JonTron, Gene, Bomberman, Greninja

For as much as I love Kano's theme, Jon's is a classic, and one that is hard to match in my opinion. Once they get past their initial build, they're basically equal 10/10s, but I think the opening to Kano's is just slightly weaker compared to Jon's. Additionally, Bomberman's theme is a theme I didn't really like that much at the start, but it grew on me.

Finally we get to a round with actual good theme songs.
By which I mean, we've finally reached Jontron's round.

Sponge vs. Gene Starwind-
Previous thoughts on Gene's theme
I do quite enjoy Sponge's theme. While other people have said that "Ballad of a Sponge" would fit better(and it may do, since it is Sponge's actual song) I believe this one fits him just as well. Putting Mario's theme in a minor key expresses his character simply enough, which is being a depressed version of Mario, and the beatboxing in the background keeps that minor key from dragging the quality of the song down. Gene's theme is, by comparison, much more excitable, but Sponge's theme just fits him too well. The lyrics of Gene's theme might fit him, but I don't understand them so get cucked Japan lol

Bomberman vs Cirno-
Previous thoughts on Cirno
Good 'ol Duane and Brando provided the song for Bomberman, which, like their Double Dragon song, takes a tune from the original game and makes a rap out of it. This theme seems to have less instrumental backing than it's Double Dragon brother, meaning that it puts more weight on the vocals to carry the song, and while it's an ok song, it doesn't feel as hype as it needs to be for an entrance theme, which would usually be fine as long as the song fit him, but the lyrics in question that dominate the song sound more aggressive and thus more heelish, and Bomberman is supposed to be a face based on his characterization and blah blah blah it's an average entrance theme. Luckily for Bomberman, Cirno's song is also very average. It's a more fast-past remix of the original song, but somehow manages to be less exciting than the original song, I would vote for the original in a heart beat, but this version is simply boring in comparison, so I must give it to Bomberman.

Blanc vs. Greninja-
Spoiler: click to toggle
Blanc's theme is a weird one to me, it has a happy, childish tone to it, performed by a very technotic sound which has a weird, darker overtone to it. I suppose it fits her, but it's doesn't fit too well as an entrance theme. And by that I mean it's a quite terrible song. Don't get me wrong, Greninja's theme is bad for an entrance theme, and anyone who thinks it works as one should be ashamed for their bad musical taste and blatant Pokemon obsession, but Blanc's theme is about as flat as her chest.


Jontron vs. Kano- Such a shame that the only two good songs here had to go up against another.
Let me tell you about Jontron's theme. I think it's a perfect entrance theme for him, you couldn't find better. It was there during his original run, and when I picked him for ARENA it was a no-brainer to use it. It's a remix of his actual theme song made perfectly for an entrance theme, it has a slow but epic build-up that announces to everybody that Jontron's about to arrive, and when the robotic "JONTRON" voice hits and the song goes until full effect, it is pure musical euphoria. Every part of that song is perfect for a theme, there isn't a single moment in the song that isn't a joy to listen to, it's a triumphant theme that screams "I'm going out to the ring and I'm going to try my hardest, win or lose." It's works an entrance theme, it works as a victory theme, it work's as Jontron's theme. Whether you like or hate Jontron can't matter, whenever you hear this, you have to feel that sense of determination as Jontron makes his way to the ring. It's tenouttaten in every aspect.

However I like Kano's theme better.

As amazing as Jontron's theme is, and I do consider him within the top ten of all BWA's themes, Kano matches that in every perspective. Those first near-quiet 5 seconds before a voice announces that "KANO WINS" almost matches Jontron's song beat for beat. Then comes the 30 seconds of damn good build-up before the lyrics kick in. Kano's theme is 90's silliness at it's best, and it works perfectly for a theme in the same way Johnny Cage's did. The song itself is pure hype, pure enjoyability, and the song describes Kano's character perfectly, not just in the sense that the woman is singing about how Kano is a "fallen angel", but also the sheer cockiness of having a song that repeats "Kano wins" as an ENTRANCE THEME is perfect. The silly yet befitting lyrics, the great instrumental, and the way the song inspires a sense of having fun in you captures the BWA spirit perfectly, and while Jontron's song is perfect for hyping him up, Kano's theme is perfect for hyping everyone up.

Hey guys! Before we start this next round, I just thought I'd let you guys know that Dose asked me to run this tournament for him for a bit.

Now, with that said, Kano moves on, beating Jontron 19-6. Gene Starwind beats sponge 21-4, Bomberman beats Cirno 21-4, and Greninja beats Blanc with a perfect 25-0.

Onto the next round!
