aaaaaa I should just finish this so I can move on to following the other rankings happening right now! Might still do a second one before VGMC hits though.

same person? but her english was so good in the original...2:05 kinda cool?
Score: 721
This version makes me realize how much I should appreciate the little things in the original! It really confirms for me that I enjoyed it for the instruments and textures rather than the vocal performance. Her inexperience with English and general tone become much more apparent here and make it hard for me to enjoy the melody as much as before. The guitar strumming sections are quite nice though. The effects on the original really had me convinced she was a native English speaker!

ROCK I already like this better. oh was 2:00 loop already. I guess it's not that much longer than the original
Score: 774
Not sure if I'd actually call this a good remix, since it doesn't retain the charm of the original and basically just feels like a different song with elements of the original piled on top. Fortunately, I like rock so that makes it a better song for me! And it kinda works out in that using the original adds a more magical feeling to the otherwise standard battle theme. The guitar feels like it could be doing more though, when it just plays chords the sound gets muddy without anything interesting happening. 1:12-1:36 is a really good moment! Someone in the comments said "Sounds like some hick wrestling theme from the 80s! the orginal was way better" which I couldn't help but laugh at.

no jazz, it's time for rock! um nothing is happening can something happen please. and now it's over
Score: 708
Very unengaging battle theme that just sounds like the same guitar riffs played over and over. The lack of any strong melody makes it feel like it's meant to serve as background music rather than something interesting, which I guess is a style of music that has its place in games. I certainly don't mind listening to some cool electric guitar things for three and a half minutes though, even if it's basically the same thing the whole time.

Adding one more! I've been meaning to come back to this since BOST and it showing up in Glacier's topic reminded me to check it out again.

yay go my koshiro. lead synths lack a bit of power. ok random synth solo. now guitar!
Score: 762
Definitely was not expecting this, but I actually like the original better (or whatever the version was that got nominated before)! The instruments in this one just lack the oomph and the power that I think this song really needs. It also feels like it's missing some bass to round out the low end. Solos are always cool, though they kinda felt like they came out of nowhere in this one, no buildup! The melodic elements are still there for me to enjoy, so I don't mind listening to this version either.
