Ah. While these pools had some chaff, most of it has been cleaned out. Some good stuff here.
Battle with the Four Fiends (Final Fantasy IV) vs. The Fountain of Dreams (Super Smash Brothers Melee) - Close, going with classic.
Dancing Mad 4 (Final Fantasy VI) vs. Still Alive (Portal) - ... sorry, GLaDOS.
Prisoners of Fate (Chrono Cross) vs. Expressive Hill ~Harmonics EOLIA~ (Ar Tonelico)
Flaxen Necklace (Soul Nomad and the World Eaters) vs. The End of 1000 Years (Melty Blood Act Cadenza) - End of 1K and EOLIA can't really keep up with the quality here and are the odd ones out.
Faith is for the Transient People (Mountain of Faith) vs. Fury Sparks (Tales of Vesperia) - Reasonably close.
The Legendary Sorceror (Tales of Legendia) vs. Dark Man's Stage (Mega Man Anniversary Collection) - Legendia.
EXEC_SPHILIA/. (Ar Tonelico 2) vs. Tower of Caelum (Phantasy Star Online Episode 3) - Tower is very good, but I've a few issues with it.
Rune of Punishment ~ Meeting the Cursed Rune (Suikoden Tactics) vs. A Challenge to God - Four Kings Battle (Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song) - More emotional or something.
FAILURE BRACKET
I am the Number One! (Star Ocean 3) vs. Bitter Dance (Star Ocean 3) - Is the True Number One.
ANIME
Madlax (Madlax) vs. Tsuki no Mayu (Turn A Gundam) - Could go either way, really, hard to lose with Kanno vs. Kajiura.
Destiny ~Taiyou no Hana (Black Jack 21) vs. Inner Universe (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) - Destiny is awesome.
