I don't think that earned me any points with the judge...

Decided to give my vote to AA2 because it's between that and AA3, though I give special commendations to LvW and GAA which both have really good allegro themes.

I'd take GAA's actual Allegro over the Closing Argument theme but I can see why you chose that one instead since it is more distinguished from Moderato

GAA actual Allegro might legit by my favorite though

Yeah, GAA's Allegro is good, too, but I legit love Closing Argument/Summation Examination and I think it deserves some recognition.

AAI2 Presto > Layton Mass Allegro > DD > AAI1 Presto > T&T > SoJ > PW1 > AJ > GAA Summation > JFA > Layton Allegro > AAI2 Allegro > GAA Allegro > AAI1 Allegro

Presto 2011 is my favorite AA track overall, so easy vote today.

That said, I completely forgot how fucking good Mass Allegro is. The part starting at 0:30 is incredible.

I'd probably put AAI1 over DD in a vacuum, but DD's immediately makes me think of Marlon Rimes dancing and I smile every time.

This is easily my favorite batch of tracks we're going to have. We might have 7 of my top 10 in all of AA in here. It's absurd.

It's a whole bunch of the best music in the franchise. So much so that I honestly have no idea which I prefer. Almost all of them are good in their own way and which ones I prefer honestly depends on my mood and the context??

Used to be Allegro 2004 until I played AAI2 to Presto 2011, then it changed to 2007...

HM always has gone to Allegro 2013 and always will!

I don't have to relisten to anything to know that GK2 Presto takes it. It has an urgency to it capturing the unique tensions of the investigation style.

Edit: I should give an honorable mention to T&T. While the overall soundtracks of the 3DS era are stronger than the GBA games, this song has not been otherwise trumped in court.

PW1 - I like this better than the Moderato version, but I still don't love the instrumentation.

PW2 - Don't really think the higher-tempo version of this song works. There's just not enough oomph behind it.

PW3 - Still the best of the OT. I really like the DS version of the song because the little flourish between loops is much more prominent.

AJ - Boring.

AAI Allegro - This is decent. Not in love with it, but it's good.

AAI Presto - Top tier all the way through.

AAI2 Allegro - Also fine, but still inferior to the AAI1 version.

AAI2 Presto - Doesn't quite hit the hights of AAI1 Presto, but this is really good.

Layton 1 - Like yesterday, I just prefer this version to the PW1 original because the instruments are so much nicer.

Layton 2 - I think I like the Moderato version of this song a bit better, but this is still enjoyable.

DD - Perfect counterpart to the Moderato version, and it's just as good.

GAA - Ok.

GAA2 - This doesn't really resonate much with me.

SoJ - I think this is a noticable upgrade over the Moderato version. The weird electric piano is still here, but it doesn't stand out quite as much because there's other instruments that help drown it out a bit.

AAI Presto > PW3 > DD > SoJ > AAI2 Presto > Layton 1 > Layton 2 > GAA > AAI Allegro > AAI2 Allegro > PW1 > GAA2 > AJ > PW2

This is a really good batch. Any of my top 4 I could end up voting for if I came back again in a half an hour and relistened.

AAI1 Presto > Layton Mass > Great Allegro > T&T > SOJ > AAI2 Allegro > AJ > AAI2 Presto > JFA > Great Summation > Layton English > DD > PW1 > AAI1 Allegro

I don't know why AAI decided to do Presto versions, but they're amazing. AAI1 Presto is even better than AAI1 Lying Coldly. AAI2 Presto seems oddly low-energy.

Layton Mass and AJ Allegro have parts that really get stuck in my head, especially Layton Mass. I always love the Layton instruments and it's used so well in Mass.

I'm impressed with how different Moderato and Allegro are for JFA and Great Ace Attorney.

Likewise, I'm surprised you like JFA's so much!

Also I'm kinda sad nobody seems to enjoy Summation Examination as much as I do, but maybe that'll change once people get to experience it in context!

it's between aa3 and presto 09 for me for sure, really hard to choose between those two!

AA3
presto 09
AA1
presto 11
allegro 09
AA5 (for the life of me, still can't figure out the time signature of this)
AA4
AA6
allegro 11
mass inquisition allegro (great instrumentation, but not sure i love where it goes melodically)
AA2

something like this
