    Mega Man: The Grand Robot Master Remix Battle 2011

    I think my mix need a little explanation about all the wonky transitions in it.

    The initial idea with my song was to sort of a dueling themes song where the two themes are constantly interrupting and trying to one up each other,

    gaining intensity as it goes on then eventually playing in harmony, ala dueling consoles.

    I kind of fell short on it and I wasn't feeling to great about what i had gotten down so far around thursday, I was thinking about scrapping it, but there wasn't enough time to start another mix.

    I had a lot of trouble trying to get both of the themes to mesh so i just sort of did a quick wrap up of what i had friday night and sent it in.

    I'm not making excuses or anything about my song it's just the way it happened.

    I didn't want to post anything about it until alot of the initial votes came in because the music should speak for itself, and i didn't want to appear to be a whiny loser.

    So there you have it.

    Don't let this little explanation affect any of the future voters either.

    Edit: as for the title i originally had the idea to call it "Dueling Robots" but i don't know if everyone would of gotten the reference, and it would of came off as very generic.

    I was also throwing the Amphibian Flare around a bit too. but since i feel i fell short on my mix i just went with that ridiculous title i came up with in like 20 seconds.

    I actually thought your arrangement was well done, I think I just was taken off guard by how loud it started. I was also not voting against your track title, I was mostly pointing it out

    Sorry guys I've been super busy and I just can't make the deadline. I have about half of the mix complete; it is pretty swanky. I don't want to enter it though because it really is incomplete, so far only my source was used. I hope this doesn't ruin anyone's fun... I'll try to submit or post this later when I do complete the track, which I fully intend on doing.

    At least send it to the WIP forums so we don't have to wait until it's reviewed by the judges.

    So apparently I win against Prophetik? Dude's NEVER gonna build me a computer now...:?

    Oh well.

    You're currently two votes ahead of him with two hours left, and prophetik shouldn't be mad at you for winning, since he would have won except that he got several people voting in spite against him for his earlier comments.

    Hello. This is my first post on the forums and I'm sorry if it's pretty noob-ish. >_> I have a few questions though?

    1 - As a new member, am I allowed to vote in this? I'm an avid fan of most types of music and I'd love to offer my opinion and vote as a member of the community. I love some of the re-arrangements and artists on this site and the album projects are absolutely amazing.

    2 - When I was browsing this forum before I decided to make my account, the last page had the last post at the bottom, now the first page has the last post at the top. Is there any way to change this back? D:

    Thanks in advance for replying. :)

    1. You are absolutely allowed to vote. Just make sure to vote in all of the match-ups so your vote will count.

    2. If you click the "User CP" link on the left side of the screen near the top, it will take you to a page that you can adjust your settings from. On that page, on the left side about halfway down, there should be a "Edit Options" link. On that page, most of the way down the screen, there's a "Thread Display Options" section that allows you to change how the posts are displayed. Just select "Linear - Oldest First" from the Thread Display Mode drop down menu, and then save your options. That should take care of it.

    This. Pretty much sums up what I reckon happened here. From what you said, Prophetik, those guitars aren't midi, but I must confess, I thought they WERE :P

    Fail on my part if not, but at the same time, gotta work on your guitar tone imo... something I didn't put in the vote :)

    One of your songs' lack of polish (rock and a hard place) also may have killed you in the GMRB Zero Bracket final round (although Txai's song's (New Laser Swing) polish and arrangement was excellent. I remember that round was a tough vote for me because I actually thought your arrangement was slightly better than Txai's but his song's polish was markedly higher than yours. I would be very eager to listen to a finished version of that song (rock and a hard place), since I have the version submitted for the compo on several playlists of mine already.

    Even though the quality of the polish is even lower on your submission for this compo, it's still a close vote, and you could easily still win. If you were to win, the lesson learned from this close call would be to make your mixes sound shinier, because your arrangements are always top-notch.

    I didn't really hear Spring Man that obviously in either mix, and I know one of the mixes uses midi guitars and bass and the drums sound terrible, so the vote was easy.. I find it kind of lame that you're upset how the vote is going considering the effort put into yours was far less than Draconiator's.. and Draco posted ad nauseum about making the mix and his source usage, it may not be the most obvious but it's there... You got to realize how hard your song is to listen to right? With the fake guitars+bass and downright bad drum sounds, trying to pull off a rock sound.. all that mud.. it's barely listenable.. maybe I heard the source better in Draco's because it was audible and clear.. I think you're being very offensive to Draco :-/

    0:42-1:42 is all Spring Man. 3:22-4:18 is predominantly Spring Man with a little Solar Man overlaid in a "remix." About two minutes of a four minute song would be 50-50 if my math is correct.

    Yes, prophetik's mix certainly could have used a bit more polish, but I don't find it hard to listen to by any measure. The polish was subpar enough, though, that many people wrote it off immediately. The song wasn't one of his best, but the arrangement of it was excellent. The song would have garnered many more votes if it had the same level of polish that Draconiator's did.

    i realized after writing this that this sounds abjectly harsh, and i don't mean it to be. drac's song sounds great as a remix of solar man. i don't think it stands up as a 50/50 split of both themes, though, simply because it's nowhere near 50/50.

    I think many votes favored Draconiator's polish, not necessarily the arrangement of the source tunes themselves.

    I really had to listen to find Spring Man in Draconiator's mix, but, like I mentioned in my vote, it was very prominent in yours, and I loved the treatment it got.

    If you really want to seal the deal with the votes, just get a bunch of your friends on OCRemix to vote or get the ones that aren't to join and vote. They just have to vote for every match-up for their votes to count.

    I don't think the matchups have been determined yet guys... DS said they wouldn't be up till Saturday. That way it will be a surprise and no one will have a "head start". The brackets are probably just numbered for the sake of numbering... I think we're looking to much into that.

    I did lead with a disqualifying "If"

    cheery? try, like, bubble-gum-poppy. how the heck am i supposed to rock out to a giant penis with arms? what's your superpower, spring man? I GET LONGER. what a douche :<

    ^LOL

    Tengu Man, your third pick, may be more rock-worthy.

    The question, though, is whether Darkesword will allow you to switch.

    However, since the match ups have yet to be posted, no one else has chosen that theme, and, to speak a little legalese, no one has detrimentally relied on the pairings, there should be no harm in allowing the switch if you want to.

    EDIT: I should clarify that it's Tengu Man's Mega Man 8 theme I'm referring to, not his Mega Man & Bass one.

    i have never played a single mega man game, or heard the music beyond remixes. i just went through the thread and picked a couple random ones. here's to creativity, and hopes that people didn't pick terrible tracks :<

    You've picked some good (and oft overlooked) ones. Looking forward to the tournament!!

    I don't think Fake Man is considered a robot master...pick someone else.

    Yeah, that might be somewhat of a gray area since he did technically have his own stage with unique music, yet it was not part of the main game, and he was not a "robot master" in the traditional sense (i.e. not one of the 8 robots that must be defeated to advance to Wily's stages). Probably would need to pick another.
