Topic: The NintendoLife VGM Tournament: Best Character Theme (Round One Starting!)

Obviously voted Laura’s Theme, not only because it’s a masterpiece, but because I genuinely dislike Mike’s Theme for some reason.
I personally think Linebeck’s Theme is a bit overrated… so I went with Saria’s Theme because it’s one of my favourite Zelda songs.
I’m really not a fan of those Sonic lyrical songs, so I went with Ashley’s Theme, it’s pretty good.
The last one was hard, because both songs are instrumented wonderfully, but I went with Frog’s Theme.

Sorry, it’s finals week so I’ve been busy and haven’t had a chance to post the next round. I’ll try to have it up sometime tomorrow.

No need to apologize really. You focus on the important things first.

Some closely fought matchups this time with Silent Hill 2 moving on at 6-4, Phantom Hourglass at 6-5, Sonic Adventure 2 at 6-3, Apollo Justice at 6-4, and Chrono Trigger with the tiebreaker at 5-5.

I voted Dancing Pompokolin by Captain Jack from DDR 5th Mix.

Aw it seems the ballad of the wind fish has been removed by nintendo

Koume and Kotake's theme has always been one of those songs I stop and listen to for a while whenever it happens in OoT and MM, though it is a short loop, I just like how it feels like the two sisters bickering in song form.

Dizzy's theme was pretty fun to listen to, as well.

Here's another link to Ballad of the Wind Fish, assuming this is the same one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdV-X30ZqZs

There lots of great songs in this one, and after I voted, three of the five polls were at a 2-2 tie…

Tidus’ Theme was pretty good, so I voted for that.
Lost Girl is still one of my favourite VGM songs of all time, so I had to vote for it. I really hope it moves on…
I never played Diamond and Pearl, but Cynthia’s Theme will be a song that always sticks with me because it’s amazing.
Luigi has a strangely good theme… I didn’t even know characters had themes in that game. I still went with Maya Fey because I remember her theme being awesome.
The last one was so very cruel: those are probably both in my top 10 favourite VGM songs of all time. But Fallen Down is #1, so of course I voted for it.

Dizzy's Theme is ****** amazing. Whilst I'm a big fan of Tidus' slow strings, I'd never heard Dizzy's Theme before so I had no idea what to expect and was worried it was going to go down the route of generic religious song with the operatic beginning. But the minute those hopeful guitars kicked in, it was pure bliss. Big fan of both though, don't mind who goes through.

The other ones I voted for included Ballad of the Windfish (I love Link's Awakening and hearing this makes me incredibly sad. Obviously 10/10), Cynthia's Theme (Pompokolin is an absolute banger, but I've always liked how much fear this theme struck into my heart, despite never playing Gen 4 until BDSP, where they made it EVEN BETTER), Maya Fey's Theme (this is the definition of, if you haven't played the games, it's good. If you have, it's one of the best songs in video game history) and Fallen Down (love that extra underlying melody that comes in halfway through, it's so nice).

New matchups will be coming tomorrow afternoon. Stay tuned!

@Fizza Guilty gears music is on another level! ( I’m also happy people like my pick!)

Moving on to the next round are Guilty Gear Xrd at 7-3, Link’s Awakening at 6-4, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl with the tiebreaker at 5-5, Ace Attorney at 7-3, and Undertale at 6-4.

Ugh....
Peoples just have no appreciation with DDR songs. 😩
I voted Dancing Pompokolin from DDR 5th Mix and yet still didn't make a cut.
It was tie by Pokemon OST.

Fawful vs Godot seems… Strangely fitting?

Also Big vs Shadow, both have this inherent background cringe to them, but Big’s wins because it’s fun.

Yeah, half the songs are eliminated… that’s generally how a bracket works… It’s very sad Lost Girl was eliminated in the first round, it’s such a great song it was just pit against a really popular one so early on.

This time, I voted Ace Attorney because that song is amazing. I didn’t vote on the second one because I don’t really like either one so I’ll let you guys pick. I voted for KH and Pokémon on the next two. Finally, Dark Pit is the only song I recognized this round and it’s really good so voted that one.
