Well...I'll admit. This is a nice jungleish theme. Just what you expect from Donkey Kong. This is so fun loving. This put a smile on my face. 9/10
Ah how I love fighting games. Well I am quite in the mood to post this one up Vergil's Theme From Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. I don't know exactly who made it, but someone in Capcom did and this is a remake of Vergil's theme in Devil May Cry 3.
Bonus: Now I know a certain someone loves 8-bit. Here's an 8-bit version someone made of the song I found. Vergil's Theme 8-bit

Ooh. I don't play Devil May Cry, and I haven't had enough time to actually learn how to play MvC3 to actually, well, play MvC3, but based on this theme, Virgil sounds like a multifaceted and dangerous villain of a man. This isn't the kind of song that a man who blows stuff up all the time would have. This is the song that speaks of danger and confidence, and maybe an explosion or two to slowly walk away from. It doesn't have any real moments were the tension comes to a big head, but my favorite part is when all the instruments except for the electric guitar and percussion back off, followed by the chorus coming back in with a different key, with upward building from there. It feels like the tension releases, and fills the air, you know what I mean? It's a cool and menacing song that leaves an impression. I'd give it a solid 8/10.
And the 8-bit version you linked is fun too. Like I said before, I like seeing love for 8-bit songs, and seeing that manifest as people converting modern songs into 8-bit versions is actually pretty cool way to show love. It's a neat hobby with some fun results.

Crimea leads the assault! What will you do?
Well, this is a FE guild, so of course there'd be some FE music in here. You can hear those brass and the strings working through the feel of the song, giving you that overpowering feel as you literally take your Crimeans up to assault whoever you need to take down. It does mellow out a little bit, like you're getting the experience for the battle, but that in no way detracts from the song since it just rebuilds the tension. 8/10
Okay... I'm going to give a warning for this one. There's uh... 'dirty' words in this OST. Like literally. If you can't handle vulgarity, I recommend you skip this one.
The Great Mighty Poo from Conker's Bad Fur Day on the N64. Produced by Rare, and I think the lyrics are by Robert Beanland and Ed Horowitz.

I'll skip Gabriel's due to vulgarity (Sorry) and just give my rating on the previous entrant, Crimea Attacks.
This is probably one of my more favorite tracks to fight to. I can't really explain it other than it... It just caused my mind to go into what I call "Emblem Mode." Which basically means that within a matter of minutes, I can play out the entire battle (My Turn, Enemy Phase, etc.) and almost accurately predict each move the Enemy makes, thus keeping my units alive.
For my compositions... Yes, plural... I'm choosing two tracks from Final Fantasy IX and a track from Final Fantasy VIII.
First from FFIX, we have the Prelude (Also called the Crystal Theme in earlier games). The FF Prelude is featured in nearly every FF main game and spinoff so it's not that uncommon... However, this particular piece/version is very special to me. It gives me a great deal of stress relief, mainly because I LOVE it's melody. Whenever I hear this version of the Prelude, I fall into a state of relaxation so great... THE GODS ENVY IT! ...
Ahem! Next up is the title screen OST from FFIX, The Place I'll Return to Someday. Maybe it's just me but, the sound of whichever woodwind instrument that is (Flute or something... idk...) draws me to this game (FFIX) and was actually what caused FFIX to be the first main series FF game I played. In that regard, it holds a special place in my heart.
Lasst, but not least, there's the vocalized ending theme to Final Fantasy VIII, Eyes on Me. Rather than giving you my personal reasons for loving this song, I'll give you it's in-game history.
FF Wiki - In Game
In the Final Fantasy VIII storyline, "Eyes on Me" is written by Julia Heartilly about her love for Laguna Loire. Laguna, a Galbadian soldier, falls in love with Julia, a lounge piano player in a hotel. Laguna would regularly visit the lounge to watch her play but, being notoriously clumsy, he could never convey his feelings to her. She felt the same way, but his nervousness made it difficult for her to let him know. One night, after they finally told each other how they felt, Julia admitted that she wanted to sing and that she could easily write a song about Laguna, despite her previous difficulty in composing lyrics. "Eyes on Me" is that song, and the feelings conveyed in it are her feelings for him. They spent the night together, but the next day, Laguna was called away to a mission and the two would never see each other again.
"Eyes on Me" becomes a theme for the game as their love is echoed in Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly's romance, significant because Julia is Rinoa's mother and Laguna is confirmed to be Squall's father. Thus their failed romance is actually fulfilled through their children. "Eyes on Me" plays in the Ragnarok during Squall and Rinoa's journey back to earth, and an orchestral version of it plays during the game's ending theme.
FF Wiki - Development
The game developers had originally planned to use a famous vocalist in the ending of Final Fantasy VII, but the plan didn't go through due to being too abrupt, and there was no suitable theme in the story for a vocal song to suddenly come up in the ending. In Final Fantasy VIII, the other hand, the song has a meaning in the plot, and it closely relates to the game's main characters. Uematsu wrote a ballad he thought would suit the theme and asked everyone to bring in CDs with vocalists who would match it.
The team listened to countless CDs in staff meetings, but none seemed to match their expectations, until they listened to Faye Wong. Uematsu didn't even know Faye Wong prior to listening to her CD in a Squaresoft staff meeting, but her voice and mood seemed to match his image of the song perfectly. He also thought her being Chinese fit the international image of Final Fantasy.
Uematsu didn't participate himself in the negotiation to ask her to perform the song for Final Fantasy VIII. Faye Wong accepted the offer, but the recording had to take place in Hong Kong due to her schedule. Uematsu organized an orchestra and gave her a copy of the tape before the recording. Her style was to concentrate alone before recording, and sing in a one-shot deal in complete darkness. Uematsu describes Wong's skill as a singer superior and her voice as "truly heavenly".
Eyes on Me - Missing the first two lines due me liking this version better. It transitions into a slower version of the Final Fantasy Theme.
uh no, you can't do that, please go back and rate the previous song. and you can only post one song if you please.
also, please leave a rating/10 for your track. :]
(ignore this post for the next rater)~

Hm. I find this song VERY appropriate for what's going on during the scene, and I find it quite soothing, while also giving a feeling of closure to the game. I feel it's a very good song with a good melody, and the vocals being pretty good. As for my rating...I'd give it a 8/10. It's great, but it good do better.
As for my choice: Cool as Ice/Ice Man aka Radiese F Branstein's theme from Super Robot Taisen Original Generation and the SRT: OG 2
I'm currently completely obsessed with the Gundam series, I started with the original 0079 two Summers ago, and worked my way all the way up to Victory, which I am watching currently. As of now, Zeta is my favourite series, although I hear so much rave about SEED, which I am hoping it lives up to its rave. When I was on vacation in the Winter, I went to a Japanese import store, and purchased a Hyaku Shiki model, as it is my favourite mobile suit so far.
Ahem, now on to the piece..
The higher pitched tones no doubt gives this piece an icy feeling to it, which is great. At the same time, it has a feeling of urgency to it, as well as a very enjoyable moving, groovy percussion line, which makes it really fun to listen to. For the actual melody, I've already covered the urgent feel to it, but I really do have to reiterate that it feels great to listen to. It reminds me of another game, but I can't seem to recall the name of it at this moment, oh well. Anyway, this great piece deserves a 9/10 from me.
I'll bite and go with another Super Robot piece. The Wings of a Boy That Killed Adolescence, if anyone had an amazing childhood as I did. emotion_awesome From Super Robot Wars Z2, and originally composed by Kow Otani.
