Brandon Strader Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Man I expected something like that from neblix, but you? Darkesword can give ol' nebby a slap on the noggin' for it but I fear that you shall go unpunished for saying these fowl, odorous lies Quote
ectogemia Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Ummmm, I had an awesome time remixing this theme. No, the source is not that great. It's insanely simple, and in a bad way. But you have to find a way to make it badass. That's the point of ReMixing or whatever, right? Quote

orlouge82 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 None of you Wily source haters have the memory of playing the game after getting it for Christmas after it first came out, and having this song play while feeling that sense of accomplishment after finally figuring out how to beat Elec Man (if you didn't know to use Cut Man's weapon, he was impossible to beat). Yeah, it's simple, but so...many...memories. Quote

I hate everything about Elec Man, including his level, his theme, his boss fight. Including myself. Quote
Zerothemaster Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 The Wily theme, for sure. It may not be bad, but it's easily the worst Megaman song that comes to mind. I would disagree and say that the Fire Man theme or Clown Man theme are far worse. This song isn't amazing, but I like it. And I am so making a remix of that. And it will be accepted by OCR. So there. Quote
shadow24 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I reluctantly go this week (don't wanna push this crap on Jewbei), though don't expect a serious try hard entry. This song is just terrible. I bet its certainly better than my attempts at song making right now At least your trying and for that I'm thankful. Good luck getting your creativity flowing Quote
Gario Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 ... I don't see why people have a problem with this song. I always thought it was a pretty neat song, myself. I'm going this week, btw. Quote
Magellanic Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 It looks as though I'll be going for the team this week..... Quote
DarkeSword Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Don't understand all the complaining about this week's Wily Theme. As arrangers you should all be pretty chuffed; this theme has an incredibly simple melody and chord progression which lends itself really well to basically anything you want to do. It's like telling people in a cooking competition this week's secret ingredient is potatoes. By itself a potato is pretty boring, but when you start combining it with other foods it's amazing. In other words, whine less, mix more. Quote

Was thinking the same myself - I would have been cheering if I were able to do this weeks mix. Would have fit my cheesy tendencies to a tee Quote

Rexy Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I'm pretty sure my mix will have more cheese than yours. Or even if it doesn't have as much cheese, the cheese itself would have more of a kick; kind of like a smoked aplewood flair. :3 Alas, I got the arrangement set in stone. I need to really flesh it out over the next few days and really make the cheese stand strong Quote
TGH Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Looks like this might be the cheesiest round yet!!!!!!!!! Quote
Lemonectric Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Cheese potato soup is pretty good, so I'll be looking forward to this round's entries. Quote
AkumajoBelmont Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 This... this is a really effective anaology Then you'll love my mix plenty of cheese for you. Cannot wait Actually, in general, can't WAIT for this rounds mixes Quote
SuperiorX Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I don't think my song will have a lot of cheese, but I am making a song that is very different from my usual jazz/funk style, so it should be interesting! Quote
Brandon Strader Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 It should be a requirement for everyone who goes next to make their song sound Christmassy, for obvious reasons Quote

Rexy Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Whew, finally got a first render done of the track. Sometimes the production thing doesn't quite go as planned, with some layers having to be cut or exported separately just to save memory, but I'd say that so far the results are turning out very sexy for me. :3 (inb4 it doesn't pick up the votes for reasons beyond me @_@) Quote

MindWanderer Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 None of you Wily source haters have the memory of playing the game after getting it for Christmas after it first came out, and having this song play while feeling that sense of accomplishment after finally figuring out how to beat Elec Man (if you didn't know to use Cut Man's weapon, he was impossible to beat).No, but I do have the memory of having to get past all those bazillion-hit-point pogo stick things, then having to make those perfect, niggly jumps while keeping the fire pillars frozen in just the right places, then running out of platform beam and having to climb up and down ladders to farm refills.But my thought was the same as DarkeSword's: The theme is simple and short, which means all you skilled remixers should be able to go to town with it, and use your robot masters to their best effect. It wouldn't be my top choice for remixing by itself, but added to another source could be great, probably better than the lengthy Wily themes from MM 7 and 8, which had a constraining effect IMO. I'm excited. In other news, some comments about my top 4 choices this week, partially in an effort to narrow it down to 3. Actually, I started with 6, but as I wrote, the top 4 became obvious; even though I enjoyed the others greatly, the technical quality wasn't as high, IMHO. Black Alleycat and Float: Very similar, smooth pieces. One more jazzy and the other more orchestral, but I have about the same feelings regarding both of them: excellent instrumentation and production, very professional. Excellent, seamless integration of the two sources. Black Alleycat is a bit repetitious, and Float has a bit too much "whitespace" for my taste, but both are par for their respective genres. Also I have a bias for exciting music, but I'm trying to not let that influence my vote. A Swarm of Voxels: Now this is exciting! It's adventurous in ways that sometimes work great, other times less so, but overall a lot of fun to listen to. The integration isn't quite as smooth as the above, feeling a bit more like alternating sources at times, but with two lengthy, complex sources, that's hard to avoid. A bit more length would have helped, IMHO, with some more time to play around with individual elements. WHICH ONE DO I SHOOT?!: Also exciting and fun, great treatment of Gemini Man, even though it uses some of the same "variants" used in earlier entries. Also, while the integration is more of the "alternating" variety, it's my favorite treatment of the Wily theme this week; most entries did it more "straight," but this is more arranged, and arranged well. If this loses my vote, it will be because of the glitchy stuff in the middle, especially the "chopped" aahs, of which I'm not a big fan. Quote
