(+) Yeah! (+)

Whatever it was, I probably accept completely responsibility. Unless I don't. Then it's Mycro's fault.

Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

1:45 - 3:15 in TIGAR is really awesome. Without that part I might have voted Rude Buster. 3:16 in Isoleucine is da bomb! Well, all of it really....

sorry classroom : ( i love you dv-i.............you saved my life.......!!!.......... Enormous fan of both in round 1...both of them are my noms! and yt uploads! At least this match will not be in a status where my vote will make a difference probably ha...ha...but isoleucine is too much of a deep favorite for me to vote classroom with honesty here, as much as i would like to support it. i hope this isnt TOO brutal of a blowout against classroom but isoleucine's record leads me to expect otherwise

Wow Match 1 Is My Top Two Remaining Songs In The Contest!!! it's sort of weird I'm voting for Classroom but I'm also kind of rooting for Isoleucine to win since it's my personal sort of hopeful pick for "contest champion" what with it's more broad appeal. Almost feels weird how I'm voting in match 2 by comparison because I feel like both of these matches are vaguely comparable in how I like the songs, where metaphorically Classroom = Rude Buster & Isoleucine = TIGAR, in how one song focuses on getting mostly just one theme down very well, while the other focuses on combining a bunch of themes together very well. Just so happens that Classroom's theme is very much what I'm in the mood for (well except for VOICE I guess but I can ignore it) and one of Isoleucine's themes is sorta not (but the rest of it is still so good it makes up for it for the most part). Match 2 is more "neutral" with regards to that kind of interaction but also still very relevant to my interests, and in this case the many themes one wins out. I did give match 2 a relisten because the songs were already close and TIGAR has been a song where my opinion has changed a lot on, but my vote isn't flipping here. All of these songs are great and both matches are real close (for me at least!!) !!!

favourite part:
-classroom: the 'sunset' section at 2:18! I've definitely mentioned this before. when a track seems to paint such a clear picture in my head (regardless of what context it was originally in!) I like that a lot.
-isoleucine: it's kinda hard to isolate one part of my enjoyment of this track, because a lot of it is in the way the sections flow into one another. the bridge section at 0:39 into the more upbeat reiteration of the theme is great! the more 'heroic' break at 1:44 is great! 2:24 into 2:50 into the BIG section at 3:01, great. 3:56 with that high 16ths synth, great. but these sections would lose some of their strength without the context of the others! that's the power of this track, I think-- it's such a cool, complete, evolving creation.

-every time I read 'rude buster' I mentally say it like I'm calling out a fighting move in an old anime. RUUUUUDO BUSTAAAAA

Classroom is REALLY REALLY good and I feel like I should go for it but I have to go Isoleucine. That song is a beast I'll admit it.
No vote changes right there, maintaining my position.
