Fire Emblem: Awakening - Don't speak her name!
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon - Second Dark Matter Battle
Umineko no Naku Koro ni 1 - goldenslaughterer

MATCH 1

Don't Speak Her Name utilizes a lot of really pretty melodies and harmonies in its composition like at 0:55-1:15 and 1:57-2:37. This song changes things up a lot to keep a lengthy piece like this fresh. Nice seamless parts that flow together nicely. Definitely a nice perennial entrant.

I really like Mechalullaby! Feels very much like my music tastes around 2015-ish before I really got into the whole VGM thing when I would listen to stuff like ODESZA and Tycho. Basically very chill music. The chorus of this song is my favorite part with a really nice melody and good harmonizing (see 0:35-0:46).

Very close match and I could definitely see myself flipping here, but I think I'm more in the mood for Don't Speak Her Name today.

MATCH 2

Man that "HEY-HEEEEEY" intro to Second Dark Matter Battle is so cool. Great lead-in to the violin melody starting at 0:17. The way that violin portion starts out with its first few notes is so good. The rest of the song is very good too, but that first minute or so is the biggest standout of the song for me.

Blind Justice is another cool Zektbach song. I like the dark classical vibe this song has with the chord changes as well as the organ and harpsichord. Not my favorite Zektbach song but it's definitely a good song! Second Dark Matter Battle's too good unfortunately.

MATCH 3

I love Jake Kaufman's Shovel Knight tracks and, in particular, Strike Earth, but goldenslaughterer probably beats out like 75% of the ToC bracket at least. Both very good songs here, as we've seen from prior round 2 ToC matches, but fortunately, this one's a clear choice unlike some of the others.

goldenslaughterer > Strike the Earth > Second Dark Matter Battle > Don't Speak Her Name = Blind Justice ~ Torn Souls, Hurt Faiths ~ > Mechalullaby

Another strong day! Though, very close rankings in the bottom 3.
