Wow. I didn't think the original could be improved that much, but here I am in amazement as I was listening to the original nine(!) years ago. Fantastic stuff, and glad to see it on the top of OCR's front page.

Holy crap, it's done? I never would've believed it if I hadn't just seen the awesome trailer with my own eyes! So excited!

Oooh, single song source month, AND it's Ryu? Can't wait!!

Hooray for SaGa Frontier remixes! And a great source, too! And I'm always a fan of Blue Magic's stuff, and this one in particular has come a long way throughout all of its iterations. Nicely done!

Welcome to the world I'm currently living in re: the R/S remakes. Makes me feel very old that they're making remakes to Ruby/Sapphire. I can't believe it's been eleven years since they were originally released. Admittedly, though, if I owned a 3DS, I'd probably pick up copies of the games.

Definitely some awesome stuff (but that kind of goes without saying for TGH). Very glad to be seeing more of TGH around OCR as of late, too!

I only figuratively jizzed, but it was still awkward but mostly amazing.

Wow, and I thought the first trailer was intense. I got goosebumps watching this one.

Wow, definitely one of the better final matchups in the history of OCR compos. Nice work, you two!

All Final Fantasy games are a straight line, with or without the world map. The world map merely gives the player the illusion of non-linearity, but it's still very much there (as someone else stated, all it really did was allow for random encounters). 99% of the time, there was always one destination that the player was supposed to go to next, and there were always barriers (mountains, streams, oceans, etc) that prevented the player for accessing areas that he or she was not supposed to yet. Check out SaGa Frontier if you want an actual non-linear JRPG...of course, it didn't do that well with Western audiences because of how non-linear it is.

Wait...you mean an OCR judge doesn't come to your house and, you know, snuff you if you lose? EDIT: yeah, Taylor, I could've inserted an image of a Facebook Like icon, but I thought it'd be better to date myself by posting ASCII art

You know, Matt sacrificed his life so that we could have a worthwhile match up this round. Don't disrespect Matt's memory!

The song you created was totally worth it. I'll send you a Starbucks gift card, what's your address?

You're lucky I wasn't watching the site all week or else I would have had a flip out Hopefully you're able to put something really nice together quickly tonight

I'm a VERY big fan of Godzilla, and I'm very excited about this movie. I think that all parties involved took this one much more seriously than the failed 1998 one, and it's much truer to the spirit of the original 1954 film.

No vague threats meant to intimidate the opponent out of submitting a mix?

Punch Out is an NES C-L-A-S-S-I-C that has been largely forgotten with time (i.e. the series hasn't been given adequate attention over time) because of the Mike Tyson fallout that made them remake the original game. I'm so excited about the addition of this character. There are so many classic NES characters in the new Smash Bros that I may find myself buying a Wii U simply to play this game.

And here's the full list here: http://bestnestracks.captaintortilla.com/results/complete_list.txt Some of my favorite ones (from Godzilla - Monster of Monsters!) didn't even start to show up until #189, and one of the better ones isn't until #1283. So yeah, there isn't only just a handful of good NES track. I would say that the majority of NES tracks are good. Yes, there were limitations, but limitations breed creativity. When you have all of the technological tools at your disposal, you don't need to be creative to make something sound good.

Strader?? STRAAAAADER!!! This is how things turn out after the Sonic compo two years ago?

Progress update: I finished reading through (almost) the entire thread, so I think I'm all caught up now. Seriously, I'm very pleased to see that TheGuitahHeroe has actually signed up for a compo once again.

Curse you, elimination-style competition!! EDIT: If you don't feel like doing lyrics, you should totally do something like "My Wispy Breath" from 2012's Sonic compo

Quite an impressive composition you've put together. I'm not a musician, so I have very little technical advice to offer (I'm sure someone else will offer some tips on the mastering or the instruments), but I did thoroughly enjoy the arrangement. Like I said, the composition is quite impressive (I'm a huge fan of the Xenogears soundtrack, so I'm intimately familiar with all of the sources used).

Yeah, I'm not sure if this is symptomatic of the relative weakness of console gaming in general or of Nintendo's Wii U offerings in particular (probably a combination), but they had better turn things around this year if they hope to keep making consoles in the future.

As long as it still has some trademark Wildfire electronica, I'm good
