The time around we're celebrating the music of Mega Man and the music of games that have taken up Mega Man's mantle. Mega Man - Mega Man 4, Mega Man X4, Mega Man Zero 4 Successors - Mighty Gunvolt Burst, 30XX, Gravity Circuit Each franchise features more games than just the initial three, but for the purposes of this competition we're going to limit to those first games. What are the rules about teams? I want to make things easy and accessible for people to participate, so there's no maximum on team size, but I'll be asking people to do their best to even out the teams once we have all of our participants signed up. There are no rules about who has to be a primary arranger for a track from week to week. Teams will be free to organize and determine how each of the three remixes gets covered. Using your teammates for collaboration and feedback is highly encouraged. Game Set Mash!! is run primarily on OCR's Discord server, so you need to make sure you join up there. I'm new to GSM, how does the competition work? Participating remixers will form 2 teams of at least 3 members each. Each team will be assigned a set of 3 games. The competition lasts 6-7 weeks, with 10-day mixing rounds alternating with 4-day voting periods. At the start of the mixing round, each team will choose and reveal 1 source tune from each of their 3 games. Each source will be paired with another source from the opposing team, for a total of 3 pairs. Each team will be responsible for writing 3 remixes for the week that combine (or mash) both source tunes in each pair. At the end of the mixing round, we'll upload the remixes and have a community vote. Voters will vote on the 3 remixes that did the best job of mashing the two source tunes together. Teams will accumulate a score based on how many of the community votes they win. In the next mixing round, we'll rotate which games get paired up with opposing games.

MD5 hashes are obscured indefinitely because we have no easy or reliable way of regenerating them when we need to correct a file. Often times we've fixed an issue with a file but the MD5 hashes were still out of date. We'll take a look at the track number issue, but moving forward, don't rely on MD5 hashes.

I assure you it did not make sense back in the day. Nothing did.

Hashes are out of date because they’re generated when the file is initially uploaded, but they don’t get updated when we make revisions to the files. It’s a big job to regenerate all hashes and set them in the database. My advice is to just ignore hashes. I plan on obfuscating that data anyway.

All of his solo works were removed from the site through mutual agreement after he was banned from the community. You won’t find his work on OCR except for a few exceptions where he was a collaborator.

We have an update to metadata/ID3 tags planned before we put out new torrents. We’ll try to get a move on with this.

No. The judging process is between the remixer and the panel. If, after a rejection, an artist wants to share the track, they can do so themselves in the Workshop.

This topic title is ridiculously long, please edit it down to something around 10-12 words.

Definitely not something we'd post. We're looking for full songs. We've posted short mixes before but 26 seconds is not enough. It's also wild that you said this is 54 seconds when half the audio file is just silence. Please familiarize yourself with the type of music OCR posts. We're not looking for little ringtone length clips. NO

Arrangement is killer, performances are killer. Production is not killer. I feel like the balance is really off here. The whole thing is sizzling, the vocals feel drowned out at points. The NO-voting judges I think are on the mark. This needs another pass on the mix. I feel distracted from enjoying this because of the balance issues. Great track, for sure want this on OCR, but let's get some help with fixing the mix up. Take it to the workshop, maybe some of our Sages or Judges can help. For now, it's a NO.

No. It’s still there. I’ll look into why it’s not showing up.

I'm calling it on this one. 12 years later and Cryamore is still not released, and there's no release on the horizon. With apologies to Garoad: we can't post this one. Aivi may have written a killer soundtrack but if that game doesn't exist, it's a no-go for OCR. NO Override

Downloads are fixed! Hit this one up, it rules.

Fixed. Download away! Phenomenal track. Glad to see it finally released. :)

Incredible. Holy moly.
