Umineko no Naku Koro ni - System 0: 10. One of my favorite Umineko songs. I've said before that I tend to like songs that simulate the experience of losing your mind, and nothing I've encountered quite does that like System 0. The creepy Star Trek clip, the slow build toward the trademark -45 dissonance, the breakdown with the clipped chanting, the ending where it all kind of comes together...I don't often hear this song mentioned in the same breath as the soundtrack's big names, but it clearly deserves to be there. A masterpiece.
vs.
Ys III: Wanderers from Ys (PCECD) - Illburns Ruins: 6.5. I know I overuse the word "fun" in music writeups, but this is a "fun" song. That drumbeat puts in extra work. This is one of my favorite versions of this song; it's goofy and very 90s.

and

League of Legends - Get Jinxed: 1.5. This is not something I would ever willingly listen to. I'm not saying it's bad - I think the "blahblahblah"s are funny - but I can't find anything super redeeming in it for me personally. I'm glad it's on the setlist because it represents a different - and popular! - side of the League soundtrack, but that doesn't mean I'm voting for it.
vs.
Pokmon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness & Sky - Craggy Coast: 5. I thought this said Creepy Crag and I got excited for Plok :( I am strongly considering voting against this even though there are levels upon levels of rating differences between it and Get Jinxed because at least I remember Get Jinxed. I'm forgetting this as it's playing.

and

G-Darius - H.G. Virus: 9. Ah yes, G-Darius. Of all my noms it's the one I care the most about. (Naturally I didn't think to nominate it until the very last day.) H.G. Virus is probably the weakest song (to me at least) in the set, but it just does so much cool stuff. That G-Darius industrial factory noise, the ethereal piano, the big chords, the mechanical scatting - this song is just so cool. And this is the weakest to me in the set! Hopefully we get to hear more of it throughout the contest.
vs.
Katamari Forever - Galactic S-O-U-L: 4.5. Wow those drums are loud. I like the breakdown around 2:15, then it turns a bit psychedelic. This is not what I would have expected from a Katamari song. I don't love it but I respect some of what it does. But man, I wish those drums were quieter.
