Bahamut Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 So I have a nice little contest here for you guys - the Mega Man X Series project is in need of some boss tracks from various games of the series, and we're letting you guys take your pick! The style must be appropriate for the X games (i.e. no slow jazzy boss song). Medleys are allowed. The deadline for this is March 1, 2010 - decision will be by the MMX project crew in collective voting. Entries are submitted to me via PM, email, etc. The first place prize is $200, a physical copy of the OCR FF4 album and a guaranteed placement in the project. The second place prize is $100. The third place prize is $50. We will welcome all good tracks that comes out of this of course! May the best person win! Edit: Here's the anonymous/untagged versions of the entries that are currently being voted on: http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~wcho6/ContestPack.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyne Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'm a bit surprised that no one has picked up on this. However, I'm bumping the thread for all to see. Seriously though, we need you guys to get on this. It's hella cool, and worth your while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chernabogue Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Wow, gonna give it a try ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Biznut Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'm definitely attempting to get a track or three ready, I shouod have enough time to get something in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Mokram Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Heck, for 250 bucks, you could get a whole album done these days. But question is: how all the other remixers on the album will feel, knowing that two persons got paid this much, while 20 equally-worthy artists haven't received a dime for their hardwork? Makes me wonder about the legitimity of introducing money in the whole 'arranging for fun' thing, and also wonder what will come next... Anyway, I hope you get plenty of entries for this. Rockman X is awesomeness! This is undoubtedly a great opportunity, so good luck to all contestants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Well, I want people to choose tracks that they want to do - the exposure will be great for those on board. I am trying to get people to do a certain type of track though because nobody stepped up to the plate in choosing them willingly (excepting for various Zero/X vs. Zero tracks for the most part), so this is to give incentive. I'm not uncle moneybags, so I don't have THAT much money to give away freely - however, I feel like $200 with a $50 second place prize should be enough incentive to get someone excited about doing such a track.

Dyne Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 C'mon guys, let's get this party started! Seriously awesome bump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doni Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hey Bahumut, A small aside, your nick name, Bahumut, reminds me of fighting Bahumut on the moon in FF2, was that not epic? Ahem, anyways, You mentioned that you want a style that is not jazzy, but could you elaborate a little bit? Anything fast-ish or.. perhaps you could give a BPM range? I'd hate to fall flat based on requirements. Not that I'd do it for the money, but 200$ would be nice. I'd probably just donate it to OCR. Since I got waxed in the *other* megaman comp my schedule has opened right up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Just that I don't want to see tracks that don't fit - I just gave that as an example of something that wouldn't fit. And so you all know, 15 days left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doni Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Alright, I'll try to make it fit. The MMX music never stuck with me, even though I played every mega man game (platformer game at least), so choosing a track(s) was difficult. But I agree with the one you thought was awesome, so hopefully you like what I come up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasfrank09 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Now THIS is a project I'll be looking forward to! MMX music has always been my favorite game music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophetik music Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 i saw money and came running. i'll try my hand at either X8, lumine's second form, or X7, vs. sigma's 1st. i might be able to mash them, dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I tried to make something with the "Vile Intro" but my attempt really sucks. I think I won't submit it xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 well that wasn't too hard. seems these boss themes lend themselves to metal pretty easily. do i just pm you an mp3, bahamut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yeah PM is fine - sent you a response just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doni Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I got some sexyness on the way. It ain't metal but it should fit right into the awesome category. You'll take awesome, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'll take awesome - in all honesty I'd probably put any track I get that fits the bill to the vote. Also 6 more days people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Bumping on up - 3 days remaining! Only 2 entries in so far for the curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Holy crap, only one day left and (nearly) no one's done anything for this? You big sillies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I suspect I'll get a few more entries tomorrow and *maybe* Monday - people want to work until the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
