Have five more songs in round five, but I can't give them to Ed because he's already had like 3 of them. Guess it's time to start readying the sixth and final round. (I appreciate your dedication, but I may have to start turning away some of the more diligent rankers before much longer...)
And for reference, the following round 4 lists are still incomplete. (This is mostly for my reference so I don't have to save this to a file somewhere.)
KirbyDamasta Beyond the Bounds Fire Aura Moon Over the Castle Positive Force The Final Showdown?
Jeff Zero BGM Heavenly Flight Intro Music Katamari Dancing Xanadu
KP Erana's Garden Hepatica M.I.S.A Stigmata To a New Journey
Nee Four Primitive Power Mute City Morrowind theme Umbral Ultimatum
There's also probably a couple people whose toes I stepped on this morning who are still free to do their rankings if they get to it.
bedtime for me. Since Ed is going so ridiculously fast right now, I'm going to pre-emptively give him his next one. The rest of y'all will have to wait til the morning.
+5 Romancing Saga - Beat Them Up! +4 Contra - Energy Zone +3 Touhou: PCB - Capital City of Flowers in the Sky +2 Treasure Quest - He and Beauty +1 Conker's Bad Fur Day - Sloprano
Beat Them Up! is the only song among these I would even consider "average."
--
"Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!"
Beyond the Bounds is pretty good. Not my favorite Zone of the Enders song, but even still.
Star Fox - Corneria
Eh, Corneria's all right, I suppose.
Dungeon Fighter Online - Hamelin
DFO song that isn't Wind of You/Main Theme? Eh, whatever. (Hamelin's all right)
Ace Combat 6 - The Liberation of Gracemeria
Eh... I can not give this a pass for taking so long to pull itself out of mediocrity. Just on principle.
Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge - Track 3
I was so close to having been familiar with everything. I actually think I may have heard this before, but I can't honestly say I am familiar with it, at least not like the other four. This started off looking like it could be pretty good, but kind of ended up at "okay."
+5: Zone of the Enders 2 - Beyond the Bounds +4: Dungeon Fighter Online - Hamelin +3: Star Fox - Corneria +2: Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge - Track 3 +1: Ace Combat 6 - The Liberation of Gracemeria
I'll take more, I guess. Assuming that's possible.

LoZ: Link's Awakening - The Frog's Song of Soul
Wow, this is awful, but at least it has the good graces to end really fast, which is something I can really appreciate...
Mass Effect - M4 Part II
...when compared to this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. Why have I been made to listen to this song multiple times. I hate this.
Dynasty Warriors 4 - Eve
This song isn't fantastic, but it's pretty good, and pretty good becomes fantastic after the previous two songs. Eve actually has a lot of neat ideas and I'd gladly listen to it again.
Raptor: Call of the Shadows - Four
Four's pretty decent and, at the very least, pleasant to listen to. It is kind of repetitive, but it's also short, so I don't mind. Yeah, I'd listen to this again.
i maed a gam# w1th z0mb1es 1n it!!!1 - Full song
For what reason was this song created? For what reason does it continue to exist? Answer me that. It went on for 13 minutes. It never had a single minute that was above mediocre. Why does it still exist?
Rankings:
+5 Eve +4 Four ---Everything after this deserves +1, or preferably negatives+3 Full Song +2 The Frog's Song of Soul +1 M4 Part II
Edit: Oh, and I'll take one more set for an even 50, if that's all right.
Edit 2: Scratch that, miscounted and I think I'm above 50 already. Whoops. <_<

"The courtroom is the garden of holy judgment. Those with lechery in their hearts should leave this sanctuary at once!" ~Franziska von Karma
Blah, I pasted the wrong song. That was supposed to be Sloprano. Leon was supposed to get Path to the Heavens. Make it Ironsword Stage 2 then.
Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II - Stage Theme 2
xp: Certainly is. It's the four guys who have already seen over half the list who it's becoming difficulty for.
Lost Odyssey - Neverending Journey
Pepsiman - Pepsiman
Phantasy Star II - Pleasure
Amplitude - Shades of Blue
Wild aRMs - To a New Journey
Ark, I can give you more, but I am approaching my limit for combinations of stuff I can make. Maybe two more sets tops. If you have decided it's time to hit the showers, though, thank you and I'll have the results up in a few days hopefully.
Kenri, so is that a "give me more" or a "no, don't give me more?"
Mycro:
Digital Devil Saga 2 - Brahman
Wizball - High Score
Guitar Hero 2 - Jordan
Shatter - Kinetic Harvest
Illusion of Gaia - Larai Cliff ~ Where the Wind Doesn't Reach
Ha, oops. I'm losing it. I'm so preoccupied with not getting repeats for the big four that I don't even think to look if anyone else is getting a duplicate. (Damn you, Ed Bellis!) I edited the post to swap one of your's with one of Mycro's.
Dark Saint is the superior Lost Odyssey song, accept no substitutes. Neverending Journey is kind of meh. It eventually gets better but it spends about half its time getting there, which is... less than optimal.
Pepsiman - Pepsiman
Eh. ...Until the end, where this can't end soon enough.
Phantasy Star II - Pleasure
Eh. Except this time the end doesn't make me so sad.
Wild aRMs - To a New Journey
I'm actually shocked that this is a Wild ARMs song that's from WA1 that I'm okay with. Was expecting the worst.
Illusion of Gaia - Larai Cliff ~ Where the Wind Doesn't Reach
Eh, this is okay too. However, it benefits tremendously from being in this group, because I don't think I'd have it score 1st in any previous group I've had. Not even sure how many of those it'd have gotten 2nd in!
+5: Illusion of Gaia - Larai Cliff ~ Where the Wind Doesn't Reach +4: Wild aRMs - To a New Journey +3: Lost Odyssey - Neverending Journey +2: Phantasy Star II - Pleasure +1: Pepsiman - Pepsiman
I'll take more.

"And the theoretical maximum is 2880 messages, so I was only performing at 45.94% posting efficiency." - Luster Soldier
+5 Super Smash Bros. Brawl - King Dedede's Theme +4 LoZ: Ocarina of Time - Gerudo Valley Really tough choice between these two, Dedede gets it by a small margin though.
+3 Ace Combat 6 - The Liberation of Gracemeria This song wasn't bad at all, it just started off real slow. Was pretty decent once it got going.
+2 Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge - Track 3 Nothing remarkable, not awful either.
+1 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Chemical Plant Zone Never was a fan of the Sonic OST, never understood the praise. Just don't really like the way they sound.
Very cool stuff. Very atmospheric. An actual whole song, too, unlike some of these.
+4 Victory Stand
Overrating the s*** out of this because I love it.
+3 Strawberry Crisis!!
...I do not understand anything about this, but I like it. Why is there a strawberry crisis? Why is it coupled with pictures of a cute anime girl? I have no idea.
+2 Prologue Theme
And this makes me nostalgic for my parents' old Atari 800 games from the early 80's that I played growing up. Makes me happy.
According to my records, you did the other Bungie song, the title from Myth. Marathon 2 was done by Ytterbium, Ark, Drake, Nio, Ed, and you'd be #6.
Kenri:
Beautiful Katamari - Katamari Dancing
Secret of Mana - Kind Memories
Final Fantasy Adventure - Let Thoughts Ride on Knowledge
F-Zero - Mute City
Conker's Bad Fur Day - Sloprano
JC - oh no, I assure you I can do far worse. However, this is not an attempt to do so.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue - Ascend to the Heavens
Elemental Master - Blood-Stained Lake
Perfect Dark - Chicago (Stealth)
Legacy of the Wizard - Dragon Killers
Final Fantasy VIII - Force Your Way
Tom Bombadil:
Halo 3 - One Final Effort
Portal 2 - Want You Gone
Goldeneye: 007 - Archives
Myth II: Soulblighter - Main Menu Song
Donkey Kong '94 - The Final Showdown...?
Ed...golly, um...right, uh...
Chrono Trigger - Undersea Palace
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King - Heavenly Flight
Dynasty Warriors 4 - Eve
EverQuest - Felwithe
Deadly Towers - Prologue Theme
Incidentally, our sixth and final pass is almost complete. I may assign some of the truant lists to newer folks who still want to continue to participate, though. Seems like we'll finish the distribution part of this project tonight.
+5 Donkey Kong Country - Fear Factory +4 Final Fantasy VIII - Force Your Way +3 Granado Espada - M.I.S.A +2 Marathon 2: Durandal - Main Theme +1 Amplitude - Shades of Blue
+5 Halo 3 - One Final Effort Just good, classic stuff, and I'm not even a big Halo guy. I AM a sucker for piano-heavy stuff, though.
+4 Portal 2 - Want You Gone I feel like it's trying a bit hard to be Still Alive 2.0, but eh, still pretty good.
+3 Donkey Kong '94 - The Final Showdown...? I am a sucker for 8-bit...that said, it was close to losing me until some of those riffs hit. Really cool stuff.
+2 Goldeneye: 007 - Archives Nifty.
+1 Myth II: Soulblighter - Main Menu Song Waywayway too short. Had potential but I blinked and it was over.
Man, I don't even know. Except I know this is too long, that much is evident. It's sort of catchy, but only for about two minutes.
Secret of Mana - Kind Memories
Simple, but cute. I sort of like this! Even though I don't have much to say about it...
Final Fantasy Adventure - Let Thoughts Ride on Knowledge
The melody's interesting but I don't really like the samples. YEAH I KNOW IT'S A GAMEBOY GAME but they seem worse than usual.
F-Zero - Mute City
I feel like Mute City in general is better than a lot of other F-Zero songs, and then F-Zero SNES just generally has a more tolerable soundtrack than later games, so... overall this is pretty decent.
Conker's Bad Fur Day - Sloprano
This song always catches me off-guard with its language, in a good way (I think?). I feel like I should hate it, but I actually find it sort of funny... until I have to listen to the whole thing, because it really can't support itself for five minutes.
Rankings:
+5 Mute City +4 Kind Memories +3 Sloprano +2 Let Thoughts Ride on Knowledge +1 Katamari Dancing
...Side note, was I supposed to rank Sloprano? It looks like it already has 6 rankings down. <_<
