Chernabogue Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Only one remaining? That's great! Let's go! Quote
Esperado Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 And to clear up any worries about not "being good enough" or anything like that, don't worry about that. This isn't about winning and it's not about making the perfect song. At its core this competition is about learning, and practicing. It's unusual to finish a whole mix in a week, and all the polish involved, but this competition can help you start learning your own mental shorthand that could help you out a lot in the long run. how long is "usual" time for a remix? i usually get like 3/4 through initially arranging a mix and then half assing the mixing and tacking on a placeholder ending by the time a round is up. also, just saying, i miss the one (or was it two) hour compo, while never having taken part, i feel like it has its value in that youre forced to make all decisions on the fly and just make a quick song sketch. none of that magnum opus mindtrickery that we do with bigger projects.

Brandon Strader Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 I'm not the person to ask about the usual time, I've done a final mix anywhere between 5 hours and over a month. Quote

Ivan Hakštok Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Picks:1. FF12: Penelo 2. FF6: Setzer 3. FF5: Lenna Oh man don't go stealing my lovely Penelo! Quote
timaeus222 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Oh man don't go stealing my lovely Penelo! Aw, but it's so happy and awesome-like. Quote
Ivan Hakštok Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Aw, but it's so happy and awesome-like. Eh I'd let you have it because Basch's theme is also cool but I'll let the coin toss decide this one Quote
jnWake Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Oh is this full now? I was just going to enter Quote
Brandon Strader Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Eh I'd let you have it because Basch's theme is also cool but I'll let the coin toss decide this one OOOOH SNAP, Ladies and Gentleman! Our last challenger is in, which means we can start on Sunday at midnight EDT -- HOWEVER!!! A coin flip is needed, so I will be using a standard issue American quarter. I will allow one of you to choose heads or tails. If you win the coin flip, you get to keep your #1, but if you lose, you'll need to go to your second choice, and that hopefully won't lead to any other conflicts. x_x So... HEADS OR TAILS? First person to answer gets it! EDIT: Just to make it super fair, we'll do best 2 out of 3 coin tosses. Edited November 5, 2013 by Brandon Strader Quote
Brandon Strader Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Oh is this full now? I was just going to enter We can hold you on retainer in case someone needs to drop out. I think that would be ok. Sorry you didn't get in, too slow! ;p EDT is over. We're in EST now. I got so used to saying EDT though. Just waiting for one of the conflicting participants to claim heads or tails... the result will still be completely random anyway, but this should be a fun way to resolve it. Quote

If so, I call heads! (it better not be a double-sided coin ) Just waiting for one of the conflicting participants to claim heads or tails... the result will still be completely random anyway, but this should be a fun way to resolve it.

Ivan Hakštok Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I pick heads because Tails is a lame character. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 After flipping the coin several times and coming right down to the wire with heads, tails, tails, heads.... the final flip was... tails. So Timaeus gets Penelo... and Hakstock moves down to Basch. And we've got our solidified roster! Quote

MindWanderer Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Looks like I have maybe a 50/50 chance at having a chance of surviving the first round, so that's good. Listening to the sources... this seems like it's going to be a lot harder than the Mega Man/Sonic/Street Fighter/etc. compos. Those all involved action-y sources within a fairly narrow range of intent. These range from ambient to epic to goofy. At least each opponent is in the same boat in this regard. Quote
Argle Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Not like I really wanted to participate. Screw them. Screw them all. We're too good for them anyway. Quote

SuperiorX Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I didn't have time to participate in this, but it was a really cool idea and looks like it will be a lot of fun! I'm definitely looking forward to checking out the mixes and voting! Good luck all! Quote
Mega Sackman Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Some really amaazing picks in here! Looking forward to hear Freya, Beatrix, Auron, and so many others. Good luck guys! Quote
Troyificus Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Yay I gots Vivi! Time for an avatar change! Quote
