XelaKebert Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Results First Place: Barrage 121.75 points Overall we felt that this entry best depicted the area and lent itself to being played on an endless loop. His use of tones that emulated the original sound of the games was a nice touch on an excellent entry. [spoiler] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgWWuMURVoE [/spoiler] Second Place: OrangeManiac 120 points Another extremely well done entry. His entry captured the aquatic nature of Cerulean city very well. OrangeManiac did a great job keeping the volume in a softer range to better simulate the relaxing nature of water. [spoiler] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9Gzs8CJPnA [/spoiler] Third Place: Trainer Parker 112.5 points TrainerParker took a very unique take on Lavender Town in that it captured some of the eeriness of the area, but at the same time did not quite convey the overall theme of a graveyard. This entry was well composed and very compelling to listen to, but it was just lacking in the creepy, foreboding factor of Lavender Town.

ShiroyoOchigano Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just checked out all previous music battle event submissions and all though this guy did not win I found him to be the best. Here is his link if you want to check it out. His forum name is NoremacX8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijpEEF-X6RQ Link to comment
Emlee Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm happy to see you've included the judging criteria with this event and that you're hosting this sort of thing but I liked how last time you didn't DQ if songs went on too long, but just judged the first X amount of time in the song. I can understand why you want them short but it was neat to give a lot of creative freedom with length. Either way I'm excited to hear entries and think it's a good event to bring back. :) Link to comment

Robofiend Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 also one question on the criterion: Lend itself to looping --> good, right? Link to comment
XelaKebert Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 also one question on the criterion: Lend itself to looping --> good, right? In other words, can it be restarted from the beginning without sounding like it was? Robofiend 1 Link to comment

TrainerParker Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Are Islands 1-7, 1 town? Or does each island get its own song? Link to comment
fite Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 i would really like to submit my entry now rather than on the 10th :| i see no reason why a submission cant sit, because unlike most of the children/teens on this website, it doesnt take long for someone with producing expirence to create what sounds they envision in their head Kazooka 1 Link to comment
XelaKebert Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Are Islands 1-7, 1 town? Or does each island get its own song? They are separate towns, they are just listed together. TrainerParker 1 Link to comment
JWingWangWong Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Actually the reason why I won't participate is because I have no room to produce music so my keyboard is in peril in my closet. Not to mention I got university. In the mean time I'll be making stuff like this:https://soundcloud.com/jwingwangwong/get-no-test-barely-updated Link to comment
Strych Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 If original piece is made, will it be used by the developers for any purposes? No, the submissions won't be used for any purpose. dak0r 1 Link to comment
