Download the Music: Squad vs. Squad and Boss Battle Block 2
Squad vs. Squad Battle: You must use the poll to vote for the tracks you like better. If you’re able, please leave reviews of the tracks in this thread.
Boss Battle: Only two tracks from Team Robot were submitted, so voting for Round 8 tracks will not take place. Team Robot wins by default.
Voting ends Sunday May 28, at 9PM EDT.
- The most important thing to consider when voting is how well the remix incorporates and arranges both themes. Production and enjoyability should also be considered, but this is primarily an arrangement competition.
- Everyone is allowed (and encouraged) to vote, including competitors.
- You are required to make an actual decision for each choice, meaning, you cannot declare a draws or ties for different places. This will be counted as not voting and your vote will not be counted.
- Everyone must adhere to the Competitions Code of Conduct.

Well, Apex 2017 is not happening, so I'm shuttering this for now.

I hope that later on they expand this out and introduce Darkwing.

First things first: don't name your thread things like "I HAVE THE BEST IDEA EVER." Always name your threads what they are actually about. I renamed your thread.
As for your idea, someone already started doing this and got a C&D from Nintendo. You're free to recruit if you really want to, of course.

Maui Mallard wasn't made by Capcom, nor was it part of the Disney Afternoon.

I really want to grab this but I'm neck-deep in Persona 5 right now. Definitely going to grab it soon. Want to wait a little and see if there'll be a Switch version though.

Lyrics feel a bit awkward but the performance is killer.

Normally, I would be flattered that I've a fan, but it's a real toxic one. On Soundcloud. I've had to block him 3 different times, as he'd used slight variations of different profile names (assuming it's a HE, could be wrong), his current profile is Luxray214. And he keeps pestering me to remix Castlevania 4: Dracula's Theme. Now, he's following my comments in friends' profiles and responding to me there. I had to constantly delete his comments on my remix Uploads, because it was just causing me too much anxiety. I tried PM'ing him to talk some reason to him and it was like he never got my response at all - like it never happened.
I don't know WHY this is particularly getting under my skin...maybe because I'm already in a state of heightened anxiety, but this Luxray214 kid is really causing me a lot of grief. What should I do???
What were his profile names?

Maybe include a link to the game in the first post?

Not bad, it sounded rather simple to my ears. The drum work is interesting, don't know what time signature it is though. Also, LOL @ fade-out ending
Not a fan but decent remix.
Um...the time signature is 4/4.

Speaking of things to sell-want to sell a working PS1 (using cords for PS2)
Comes with Spryo 3 (just disc)
Been playing Okami the past week, LOVE IT.
Stopped playing every other system I have though, which is sad...Haven't played my Wii U since...around new years?
Going to buy Yooka-Laylee this weekend, hopefully, for Steam.
Hoping to get Zelda before the 13th for a 12 hour gaming marathon at my high school, but we'll see.
Anybody want Pokemon Silver?
This isn't a selling thread. Please try to stay on topic. If people want to make arrangements to sell/buy things, do it via PM or use the sale/want thread.

It's really fun. I like how it's more than just a defend-the-door horde mode that Junkenstein was (thought Junkenstein was really awesome).

Fellas, I feel as though we're not understanding the goal of the History and Study subforum. This is not a place to just post tracks you like and walk away, especially if you're "too lazy to check" who the composers of those tracks are. It's also not a place to just make a thread to say "this composer is really good" or "this composer is my favorite" and leave it at that. History and Study is, as @BardicKnowledge outlined in his welcome post, "to help describe why and how we have certain reactions to music, and to ask questions when we don't yet have that understanding. Sometimes it might be what the music is doing in the context of something else -- gameplay, art direction, etc. Sometimes it might be something neat about how the music is constructed or orchestrated. Sometimes it might be how the music relates to other pieces of game, film, or art music."
If you want to discuss Takenobu Mitsuyoshi and other composers who have written for Sega's games, that's great. But the discussion needs to go beyond the superficial "I love Sega music composers." It needs to dig into how their music relates to the games they're in. Why does it fit? What does it accomplish? What techniques did the composer use that made this piece so effective in this section of the game?

Matchups have been fixed due to an error with Team Knight on my part. Please check your match-ups.

Sega. Just - Sega. Of all the companies in the world, it's their music that comes out on top. Uematsu is a moron with a Fisher-Price keyboard compared to what these guys can do.
And Daytona USA... just... holy crap!
Takenobu Mitsuyoshi is just what this game needed. It's optimistic, catchy, and just plain awesome. I want to download the XBLA version just for the music.
I'm not sure I can describe it any better. You guys continue the love for Mitsuyoshi-san.
What you said about Uematsu is a pretty bold—and frankly, very rude—claim. Given that this subforum specifically is meant to encourage a more analytical discussion of video game music, please elaborate: what about Mitsuyoshi's work on Daytona USA stands out and elevates him to such a degree over Uematsu's impressive and expansive body of work?

Okay folks, here's how scoring is working.
Each Squad vs. Squad victory is worth 2 points; not submitting a track gets you 0 points.
For the Boss Battle, the team that has the most remixes listed in the voters' favorite 3 gets to choose between taking 9 points or to counter-pick the opposing team's remixing order for the next three rounds.
Here's where things stand: Team Robot is in the lead with 10 points (from 5 Squad vs. Squad victories) vs. Team Knight with 6 points (from 3 Squad vs. Squad victories). These victories include default victories (i.e. the opposing team did not submit a remix). There was one battle where no remixes were submitted, so no points were awarded for either team.
Team Robot has also won the Boss Battle with 18 appearances in the voters' favorites, vs. Team Knight with 12. This means that Team Robot gets to choose whether they want 9 points, or if they want to counter-pick their remixing order against Team Knight for the next three weeks.
Team Knight, please provide me with your remixing order for the next three weeks ASAP. Team Robot, please let me know if you want the points, or the counter-pick.

Bassline could be a little louder initially, but it picks up later so I'm fine with that. I'm not feeling the weirdly written solo starting around 1:46; seems to just doodle around without any strong melodic ideas, and I don't feel any kind of build in intensity. A bit repetitive as well. Other Js have outlined issues with EQ as well; I don't feel the need to restate. Give this one another look.
NO, resub

Yes, sorry, fixed.

Hey folks sorry for the delays but music and voting for the past three rounds are FINALLY up.
Just want to note a couple of things though, regarding filenames:
- Team names are Team Knight and Team Robot, not Team Knights and Team Robots
- vs. should have a period
- Your source should come first in the (Source vs. Source) section.
- Make sure you’re submitting 16bit, 44.1KHz WAVs. I had to convert some WAV files last night.
- Please PM me your links on the forums, not on Discord.
Thanks!
