Blue Reflection - BREAKTHROUGH.EXE
Ragnarok Online II - Boss Battle
Dusk - Reflections of Violence

MATCH 1

Aaahhh this is a sad round 1 matchup! This is probably the first time this contest that I was faced with a matchup between two really good songs where I wanted to see both win. BREAKTHROUGH.EXE is very reflective of the songs I like in Blue Reflection's soundtrack. Really upbeat DnB-esque tracks with great melodic lines with pianos and violins. Tracks like these also get right into the strength of the songs unlike some songs like DNF FW15C (ALL PHASE MIX) that take a bit of time to get into their respective peaks.

And to contrast with the high energy of BREAKTHROUGH.EXE we have a very soft chill-out song in Beneath the Mask. I think pretty much all the vocal songs in Persona 5 are ones that I like a lot. Really great vibes with this song. Like I said, I really hate that I have to vote against this song because it's great but BREAKTHROUGH.EXE is just too strong.

MATCH 2

This match is definitely easier, comparatively. Ragnarok Online II's setlist was pretty surprising in how good it was! Pretty much every song, including Boss Battle, had this really cool folk sound to it that I like a lot. Definitely pretty fond of songs that sound like this. Especially the sort of Celtic sound that this song has.

I think I like City more than I liked Final Boss Theme from VGMC13. Pretty neat melody and rhythm. Perhaps I should check out more of +TEK's stuff sometime. Ultimately, though, Boss Battle's definitely more my thing than City is.

MATCH 3

Stratosphere just feels like more of your usual DEKU trance stuff. I've never really been that much of a fan of it. I guess it's pretty neat around the 2 minute mark, but it sure takes a while for it to start getting interesting.

Dusk was another very surprising setlist. I'm actually quite a big fan of metal so this song is pretty appealing to me!

Would do rankings but not enough time oops.
