djpretzel Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Tempted to direct post, but not QUITE as good as Punch-Out. I still think it's great stuff and should be on the site, but I also think it should be judged. -djp This e-mail was sent in February, but I'm not sure you got it, because I never received a confirmation e-mail. Anyway, even if you did, please read it through once more since I added some information. Hello, this is Elisabeth (Wire) from Game Over. Hope you're fine. I'm writing to you because I would like to submit another Game Over remix from our (old) demo, "Nintendo Metal". Our new material isn't ready for submission yet and will not be for a while (although we're working hard! So, a new submission from us would prevent people from forgetting us or thinking that Game Over is no more. Anyway, here's the address where you can download our remix: Some data: Name of remix: "Cataclysmic Clash" which consists of the Top Man theme from Mega Man 3 and the boss theme from Mega Man 2 plus the small jingle that appears when you select a boss from the boss map. Name of band: Game Over Website: www.nintendometal.com E-mail: gameover@nintendometal.com Lyrics can be found (and copied if you like) below the message in this e-mail. Well, now that I have your attention I want to ask you if you would like to participate on our new demo. We need someone to say, like, two sentences in our new Streetfighter 2 Ken cover. I would be really cool if you did it! I think I sent a private message to you via Ocremix. You will find more information in that message. I also want to tell you that you're doing an excellent job with Overclocked ReMix! Keep it up! Your site is needed and loved. Regards, /Elisabeth. Lyrics: CATACLYSMIC CLASH Mining terror, eyes ablaze Feel the power of insurrection Robot blisters, metal wounds Cyborgs heading for war section Rebellion's pounding from below Monsteropolis is on fire Searching snakes and shadow blades The evil doctor's desire Chorus: Dwelling in infernal mine of pain Shoot and spin like a hurricane Twist and charge, attacking is in vain Fatal megalomaniac, he's insane Boiling steel of man-made flesh Put an end to the obedience Oil is staining on their hands And ahead lies their vengeance Rusty bodies torn apart Iron scattered in the night Desert lies this future scenery Dead is all the faith of Light (Chorus) Chorus 2: Fading blackened smoke where they fell Silent as if someone's cast a spell From the ground this evil deadly smell Cataclysmic clash in the name of hell Enter annihilation No turning back Cataclysmic clash (Lyrics by Wire McQuaid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Obvious comparisons are going to be drawn from this song to Punchout, and rightly so. On a purely technical level, there's nothing particularly wrong with it. Levels are fine. Full sound. Competant arrangement. Etc, etc, etc-- I think on an emotional/personal level, I have gripes with some of the lyrics, which dance on the razor's edge between enjoyable and downright loopy. "Cyborgs headed for war section?" Guffaw? There's also an issue of clarity in the lyrics (which probably falls into a technical issue). Sometimes you can't make out what's being said, and with the aid of the lyric sheet, you don't understand why it's being said. Still, I can't really conceive of a reason why I would give this a no (or any other judge, for that matter. But suprises abound here). It's fun, it's driving, it's got robots in it. I haven't a doubt in the world alot of megaman and Gameover fans will be xstatic [sic] over this one. YES Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere we are! ::BOOM:: Born to be kings... WE"RE THE PRINCES OF THE UuuuuuuuNIverse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 uh oh...top man...(any one remember that old mix.."there's a man...he goes by the name of megaman, he's got a cannon on his hand..etc) well..i cant hear the lyrics, so it doesnt matter that they suck. it suffers a bit from medlyitis, but the recording is good, the mix rocks, all three songs are done well. i think the transitions need work, but the mix is definately solid and enjoyable.

DarkeSword Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Dear God these lyrics are brilliant. Appropriately campy; it's MEGAMAN! Yeah, quite nice all around. Guitar work is good, voice isn't bad at all. Vocal harmony is right on. Very nice. Medleyitis does describe it, but that's quite minor. YES INDEED!

Liontamer Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 So much effort...yeesh! That was a hot transition at 2:41 into the robot battle theme, by the way. That was my favorite part of the track. The ending where they yelled "Cataclysmic Clash" and went into the death sound effect could have been pure cheese, but it came across very nicely. Props to Game Over with another winner here. I personally liked this one a lot more than "Little Mac's Confession" as well. Great stuff. YES IT UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Dear God these lyrics are brilliant. It's official. I hate all Middle-eastern people now Well it's a lot better than "SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT!....MEGAMAN!" ad infinitum. Also, I'm South Asian, not Middle Eastern. Bitch.
