Easily. And better than Emotions too, since that one got KO'd on round 1.

I was going to say I thought it got knocked out to something potent, but looking back, I guess not.

Things I thought had potential but didn't put up originally: Bonds of Sea and Fire, Fuse, The Treasure Which Cannot Be Stolen, Knight of Fire, The One Who is Torn Apart.

Things I wish had potential but doubt it on Board 8: Star of Tears, The Valley Where Wind is Born, Grahf Emperor of Darkness, Aveh Ancient Dance, One Who Bares Fangs at God.

Any thoughts on those, and am I missing anything that seems obviously good for this contest?

Id's theme has potential, Knight of Fire might or might not work. Pillar of Salt might be interesting too, but that'd ibe iffier. And you know how keen I am on seeing the opening theme be Bonds of Sea and Fire.


Question for everybody who knows Homestuck: Any themes that I might have missed? Any suggestions you wish to make? I really feel like the lineup has room for improvement, but I don't know where to start. Help is appreciated!

I'll consider swapping two out for Bonds of Sea and Fire and The One Who is Torn Apart, in that event. Think I'll pick two out of these three: Flight, Omen, Emotions. Any other takes on this? I'd like some more opinions to get a feeling of how Board 8 thinks.

From: Ed Bellis | #222
[quoted text]

It's only been in Year 2, when it lost to the friggin' Steel Samurai Theme in Round 1. That's hardly a good performance! Then again, looking at the soundtrack I don't really know what other 'powerhouses' it has. Maybe Lockjaw's Saga (which was in Year 1) or Donkey Kong Rescued.


[quoted text]

This is really not in the spirit of the rules. Maybe I'll nom I Wanna Be the Guy and put The Moon and Monty on the Run as its entrants!


I'd back it tbqh.

so are you going to go for the double-elimination thing?

Sure, unless someone presents a compelling reason why I shouldn't. If we do double elimination:
1) I will finish the winners bracket first.
2) Unless otherwise specified, the alt will be the first song played in the loser's bracket.
3) Tiebreakers will be settled by repeating that round's song, since I don't want to dip back and ask for an 8th song.


Would you count Sonic 3 & Knuckles as one game or would you prfer Sonc 3 and Sonic & Knuckles separatley

My memory's kinda hazy on Sonic 3. Musically, is there a difference? I thought Sonic and Knuckles was just that plug-in cartridge you could put on your Sonic games to have Knuckles there.


Also, shouldn't Cladun be at 3? I remember angelo and todbot supporting it on the first page

I've got them. I'm not counting the nominator. So in other words, it's at 2 because you don't count.

A question for you, nio - are the acoustic and orchestral versions of An Approaching Nightmare really different enough to qualify as two separate songs? They don't sound different to me beyond the obvious.


Speaking of not different enough, I'm not accepting the current nomination of SSBB. Songs must be not the original version. Originals, and remixes that are a noticeable deviation from the original are ok, but faithful arrangements and direct rips are not.

I wouldn't describe most of touhou as 'weird", it's very flamboyant but ZUN's song structures tend to be very typical. 4/4, basic keys, standard verse - chorus style arrangement, heavy focus on melody. part of the reason there are such a ridiculous number of touhou remixes out there, it's easier to arrange something like that compared to something more abstract. it just tends to catch people off guard because a lot of it is fast, features unusual instrumentation, and has a lot of flourishes but at it's core most touhou music has more in common with uematsu or mitsuda than anyone actually weird(akira yamaoka being the first game composer to come to mind...)

I think by weird crap he meant more that it was weird that they actually got into the contest, not that the style is weird in any way.

this I can definitely see, I actually disliked touhou music for the longest time because my only exposure to it previously was the crap people nominated here -_-

Sonic & Knuckles works on it's own standalone as a completely different game, but it works as a plug-in to combine to make Sonic 3 & Knuckles...which is REALLY the full game, not Sonic 3. It is twice as big, with twice as much music.

Well, it came as part of the same product, so I don't see why I would break it up.

And, if it should matter, I'm going to count expansions as part of the base game. The only game I see this as likely to affect, should anyone nominate one, is an MMORPG like WoW, but I'm calling this out ahead of time.

For my own personal nominations, I'm going to let you guys nominate the serious contenders, and stick to some fringe favorites of mine. I'm betting this won't get support votes from anyone, but that doesn't stop me from liking it. It's an old PC shareware title, if you're not familiar. Released in like '95, and rereleased by another company in '00 under the name Tyrian 2000.


Nomination: Tyrian
1. Space Journey 2 -
2. Tyrian, the Song -
3. Gryphons of the West -
4. Come Back To Me Savara -
5. Rock Garden -
6. Ending Theme 2 -
Alt. Camanis -


Other considerations: Asteroid Dance 2, Final Edge, Return Me to Savara, Tyrian the Level, Tunnelling Trolls.

Oh my god support Tyrian. Awesome game and it's free over at GOG. Go play it all of you.

I personally really like Beer and Gyges from the soundtrack, but they're both a bit short so your picks are probably better.

Also support Metroid Prime.

We need a Castlevania in here. Somebody get on that. SOTN, Rondo of Blood, IV, Dawn of Sorrow, all of them are good.
