Xenosaga III - godsibb VS. TalesWeaver - Battle in the Tomb of the Hero – Z80 mix -
Battle is actually pretty cool, and godsibb loops a bit too quickly, but still confident in this vote.
Muramasa - Turbulent Stage VS. Disgaea - Beautiful Rondo
Turbulence is pretty neat.
Wild ARMs XF - Intrude Upon Happiness, Plunder the Future VS. Muramasa - Desires Connected to the Enlightenment B
I'll go for heroic over weird, although some of the perc in Intrude Upon Happiness is quite annoying. It works well in-context at least.
May Sky - Bridge of Jade VS. Digital Devil Saga 2 - One Word
One Word is kind of a snoozer.
Super Robot Wars Original Generations - Steel Beowulf VS. Shadow Hearts - Death Zombie Party
Death Zombie Party is a strange pick, but not a fan of Steel Beowulf, so will go for the weird.
Wild ARMs 4 - At the End of the Wilderness Ver. Detonator VS. Touhou Fuujinroku ~ Mountain of Faith - Fall of Fall ~ Autumnal Waterfall
Fall of Fall is fine, but tough draw. I actually don't like the original At the End of the Wilderness very much but the WA4 Detonator version is great.
Guilty Gear X - Awe of She VS. Tenchu - Onikage Battle
...and the first 30 seconds made me think I would actually be voting for Awe of She, because it's pretty awesome. This is still a far superior version of the song to the earlier one, at least. Feels like Onikage Battle gets lost in the middle but it's still decent.
Berwick Saga - Berwick Saga VS. Mother 3 - Monkey Delivery Service
More fun.
ANIME
El Cazador de la Bruja - Forest VS. Tsukihime - Justice
Oh, Justice. Nice pick from Tsukihime, definitely one of my favorites from it, but sticking with my own nom here. Good match, though. (Though 64 kbps on Justice? Quality of that encoding could be better.)
R.O.D the T.V. - Theme of R.O.D. (Long Version) VS. Bakemonogatari - Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari
...yeah.
ARRANGED
SaGa Frontier 2 - Piano Pieces "SF2" ~ Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa FRONTIER 2 - "Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa FRONTIER 2" 6 VS. Zwei!! - Falcom jdk Band 2008 Spring - Mythical Land Serpentina
Very playful piano piece, could easily imagine myself in some 1900 Salon in Paris. A bit short but whatever.
Street Fighter II - OCRemix - Ryu on Four Pianos VS. Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni - est - you -mirror sky-
Ryu is a more blah piano piece, however.
