SMWC Video Game Music Tournament 2016 (VOTING - SEMIFINALS)

Code Of Princess - Turn It Up!
All three sounded somewhat similar in mood- and a tad repetitive / slow to build up- but the development and guitar work in the second half elevated this one a bit higher for me. Somehow I'm not surprised this is from ACE.

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 - Solid State Scouter
Similar reasoning to the first set. I liked the guitar section toward the end, as well as the intro. The Mabinogi theme was nice despite feeling like it's not my usual style, but it became too repetitive in the second half.

Crypt of the NecroDancer - Fungal Funk
All three were nice in their own way, but this felt the most infectious, which I suppose is appropriate. Still, the Silent Hill 2 theme had a nice downbeat bittersweet-ness to it.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Snake Eater
Lyrics that aren't downright embarrassing, plus it sounds like the opening to a James Bond film. The other two are good- Raptor Rap surprisingly so- but don't quite compare to this, in my opinion.

Umm, I like the other themes, but I prefer Masked Dedede... :L

Never played this game before, but... Battle Cats all of the friggin' way! I love the jazzy sound in it, totally adding this soundtrack into my Favorite Music Playlist! :D (Someone needs to make a SMW port for this) :(

I really favored Silent Hill 2 - Alone in Town, I'm not sure about Promise... Fungal Funk sounded pretty nice, but I really like Multi Man Melee 1. I love Super Smash Bros. Melee! x)

I'm going to break the Snake Eater streak, and I'm going to go with UnderTale.

Tag (div) is closed, I just felt like saying hi.
Code Of Princess - Turn It Up! (Huh, a track that I would also have considered nominating. All three of these were good, though.)
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 - Solid State Scouter (they were all pretty decent, though the third wasn't really my style)
Super Smash Bros. Melee - Multi Man Melee 1 (I guess...this one was actually kind of a tricky choice)
Undertale - Hopes and Dreams (Raptor Rap didn't seem to go much of anywhere, and Snake Eater...I don't know. Maybe I just don't care for VGM with lyrics much.)

----------------

I'm working on a hack! Check it out here. Progress: 64/95 levels.

Kirby Triple Deluxe - Dedede's Royal Payback
Code of Princess is too rocky and the other one is blocked in Germany.

Battle Cats - Battle Theme #5 Rush
dun dun dun dun dundun dundun

Crypt of the NecroDancer - Fungal Funk
For some reason I can't stand Smash Bros. originals outside of the game.

Undertale - Hopes and Dreams
Crying as we speak

Toccata's ok but the drum track sounds really out of place and Turn It Up! is just your typical, generic "epic" tune.

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 - Solid State Scouter
Dunno. Was in the midst of something else and was able to tolerate Dragon Ball for much longer than necessary thanks to pointless 14 minute video, so yea.

Silent Hill 2 - Promise
Not near as good as the other Silent Hill 2 track, but decent nonetheless. For all I've read about NecroDancer, sort of expected something...well, not that.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Snake Eater
Disappointing when I have to choose something sub par because the other two songs are actually worse. At least it's faux Bond, though Cynthia Harrell's no Shirley Bassey.

I recently downloaded and compiled all of the entries together into a 7-zip file. The second folder is the songs from a post I accidentally skipped the first time.

FOLDER IS HERE (619 MB)
AND HERE (5.5 MB)

Songs were ripped from the youtube videos linked in the monination posts, unless the videos were of extended versions of the tracks or were unavailable for whatever reason, in which case I found appropriate length videos of the songs.

Persona 4 - I'll Face Myself (planet unknown is neat though)
Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright - Mass Inquisition ~ Allegro
Ys III - Valestein Castle
OFF - Pepper Steak
Out There Somewhere - Planet Unknown



imass inquisition ~ allegro (a little more interesting than four noble devils. the sound of my fridge running is more interesting than dark hallways)
valestein castle (not a big fan of DDR music. minecraft song is okay but has some questionable sound design choices and has some overly sudden shifts in atmosphere)
pepper steak (i nominated this for a reason, it's my jam. also in general i dislike touhou and xenoblade music stylistically and neither of these songs are an exception)
i'll face myself (decent song. kirby one isn't instrumented very nicely, fakebit one is super boring)

Romancing SaGa 3 (luigi's mansion needed luigi humming)
Ys III (I'm guessing this one isn't gonna be a contest)
OFF (I went with this because the others turned me off LOL)
Kirby 64 (nothing really stood out but this one's ok)
