Definitely not in Switch with Japanese voices.

Matchups for the final round are up. You have two weeks to remix!

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.

Just continue to block and report.

Lyrics feel a bit awkward but the performance is killer.

What were his profile names?

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

Um...the time signature is 4/4.

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).

Perfect.

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.

Match-ups for Round 5 are up. You have until Monday to send me your tracks. Please make sure you follow the submission instructions. Good luck!

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
