Votes for Ventus

 * 1) The character that I have the most playing as in BBS. C'mon, he holds his Keyblade backwards!
 * 2) I don't hate Vanitas as a villain, I love him. The best one in the series I think. But Ven is awesome as well, and my vote goes for him
 * 3) Ven rules, Vanitas drools.

 * 4) Most epic laugh ever. Falcos 23:53, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Most people would side with the hero in real life, but everyone loves a good villain. That and his battle theme rocks.23:55, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Pretty much the only badass from BBS -- 00:17, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * 10) Idiot XP

 * 12) Vanitas became my favorite character in BBS since the first time I saw him Venus for other side I had to get used to the Roxas appearence thing--Xabryn 21:10, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Double conflist. Curse you, Havoc. Curse you, other guy.-- Random! to a point!  23:51, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

Triple conflicts. Curse you Havoc. Curse you ShadowsTwilight. Curse you Random. CURSE YOU POOR TIMING!!!! ...Anyway, nice touch using the X-Blade in place of Oathkeeper& Oblivion.23:54, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

I like the new VS symbol, whoever did it. Falcos 23:55, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

@Falcos and Lapis, I agree it is so much more epic @Random, oh i'm just the "other guy" now?-- Shadows  Twilight  23:57, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Me and DS decided that the X-blade would look better, as Oathkeeper/Oblivion doesn't have anything to do with the Mirage Arena. I'm glad it's been well recieved. Now, time to work on getting rid of the editcount rule...

ShadowsTwilight, I don't even know you, man.-- Random! to a point!  02:23, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

That's depressing, no one voted for Ven but me D: I got your back Chitalian

Votes for Guardando Nel Buio

 * 1) How the hell can you not like Destati?!--Erry 11:10, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) People say epic too much, but this is just cool. SPANISH NAME FTW 8D -- 15:06, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Destati. Win. 17:48, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Destati = epic win. However, my main reasoning was how amazing this music was for the final boss battles. Creepy organ music + World of Choas designs = wow.-- Xion 4  ever  18:43, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Though I LOVE the other song, when played together, it's this one's driving intensity that makes the combination worth listening to. After it ends, I miss it. Superdog1123 05:20, October 18, 2010 (UTC)Superdog112
 * 6) I prefer this song, for it's so full of evil and awesomeness. Plus... I ♥ Destati.
 * 7) Ugh how can anyone not chose this one, the other one a repetitive piece of cabbage. In basic: Destati kicks ass! D.Dark. 22:49, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) For one, I like Destati. Second, don't get me wrong, I LOVE the other entry, but I overplayed it... >_> I too was blinded by its awesome. Now I can't stand it. --
 * 9) I like this because I just find it more powerful than darkness of the unknown. Plus I love hevenly choirs. I don't really like the first two darkness of the unknown versions, but the final part is good.--Bananaphone1996 02:49, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Darkness of the Unknown
— Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est — Emptiness, and yet Infinity 18:46, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Epic piano FTW.
 * 2) --ShadowsTwilight 06:53, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I played them at the same time, and it was EPIC, but since I can only vote for one...--Evnyofdeath 06:57, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Both ARE epic, but I'm partial to piano songs.Falcos 07:40, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Like this one
 * 6) For a final boss music, it's calm and soothing... Which makes the battle even more tense 17master 09:02, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) This made me feel more tense then Guardando Nel Buio in the final battle. 10:30, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) A much better fight with a much better theme. -- 17:44, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) The piano part in the beginning built up to the epic part of the song.
 * 10) I shouldn't have to explain.-- Random! to a point!  18:07, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) I like both, but I'm definitely voting for this one. - Lev  L  18:18, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Guardando suited Ansem pretty well, but this song, especially the third tier, is a perfect match for Xemnas. I always love the contrasting tone slow final boss themes have.18:32, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) Xemnas is superior to Ansem in any possible way. This song is no exception.
 * 1) It has a more undulating effect, and houses more... what's the word? Ah, yes, sadness.  Sadness > fear.  Inexistence > Darkness.
 * 2) I am taking this, particularly for the last part. A really good battle theme without agitation and percussions is rarely found. Tambours Tonnerre Ensemble !  20:04, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) This song is just a little bit better than Guardando Nel Buio.
 * 4) Guardando Nel Buio always kinda annoyed me, and this one's frenzied beat takes the cake
 * 5) Another cruddy Destati remix? This one's definitely the better choice. - Eternal  Nothingness  XIII  19:08, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

@EnvyofDeath wow youre right these two sound AWESOME when played at the same time. They blend so nicely. they should totally merge these two and work out the minor flaws and have this as the boss music for the final fight with Xehanort ShadowsTwilight 07:46, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

I just listened to them together. I think my brain imploded from awesome. About half the time, I could barely distinguish the two songs. Cool. And Ow. But mostly Cool. Falcos 17:41, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

I did, too. My head just exploded. Seriously. There is blood on the keyboard. I should probably get that checked out >_> -- 17:43, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

A genius's idea. I loved the way they blend. It makes Darkness of the Unknown more sinister, and makes it share its calm epicness with Guardando nel Buio. By the way, thirteenth vote ! — Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est — Emptiness, and yet Infinity 18:49, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Mix it up with Lord of the Castle(Re:Chain of Memories), and you have perfection!

Wow, I just played em together on a whim, and I found something everyone can agree on. Also, Shadows, its EVNY not ENVY. --Evnyofdeath 01:47, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

What if you mix it with BBS's Destati version - you know, Final Episode Boss Battle version (to avoid spoilers) ? — Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est — Emptiness, and yet Infinity 04:08, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

@Evny my bad --ShadowsTwilight 04:16, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Destai IS epic, but there is just something about Darkness of the Unknown.......--Evnyofdeath 22:52, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Void Gear

 * 1) --Xabryn 01:41, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) For teh Vanitas -- A Crono  of the Silver kind  01:47, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I prefer the real Void Gear, but this'll suffice.-- Random! to a point!  01:54, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I just like this one better. -- 02:00, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) This one looks a bit better, besides it's stats are more powerful 17master 03:03, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) vanitas is my favorite villain, so his keyblade gets extra awesome cool points, plus the monochrome makes it look even cooler --ShadowsTwilight 04:12, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I won't allow my favorite Keyblade to lose ! Besides, Void Gear is remotely useful, because it can be obtained earlier. — Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est 11:54, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) This Keyblade is very nice in design. No Name- while having better stats apparently- looks like too much like some of those stupid 358/2 days Keys. Oh,how the sea calls 16:32, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) A more creatively-named and useful Keyblade for me, since I prefer physical attacks. Besides, what can time do to nothingness?17:33, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Color scheme
 * 11) I can't beat the stupid MF to save my life. And I only want the No Name for Aqua, who's my strongest at the moment. - Eternal  Nothingness  XIII  00:58, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for No Name

 * 1) Only one I can't get. --Evnyofdeath 01:46, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Better-looking than the dull void gear.
 * 3) If the Void Gear was colored like Vanitas' Void Gear, it would have my vote. Also, No Name glows.
 * 4) I love this, it gloweth in the darketh.Erry 04:28, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Magic>Strength. Falcos 06:15, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I don't like monochrome.
 * 7) A monochrome copy of Vanitas' keyblade, or a keyblade all of its own. Unike by shape, and it's mysterious glow.
 * 8) Void Gear is very beastly and it admittingly does look very cool, but No Name's glow-in-the-dark would seriously be helpful if, say, I got stuck in a room and the power went out!
 * 9) No Name is quite pretty in many ways. 03:00, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) --Axel - Boo to you too! http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll112/Icy_Scientist/pumpkin2.gif 21:23, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Oh! Blink, blink! Glow, glow! 12:43, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Definitely a tough choice. However, this Keyblade you really have to Work for. I'm not saying VR isn't hard, but the U is like the ultimate superboss which makes NN the ultimate Keyblade. --One-Winged Angel 01:12, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

17master, just saying that technically the No Name has better stats.

Oh yeah, I'm kinda bad at deciding a good word to use lol 17master 10:09, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

I thought this would bend more in favor of Void Gear, but it seems pretty close so far. The week is young however...21:08, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * So, we're back to trying out the two sentence rule. However, we still need to discuss the repercussions of breaking this rule, so we'd appreciate everyone's feedback on the talk page.

Ah, finally a close one! Almost all of the previous matches are soo one-sided! It's good to have a close match.

Does this match remind anyone else of the Soul Calibur series? Evil sword with eyeball versus glowing magical sword? Anyone? 03:00, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

the score is even! maybe this'll be the first time we hold a sudden death? lol. BebopKate: I don't play Soul Calibur lol. 17master 11:56, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

It won't be the first sudden death, the battle of Sora vs. Riku also had a sudden death--Xabryn 12:01, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah... forgot about that ._. 17master 12:29, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

wow, the No Name won with a total vote of 13 17master 09:07, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
