Pick #44

Wait, we're not counting any more?

You guys have done an excellent job of stepping up your game these last couple rounds. Some really good picks. Slash Man was definitely the best stage track from MM7. Good pick Dennis.

Then again, losing Flash in the Dark was a killer. It would have been an easy choice here. Instead, I've subjected myself to nine different Wily possibilities, and I've flip-flopped more times than I can count. Incredibly difficult to separate. In fact, I'm surprised I'm taking this track. It leapfrogged a couple others I had in mind. Admittedly it's melody isn't the strongest, but its got atmosphere out the wazoo and a foreboding intro that really sets the tone for the whole track.

Mega Man 7 - Wily Stage 1

This next track I almost took instead of Snake Man -- in Round 2! I only held back because the last thing I need is more MM3 tracks. But it's still in my Top 5, and it's fallen long enough. I'm "shocked" (pun somewhat intended) it's still around at this point. No longer.
