Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2) - Not a discordant assault on my eardrums.
Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel) - They're both pretty similar, so it's a tough call. I think the latter song is ever-so-slightly more enjoyable, although the Seiken Densetsu track was not bad by any means.
Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears) - Forest Birdcussion was pleasant for a while, but it got a bit repetitive near the end. It would probably be better if it was about a minute shorter.
Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6) - Argh. Completely pointless talking during the song? No.

Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV) - Not the best Parasite Eve track ever made, but God damn, that Calbrena music had way too many unnecessary sound effects.
The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami) - Bwuh? Are you sure that Seymour Battle track is a remix? It sounds exactly like the in-game track to me. Either way, I like the Okami track enough to vote for it without feeling guilty.
Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith) - ...Jesus Christ on a Unicycle
VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith) - The Valkyrie Profile track was -- dare I say it? -- kind of boring. Maikaze had personality, at least.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2): Kind of unfocused, but it's a fun jam session.
Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel): Pretty.
Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears): Eh, both are decent enough.
Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6): Narration = no.
Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV): A favorite. The other track's neat, but...yeah.
The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami): The opposition's cute, but cute's nowhere near good enough here.
Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith): I officially hate Nitori.
VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith): I hate Nitori. Even if this one's not actually his fault. VP track doesn't do much but change the timbre of the synths a little. And the song's not significantly better for it. More to the point, points off for mixing in the game's worst dungeon theme in the middle. Thus, I'm obliged to vote for the opposition.

EDIT: No, Nitori. I MEANT WHAT I SAID.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2) - Nicer to listen to
 
Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel) - This is fairly close

Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears) - This, on the other hand, is not

Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6) - Go away, opera scene

Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV) - And here, there is only misery

The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami) - ...

Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith) - Inspires both amusement and horror, which is welcome after the utter misery of the previous two matches.  The other track inspires nothing but apathy.

VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith) - *sigh*

Surprisingly non-painful for a Nitori nom.

I'll get around to the rest later.

VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith) - Wow, neither of these are very good...  I guess I'll take the one that doesn't sound terribly out of tune.

And general quality collapses back to pod 1 level, this time.  Oh well.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2)
Neither is great, but the EB piece is actively bad.
Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel)
There's some great Seiken Densetsu remixes out there, but Mana Palace isn't one of them.  The ZTS song is actually pretty nice.
Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears)
Both are meh.
Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6)
Auto-win against that shambling mess of an FF6 remix.  Still not a fan of the lyrics when the BMs use them.  The FF1 piece isn't bad.
Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV)
Champ of this pod without question.  Influence of Deep is awesome.  Mechanicalcobrena is actually pretty neat too, and beats most of the other songs here.
The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami)
I like retro remixes, but eh.  I like the BM's version of Seymour Battle too.
Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith)
Auto-win vs. Cucumber.   Test of Island Courage is passable on its own, I guess.
VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith)
Surprisingly close.  Both are a little overlong for their own good...  but the VP tracks feels a little less repetitive.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2): Is not assaulting my eardrums.
Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel): Hm. This is surprisingly nice, especially the violiny bits. Lukard was just there.
Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears): Forest Birdcussion is pretty good. Then Balto starts and I melt.
Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6): Sort of decent-good is nowhere near enough to beat the majestic Darkness and Starlight.
Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV): Not a raving Influence of Deep fan, but the other song is not good.
The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami): Ha. You're funny.
Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith): Horribly bland versus abomination.
VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith): Can you possibly sing more monotonously? No? Yeah.
<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!!!

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2)
Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel) - ZTS makes awesome stuff in general. ixion, the album the track came from, is full of beautiful. Mana Palace was just... meh. Pretty close, though.
Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears) - Mhm.
Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6) - Moving on. While Darkness and Starlight is not bad... the lyrics. Hmm.
Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV) - Does not aggravate my pseudo-fever.
The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami)
Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith) - I actually like the other one but Test of Island Courage just blows it out of the water.
VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith) - Clear pick. There are a gazillion Candid Friend vocal arranges. So boring.
19:35:58 (trancehime) there's a specific spot in the game that's for item duping
19:36:14 (Sanae) o.o
19:39:11 (Sanae) I'd love to dupe a second trancehime.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2) - Wind Ahead is pretty... and pretty boring.  Fatshit I'm not that big a fan of, but it at least has variety going for it.

Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel) - Very nice match, I love both.  Going with the one that has more original sounds.

Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears) - Familiar with both of these, easy vote.  Birdcussion isn't Proticity's best work by a long shot.

Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6) - Another clear pick.  Kinda low end OCR quality here.

Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV) - Close to me, I like Mechanicalcobrena.  But... yeah.

The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami) - Yet again I kinda dig the loser too, but Seymour is one of my favorites from the Black Mages and uh yeah.

Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith) - Apathy vote.  The Startropics song is bland as heck.  IOSYS is... um... different...

VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith) - This is probably the worst Maikaze song I have, but it still beats the VP arrange.  Way to do nothing but change Sakuraba synths for the worse.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2)
Does decently with a not exceptional base, and also doesn't work actively against my sanity.

Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel)
They're both nice, but I like the piano more.

Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears)
Fun, playful, and goes somewhere, while the DKC tune is long and pointless.

Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6)
There's a soft spot in my heart for the Opera Scene, and there's some really fun bits in here to boot.

Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV)
No real love for either of them, but I find the FFIV track to be a little jarring, and hence less worthy of moving on.

The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami)
Not a big fan of Seymour.

Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith)
I will admit that sometimes I want music to leave me horribly disturbed.  But that's when I'm in the right mood...  Aside from that, it's...  so...  cute...  But WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!

VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith)
Not a big fan of either, but I'm willing to go with the one that sounds more coherant and well put together.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2)
-- Pretty and has some goddamn focus.

Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel)
-- Both are good, but Lukardow is better.

Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears)
-- Yay Creid.

Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6)
-- I guess.

Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV)
-- I guess.

The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami)
-- I guess.

Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith)
-- Less boring.

VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith)
-- Less generic Sakuraba.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2) - Neither impresses overly much. I'm in a more mellow mood today, so I'll give it to Uncharted Waters.

Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel) - I really can't explain why I like this one more.

Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears) - Last chunk of the song really takes it for me.

Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6) - I'm really starting to kneejerk against songs that are too long. Especially when I have 4 pools to catch up on. Also, I really liked Warriors of Light.

Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV) - Active dislike for the base FF4 song used here.

The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami) - Damn, I like the Okami track, but Seymore Battle is one of my favorite FF songs ever. This is really close. I...think I have to go for Okami here.

Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith) - Okay, Cucumber Beer is actually funny. But that doesn't change the basic fact of Toro > Kappa.

VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith) - I like the VP song well enough, but Candid Freind is better, and the vocals are far better then I was expecting.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2) - Bound together is too discoherent.
Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel) - Not as drawn out and repetitious
Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears)
Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6) - I would complain about the messo somewhat... but still better than the other track
Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV) - It's Influence of the Deep vs. Crappy dolls, not hard.
The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami)
Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith) - The vocal is just..... it is too sweet and makes my toth ache
VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith) - The vocal killed it, sadly.

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2) Tiebroke for the Uncharted waters theme entirely for Lance's snarky comment.
Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel)- Need to grab the mana palace remix, it is most excellent. ZTS is a pretty ending theme at least.
Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears)- Just more solid overall. Both were pleasant distractions.
Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6)- Black Mages song is Meeplina level bad.
Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV)- Have this PE song on my MP3 player.
The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami)- Never liked Seymour's battle music.
Fairlight - Test of Island Courage (Startropics) vs IOSYS - You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! (Mountain of Faith)- What Lance said.
VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith)- FUCK THIS SHIT

VP1 Arrange Soundtrack - To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category (Valkyrie Profile) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith) - I can't wait for the winner of these last four songs to get royally stomped.  They all suck. >_>

Bound Together (EB remixes) - ~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] (Earthbound) vs Uncharted Waters 2 Special Edition - Wind Ahead (Uncharted Waters 2) = Scruboff.
Lukardow - Mana Palace (Seiken Densetsu) vs ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December When There is No Angel) - I like both of them for mellow listening. However, I think the latter has a better second half and picks up more momentum. Is there a way to download these off putfile?
Protricity - Forest Birdcussion OC Remix (Donkey Kong Country 2) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears) - MEH. Both songs leave something to be desired, like not sucking goats.
Darangen - Final Fantasy Warriors of Light OC ReMix (Final Fantasy 1) vs The Black Mages - Darkness and Starlight (Final Fantasy 6)
0Parasite Eve OST (unused) - Influence of Deep -CM Version- (Parasite Eve) vs Squaredance - Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) (Final Fantasy IV)
The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs Okami Retro Tracks - Spirit Extermination (Okami)

View source, find ".mp3". That should show you the direct link to wherever Putfile keeps the song.

~FATSHIT~ [Guitar Arrange Plus] vs Wind Ahead - Fat is surprisingly decent for a Pacaud track. That being said, it's still a Pacaud (that isn't Meow Meow). Wind Ahead isn't especially great, but it doesn't NEED to be. It has some nice hoppiness going on anyway.
Mana Palace vs Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- - Hmm... Palace is a bit repetitive and somewhat tinny, whereas Sore is less repetitive but more tinny. They're both nice - another surprise here saying that about ZTS - I think I'm going to go with Sore for more variety, in fact.
Forest Birdcussion vs Balto - Birds fail at life, which interestingly matches this bird track. Can it really be just a coincidence? Meanwhile Balto is one of the Creid tracks that isn't an affront at life to the original.
Warriors of Light vs Darkness and Starlight - Warriors starts off lifeless but gets itself together reasonably quickly. Darkness goes all over the place and isn't worth its track time.
Influence of Deep -CM Version- vs Mechanicalcobrena (Squaredance) - Eh, I'd had enough fat lady by the end of Darkness and Starlight. On the other hand I contain considerable hate for the Calcobrena tune. Tssssssk. I'm going to have to go with Mechanical here in the hopes that it dies easily next round.
Seymour Battle vs Spirit Extermination - Decent versus I'm not feeling GBO sounds today.
Test of Island Courage vs You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer! - Island Courage is overly tropical and it falls to pieces at the end. It is however up against the bastard child of Furby and the Care Bears.
To the Last Drop of my Blood~Reoccurring Frightening Category vs Candid Friend Vocal arrange - Last Drop of Blood has style, but it's too slow. Candid Friend doesn't hit the grog anywhere near as much as Cucumber and takes this with decent vocals.a
