Never liked anything Starving Trancer got his hands on. Plus the piano in Almagest is just pure win.

Best Nekomata song. Y'all don't know nothin'.

Simple, although I'm not a big fan of either.

Don't like either, tbh.

Blew My Mind / Sota F. - 2
煉獄のエルフェリア / 猫叉Master+ - 2
Generic SOTA song #5073 or Nekomata Master... Answer's obvious.

A cool 猫叉Master+ song, wish it was in jubeat.

For tiebreaker

Miracle 5ympho X could just ride of the "MACHINE GUN" and win. I know the song doesn't mix very well but c'mon. What other song do you know that has a machine gun?

Almagest / Galdeira - 4
Holy hell was this hard to pick.

Mynarco / positive MAD-crew - 2
Stella Sinistra / Akhuta Philharmonic Orchestra - 4
Akhuta actually has something different. Mynarco just feels like stacks on stacks on stacks of just minor effects throughout the song.

STERLING SILVER / TAG - 3
HEAVEN INSIDE / Stephen McKnight - 3
TAG just didn't do anything new for me. Sorry.

GOLDEN CROSS / dj REMO-CON vs dj TAKA - 2
ƒƒƒƒƒ / Five Hammer - 4
I flipped a coin. Seriously, it was probably even worse than the Follow Tomorrow v Almagest matchup. I really don't want to vote one off because both of these songs should go on. Sorry ƒƒƒƒƒ. :I

Snowfield Express / TIME CAPSULE Lab - 2
Pierce The Sky / JAKAZiD feat. K.N. - 4
It's very hard to compared these two. Snowfield Express is a newcomer but Pierce The Sky is pretty much ingrained into a lot of fans of X2. Snowfield Express at least tries though.

Blew My Mind / Sota F. - 3
煉獄のエルフェリア / 猫叉Master+ - 3
Is it just me or did Sota actually make an attempt to sound somewhat different? Even though it was basically a new attempt at New Decade. See what I did there?

Tiebreaker

easily one of the best songs in the series; not much can contest Almagest tbqh and not-Oboro is certainly not one of those songs
