Cave Story Remix Project - Never Die (Cave Story) vs Sync's Art - Necrofantasia (Perfect Cherry Blossom) - For all that I've complained incessantly about all the uninspired and hackneyed Perfect Cherry Blossom remixes polluting this competition, Necrofantasia has somehow managed to grow on me like a vile awesome wart. It's actually *gasp* not that bad. That makes this decision a bit more difficult, but not enough to change the outcome, unfortunately. Never Die is just too awesome. Can we just give it the title already?
Disciple of the Mix - In Mem'ry of Sir Anthony (Final Fantasy Tactics) vs Vurez - Basilisk Run (Ninja Gaiden) - Never Die vs. Basilisk Run should be a spectacular fight.
Palpable - Twilight of Ivory (Final Fantasy X) vs The Black Mages - Battle with the Four Fiends (Final Fantasy 4) - Battle with the Four Fiends is an old favorite of mine, but I've been enthralled by Twilight of Ivory since I first heard it. Might as well throw a vote to the newcomer.
dBu - Doll Judgement (Perfect Cherry Blossom) vs The Wingless - Super Metroid One Girl in all the World OC ReMix (Super Metroid) - It's difficult to explain why I like One Girl. For whatever reason, I just find it very alluring and pleasant to hear.
SuperGreenX, MC - Panzer Dragoon Orta More Than A Weapon OC ReMix (Panzer Dragoon Orta) vs Genso Suikoden Music Collection by Kentaro Haneda - Gothic Neclord (Suikoden 2) - Nope, still not a big fan of Gothic Neclord.
Touhou Violin 2 - Symphony "Remilia" Op. 22 (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil) vs Drammatica - The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura - The 13th Anthology (Kingdom Hearts 2) - Requisite match of meh.
ZTS - Sore demo dare ka wo suki ni naru -cooperate- (December without an Angel) vs Xenogears Creid - Balto (Xenogears) - Man, both of these tracks are purdy. Coin-flip.
The Black Mages - Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X) vs MAIKAZE - Candid Friend Vocal arrange (Mountain of Faith) - Finish him! Fatality!
