Huh. There's a limit on edits? I'm not at the hour mark... Well, I wasn't when I started this, but seeing that, I waited until I'd finished to post this.
So, next opinion...ugh. An Atelier Ayesha track against something from a KVA VN? Well, I guess I'll go with the latter since that's just snoozy.
I was really surprised to discover that Spike in a Rail was one of the "newcomers"; I guess I just know it from BOST. It's really good, though. But that's by design, right? I know you tried to channel the spirit of Ed Bellis, and that means giving tough first-round opponents to Touhou songs. And Touhoulikes, apparently; Swordfish seems to have gotten off just as badly as Movin' Out did. ...Or not. Huh, glad I listened to this stuff before making up my bracket; I wouldn't have expected to be choosing either of the Acceleration of Suguri 2 matches the way I did.
...I'm going to have to try to listen through a lot of these songs all the way through just to get opinions, aren't I? I know how these vocal songs work; they often take a long time to get moving.
Again, why can't we get any
good
Bravely Default songs into this contest? I've played the game; I know they exist!

Hidra Heteromycin getting Scrap I/O in Round 2. A1 is pretty mean in general but geez.
I think you mean Hidra Heteromycin getting To Make the End of Battle. Though I'll agree that that's an absolutely brutal 4pack--a brutal
eightpack
, actually; I ended up having to redo my first round because I just instinctively went towards the ORAS song in Round 1, then when I went to "confirm" that Hitomi no LAZhWARD was the only song in that 8-pack that I
wouldn't
be happy to see come out of that 8pack, I discovered that...I actually
want
it to come out of that 8pack. I think. Paradission's really good, too.
Speaking of "What's with Board 8 and bad taste in [x]", S3&K is full of great 16-bit music and the board keeps taking crappy remixes. I'm still happy that Big Arms retired, but it's inferior to the original, and this Flying Battery is
far
inferior to the original; I think I'm actually picking against it as early as R2, and the original is one of my favorite VGMs
ever
.
Ultimate choices for Bracket A retirement round and finals:
Battle! Zinnia > Hitomi no LAZhWARD
Birth of a God > Septette for the Dead Princess
Swordfish > Dungeon of Dreams
MAXIMUM HIGH SPEED > Soar
Battle! Zinnia > MAXIMUM HIGH SPEED
...what. I know that FF music didn't really start getting awful until the PS2 era, but I didn't expect to pick against Septette this early, and certainly not for an FFVII song. Well, at least I still ultimately went with something I was already familiar with as my favorite in Bracket A.
