Topic: The NintendoLife VGM Tournament: Best City / Urban Theme (Round Two)

Both iconic bangers for entirely different reasons. I adore both but I have a very slight preference for Live and Learn so I'm going with that. Don't mind who wins though: they're both fantastic

Live and Learn. 100%

Live and Learn is awesome but One Winged Angel and the boss fight itself is one of the most standout moments I've experienced in any game ever, so uh...choice is obvious to me. I'm not sure I would've even chosen any of my own choices over it.

It helps that in hindsight I prefer Open Your Heart anyway, though.

Live and Learn.
Biased? Yes. But it’s my favorite.

The results are in and with a final score of 6-5 the winner of the best final boss theme is…

One-Winged Angel from Final Fantasy VII!

Thanks to everyone for sticking around and as always feel free to leave suggestions for the theme of the next tournament. I’ll look back to see what some of the popular ideas were last time and get a poll up in a few days so we can get things rolling on the next one.

Woooo let’s go One Winged Angel! No offense to Live and Learn, that song is incredible. But One Winged Angel is just something else entirely.

Looking forward to the next tournament!

I don't even like FF VII stuffs, sepiroth, blah blah blah... 🙄
I think I live in wrong universe.

@ThePirateCaptain
Could you make a tournament with category songs from Rhythm games ?
I know which songs should I pick for the candidates.

It would be funny, because One Winged Angel is in multiple rhythm games. So it could end up winning again!

Perhaps we could have a valentines special, and do love/seduction/wedding/etc themes.

@Eel
Did you say Seduction ? 😛

Congrats to One-Winged Angel. Pretty easy to predict, but deserving nonetheless.

As for the next tournament, what about best in-game remixes, like in Smash Bros? Official remixes of past songs in a series.

@JakedaArbok A remix tournament sounds awesome! Would love for this to happen

I really want a remix one, that would be incredible.

A tournament focused on remixes is something I’ve considered before so that’s definitely a possibility. If we were to do that I think I’d like to open it to include unofficial fan remixes as well if people are on board. We could stick strictly to official remixes but I worry it would become dominated by a few games such as Smash Bros.

Perhaps official and unofficial could be separate themes for different tournaments.

That’s what I was thinking. You probably plunge too deep into a rabbit hole if every remix in existence is on the table, so we should just stick with official ones for one tournament and maybe do fanmade somewhere down the line.

Made a tournament of Best Rhythm Games Songs and I will bring tons of candidates from BEMANI rhythm games from Konami.
Dance Dance Revolution
Para Para Paradise
Beatmania IIDX
Gitadora
Pop'n Music
Sound Voltex
Many more...

Yeah I like the idea of fan-made remixes, but I think it would do better as its own tournament. I’d be happy to do either of these, I’d have lots of nominations for both!

The problem I have is that, let's be honest, half of the official remixes are just gonna be Smash Bros songs, so I don't see the point at that point.

Then perhaps let's limit the amount of songs per game and do our best to think outside the smash box.
