Oh, haha, awesome. <3
MAIN TOURNAMENT
Stickerbrush Symphony (Donkey Kong Country) vs. The Merciless Savior (Legend of Heroes VI) - Yeah, this was close for the first minute or so of Merciless Savior. And then it picks up.
Enemy Attack (Tales of Legendia) vs. One Final Effort (Halo 3) - Both were good, but Enemy Attack kept my attention for longer.
Alice (Shadow Hearts) vs. Nefertiti (Mana Khemia) - Slaughter much? Alice takes too long to get to being average, whereas Nefertiti takes about 10 seconds to get to being pure awesome.
Feel a Fear (Guilty Gear XX) vs. The Road to Tomorrow Follows Behind You (Wild ARMs 5) - Ooh, ouch. This is a close match. Feel a Fear is more my style, but is too synthy at times. So synth, in fact, that it's losing this match.
The Stage is Set (Final Fantasy VIII) vs. Primal Eyes (Parasite Eve) - Ehh, a tough one for me. Primal Eyes bothers me for some reason. It sounds like some hybrid of KH2 & FFXII, and neither of those have memorable music for a good reason. Stage is Set is less my style, but does it better, so I'm going with that.
Time of the Dreamwatch (Chrono Cross) vs. Sunlight Filtering through the Trees (Tales of Legendia) - Hmm. Both of these are decent, neither is great. I'm gonna go with Dreamwatch for being somewhat more active.
Howl of the Departed (Lost Odyssey) vs. At the Frozen Depths of the Heart (Wild ARMs 5) - UGH. THAT INTRO. What was Uematsu thinking? Part of this seems familiar - oh, it's part of Dancing Mad, but with added singing. That said, I like Dancing Mad. But the played-backwards chanting at the end? Pfft. Frozen Depths does nothing for ages, but it's still won this one.
Battle on the Big Bridge (Final Fantasy V) vs. Under the Stars (Final Fantasy Tactics) - Stars is a little plain, but nice. BotBB is definitely good, but... I just prefer Stars.
FAILURE BRACKET
Hydlide (Hydlide) vs. Honeybee Manor (Final Fantasy VII) - I sorta like Hydlide... Honeybee Manor does get tolerable, but that damn noise runs throughout the whole damn song and gets REALLY ANNOYING.
ANIME
Canta Per Me (Noir) vs. Rise (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig) - Uhh, I think. Might re-listen, but probably going with this.
Bring all the Wisdom to Britain! (Read or Die OVA) vs. Hanabi (Bleach) - Took a few listens to decide, but definitely this one.
