem more fluid than, say, game opinions, where a core top tier (FFT et al.) is pretty much eternally guaranteed to smash all but each other.

This actually gives me an idea, NEB. I am now contemplating running...the Best Minigame EVAR Tourney (of Not So Much Doom). We've had several Best Game Ever tourneys and they tend to turn out the same way, so what the hell, may as well poke fun at those with this (it pretty much would be a joke, given that a lot of minigames tend to...not be very good). Might toss something up in a few days if I get unlazy.

Sounds pretty neat. Needs a Fail Division too, naturally.

Speaking of failure division - weren't you doing one for this, CK?  If not, that would be something good to run in the interim while we wait for Tonfa's.
