Tibarn vs. Lekain:
Quote
Tibarn: I'm glad I got to you first. See, I heard that the Serenes Massacre was all your doing... That puts you at the very top of the list of the enemies of the bird tribes.
Lekain: That may very well be, but I am under the divine protection of the goddess herself! A shabby sub-human pirate like yourself will find me quite invincible!
Tibarn: As much as I'd love to draw this little chat out, I don't think I can keep my talons out of your neck another instant.
Lekain: Why... Why are you laughing? Are you... enjoying yourself?
Tibarn: Some of us here are just overflowing with the chaos you're causing with this fight. That might be part of it... But, to be honest, there's a part of me that can hardly believe how much fun tearing your head off will be.

DRAMA:
Meeting Kato in the Cemetary (SH2) vs. The Miracle (SH2) - SH2 vs. SH2!
Arshtat debriefs you after Lordlake (Suikoden V) vs. Badrach's Story (Valkyrie Profile) - Wait, is Badrach's story in this competition in two categories? Well, I find it particularly strong in Drama, but S5 at its best is hard to top.

STYLE:
Death Ending (Ogre Battle) vs. Tibarn vs Lekain (FE10) - Still really like this scene. It's short, but that works for it. Also, Tibarn feels a little under-utilized in FE10, so these side scenes he gets stand out as a result.
Assault of the Silver Dragons (FF9) vs. "I wish you would embrace God." (Grim Grimoire) - trying not to spoil GG for myself, sorry.

HUMOR:
Garan's Pillow (SHC) vs. Dog Ending (Silent Hill 2) - SH2 vs. SH2, kind of!
Omlette! (Persona 4) vs. End Chapter 7 (Mana Khemia 2) - I like both of these scenes a lot. The P4 scene in particular works a lot better than the other P4 humor noms simply by the addition of Nanako to the cast's dynamic. Yeah, she's a scene-stealer, but that's definitely working in P4's favor.

LETS HAVE A WRONG DIVISION:
Shlooop (Shadow Hearts) vs. Manos, the Hand of Golbez (Final Fantasy IV) - I actually like the Shlooop scene better. I crack up every time. But, I have to vote for FF4 because I personally feel that Shlooop's hilariousness was intentional and the first glimmer of the oddly endearing comedy that's more prevalent in SH2/3.

SHORT FORM!

DRAMA:
Meeting Kato in the Cemetary (SH2) vs. The Miracle (SH2): The opposite of close frankly. Love the Yuri/Kato dynamic in this scene.
Arshtat debriefs you after Lordlake (Suikoden V) vs. Badrach's Story (Valkyrie Profile): Djinn said it best, I think.

STYLE:
Death Ending (Ogre Battle) vs. Tibarn vs Lekain (FE10): Tibarn's good fun in this scene.
Assault of the Silver Dragons (FF9) vs. "I wish you would embrace God." (Grim Grimoire): Abstain, both are good but too different.

HUMOR:
Garan's Pillow (SHC) vs. Dog Ending (Silent Hill 2): Don't care about the pillow scene enough to bother watching its opponent.
Omlette! (Persona 4) vs. End Chapter 7 (Mana Khemia 2): As I recall this P4 humour scene isn't "gag me" level like the camping trip or king's game, but it's still up against Flay being Flay at his best. Poooor Zeppel.

LETS HAVE A WRONG DIVISION:
Shlooop (Shadow Hearts) vs. Manos, the Hand of Golbez (Final Fantasy IV): Unsure. I completely disagree with Djinn and think that the humour present in shloooop is very unintentional and just bad. When it was played in front of my friends a few years back the reaction was "WTF is this? This is awful!" But awful in a kind of funny way, which is exactly what the division should be. It's just not -that- funny. And the same goes for Manos. Yeah, it's sort of facepalmery that the PCs just don't do anything to stop the glove. Meeple has done his best to try to elevant it to a bit of a meme. In a vacuum I think the latter is less "wrong" because it's FF4 and I don't expect photo-realistic cutscenes, however. I didn't really think -that- much of the scene when I first saw it, whereas shlooop? Oh you bet I thought that was wrong. So it depends on how much I emphasise the "FUNNY for the wrong reasons" (since DL memes made the latter very funny) or "funny for the WRONG reasons". And I find myself tentatively voting shloop.

Maybe.

DRAMA:
Meeting Kato in the Cemetary (SH2) vs. The Miracle (SH2)- Meeting Kato is great, but The Miracle was so impactful the first time through. The culmination of Yuri's work and love failing right before his eyes.
Arshtat debriefs you after Lordlake (Suikoden V) vs. Badrach's Story (Valkyrie Profile)

STYLE:
Assault of the Silver Dragons (FF9) vs. "I wish you would embrace God." (Grim Grimoire)- RPG badassery is always muted if they are using technology

DRAMA:
Meeting Kato in the Cemetary (SH2) vs. The Miracle (SH2)- Neither is really a favorite, so lazy kneejerk.
Arshtat debriefs you after Lordlake (Suikoden V) vs. Badrach's Story (Valkyrie Profile)

STYLE:
Death Ending (Ogre Battle) vs. Tibarn vs Lekain (FE10)
Assault of the Silver Dragons (FF9) vs. "I wish you would embrace God." (Grim Grimoire)- this I had to think about.  And... well, I feel like Lillet's moment here loses some of the power, knowing it's coming.  Assault of the Silver Dragons has never had that for me, it's always been about as powerful as it was the first time around.

HUMOR:
Garan's Pillow (SHC) vs. Dog Ending (Silent Hill 2)
Omlette! (Persona 4) vs. End Chapter 7 (Mana Khemia 2)- I... think?  Yeah, probably.

LETS HAVE A WRONG DIVISION:
Shlooop (Shadow Hearts) vs. Manos, the Hand of Golbez (Final Fantasy IV)
