Opening (Left 4 Dead) vs. Asellus Mystic Ending (SaGa Frontier)
Miror B Fights (Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness) vs. Rofel and Dycedarg chat villainous things (Final Fantasy Tactics)- ... damn.  I want to vote for Miror B, but it just can't.

HUMOR:
Joachim/Ana spying on Yuri/Karin (Shadow Hearts 2) vs. Bar Fight (Dragon Quest VIII)
Ryudo Mocks Selene (Grandia II) vs. Lily Character Quest 3  (Mana Khemia 2)- Refer back to my earlier comment on Lily 3.  Ryudo's comment here meanwhile stayed with me pretty well.

Millenia's speech re: Eye of Valmar (Grandia II) vs. Kato Owns Nicholai (Shadow Hearts 2)- Awesome cap to awesome arc. Would be better with the earlier tie-in scenes of course! Other is a one scene that's good but doesn't feel anywhere in the realm of the arc.

DRAMA:
Millenia's speech re: Eye of Valmar (Grandia II) vs. Kato Owns Nicholai (Shadow Hearts 2) - NECK SNAP
Killer/Lady scene, pre-final dungeon (Shadow Hearts 3) vs. Virgil's Exit (Xenosaga 3) - Virgil's exit...is a little weird.  For all that it's decent. 

STYLE:
Opening (Left 4 Dead) vs. Asellus Mystic Ending (SaGa Frontier) - I always will prefer Human ending for drama, and even style.  SaGa Frontier's writing really makes it suffer here.  It's not that stylish, to me, at all.  L4D's opening, meanwhile, is awesomeness incarnate.
Miror B Fights (Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness) vs. Rofel and Dycedarg chat villainous things (Final Fantasy Tactics) - Prettier

HUMOR:
Joachim/Ana spying on Yuri/Karin (Shadow Hearts 2) vs. Bar Fight (Dragon Quest VIII) - Joachim/Ana is hot.
Ryudo Mocks Selene (Grandia II) vs. Lily Character Quest 3  (Mana Khemia 2) - Eh...I'll be honest about things in general, I really think context makes huge differences here.  I know a few people said they don't want to play games because the scenes here didn't live up to the hype without the context.  Basically, I'm voting without context for everything - seems like the fairest way to me.  That said, Ryudo is hot.

"YO WRONGNESS!"
Serph rips Vritra a new one (Digital Devil Saga 2) vs. CHRONO CROSS PLOT!!! (Chrono Cross) - I'M IN YOUR STOMACH, EATING YOUR PARIETAL CELLS!
[11:53] <+Meeple_Gorath> me reading, that's a good one

[19:26] * +Terra_Condor looks up. Star Wars Football, what?
[19:27] <+Terra_Condor> Han Kicks First?
[19:27] <%Grefter-game> Vader intercepts.
[19:27] <%Grefter-game> Touchdown and Alderaan explodes in the victory

DRAMA:
Millenia's speech re: Eye of Valmar (Grandia II) vs. Kato Owns Nicholai (Shadow Hearts 2): NECK SNAP arguments belong in style. Feels weird to vote G2 over SH2 for anything plot-related, but I do like this G2 scene, whereas the SH2 one... meh. It's only okay. Memorable at least!
Killer/Lady scene, pre-final dungeon (Shadow Hearts 3) vs. Virgil's Exit (Xenosaga 3): The last good thing to come of Xenosaga plot. This scene was an effective capstone to one of the series' best characters.

STYLE:
Opening (Left 4 Dead) vs. Asellus Mystic Ending (SaGa Frontier): As always, openings tend not to get my vote.
Miror B Fights (Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness) vs. Rofel and Dycedarg chat villainous things (Final Fantasy Tactics): Miror B deserved better.

HUMOR:
Joachim/Ana spying on Yuri/Karin (Shadow Hearts 2) vs. Bar Fight (Dragon Quest VIII): Bar fight isn't as funny as it should be.
Ryudo Mocks Selene (Grandia II) vs. Lily Character Quest 3  (Mana Khemia 2): Ryudo puts on the mockery a little TOO hard here, even though it's well-deserved. I approved, but it didn't really have me laughing. Lily is delicious unbalanced and I found this whole arc disturbingly hilarious.

"YO WRONGNESS!"
Serph rips Vritra a new one (Digital Devil Saga 2) vs. CHRONO CROSS PLOT!!! (Chrono Cross): CC plot is more headdesk-inducing. Neither is especially amusing, though.
