Bond vs. Powers
Artists vs. TMNT

I want to vote for Gates vs. Jobs, and I'm sure it'll win anyway, but I really don't like the HAL portion of it at all.

The sixth poll option should've said "Third rapper in Bond vs. Powers" but I'm not remaking the topic again. Ah well.
As for the matches themselves, I'm gutted because I really love both Jobs vs. Gates and Bond vs. Powers. And man I really like the visuals in Bond vs. Powers (they got a guest editor), it's just so groovy and evocative of both franchises. But in the end I do like Jobs vs. Gates a bit more and I do wish Powers got another full verse...

Jobs vs. Gates
Artists vs. TMNT

Jobs vs Gates
Artists vs TMNT

Gates and Artists win

Agree with Charon about the Hal segment being a huge downer compared to the rest but I like it better anyway

Looks like Rhett and Link as Donatello and Leonardo-- probably wouldn't have noticed this time either if they hadn't been pointed out earlier.

Every one of these is good today. However, there are two that if there wasn't a tournament, if you just asked me "hey, what are some of the best and/or most memorable ERBs?" I'd have named these two:

Jobs vs Gates
Artists vs. TMNT

Bond vs. Powers (winner is modern Bond)
Artists vs. TMNT (winner is Artists)

I absolutely love the beats and the way it jumps between them in the Bond battle

And the other two are Smosh if I'm not mistaken.

Jobs vs. Gates
Artists vs. TMNT

HAL is terrible in Jobs vs. Gates, but the rest of Jobs vs. Gates is so good that it makes up for it.

Bond vs. Powers is very good. The visuals and music of Powers is so damn good. ERB has a really good flair for capturing a character's style and Powers is probably the peak of it. It made me nostalgic for Powers, which is weird because I barely liked Austin Powers as a kid. It's a shame it's against Jobs vs. Gates because I would have put it over many different battles.

Smosh verses are so much better than Rhett and Link's it's not even funny, either.

Jobs vs Gates
Artists vs TMNT

Tough draw for Bond/Powers which I'd probably put somewhere around 9th or 10th place of what made the bracket

Artists/TMNT not even that good - remember not liking it when it came out, Turtles material completely forgettable other than NYPride line, but wins by virtue of even weaker opponent.

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

I would have easily taken either battle in the second match over either battle in the first match.
