"Go talk to a wall" (FFVIII) (see quote below) vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFbRRODPGQU#t=7m27s)

Quistis: I haven't been here for a while.
[They both go stand by the ledge.]
Quistis: What time is it?
Squall: It's after midnight.
Quistis: Oh well... I, Quistis Trepe, am no longer an instructor as
        of now! I'm a member of SeeD now, just like you. Who knows,
         maybe we'll end up working together.
Squall: ...Oh really?
Quistis: Is that all you're going to say?
Squall: "If that's how it was decided, you have to abide by it."
Quistis: They told me that I failed as an instructor. Basically,
         that I lacked leadership qualities. I was a SeeD by the age
         of 15, got my instructor license at 17...It's only been a
         year since I got it... I wonder where I went wrong... I did
         my best... Are you listening?
Squall: Are you done yet...? I don't wanna talk about it. What am I
       supposed to say about other people's problems?

Quistis: I'm not asking you to say anything. I just want you listen.
Squall: Then go talk to a wall.
Quistis: Aren't there times when you want to share your feelings with
        someone?
Squall: Everyone has to take care of themselves. I don't want to
        carry anyone's burden.
[Squall walks away.]
Quistis: ...No leadership qualities... Failed instructor... Perhaps
         they're right...

[Dhyerwolf]

SHORT VERSION:

DRAMA:
Delita's Betrayal (FFT)  vs. Might vs Right (SH2)- Uhhh. Won't mind whichever wins here.
"Go talk to a wall" (FFVIII)  vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII)- Well, one of these is at least kind of dramatic.

STYLE:
Tantalus Airship Escape Exploding (FF9)vs. Mission 1 Opening (DMC3)- Torn. FF 9 has far more stylish scene, but DMC 3 waffles between stylish and horrible hammy-ness. Think the more of Dante I see, the less I like principle tips this.
Drakengard 2 (Caim's entrance) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2)- I...less, Drakengard 2 scene was very fractured. Was going to throw the vote to Chess Battle, but OHGODTHESOUND. Sound...kind of a big part of style.

HUMOR:
UNGAAAAAH!!! (Dissidia) vs. Badrach's Story (VP)- Badrach's story isn't funny at hell. But...it was compared to that Dissidia scene? Was that the right scene? That was just painful, although part of that is the generalized fail that is LP's that feel like narrating every single thing straight. Was that the right Dissidia scene?
Tranny Kyle (LSSSC) vs. Lizard People Ending (Chrono Trigger)- This is the only scene this week that is actually meant to be humorous.

[Meeplelard]

The Dissidia scene has humor value but ONLY if you know the exact thing they're "spoofing"

Its Emperor's death wail that is meant to be funny.  When he dies, he yells in a huge text bubble "UNGAAAAH!" ("UBOAR!!!!" in Japanese); this became somewhat of a Meme (in Japan) that Square actually went out of its way to make a scene dedicated to him yelling that at full volume (so in the Japanese, yes, he actually voice acts "UBOAR!!!!")

Like I said, it requires you know the exact scenario to have any sort of humor value.  I'm not saying this should change your vote, but just noting that "Yes, its the right scene."

[Cmdr_King]

DRAMA:
Delita's Betrayal (FFT)  vs. Might vs Right (SH2)- I did have to check the FFT scene to see which one it was, but this outcome was never in doubt.
"Go talk to a wall" (FFVIII)  vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII)- I can kinda see what Bard was going for with that nom, but I feel like Squall undercuts it.  Unlike the other scene, which is awesome.

STYLE:
Tantalus Airship Escape Exploding (FF9) vs. Mission 1 Opening (DMC3)- Y'know, the way the ship flies here is kinda pretty.  But y'know.
Drakengard 2 (Caim's entrance) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2)- Amuses me more.

HUMOR:
UNGAAAAAH!!! (Dissidia) vs. Badrach's Story (VP)- The entire concept of Badrach always amused me.  No, seriously, I did one good thing once!!
Tranny Kyle (LSSSC) vs. Lizard People Ending (Chrono Trigger)- In an obvious Match of Ciato, trannies always win.

[Excal]

DRAMA:
Delita's Betrayal (FFT)  vs. Might vs Right (SH2) - As usual, not touching SH2 stuff.
"Go talk to a wall" (FFVIII)  vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII) - This is the climax of FF VIII, the moment right before the final dungeon where the hero passes on the knowledge he has gained in his quest to give his allies the resolve to prevail, and a good capstone to his character arc and the hero's journey.  Pity what they did to all that in FF VIII-2.

STYLE:
Tantalus Airship Escape Exploding (FF9)vs. Mission 1 Opening (DMC3) - Probably my favourite Dante scene.
Drakengard 2 (Caim's entrance) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2) - The Chess battle is wonderful.

HUMOR:
UNGAAAAAH!!! (Dissidia) vs. Badrach's Story (VP) - Right...  I really don't like Badrach's scene, so I think I'll tiebreak for the Dissidia scene because Tidus' Battle Start quote for the Emperor mocks this scene.
Tranny Kyle (LSSSC) vs. Lizard People Ending (Chrono Trigger) - I like the Lizard ending, it's nicely surreal.  But really, it's up against Kyle when he's at his strongest.

Intro (King's Field 2) (Link provided)  vs. WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOR (MMX4) - All I wanted was a world where there were only easy matches!  But reality doesn't work like that...  It wasn't supposed to be this way!  WHAT AM I VOTING FOOOOOOOOOOR!!!

BONUS MATCH...ITS SERIOUS!!!:
Bye, bye, Butterfree (Pokemon) vs. Gourry saves Lina (Slayers Next)

[Dark Holy Elf]

DRAMA:
Delita's Betrayal (FFT)  vs. Might vs Right (SH2): Argh. The best scenes from their respective games. Makes me sad given some of the weaker scenes that have advanced. Will think on this.
"Go talk to a wall" (FFVIII)  vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII): Pretty sure the former was nommed in the wrong category. The pep talk is one of Squall's best moments.

STYLE:
Tantalus Airship Escape Exploding (FF9)vs. Mission 1 Opening (DMC3): Umm.. yeah. I don't mind the FF9 scene but c'mon.
Drakengard 2 (Caim's entrance) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2)

HUMOR:
UNGAAAAAH!!! (Dissidia) vs. Badrach's Story (VP): Will vote once I watch the Dissidia scene, for now, chiming in with the comment that Badrach's story -is- funny, just in a very dark way, and I like it a lot.
Tranny Kyle (LSSSC) vs. Lizard People Ending (Chrono Trigger): Tranny Kyle is pretty random and funny.

[Luther Lansfeld]

SHORT VERSION:

DRAMA:
Delita's Betrayal (FFT) vs. Might vs Right (SH2)- Uuuugh. Love both.
"Go talk to a wall" (FFVIII)  vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII)- I'm so confused to why the former is in this category.

[OblivionKnight]

DRAMA:
Delita's Betrayal (FFT)  vs. Might vs Right (SH2) - SHC > FFT
"Go talk to a wall" (FFVIII)  vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII) - I like the quote, at least.

STYLE:
Tantalus Airship Escape Exploding (FF9)vs. Mission 1 Opening (DMC3) - Dante's penis is bigger than the airship, it seems
Drakengard 2 (Caim's entrance) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2) - Chess is awesome.  Needed more Elaine Page, though.

HUMOR:
UNGAAAAAH!!! (Dissidia) vs. Badrach's Story (VP) - Either non-humourously awesome, or darkly hilarious.  Still wins either way!
Tranny Kyle (LSSSC) vs. Lizard People Ending (Chrono Trigger) - I'd do him
