Best Scenes, Round 2, Pool 5 - Don't do anything rash, my friends
« on: October 18, 2010, 03:59:07 AM »

(BoF4) |||| | (tiebreak goes to the scene that's...actually a scene, not 3 scenes strung together to be a SEQUENCE which is a total cheat.  Considering I read reasons based off of "I voted on the entire trip" is proof people voted on the FULL SEQUENCE! </end rage> (yes, this is the token "I hate you all" moment of the thread))

DRAMA:
Might vs Right (SH2) vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII)
Karen's Sacrifice (Xenogears) vs. Zack's Last Stand (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)- Really not a fond of post FF7's blowsy overdone style, and this scene is filled with it.

STYLE:
Mission 1 Opening (DMC3) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2)- See the above one. DMC has the same blowsy overdone style.
Edna meets Fear (Wild ARMs XF) vs. Transcending Love (Suikoden III)- Ugh, only hard battle this week. Transcending Love is like...the height of style for me, but in the end, it's the a height of style video that feels hyper-disconnected with the game that follows it. If I was voting solely for style it would have my vote, but use of style in a game, it goes the other way.

HUMOR:
Badrach's Story (VP) vs. Tranny Kyle (LSSSC)- Actual attempt at being funny
Branky is a bad boy (Suikoden III) vs. Argilla Cosplays Sera- Actual attempt at being funny

I'M WRONG MAN, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME INCORRECT GUY!
WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOR (MMX4) vs.  What is a Man?! (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)- I have no problems with the SotN scene. I like it in the other one when she died though. Funtimes.

DRAMA:
Might vs Right (SH2) vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII): Big, big fan of this one. Latter is probably the best dramatic scene in FF8 too, so it doesn't acquit itself badly, but Might vs. Right was 3 minutes of me drinking the Cmdr King-patented gatorade of SH2 plot hype.
Karen's Sacrifice (Xenogears) vs. Zack's Last Stand (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII): You know what? I'm going to vote here. I really like this scene, both in its impact and how it ties up so much plot buildup beautifully. I would be utterly shocked if Zack's last stand impressed me on that level. It sounds like the scene is very well done in terms of cinematography, voice acting, etc. - but I know the spoilers of the actual content and that just doesn't interest me. Yes, this is technically a "cheating" vote and if it really bugs people I'll take it back. But... as it stands, I'd rather not spoil myself on this scene just to vote against it, and I'd rather not tempt myself into spoiling myself so I can support a scene I am a big fan of, so this seems to be the best option.

STYLE:
Mission 1 Opening (DMC3) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2): It's funny because of the DMC3 chess battle. Anyway. The ludicrousness of the former is certainly up my alley humour-wise. I always love a game that doesn't take itself too seriously in its style. (Well, I lie, since I distinctly don't love DMC3. But I love this aspect of it!)
Edna meets Fear (Wild ARMs XF) vs. Transcending Love (Suikoden III): Pretty much what Dhyer said.

HUMOR:
Badrach's Story (VP) vs. Tranny Kyle (LSSSC): Its dark humour just struck me. I'll vote it over a lot of things, although Tranny Kyle is solid too.
Branky is a bad boy (Suikoden III) vs. Argilla Cosplays Sera: Branky was pretty amazing, especially before having things like MK2 to spoil me on the "what the -fuck-" style of humour.

I'M WRONG MAN, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME INCORRECT GUY!
WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOR (MMX4) vs.  What is a Man?! (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night): If you squint you can kinda take the latter seriously. The former? A meme whose hype I am totally behind, it's just great.

DRAMA:
Might vs Right (SH2) vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII)- y'know, somehow I actually forgot to nom an SH2 scene.  It wouldn't have been this one, but that means very little.  SH2 has this region of about 5-10 hours at the end which is basically an endless stream of grade A storytelling.  I really like Squall's scene but ultimately FFVIII just isn't as strong a plot.
Karen's Sacrifice (Xenogears) vs. Zack's Last Stand (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)- Xenogears as a game is more about dense, high concept storytelling as a vehicle for a sappy (and awesome) love story of all things than anything else.  Which means that when they do pull out the emotional heavy artillery, they've been building you up for it the entire game and you hit the mat hard.
(Less voting against things, more voting for things.)

STYLE:
Mission 1 Opening (DMC3) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2)
Edna meets Fear (Wild ARMs XF) vs. Transcending Love (Suikoden III)- Because establishing a sudden new villain as the biggest threat in thirty seconds is always awesome.

HUMOR:
Badrach's Story (VP) vs. Tranny Kyle (LSSSC)- ... hm.  I'm really not sure.  So uh I guess I'll stay on with ciato hype.
Branky is a bad boy (Suikoden III) vs. Argilla Cosplays Sera

SHORT FORM:

DRAMA:
Might vs Right (SH2) vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII)- Both are good, Might vs. Right is better.
Karen's Sacrifice (Xenogears) vs. Zack's Last Stand (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)

STYLE:
Mission 1 Opening (DMC3) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2)- hax
Edna meets Fear (Wild ARMs XF) vs. Transcending Love (Suikoden III)- luuuulz. The polar opposite of close.

HUMOR:
Badrach's Story (VP) vs. Tranny Kyle (LSSSC)
Branky is a bad boy (Suikoden III) vs. Argilla Cosplays Sera

I'M WRONG MAN, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME INCORRECT GUY!
WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOR (MMX4) vs.  What is a Man?! (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)- I might change my vote if this were the IWBTG version where The Kid explodes into a sea of blood when getting a wine glass thrown at him. As is these two feel like Grade A ham and there's probably worse things moving on than both.

DRAMA:
Might vs Right (SH2) vs. Squall's pep talk during garden fight (FFVIII) - Good stuff this week. I just like SH2's scene a lot more.
Karen's Sacrifice (Xenogears) vs. Zack's Last Stand (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII) - It's gonna be fun when these two meet next round.

STYLE:
Mission 1 Opening (DMC3) vs. Chess Battle (ShF2) - Heh, I actually liked the ShF2 Chess Battle, but DMC is hax in style division.
Edna meets Fear (Wild ARMs XF) vs. Transcending Love (Suikoden III) - tiebreak against disconnected opening.

HUMOR:
Badrach's Story (VP) vs. Tranny Kyle (LSSSC) - Badrach does feel more Drama-y.
Branky is a bad boy (Suikoden III) vs. Argilla Cosplays Sera - Yay WTF

I'M WRONG MAN, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME INCORRECT GUY!
WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOR (MMX4) vs.  What is a Man?! (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) - Heh, I seriously liked every scene this week. It's an actual competition! I personally like the latter meme because not only is it Engrish-y and stupid, it also encapsulates the entirety of CV plot in such a succint yet terrible manner.
