[COLOR="green"]Posting and updating as I go through.
East:
Match 1: The Black Mages - Skies Above. Was a close match between this and Skyclad. Would have been close between CLANNAD's song and Skyclad, but then the beat picked up on Skies Above, and I just had to go with it.
Match 2: Minus the Bear - Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse. Not really any option here. The 3rd song didn't really appeal to me, but I did enjoy it's upbeat tempo and speed, and the Disney song was good, but I have other Disney songs I like better, like Hellfire or Circle of Life.
Match 3: American Hi-Fi - Flavor of the Weak Was stuck between American Hi-Fi and Santana. Usually I'm not a big Santana fan, but this is one of my favorite songs by them, and Flavor of the Weak is overall extremely upbeat and incites my pulse. Decided to go with American Hi-Fi, but it was incredibly close.
Match 4: Sick Puppies - Odd One. Good songs all around in this one. The tempo of the second song had me enjoying it quite a bit, but like a lot of video game songs, it always feels both unfinished and not having reached it's full potential due to the fact that it's usually put on repeat. Sick Puppies is a band I also happen to like, and after listening to it a few times, Odd One, oddly enough, grew on me.

Match 1: Tales of the Abyss - Meaning of Birth. First song was basic metal/rock, which, although it is something I like, the pacing and uplifting sounds of Meaning of Birth stuck with me. Quite enjoyed it.
Match 2: Ronald Jenkees - Stay Crunchy. The lowest tier bracket in the tourney. None of the songs in this bracket should go any further than this single round, simply because there are FAR better songs on the roster. Chose the one I personally liked the best out of them. The songs in the bracket are fun, and decent, but I wish I could put songs from other brackets here to give them better chances.
Match 3: Luka Megurine - 7 Days. Wonderful song. I like Deadmau5, and Strobe is probably one of my favorite songs by him, but it couldn't hold a candle to this song. Very fun and upbeat, with a nice sound. Kinda reminds me of Animal Crossing. lol
Match 4: Sanxion7 - EternuS. Pretty decent song selections. Chose this one over the other two because the beat was good. Personally I'd rank them as Sanxion > Dog Fashion Disco > 5cm Per Second.
Listened to all songs multiple times at once over a course of 3 different times to make sure I was going for the song as it was and not just how I felt at the moment.[/COLOR]
