Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales) - Well, that was easy

Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8) - Solid if somewhat sleep-inducing at times vs. something I don't really care for

Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96) - 41 minutes dear god what the fuck.  Anyways, Angelus Errare fell off in a number of places and never managed to be significantly better than the CC pieces it remixed even when it was solid.   Arashii no Saxophone, on the other hand, manages to be decent enough to win here.

Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6) - Meh

Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus) - Nicer

Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero) - See above.

The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil) - I suppose

Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith) - *sigh*

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales): Not hard.
Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8): Not one of the Black Mages' best tracks, but right now I'm feeling the hard rock angle more than I am Kamikaze's more leisurely mood (for all that it is an interesting take on one of SO2's few excellent songs).
Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96): Waaay too long to be used in this kind of contest, but turning the CC OST into an album-length rock opera is, at the least, ambitious.
Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6): Pretty. I like the SH track for its mood, but it does wander so.
Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus): Shit, man. This is far prettier than anything coming from Stella Deus has a right to be.
Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero): Well, that's an unexpected direction to take for Big Blue. It works, though. And the Touhou track isn't significantly better than the original despite better sound quality.
The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil): The opposition's a little too meandering. Also, Remilia.
Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith): Silly enough to be fun, as opposed to Yet Another Nitori Song.

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales) - I think it's safe to say that I adore the Xenogears Creid collection
Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8) - I wasn't expecting a track with the word "Kamikaze" in the title to be so dang boring.
Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96) - Abstain out of laziness. Like hell I'm going to sit through a 41-minute track, no matter how good it may be.
Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6) - Okay. Two or three minutes of actual music interspersed among four or five minutes of static and white noise does not constitute a good remix.

Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus) - The Stella Deus track is very pretty and soothing, but I have to go with an old favorite. I won't be especially disappointed if Run Away with Me doesn't win this one, though.
Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero) - I have a soft spot for piano music.
The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil) - If this contest was decided entirely by which track has the longest name, TLoHSnKFC&SCSAVISIVTLoHSnK would totally win.
Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith) - Santa is...dead? *cries in a corner*

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales): Eh. Above average, if vastly overlong, versus something that sounds like random midis used in RPG Maker games.
Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8): More effective in a shorter amount of time.
Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96): Angelus Errare falls into the pittrap of superlong tracks; it's superlong for the sake of being superlong. A complete mess with no flow. Meanwhile, Arashii no Saxophone is FABULOUS~.
Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6): Autowin over noise.
Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus): Battle of the unmemorable. Well, Stella Deus is prettier.
Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero): More fitting style of remix.
The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil): While I Swear is one of those rare vocal tracks that works just as well in instrumental...Scarlet Destiny here is the surprise of this pool. Very, very nice. But I Swear is just too pretty, violin melts me as usual. Also, Lance: Actually the game's full title is slightly longer. >_>
Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith): I'll give you one, vile kappa. THIS TIME.

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales) - Bah, Duck Side of the Moon is superior.

Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8) - Battle of blah.  I'll into your kamikaze.  Last night.  Twice.

Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96) - Good grief I'm not listening to that whole thing right now.

Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6) - Nommed this as an example of the type of ambient music I like (and practically no one else does).  That said, Piano Collection Celes is certainly worthy of moving on, so no tears shed here.

Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus) - Sky Ray is surprisingly good, but I really like Roetaka's style.  Nice match.

Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero) - Another nice match, I like both.  Flood Plain's got some problems, though - really long silence early on for no particular reason, and some fumbles on the playing that grate on my ears in... well, pretty much all of the fast sections.  And Sensitive Heart's is one of the comparatively few versions of Lunatic Princess I can stand.  So.

The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil) - Decent but doesn't stand out to me vs decent and does.

Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith) - One of the best Bound Together tracks.  Delicious.

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales)
I like it, though it reminds me oddly enough of Aerobiz.

Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8)
Honestly, just more fun to listen to.  Really, this has nothing at all to do with Squall fanboyism, seriously!

Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96)
Oh, what the hey.  I can respect ambition, and the second one I just dislike for reasons I can't put my finger on.

Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6)
The SH2 track is a little too hit or miss to really consider, while the FF6 track is a good one done with piano, which is an instrument I rather like.

Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus)
Slightly more memorable

Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero)
Big Blue does work oddly well as a piano piece.

The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil)
Oddly enough, not the longest title in this thing.  That said, the guitars manage to be really nice without the lock step enforcement of instruments that Scarlet Destiny has, and which always feels like an oddly lazy way to enforce melody.

Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith)
No real reason.

Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8) - Never a fan of Maybe I'm a Lion, so does this arrange. While Kamikaze has some interesting interpretation of the original track.
Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96) - The CC track is toooo huge of a hit and miss and wayyyyy too long.
Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6)
Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus) - One of my favorite, only if Sakimoto can use this style more.....

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales) -
Creid was an erratic album, and Melkaba is likely the best of it.  This Ducktales remix is better than last pod's, though.
Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8)
Black Mages in non-suck mode.  I don't get Kamikaze - what piece is it even remixing?
Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96)
After bothering to sit through 41 minutes no way am I going to let that be wasted.  Points for ambition, at least.  I suspect I'd still rather just listen to the CC normal soundtrack.
Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6)
I like the middle of StaticAversion, but what the heck happens in the beginning and end?
Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus)
The Stella Deus piece is quite nice.
Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero)
Flood Plain does nothing for me.
The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil)
Very close.  Both are decent, though the bit in Scarlet Destiny where it randomly lapses into a James Bond theme is weird.  Uh, coin flip, but TLoHSnKFC&SCSAVIsIV(TLofHSnK) is a bit sappy, so guess I'll go with Scarlet Destiny.
Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith)
Santa is not good.  Kappa at least has a good feeling of movement to it.

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales)- Didn't put me to sleep.
Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8)- I don't even remember the in game version of maybe I'm a lion. I'll have to listen to that.  And snowfire: It's remixing the SO2 world map theme. Took me a while to pick up on it as well.  As for the fight? Yeah, the black mages song has nice driving energy. I really like the SO2 remix but it goes on way too long.
Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96)- 41 minutes of CC music is cruel and unusual punishment.
Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6)- I like Celes's theme.
Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus)- What Cid said.
Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero)
The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil)- Better focus. Both were way better than expected.
Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith)- Enjoyed both quite a bit. Shockingly.

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales) - *sigh*
Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8) - First one wasn't bad, but had a couple weak points.  Maybe I'm a Lion is more my style in general.
Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96) - Unashamedly voting against 41 minutes of music without even listening to it.  Don't get me wrong, I like CC music, but a 41 minute song is insane.
Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6) - I know it fits with the source material, but that first mix isn't so much a song as noise. >_>
Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus) - Prettier of two songs I tuned out and forgot were playing. <_<
Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero)

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales) - Close, just like the second one better.

Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8) - Man, I was ready to vote for Kamikaze, but then Lion got going and I'm really liking it.

Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96) - I'm not even downloading that gigatrack. KoF song is good enough that it auto-wins vs something that unnessesarily large.

Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6) - So I get 2 minutes in to Monkey Machine, and there has been no music yet, just odd white noise stuff. It's opponent will have to REALLY SUCK to lose to that. Oh look, Celes' theme on piano. That doesn't suck.

Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus)

Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero) - Love Lunatic Princess, though the opponent here is pretty solid too.

The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil) - Verrrry close match. Really enjoyed the LoH song, though.

Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith) - Kappa remix was really energetic. Struck my mood quite well, though I did like Santa is Dead.

Xenogears: Creid - Melkaba (Xenogears) vs OCRemix - Ducktales Moondust OC ReMix (Ducktales)
-- Melkaba isn't the best track on Creid, and the Ducktales remix was actually pretty good.  I'll go with it here.

Blake Perdue - Into Your Kamikaze (Star Ocean 2) vs The Black Mages - Maybe I'm A Lion (Final Fantasy 8)
-- ...tough one.

Kidd Cabbage - Angelus Errare (Chrono Cross) vs The King Of Fighters '96 Arrange Soundtrack - Arashii no Saxophone 2 (The King of Fighters '96)
-- Angelus Errare is actually good for the most part.  Arashi no Saxophone 2 isn't bad either, but eh.

Children of the Monkey, Machine, Steve Pordon - Silent Hill 2 StaticAversion OC ReMix (Silent Hill series) vs FFVI Piano Collection - Celes (Final Fantasy 6)
-- Meh.

Roetaka - Run Away with Me (Goldeneye 007) vs Stella Deus BGM ReArrange Album - Sky Ray (Stella Deus)
-- Prettier.

Sensitive Heart - Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night) vs JigginJonT - The Flood Plain OC (F-Zero)
-- ...wow, both of these are great.  Think I'm feeling Lunatic Princess more right now though.

The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki FC & SC Super Arrange Version - I swear... Instrumental Ver. (The Legend of Heroes Sora no Kiseki) vs Sensitive Heart - Scarlet Destiny (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil)
-- This is how you do an instrumental version of a vocal song.  If it's not clear, the answer's not "just take out the vocals and leave everything else the same".  Scarlet Destiny is pretty good, too, though.

Bound Together EB remixes - Santa is Dead (Earthbound) vs efs - Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange (Mountain of Faith)
-- Meh.

Melkaba vs Moondust - Right... Melkaba is inferior to the original version, but Moondust takes its original in completely the wrong direction. There's something about Moondust that really gets on my goat but I can't think of what it is.
Into Your Kamikaze vs Maybe I'm A Lion - There I was just thinking to myself "Self, I have nowhere near enough mediocrity in my life". What amazing luck for this pair to show up and fix this dire calamity. Die next round, Lion.
Angelus Errare vs Arashii no Saxophone 2 - Hm... Angelus certainly isn't BAD per se, its only downpoint is that it's long which in real life is a complete non-issue since you don't normally only play one track and then quit listening to music for several hours or anything similarly contrived. Saxophone is decent but gets a tad repetitive. I'm giving it to Angelus here because the ludicrousness points it gains for its length just push it over the top.
Static Aversion vs Celes - On the basis of the available evidence, I have no choice but to conclude that Silent Hill 2 fans have no taste in music whatsoever, and may in fact not even know the definition of the term. Celes is inferior to the original but that's nowhere near enough to sink it here.
Run Away with Me vs Sky Ray - Considerably more beautiful than Run Away.
Lunatic Princess vs The Flood Plain - Flood Plain starts to grate after a while. Lunatic Princess does not.
I swear... Instrumental Ver. vs Scarlet Destiny - Scarlet is very good and energetic. But Swear approaches beauty.
Santa is Dead vs Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa Arrange - The voice is a bit off, but it goes to the right places, if you know what I mean. Santa's got nuthin'.
