S.S.H - Summer Vacation Game Music Festival (Shin Megami Tensei 2, Castlevania series, Guilty Gear X, Romancing SaGa 2, Thunderforce 5, The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki the 3rd, Guilty Gear, Shin Megami Tensei 1, Final Fantasy series, Super Robot Wars series, Romancing SaGa 3, Megaman X, Street Fighter 2, Dragon Slayer series, Super Robot Wars Impact, Final Fantasy 1, Hiouden, SaGa 2, Final Fantasy 5, Sorcerian, Broken Thunder) vs Hale-Bopp - Summertime (Star Ocean)
The SSH piece has some highs and some lows, and generally feels fairly disjointed which isn't surprising with something of that size. Meanwhile, Summertime is just one long high.
drammatica - The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura - Ruined Sparkling City (Legend of Mana) vs OKKUSENMAN (another version) (Megaman 2)
I was going to say this was a good fight, and then possibly vote for Okkusenman, and then the last forty seconds of Okkusenman hit.
S.S.H - Theme Of Meia Worzen [live Guitar] (Dragon Slayer 4) vs Falcom jdk Band 2008 Spring - Overdosing Heavenly Bliss (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki the 3rd)
Not that enthused by this Falcom piece.
Russell Cox - To Zanarkand Once Again (Final Fantasy X) vs drammatica - The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura - Forgotten Wings ~Forgotten Wings~ (Live a Live)
That was a remix? Ah well, something which really hasn't changed vs. something which took a good piece and not only changed it significantly, but seems to have made it better in doing so. I approve.
The Wingless - Silent Hill 2 There was a Hole Here OC ReMix (Silent Hill 2) vs Tsukigaokashoryo - The Doll Maker of Bucuresti (Perfect Cherry Blossom)
I like his SH2 piece, it's a nice piano piece with the supporting drumbeat not only being fitting for a survival horror track, but also being subtly in the background.
Wild ARMs Rocking Heart - Battle VS Lord Blazer (Wild ARMs 2) vs Brave Heart - Dragon Spirit & Dragon Saber Arrange - Fault Line [Dragon Spirit - Area 05] (Dragon Spirit)
Not a terribly inspiring track, but enough to win.
LukarDow - Burning Blood (SaGa 2) vs Gyakuten Saiban Meets Orchestra - Naruhodo Ryuuichi - Objection! (Phoenix Wright 1-3)
I love this version of Objection, while Burning Blood is just way too mellow and lacks the soul that Injured Hero's Blood has that elevates it into something great. Frankly, this match is just no contest.
housethegrate - Seized With Fury (Final Fantasy 6) vs FF5 Dear Friends - My Home Sweet Home (Final Fantasy 5)
Sweet! An English version of Home Sweet Home with good singing. Pity I have a very strong love for Seized with Fury, and hence feel absolutely no inclination to vote for Home Sweet Home, even if I am going to gank it. Alright... having heard it to the end, I will admit that I now feel really, really bad that I had to vote against it, and will be glad to support it for as far as it makes it if it wins.
