Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - It Has to Be This Way
Mashiro Witch - blackstarlight Etrian Odyssey V - The End of the Raging Waves MATCH 1 Break the Limit is good, but It Has to Be This Way is my favorite song in Bracket C, so this is a pretty easy match to decide. MATCH 2 This match is even easier to decide. blackstarlight is very good, and I don't really care for steelchambers2 much at all. It Has to Be This Way > End of the Raging Waves > blackstarlight > Battle = Break the Limit >> steelchambers2 Nice and easy matches today!

47. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - It Has to Be This Way (4.5) (over Passion)
vs. 41. Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius - Break the Limit (5) (for icicle, Mining Melancholy) I've never really been a big fan of what I've heard of the Revengeance soundtrack. It reminds me of a more polished, less overtly cheesy Crush 40 (whom I also don't care for), but without any of the fun wink-nodding. I can't tell if it takes itself super seriously or not, but that's certainly how It Has to Be This Way presents itself, and I'm not really interested in hearing melodramatic vocals and over-the-top rock. This would likely get a lower rating if I rerated it today. Break the Limit I ranked in my ranking topic! I still don't love it and think it runs out of ideas pretty quickly, but what it does do is enough to easily earn my vote. and 6. Mashiro Witch - blackstarlight (9) (over Lifelight, Blue Skies) vs. 1. Pinball Fantasies - steelchambers2 (10) (over Romun Empire, With their fingers entwined) It feels like every single song I rated above a 7 is up against another song I rated above a 7. :/ blackstarlight is zts solidly in Umineko form, delivering a hard punch of an electronic piece that's like giving birth to a sea urchin. Very cool find. On the other hand, steelchambers2 is my favorite song left in the contest! I'm amazed it's still in, given how the rest of my nominations have gone. It's a journey of a song across some awesome Amigs instrumentation. From the first chime-like and echoing effects to the roller coaster of a middle section, it never stops doing interesting things. I'm very pleased people liked it enough to vote it to round three. and 31. Gokinjo Boukentai - Battle (6.5) (over A. Rene) vs. 52. Etrian Odyssey V - The End of the Raging Waves (3.5) (for The Darkness Crawling) Same as their first match. Jazzy and fun SNES/SFC normally trumps orchestral rock. It certainly does here.

Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius - Break the Limit
Pinball Fantasies - steelchambers2 Gokinjo Boukentai - Battle Round 2 is a huge flip for me. I'm gonna echo Raetsel and say that this is growing on me a lot, where blackstarlight is starting to wane. EDM dark fantasy music seems to hit on a lot of the same beats--might put ENDYMION in that bubble what with its psuedo-baroque influences. I think I was first attracted to the all the glitchy stuff that goes on throughout, but aside from that it really doesn't have much else to offer. Syncopated part at 0:42 is cool, not enough to edge the vote though. Oh and song trivia is: --- Hi. I wanna play you something. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It Has to Be This Way
blackstarlight The End of the Raging Waves Great day. Match 1: IHTBTW reminds me a little bit of Linkin Park or one of those classic 2000's rock bands, which is good. This match is really tough as well. Quality rises and rises with each passing Round, as it should be. Break the Limit is probably melodically more complex, but IHTBTW sounds a little bit more effective, I think. Match 2: Battle of the songs with words attached to each other and in all lowercase! steelchambers2 doesn't actually get good until after 2:35 kicks in, which really works against it. Meanwhile, blackstarlight has a good rave since early on, even if it's a little aggressive and has some parts that aren't really too interesting. Tiebreaker: Die, monster! You don't belong in this round! Okay, so I've got to admit maybe my inherent disliking for Gokinjo is not because of the actual song, as it's a nicely crafted 16-bit song, but rather because of its overratedness (and maybe I still can't get over the fact that it completely destroyed Jenova Absolute last contest [like, what the heck?]). I thought it was just a funny meme at first, until I eventually realized people genuinely appreciated it, and finally I've kind of grown to appreciate it a little more now. Either way, I still don't think it's anything exceptional, so this match-up is quite easy as I also didn't expect (nor remembered) the Etrian Odyssey song to sound that good, since it's a rather satisfying rock song and I haven't really had any experience with Etrian Odyssey past the "meh" status. -- This was a really hard yet oddly a very fun and satisfying day for rankings. whiteastrodark > Classic 2000's Rock Song > The Beginning of the Calm Sea > metalroomstwo > Limit the Break >>>> Jokin'-yo --- It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. ...
