cool round overall

1. facing half a beast

2. Mecha Medusa
   mv
3. Gladius
   Bren

1st place goes to td244: Definitely a grand and epic entry, even without the second half. After hearing the second half it is a DEFINITE winner!

2nd place goes to mv: Definitely captures the Gradius V boss atmosphere and adds some nice own touches to it. Those synth arpeggios are also very nice.

3rd place goes to Bren for his awesome entry. Maybe a bit too overcompressed, but a great action/battle theme for sure!

A close 4th goes to TheoryOfNonexistence, even though the song was so short it started out so perfectly it really made me wonder what would come next :)

1. Gladius
   Bren
2. Battling the Giant Beasts
   Usabell
3. Stand My Ground
   NoEscape

Gladius is what I had hoped to create without midi instruments.

Battling the Giant Beasts Is just plain well done

Stand my Ground was pretty sick for my very first attempt. lol

First Place - mv
Really good development and structure. Amazing layering! Holy crap! =O

Second Place - Jakesnke17
Very neat instrumentation. So sexy, though not quite beast-like.

Third Place - melody
Really liking the texture of this piece. It's very moving...

Honorable mentions to Flik, who would have had me if he had done a little more at the end section, and TheoryOfNonexistence for best 10 second entry ever.
