in this corner, we have “the advantage.” these guys are serious musicians. listen to how they tackle the complex, rockin’ soundtrack to mega man 2. i didn’t know the human hand could move that fast. holy crap. these guys are like that jam band in high school that got hired to play all the town events, the guys who dominated all their music classes.
in this corner, we have “minibosses.” these guys fucking rock. listen to how they suck every bit of kickass from the mega man 2 music. they look like they get some serious groupie action even though they’re video game nerds. these guys are like the garage band that got banned from all the town events, the guys that dropped out of high school and are still touring small clubs together.
you decide: musical prowess or pure rockability?

it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing. you always gotta go with the band with more soul.
unless you listen to steve vai. and if you listen to steve vai then fuck you.

What about Megadriver and Powerglove? You can’t leave them out.

let’s open it up to everyone. who’s better minibosses or the advantage?
megadriver or powerglove?
then we’ll put the winners of both match-ups into a final round and decide once and for all, the best nintendocore band of all time.

My vote: Powerglove.
