The only thing that actually bugged me about him was the farming. Everything else seemed fine, and when I started getting some AP his ult started doing absolutely absurd damage. The farming was terrible, though, clearing minions was basically impossible.

I heard that a decent strategy is firing his ult straight down mid lane whenever you recall, as it gives you free farm and by the time you get back to the actual lanes the ult is back up. Might have to test with that.

Apparently I go 8-0. Alright.

Edit: His Dueling seems amazing, farming seems ABYSMAL.

What the hell

It was super easy to hold from the side. I had no trouble with any games.

2. Doom: Hangarmaggeddon
Nominated By: Kanzaris


The first 2 minutes of this song are godly and the definition of what a good song remix should be. Seriously, go listen to the original of this vs. this version. No comparison. I think the peak of this song is actually about 1 minute in, with the gun reloading sound used as a break. That was awesome.

Unfortunately, it runs out of tricks way too quickly. At the halfway mark it starts getting repetitive, and in the last minute it adds an extremely intrusive extra guitar to the mix that makes it end on a poor note. Still, that first half, aw yeah.


8.5/10
1. Donkey Kong Country 2: Lockjaw's Saga
Nominated By: todbot


I ultimately chose this song over all the others because I like every part of it a lot. The highs of the Metroid and Doom songs beat the highs of this song, but this one is just better as a whole. It's really well-put together, has a great progression, and is a great remix of Lockjaw's Saga, which is probably my favorite DKC song. It also uses this very prominent effect that I can't really describe starting at about 1:50, and if this sound effect were anything but great, it would destroy the song. But it's great, sounds cool and unique, and adds to the song still. This is a remix that tried to be unique and actually made it work.

Looking at this list, that's harder to do than I thought.

Hope you all enjoyed! More stats coming up.

3. Super Metroid: Bounty of a Brain (by Big Giant Circles)
Nominated By: Ed Bellis


The intro to this song is incredible. It may be the best intro to a song I've ever heard, no hyperbole. The rest of the song doesn't live up to the standards the intro sets, but even the stuff that comes after is a cut above other stuff.

Random aside: intros in songs are severely underrated. A good intro, or even a simple 5-second one, can make me care about a song much more. This songs basically lives off of the hype the intro creates, without it, I wouldn't care nearly as much.

4. Xenogears: Unstealable Jewel
Nominated By: Jeff Zero


This is actually probably the least-interestingly composed song of all the Xenogears stuff that was nominated, and most people here will probably find it boring, but whatever. I just really like listening to this song. I've listened to more than any other song that was nominated for this topic; it just sounds very nice. I love the change at the halfway mark, too. It's not often I would call a song 'pretty', but this would it.

5. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Sorayume (vocal)
Nominated By: dethfdddddh


Much better Higurashi vocal song than the last one. The singer really sells this one, packing a lot of emotion into the song. Then it switches it up halfway through and gets more mellow in a really cool way. It's just a pleasant song to listen to.

--
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

6. Xenogears: Bonds of Sea and Flames
Nominated By: Kanzaris


This isn't a song that tries to be amazing, but I think it's just fun to listen to. It's got a nice lighthearted feel, and I like the change in style around the halfway point. Not much else to say, it's just neato.

Spoiler for after you listen to the song: Ed Bellis won't like this one.


7.5/10 is done already. Moving on to the final set.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Sandor is alive. Brienne doesn't recognize him, I think. One of the monks around that area is very tall, and has his face covered. He's tending Sandor's horse, Stranger, which is said to viciously attack anyone but him. And the Maester guy speaks of burying 'The Hound', never referring to him by name.

7.5/10

7. Umineko no Naku Koro ni: hope (Renewal of Faith Mix)
Nominated By: Justin


It's a trance remix of Hope, and it doesn't screw it up. That's really all there is to say about this one - Hope has such a strong melody that even an inferior remix is still going to be good. It's a pretty generic trance song otherwise, but hey, Hope.

10. Touhou 12: Assault Door - Wolkenkratzer
Nominated By: FL81


Touhou jazz is apparently not bad. It's funny how much better these songs are when the samples don't make me want to kill myself.


9. Myth - The Xenogears Orchestral Album - Small Two of Pieces
Nominated By: Jeff Zero


I still can't decide if this singer is bad or good (the lyrics at least are kinda bad), but I like her either way. Melody is nice, and I still love the instrumentation of this orchestrated soundtrack. The Xenogears songs are mostly placing well because I just plain like how they sound, which is important to me.


8. Ys Seven: Falcom vs. jdk Band - Legend of the Five Great Dragons
Nominated By: FL81


Guitar wailing done right. It crosses into headache territory a few times, but for the most part it's controlled chaos with some different-styled sections for variety.


7/10 is done with. 7 songs left. Who will come out on top?!?!?

--

12. Xenogears: Balto
Nominated By: Jeff Zero


This is a really cool song. The first half is slow and calming, and the second half is like a Layton song that isn't boring. Great variety, great melody, great instruments.


11. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Mamacitas in my Valley
Nominated By: Justin


A pretty jammin' remix of Gerudo Valley. I love the remixed version of Gerudo Valley's key instrument/sound effect/beat. Unfortunately some parts are worse than the original, like whatever that annoying high-pitched 'boop-boop' sounds that gets used is, but overall it's good.

--
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

14. Subterranean Animism: Last Remote (Neutral)
Nominated By: Drakeryn


Pretty cool Touhou guitar remix. This one was originally a lot lower because it was one of the last guitar songs I listened to and my mind completely tuned it out, but subsequent list revisions brought it higher.


13. Dynamite Headdy: Waterflame - Schuhmacher Fly Remix
Nominated By: SSBDarren64


I have no idea what Dynamite Headdy is, but this song is neat, so hey. Nice instruments, nice melody, nice variety.

16. Starcraft: Eradicate and Evolve - Zerg Themes Arrangement
Nominated By: Justin


Apparently the nominator doesn't even like this anymore? Man, screw you guys. It's probably too long and overwrought but I can't help but enjoy it. It's got some segments I like and very little that I actively dislike. Good enough for me.


15. Donkey Kong Country 2 - Castle Crescendo (by Sole Signal)
Nominated By: Ed Bellis


A pretty cool remix of Krook's March, which I think is a pretty boring song. This version does a much better job at making it interesting and adds a lot more 'oomph' to it.


6.5/10 is done. List will be finished later tonight.

18. Xenogears: The Gentle Breeze Sings
Nominated By: Jeff Zero


This is a nice, soothing song with a decent melody. Not much 'happens' in it, but it's just nice to listen to. I haven't been a fan of any of the Xenogears music that has gotten into VGMC, but after hearing the orchestral version, I think it was the PS1 instruments/samples - they're much better in the orchestral version.

I don't know why every song in it has such a low volume, though. Kind of annoying.


17. Super Mario Galaxy: CarboHydroM - White Feather In The Storm
Nominated By: pjbasis


Straight-up guitar cover of that level music from Super Mario Galaxy. Cool. It works better than I thought it would.

20. Etrian Odyssey 3: Hoist the Sword with Pride in the Heart (Ayahuasca arrangement)
Nominated By: ImTheMacheteGuy


Hey, we're starting to get to guitar wailing I like. This song gives me a Guilty Gear vibe, which is a good thing. The guitars don't get too intrusive and it has a few cool parts that I like.


19. Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep: NemesisTheory - Mysterious Sleeper
Nominated By: SSBDarren64


Kingdom Hearts remix that adds some trance, has a decent melody, isn't annoying. Good enough for me!

The Pokemon anime makes its music sound way more dramatic than it actually is, which is great.

24. Shining Force - Death of the King
Nominated By: todbot


A nice little piano song from Shining Force. I like nice little piano songs.


23. Ace Combat 6: Grace Like Rain - Liberation of Gracemeria
Nominated By: Justin


This song is weird. I really like how it sounds (a.k.a. instruments and samples), and parts of it are nice, but overall it lacks cohesion, runs on for too long, and at times the original song is hard to recognize in it. Nice song to leave on in the background, though.


6/10 is done. More stats incoming.

I'm not really that strict to begin with so whatever!


26. BlazBlue: Gluttony Fang Live
Nominated By: dethfdddddh


This is basically just Gluttony Fang with an intro and slightly changed instruments. This is the least-remixed remix on the list.

Gluttony Fang is a bad song that I like, so it being just Gluttony Fang is fine with me.


25. Mega Man Zero 4: Esperanto (Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero Mythos)
Nominated By: BK_Sheikah00


This one's not bad. It takes a decent song and mixes it up nicely. No complaints here, and I've always liked MMZ music anyway.

28. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow: -The Road to Cerulean City- From Mt. Moon
Nominated By: BK_Sheikah00


Aw yeah Pokemon anime music. I have no problems with this. It's a nice rendition of a fairly standard song (that has NOSTALGIA).


27. Pictionary: Person, Place, or Groove (The Orichalcon)
Nominated By: Kaxon


This is a pretty cool song with a pretty mellow beat. It gets a bit repetitive at the end, but I like the melody and the samples well enough to not care that much.

--

On a relisten: Seized with Fury should be higher.

30. Final Fantasy VI: housethegrate - Seized with Fury
Nominated By: pjbasis


Fun fact: FF6 probably had my least-favorite soundtrack in the series. I really only like two songs in it. This remix is based off of those two songs. Good call!

It's basically a guitar medley of The Decisive Battle and The Fierce Battle that doesn't go overboard with the guitars, which I am just fine with.


29. L.E.D.: Hyper Boundary Gate (Slow Flow Mix)
Nominated by: TheKnightOfNee


Fun fact: this was the song I bumped up from 5.5 to 6 on a relisten.

I like this a good bit more than the other Nee L.E.D. song. It has a better sense of progression, doesn't overdo itself, and has some cool parts to it. Neat song.
