The arrangement isn't too bad; I like the surf-rock sound. It's a fairly straight-forward genre-adaptation with some nice soloing. I think the real problem arises from the really saturated reverb. Without it, I think the mix would sound empty, but with it, the mix sounds hollow. There's a lot of empty space here and your elements get muddied up, especially the percussion. You should scale back on the reverb and go for a slightly cleaner sound. NO

At the request of Arek, this project's coordinator, Milkyway Wishes has been cancelled. Artists are free to release their work through any venue they wish, including--but not limited to--posting the releases in the Workshop forum or submitting them to OCR.

I'm finally able to play TF2 again. Who the hell are all these newbs?!

I'm not going to make voting anonymous. People should be voting based on the music, and if they aren't, they're in the minority. I trust the community enough to play fair.

One of the reasons I read DC. Spider-Man is one of the whiniest superheroes ever.

Just wanna quickly address something that's been coming up a lot on IRC. A lot of people are disappointed that they weren't able to compete this time around because they didn't know about it or they didn't have time or whatever. I want everyone to know that judging by the success of Round One of GRMRB, I'm definitely planning on running another tournament after this one is over. The next tournament will be the Grand Maverick Remix Battle, that is to say, it's going to focus on the Mega Man X series' bosses. As of now, I have not decided on the exact dates, and sign-ups are not open, so please don't start claiming Mavericks or anything like that. I want to give the GRMRB my full attention at the moment. I'll provide further details when we get there, so for now, please enjoy the current tournament, and make sure you go vote.

Great music too. There's a lite version you can try but the full version is going for like a dollar right now. Check it out.

Thanks to Kyle for the list and a mirror. Thanks Douliface for the mirror. Voting will end at Noon on Saturday. Eastern Standard Time.

You can and should vote for yourself! Have confidence!

voting is go GO GO!!! Check the first post for details.

I'm back from Kung Fu and I'm going to eat dinner. Uploading mixes now.

Alright guys, I got everyone's mixes, but I said you have until 9PM EST to get any fixes in so 9PM EST it is. I have kung fu class UNTIL 9PM and then I have to eat so files will be up for voting sometime tonight.

We already have a thread about Bayonetta. Merged.

Nice boat. AM I RITE?

I'm so glad you guys don't work for Nintendo.

Agreed. That third movie was terrible. Apparently the plans are to reboot the franchise and do something closer to Ultimate Spider-man, with Peter in high school. Considering how great a series USM is, I'm ready for a fresh start. Hopefully they get the right creative people on board (i.e. people that know comics). They should take a cue from DC's reorganization and get actual comics writers as creative consultants on the project, especially if they're aiming for something close to USM; get Brian Michael Bendis on board!

This project is under review. Arek, contact me.

I like the back and forth between rock and acoustic elements; it keeps things fresh and dynamic throughout. Arrangement is great as well; there are some really great rockin' takes on the source balanced out by the lighter sections. I particularly like the folksy bit at 2:01. I don't think the source usage is an issue here; everything gels nicely together based on chords and melodic lines. Great job. YES

I disagree on the arrangement front. For the most part I like the interpretation, and I think the section starting around 2:25 works; things lock together harmonically. My only gripe is that around the end we just get a long vamp into the end. I think you need to alter things more sonically if you're just going to iterate the same phrases over and over again. As for production, this mix is pretty balls-to-the-wall for the entire time; I agree that things need room to breath, although I love the energy in this piece. Your lead stays pretty static throughout, maybe some switching off to something less buzzy would help in areas. I didn't vote on the last one, but as for this one, I think you're on the right track; just needs a little more and you're good. NO, resub.

Tuesday, 9PM EST.

This game was never released in the US. If you want to play it on an actual SNES, you need a PAL machine.
