[Hidden link. Register to see links.] (from Final Fantasy IX)

vs.

[Hidden link. Register to see links.] (from Fez)

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

[arthurgolden]

Unravel - For me, both of these are top 5 in the rumble and could have gone to the finals.

The Returners - Back in September, I cold called the bandleader to see if they'd livestream their Halloween show. I thought it'd be cool to somehow integrate it into the rumble. Unfortunately, it didn't work out, but I appreciated that they tried to make it happen with the venue just for our group's benefit.

EDIT: Whoops. Stop the presses. We have a rumble first! The Returners [Hidden link. Register to see links.]. This should be [Hidden link. Register to see links.] (who won in a coin toss) vs. Doug Perry - Flow.

My new vote: Doug Perry

Also, the Best of 2016 post should be Fight 7. The "6" is a repeat from the previous post.

If this is the case, then I'm voting for Sebastian Freij

[Shad]

Well there's an oddity. My spreadsheet says one thing and my post says another.

Makes the decision easier though.

Unravel

Doug Perry - Flow

[arthurgolden]

Good to be back.

[Shad]

Yeah, I'll leave this open another day since they aren't both 3-0 sweeps.

PPF - Hot Head Bop (from Donkey Kong Country 2)

That Dragon, Cancer

Hot Head Bop - I love that they are blowing bubbles in a bucket to get the sound they want!

[Shad]

That Dragon, Cancer

PPF - Hot Head Bop

[arthurgolden]

Yowza. I really like all of these.

The Last Guardian - I'm zero for a million on predicting the finals, but for me this is a top three soundtrack in the rumble.

Carlos Eiene - Eterna Forest - I've gone from really liking this to loving it. But it's basically a draw with PPF's song.

[Shad]

Flipping a coin tomorrow if no one breaks the tie!
