Battle of the VGM v2.0

Eternal · May 20, 2011, 07:00:59 am

It's time for another Battle of the VGM! Can you believe it was December when the last one was held? Time sure flies! Here are the rules. It's simple. Simply nominate two video game tracks that are your favorite, and there'll be a vote each day for which track you like best. And then at the end only one track will remain! Will your favorite music come out on top!?

Embed your two nominations and put them in spoiler tags, please. It makes the page not slow to a crawl when loading, please!

New rule: The song you nominate CANNOT be a song entered from the last tournament. (The link to the old tournament is here: http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=6274.0) Every song must be original, so no remixes. But remakes are acceptable as long as it's in a game. For those wondering, I'm saving the 80s tournament for the summer when more people will be active so we can hopefully get more entrants.

I nominate:

Calling from Heaven (Castlevania: Bloodlines)

AND

Battle II (Final Fantasy XIV)

Wily Castle 1 - Mega Man 2

QuoteWily Castle

OKKUSENMAN! OKKUSENMAN!

*Ahem*

Obligated by contract to provide at least one Touhou song

Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind - Touhou 12 Unidentified Fantastic Object

Found a second one

うみねこのなく頃に (Umineko no Naku Koro Ni) - Umineko no Naku Koro Ni

Arcana - Prologue. Done by the same guy from HAL Labs who also did all the Kirby music. If you browse through the catalog the similarities are pretty damn striking (this is touch darker)

aaaaaand, may as well go with another SNES cult classic that starts with an A:

Actraiser - Birth of a People

Edit: Actraiser - Birth of a People Symphonic Suite. This is awesome classical music. Obviously invalid, but I just wanted to share it <3

Bloody Tears - Castlevania Symphony of the Night

Heh, I'm different and special for formatting it the sexy way

Edit: @Celdia: Music from IWBTG (Wily's 1st Castle Theme)!?

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber - The World of Today

Katamari Tribute - Houston

formerdeathcorps · May 31, 2011, 01:41:46 am

Here's two from me.

Starcraft Brood War Terran Theme 4

Fire Emblem 6 Melancholy (Brunya's Theme)

MountainDew~ · May 31, 2011, 04:44:53 am

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World - Bad Ending Theme

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance - Life Returns

Just a little music from two games I just recently played through

-I realise the Bad ending theme isn't fantastic, but it went along incredibly well with the part it featured, better than a lot of music normally does. I figured I would say it now, since people might say it sucks on its own.

GeneralStrife · June 04, 2011, 02:23:40 pm

Am totally changing one of mine since it hasn't started yet.

The amazing Star Wars: Republic Commando Mandalorian battle theme.

And the amazing tutorial music I wish I could have on the formation screen

Durbs · June 07, 2011, 12:44:26 pm

Only two... hmm...

My first one would have to be one of my personal, all time favorites. TOMO YO!!! It was this or White Tiger from 2...

Another under-represented but excellent game and song.

Sadly, with only two options, I can't advocate for Metroid, Kingdom Hearts, or Xenosaga, nor LoZ Spirit Tracks...

Durbs · June 20, 2011, 10:54:38 am

So we're not going to finish this?

GeneralStrife · June 20, 2011, 07:46:44 pm

need MOAR people to damn post VGMs!

Kaijyuu · June 20, 2011, 10:15:39 pm

Fine; but only if I can post things no one would ever expect.
