If it isn't, here's my list : MM2 - Crash Man MM2 - Flash Man MM2 - Metal Man (Yes I'm a huge MM2 fan and yes, it's the only true MegaMan game. Don't @ me.)

Excited to see old school homies getting back in the game! Garpocalypse, SuperiorX and orlouge82 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when you had it in the WCRG 13' bud! I'm thrilled with my matchup, I'm a big fan of Shade Man's theme too. I have a couple of busy weeks between work and travel, so I'm going to have limited time to dedicate to this, but I'm excited to see what I can come up with! FUN FACT: I remixed Shade Man once, 15 years ago, in ModPlug Tracker. It was terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak Eightman Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Fun fact?.. I'll tell my story. Joined OCR in 2010 and watched MM compos untill 2015. That year I descided to take a part and... my life changed extrimly. I became a dirrector and started to live at work.. Forgot about OCR and family. Now I'm quit and joined MM compo.. I'm scared.. EDIT: I never had cutman. The only tune I really love from MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life has been turbulent since I became a traveling therapist but i am about to have some free time opening up and would like to restart it again. But yea. Last round buddy. Hope you get there cuz... I'll be surprised if I make it to round 2. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Mmm, I'm lovin' the energy in here - glad I'm participating this year. TBH I haven't seen people getting excited for one of these like this in a while, so maybe we'll have some really full brackets to vote on next week. Can't wait to see which RM I'm gettin' next week, seeing that mine is contested with another user on here. Well, if I don't get Windman maybe I'll be matched against the person that does get it - would be pretty funny if that happened.

Ridiculously Garrett Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 This is gonna be one challenging, fun, productive compo. Good luck to everybody participating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyificus Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hey @DarkeSword, are we getting signatures this year? Garpocalypse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 I haven't had a chance to sit down and do some art design for the compo yet. Once that's locked down I'll see about putting some sigs together. Eino Keskitalo and Arceace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperiorX Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 How's everyone doing on their tracks this week? I have about 30 seconds of a song and it sounds like butt, but hey, progress! I have *maybe* part of 2 days to work on it until I'll have to turn it in, so here's hoping it comes together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercoolmike Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 came up with some decent ideas but they're for there individual tracks, trying to combine them and not sound forced. I'm pretty sure this is common for everyone tho, the grind continues. SuperiorX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Remember, for the new folks: you have to use both themes. Also a tip: match the key/mode the songs are written in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxLR Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 3 questions: - Do we need to make the source song recognisible in the remix? - Can we do an original theme from both songs? - Will that be good as long as we can prove we used both songs? That may help me really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Well if it helps contextualize this a bit, take a listen to some of the past competitions on here (like 2010 & 2011), and check out how they integrated the sources. Also, while not strictly called for, a good rule of thumb on handling the sources would be to pretend you're writing it for OCR - that is, make sure either of the sources are recognizeable for at least 50% of the track (either in the background or front & center). In 2011, for example, I did a funky arrangement where I pulled from plenty of alternative sources (including Schala, for shits and giggles) - but I made sure the sources I needed to include were there for at least 50% of the track. I'm certain if you want to do some more original writing you'd be alright as long as there's about half of your arrangement where people can recognize the sources somewhere. Aside from that, go nuts - whether the source is in the background over something more original or if the sources are more front and center, as long as they're there. Just realize that this is being voted on by regular people and not necessarily judges, for better or worse, so I suggest not being TOO subtle with your sources. If people feel like you're not really arranging the sources and instead going on your own rail that could impact the vote (even if you can prove that you're subtly using the sources). Of course, time stamping in here wouldn't hurt your chances if you feel it's pretty subtle, so hey. Hope that helps a bit!
