Hi all, I've been reeled in as co-director. So if Odai isn't available to respond, or if you anyone needs some feedback and whatnot, be sure to throw me a line via PM. Terranigma is one of my favourite SNES games, so I'm heavily invested in getting this project done, equally as much as Odai is, no doubt. Thanks!

To quote DarkeSword's original pitch for the album: Here are a couple of YouTube playlists with examples of entrances and theme songs. Also here are some sample diva theme songs for female wrestlers. You may notice that the presentation isn't just a song and a walk-on when the wrestler is introduced at an event. There's usually an introduction of some kind: sometimes a different piece of music, sometimes some kind of cheesy action sequence, sometimes just commentator banter. So we'll be making two different versions of this album: One "clean" version with just the wrestler themes, and one "event" version with all that extra stuff. This means that if you want to compose a short intro remix (30-90 seconds) to go with your main mix, that's an option--and an interesting chance to work with a very short source and a total lack of transition. Director: MindWanderer Co-Director: Chernabogue Check-In Dates: July 31, 2016 Nov. 20, 2016 April 15, 2017 July 15, 2017 Sept. 30, 2017 March 31, 2018 ReMixers First, we need ReMixers! Specifically, we need remixers who can produce songs that would work as wrestler intros. There's a fairly wide range of potential genres, but they're all loud, powerful, energetic, and epic. The playlists linked above are non-exhaustive examples you can use as a starting point. Tracklist Ultimately, I'd like to have an equal number of "faces" (heroes) and "heels" (villains and monsters). Some monsters come in pairs (The Creature and Igor, the Mummies), and if we use any of them, each one should have a corresponding tag team of heroes; this can either be a mashup of two character themes, or a single theme that covers two characters (e.g. John Morris and Eric Lecarde of Castlevania Bloodlines). Villain/monster mashups are also possible, counting as a tag team. Same thing goes for female characters: each female hero should be paired with a female villain. We can work all that when it gets close to the end, though. Here's my wish list of wrestlers, along with suggestions as to theme music. The specific music source for each isn't necessarily set in stone, but it's my opinion as to what the most appropriate choice for them would be. If you'd like to go in a different direction, I'd love to hear it!

I'd also really like at least one Mexican-inspired remix (making one wrestler a luchador), one orchestral remix, and at least one explicit tribute to Xavier Woods (which includes funk, rap, and even EDM). Female wrestlers' themes are typified by female vocalists, either rap or heavily autotuned. More rap would also be great. Posted or accepted-to-be-posted remixers can just make a claim and dive right in. Anyone else, I'll need an audition of your most best, most appropriate work for the style we're looking for. Collaboration Resource List Anyone interested in collaborating, let me know what you want to do and I'll put you on the list. Electric guitarists and vocalists are especially needed. Electric Guitar: @HeavenWraith, @Tuberz McGee, @Cyril the Wolf, @Laarx Acoustic Guitar: @Cyril the Wolf, @Laarx Vocals (male): @Cyril the Wolf Vocals (rap): Wanted Voice Actors For the "event" version of the album, we'll need some voice actors. At the very least, we'll need 3: an announcer and two commentators. The wrestlers can, optionally, have monologues during their own songs, or dialogues with their opponents. We'll recruit for these when all music is at least at the substantial WIP stage Mastering Kind of goes without saying, but not without doing. Somewhat more involved in this than in most albums, since this person will be responsible for layering on the voiceovers and any audience effects. Art In addition to front and back cover art, I'd really like to have character art of each of the wrestlers. My personal vision is that none of the wrestlers actually be monsters, just actors dressed up like them, or even just vaguely related to them thematically. Real pro wrestling has wrestlers like "The Rock," "The Snake," and even "Boogeyman," so having monster names seems perfectly appropriate.

Sooo... we're not getting pitchforks and torches?

This will be fairly late in the project. Music comes first, at least most of it. I'll be sure to reach out to you when we get closer, though! Done! Will you be doing rap? Chernabogue's right, both are valid, but Dracula's Castle is used in Castlevania: Judgement and is slightly better known, so that's what I put down at first. I'll add The Tragic Prince as an option, though. Of course, I'm a sucker for mashups....

There's still 2 days left in February! It can still happen! There'snotraileronlineyetbutthatneverstoppedanyone! BANKING ON THAT LEAP YEAR

HYPE

Guys, you can begin to really hype. Really.

Both "Pitiful Scion/Tragic Prince" and "Dracula's Castle" are Alucard's themes. "Dracula's Castle" is more famous than the other one, but mixing both could be great!

I had to check hat I didn't accidentally open two youtube videos at once. No, it's one song. One messy, terrible song. Is this one of those times where you have to listen not to the notes that are being played, but the ones that aren't being played? Because I could have done that by not watching the video.

I like this game a lot and just recently got back to playing it but i'm not thrilled with some of the choices for the music in a lot of the areas of the game. Under no circumstances should an OST mimic, no matter how closely, any overplayed pop song from a recent era. In the case of FFXIV, It completely kills the vibe that the game is trying to set up. For this boss fight it would have been much more appropriate to have rearranged one of the tracks from 1.0 that got cut when 2.0 came out. I mean, Powerman 5000 over Epic Symphonic Viking Folk Death Power Metal? That could have been so much more appropriate. And let's not forget that this POS track that somehow was actually conceived, passed Yoshida's approval and came out with the new expansion. If there is any merit to this track it will need to be explained to me. :/

Maybe it's because I main grapplers, but I feel like I have better precision with a pad. The whole 360' motion. I will say, shoulder buttons can be a bit annoying. Adjusting to Ziefs air SPD has been a bit rough though.The move gives him so many new options and ways to deal with air pressure.

My fightpad (same as Darke's, above) works on both PC and PS4. Although for the time being, you have to use a workaround to get it to work, because support for directinput is not there yet. The link Darkesword posted works perfectly and it's what I'm using. If you decide to come please add me and let me know. I have a feeling I'll be playing this game for the following years to come. Unless Overwatch takes all of my playing time, that is.

please call this album series GoodAss

This is gonna be a good one.

50, a great Milestone. Congratulations HoboKa and keep the rounds coming. Maybe if I find the time I'll enter. Depending on time etc.

Hell yes let's celebrate! I'm literally listening to this right now as I saw this thread.

I switched to Cubase two years ago for all the reasons you listed. For me FL just didn't cut it, and I was tired of having to change buffer lengths etc. only to still have pops and stutters, and crashes in my bigger files. I have a new computer too, not quite as awesome as Flexstyle's but still pretty good (quadcore, i7, 3.4GHz, 32 gigs of ram). I have my Windows 7, Cubase 8, and all VSTs on a 500 gig SSD and all my samples on a 2TB HDD, and everything runs smooth as buttah using Cubase, even with Omnisphere, Alchemy, etc. loaded up. I'm also hearing very good things about Studio One though, and I'll bet you'd get very good performance out of that too.

I'm hoping SF5 will have less focus on really long link combos and intense technical execution, and get back to the SF2 style of play... less about FADCs and extremely tight timing, and more about your tactics + strategy. Wishful thinking though.
