It is finally here, folks! :) Vote to determine what will be the greatest video game theme ever. I'll try and make this tournament fast as I can by ending matches within days. I don't have to post pictures or watch movies so this should be easy. :sly:

Everyone, please try and listen to all of the themes, even replay some of your favorites that you haven't listened to in awhile. I have some favorites from the last competition that I put in my 50 picks for this very contest and I have yet to play at least one of those games. I expect to make some new favorites and even pick some music I've never heard before over some of my beloved tracks in some of these matches. Keep an open mind and have fun. ;D

Round 1
Match #1
#1: Ratchet & Clank - Robot Plant, Planet Quartu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIZ0xmYfDX8
#2: Lance & Red Battle (Pokemon Gold and Silver) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbXOyXaJJBc
#3: Mega Man 10 - Nitro Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n4WvaDMLg4
#4: "Corneria" (Star Fox)- http://youtu.be/Gxa_8FSTkXQ

Will do:

1. Ratchet & Clank - Robot Plant, Planet Quartu
It's a shame that only the first game has a great soundtrack, this one is a great tune for hopping and bopping.

2. Mega Man 10 - Nitro Man
This is the only classic tune to come from Mega Man 10, but what an awesome one it is. How you could not dig this, I have no idea.

3. Star Fox - Corneria (SNES)
Though Star Fox 64 is the better game, the SNES soundtrack is miles ahead. This is the iconic series theme in my mind. I should have nominated the Brawl remix as well, but this more than makes up for it.

4. Lance & Red Battle (Pokemon Gold and Silver)
I've never been all too fond of boss battle music in the Pokemon games, honestly. This doesn't do much for me.

Wow, some great themes in the first round. I hope everyone listens to all the tracks, they're all good picks.

- I agree.

2. Ratchet & Clank - Robot Plant, Planet Quartu
- Funky and addictive as heck atmospheric song.

3. Star Fox - Corneria (SNES)
- An iconic series theme indeed.

4. Pokemon Gold and Silver - Lance and Red Battle
- I like it, I mean I nominated it and everything, but the other three are more memorable and better listens to me, personally.

Wow, first round and I already like all the songs! :shit:

I think they all have good music, but only the first game's OST is truly memorable for me. Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal have some great tracks as well, and I love the Groovitron songs from the PS3 games. :)

Oh yeah, there's some good tracks, but the first game has the best ones. The Groovitron in particular is awesome.  :D

I was considering nominating that Pokemon song (though the final fight song in Red and Blue is a bit better). Looks like we're about to lose, so I'll give it a boost.

1. Red & Lance Battle
2. Corneria
3. Nitro Man
4. Robot Plant, Planet Quartu

Also, I'd just like to say that I totally forget Lance used that Pokemon song as well. To me, it's just more memorable when I heard it while being destroyed by Red's first Pokemon.

I have two dogs in this race but we'll see if I try to vote them high to help them get to the next round after I listen to the other two then relisten to my picks.

Bloody Tears - Upon the relisten, BT beat Wisp for me. This theme is so addictive.
Planet Wisp - This is starting to get hit or miss for me. Well, miss is too strong of a word but I don't love it everytime I listen to it.
Ultimate Dragon - Kind of catchy.
No Mercy - I honestly haven't heard any rock from Guilty Gear that I like yet (I've never played the games, tbf)
