CarbohydroM - The duck side of the moon (Duck Tales) vs Darangen - Deadly Promises (Final Fantasy 6) - Duck Side of the Moon! Other track's decent as well, but nothing to write home about and it's up against a personal favorite here.
Chocobo no Fushigina COI VANNI GIALLI - COI VANNI GIALLI (Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon) vs Tsukigatari - Tsukigatari (Tsukihime) - See first match, pretty much. Orchestral chocobo is cute and all, but it's just orchestral chocobo, and wears out its welcome around halfway through. Then on the other hand you have WAVE, which is instant win vs spinpires.
DarkeSword - The Father Of All (Megaman X4) - ZTS - Getsuei -pillage (Tsukihime) - Man, how'd all the Type Moon music get in the same pool? Anyway, this is pretty clear cut, despite the techno being not horribly offensive.
Wild ARMs Music the Best Rocking Heart - FATE BREAKER (Wild ARMs 3) vs Aether - Meridian Dance (Seiken Densetsu 3) - below average vs above average. Neither really grips me.
Game Over - The Grim Reaper (Castlevania 1) vs GYAKUTEN MEETS JAZZ SOUL - Shibakuzou Toranosuke - Swinging Zenitora (Phoenix Wright 3) - Close match. To me. Throwing Grim Reaper a vote since I doubt anyone else will. The lyrics are meant to be horribly cheesy!
The Black Mages - Clash on the Big Bridge (Final Fantasy 5) vs S.S.H. - Fallen Angel Of Silvery Snow (Super Robot Taisen Impact) - Underdogs what what. I don't really like what the Black Mages did to Big Bridge, and the opposition's in the same style and good enough for me to take it.
Redeemer - Swivel (Seiken Densetsu 3) vs zyko - Final Fantasy 7 Of Transformants and Brevity OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 7) - Did I get three noms in this pool somehow? Odd. Anyway, another good serviceable track pitted against a big personal favorite of mine. Seems to be a theme of this pool. In this case the favorite is zyko; atmosphere is awesome.
ZTS - Shisen -evaporation (Kagetsu Tohya) vs Morrigan - I-III / Excalibur (Fate/Stay Night) - More Type Moon, more Alex noms, more WAVE, this is undoubtedly the easiest call of the pool. Excalibur has a long buildup but is amazing once it gets going.
