Chrono Cross for 3, being an easy choice; Mega Man 3 for 4, although the Tales song isn't quite bad either.

I vote in favor of both of the latter songs in these matches: Zelda: The Wind Waker - Ocean and .hack//G.U. - Full Force (vs Cubia Core)

I've always eyeballed the Zelda WW Ocean track as a possible candidate to be featured in my SMB3 hack as a water level track. It gives the impression of an amazing watery adventure while at the same time reminds you that you've got business to attend to. Great song.

In match 6, I've never played the .hack//G.U. series, but I've played the //sign series and it has some amazing vibes. //G.U. has the same great tracks I expected from a .hack game and it fills my mind with mystery as I listen. It's got a great balance of deep synth bass beats and a spectacular harp chorus that is to die for. This particular track had a hard time against the FF6 track though, I had to think long about this one to make my final decision.

I vote for Zelda and .hack//G.U..

While the Zelda song also is bland and somewhat boring, I really don't find the F-Zero song appealing at all.

In Match 6, both songs are rather nice, but the FF one is somewhat more repetitive and less interesting from my point of view.

This was tougher than I thought, but in the end...

Zelda Wind Waker - Ocean Theme

It just felt slightly better than F-Zero even though I really liked the tone of Time For Kill.

---

FF6 - The Decisive Battle

I thought this was gonna be a no brainer but Full Force VS. Cubia was pretty good. The one thing that I didn't like though was the sudden change of tone to soft, even though one of my favorite shmup songs does the same thing (Einhander - Thermosphere). In the end, FF6's boss theme was just too darn good.

Match 5 is actually pretty tough. I nominated the F-Zero song because I really like oppressive-sounding songs, but man that Ocean theme is good. I'll have to think about this one for a bit. EDIT: I'm voting for my nomination (Chapter 6).

Match 6 is easy. The Decisive Battle is a much more engaging song.

Match 5: Zelda: The Wind Waker - Ocean. This was an easy vote for me. The F-Zero GX song didn't seem to do anything for me.

Match 6: FF6 - Decisive Battle. This one was tough because the .hack song was also very good but I have too many fond memories of FF6. I swear, I'm not being controlled by Kefka.

Wind Waker's Ocean theme is pretty good, it kept the long ocean crossings bearable sometimes... but it's just too calm in this match-up, so I'm going for F-Zero GX - Time For Kill.

I see bh is nominating half of the songs from the radio,

.
Well, this was a tough choice, but I'm going to have to say... FFVI - Decisive Battle. A couple sections of the .hack//G.U. song just seemed a bit, I dunno, "meh".

I will vote:

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World - The Wilderness of Sadness and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - Final Boss

because both of their rival songs for this round were unimpressive and unappealing to me. Then again, I haven't played either of those games so influences intended to be experienced alongside the song were missed, possibly changing what I think of them...

I'm voting for Astral Observatory, not just because I nominated it though. I'm in a nice calm mood and I don't particularly like the way the Tales song mixed rock and symphony or whatever that was.

And I vote for Phantasy Star 4- [Sad Song] Because of the depth of it rather than being a batlle tune.

Astral Observatory just isn't that good; therefore my vote is for Tales of Symphonia: DotNW - The Wilderness of Sadness because it is awesome. There's also a similarity to some Golden Sun music, which is doubly awesome.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - Final Boss is the only choice, the alternative is sort of... boring; nothing much is going on in that song. Perhaps it requires the context of the game to be good.
