Yeah. That was an oversight caused by people not naming their files properly. Fixing and reuploading.

Note for future rounds: It is your character vs. opponent's character. NOT... opponent vs. you.

Some people just sent WAVs with the title. If I weren't such an overachiever, I'd probably be super strict like DarkeSword and disqualify said people... HOWEVER, I fixed stuff this time. Folks, please follow the naming guidelines in first post.

Are you giving us the option to vote against MindWanderer? You should probably fix that.

Votes in that match-up won't count towards needing to vote in every match-up, but I'm leaving it open. Vote for MindWanderer, cause he deserves it.

[GrapplingHook]

Well, it would've been fun if I'd had the time to work on it properly (or remember to rename the file - oops).

I'll vote, but elsewise make myself scarce in this thread and hope the shameful scent of incompletion washes out.

[Brandon Strader]

Nah, stick around, it's all good. We're all having fun here~!

Another reminder about voting, just put the artist's name in bold. Nothing else.

Heyyy, you deleted my comments I was just trying to give feedback q.q

...or were we supposed to post that somewhere else?

Part of the wall of text people are apparently having trouble parsing:

Do not post reviews in the voting thread. Compile your reviews for a round into a single post in this thread.

FML. Well...I've already forgotten most of what I said and I don't feel like going through that gauntlet of music again lol. Haste leads to waste as they say

[Chernabogue]

VS. DusK? Uh, going to be tough.

Also, some match-ups are so fun, especially the Chimpazilla/Timaeus. It's almost like Cain vs. Abel LOL

[Yami]

Ok, whatever my entry will sound like, I already have a title (I'm more creative with those than with my music)

Blackjack and Jesters

There's also a thread in the social group called "How To Vote"

Awesome sigs!

The qualitative content of my mix is questionable so I'd say it's a foregone conclusion that Hakstock is through to the next round. I remain philosophical about the whole thing.

Thanks!

Hey, it happens. While Hakstock's has the better production, people will hopefully listen a little closer and see who worked in their sources most fluidly and enjoyably. Sure, it may go to Hakstock, but as long as you gave it your all and are practicing and getting better, it's all good.

[Eino Keskitalo]

Hyped. Serah's theme isn't too bad to combine with Lulu's, the mood sort of overlaps and especially tempo/rhythm is similar. Serah's mood seems more straightforward, but not without bittersweetness.. they can make a nice juxtaposition, and with the rhythm you can really go anywhere. I tinkled both a bit over the top of the youtube videos on the piano, though I didn't get as far as transposing them to same key. Mighty tempted to make a vocal piece but it's hard to find the time to record. (On the plus side, you could work on the lyrics anywhere )

  Final Kingdom said:

Can't wait for the Darkness bracket to finally get underway Evktalo, let's give it everything we've got! Lulu's Theme is one of my favorite themes, so I'm definitely looking forward to hearing your mix.

All right, let's! (:

Sadly my 'all' was given to my place of work who offered me extrat work for extra money. Instead of valiantly standing up and saying 'NO*insert name of workplace here* I will NOT be taking your offer of more work for I have a REMIX to complete for the good fellows at OCRemix.com' I instead turned around and said 'Yes please sir can I have some more and please try not to get any in my eye this time.' GOD DAMMIT I'M NOT MADE OF STONE.

In other news; holy shit Hakstock your remix is AMAZING. I'm actually a little happier in the fact that even working flat out for a week I never would have come up with anything as good as that.

[StarDragonJP]

I just downloaded the zip but one of the songs is showing up as a plain file and not an mp3, so it can't be listened to. It's the one by Garpocalypse by the way.

(Edit) Nevermind I got the song to play.

What even is Gogo's Theme? I have to put this... circus music and Auron's Theme together? This is gonna be tricky.

[Chimpazilla]

Hey Timaeus, *snicker, chuckle* let's secretly COLLAB both our tracks and make the voting IMPOSSIBLE!!! Bwahahahahahahaha!

[Cash]

@HobaKa, you swapped your votes for Beatrix vs. Kain and Lenna vs. Locke. Tuberz belongs in Lenna vs. Locke, avaris belongs in Beatrix vs. Kain.

@Brandon, any reason why you made a voting thread for Hiryuu vs. Strago? Or did you make all the threads before the entries came in?

[timaeus222]

But but but... Edward's theme is soooooo weird

[Chimpazilla]

It is actually quite simple and lovely. I actually really like your source too, it is also lovely, and has five distinct sections to choose from! Hhhmmm... how to weave one or several of them in... choices, choices...

[Eino Keskitalo]

I think I figured how I'll fit the A parts of Serrah's and Lulu's themes together. Still the rest of it to figure out, and I still don't know what style or instrumentation I'll try. But, some progress! Lots of fun already.

--Eino

[Brandon Strader]

It sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun. I might start writing on Wednesday, but we'll see. If I get particularly tired, I might start as late as Friday.

I did make them all right before midnight, and I had the opportunity to delete that one, but thought it would be nice to leave it up and let people vote for MindWanderer. Everyone likes being voted for, and who knows how next round will go. He put in the work so it's no problem that he gets the votes.
