Another game that Yamamoto and Takehara worked on is Final Fight 2.

You'll find strong musical similarities to X1. Worth checking out, though it won't help much with separating those two apart, obviously :b
one thing I noticed is that X2 sounds more rock oriented on the whole, quite different to X1 to my ears. By that logic I would have said that in contrast to your guesses, Yuko was responsible for some of the rockier songs, and other composers did things like Boomer Kuwanger and Chill Penguin.
Quote:
however, whenever i look into the SPC files, Yuki songs always seem to leave a channel or two out supposedly so sound effects won't interrupt music, and AA does not do this, so unless she decided not to or they told her not to, it probably isn't, but whoever did AA seems to have also done Flame Mammoth

I'm not sure channel usage is indicative of composers actually. More likely that decision would be made by a sound implementation guy, unless they were also responsible for sound implementation. Again, it's all sort of vague. We need some interviews~
