GITADORA - Nekozamurai no Gyakushuu
Okami - Ryoshima Coast
Terraria Calamity - Roar of the Jungle Dragon

MATCH 1

Not the best Nekomata Master song I've heard. I'd rather Neko Matsuri be the cat-themed rhythm game song representation. But Nekozamurai is still a good song! I won't say no to listening to cat and dog noises, but the guitar melody is definitely what I like hearing the most in this song. It's pretty solid.

Face Shrine isn't a bad song, but I'm not very interested in it. This is probably the kind of song that I'd rate around a 5/10 because I don't feel one way or the other about it.

MATCH 2

Obstacle's a pretty neat song! I did think that some of these chord changes felt PMD-esque, so I'm glad that Tox wrote something similar so that I can see that I'm not totally off base with that comment haha. Mainly the chord change at 0:38 is what gives me that feeling. I like that breakdown from 1:15-1:40 the most.

I've warmed up a little more to Ryoshima Coast compared to VGMC13, I believe, when it was last in. That said though, I still think it's decent, but not great. It has a pleasant sound, but not the best melody. The best parts to me are 0:54-1:08 and 1:29-1:43. Very close match, and I almost picked Obstacle at first when I was filling out my favorites bracket, but I think Ryoshima Coast is more my thing.

MATCH 3

Roar of the Jungle Dragon is pretty naturally up my alley. Good vocal melody and good harmonizing with the background instruments.

I can't get over how Impossible Worlds feels so much like a Tycho song lol. Even the album artwork for the soundtrack looks like something Tycho would make. When I first heard this while filling out my favorites bracket, I actually went to make sure Todd Baker and Tycho weren't the same person haha. Here's a song from him that Impossible Worlds reminds me of, to give a comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziAqB9nb_To
A few people made Boards of Canada comparisons, which I think makes a lot of sense, but I personally think some Boards of Canada songs get too ambient for me, and I'm happy that Impossible Worlds doesn't have that same issue for me. It's nice and relaxing, but it has a strong enough melodic component to hold my interest, which I think is important for a song like this. I wish I could vote for this, but Roar of the Jungle Dragon's more my thing, unfortunately.

Roar of the Jungle Dragon > Impossible Worlds = Nekozamurai no Gyakushuu > Ryoshima Coast > Obstacle > Level 6 - Face Shrine
