    Hi guys. I borrowed this from an old forum and have had the permission of the creator to use it freely anywhere because I don't like stealing things.

    Video game music comes in many varieties. It could be from a boss theme, over world theme, credits, opening, character theme, etc. Each series has a different take of how they sound to fit the game and or make it better. All of us here enjoy music from video games, I'm sure, but we're here to see which one would be the last song standing after duking it out with 99 other formidable pieces of video game music.

    This is how things will go down. I am going to use a RNG and place all 100 songs in 20 rounds that consist of 5 songs. You guys are going to rate the songs on a scale of 0-10. You can rate the songs with the same ratings if you want. Hell, if you dislike everything, you can give everything a low score. I just figure the 0-10 system works more than the other thing. At the end of the round, I'm going to divide the total score of each song by the amount of people that participated in the round. The 20 songs with the best ratings will proceed to the next round, which will then be narrowed down to 5, before a winner is declared in the final round.


    Now, here's something that I'll need YOUR guys' help with. I want all of you guys to PM me your favorite video game music to fill up this list. It wouldn't be fun if this was just a list of video game music I and other select people like. I would prefer you guys send me 5-10 songs from video games in order of most favorite to the least. That way, if I get some repeats, I'll be able to work with it because I have more songs to choose from you guys. And please, when you send me a PM, no more than two songs from the same game/series. I want some variety in this showdown, so try to pick 1 song for each franchise and not like 5 from the same one.

    If or when I get enough PM's to fill 100 songs, I will show a spoiler that lists all 100 songs that were chosen and the rounds they're in. I will then begin round 1 for all of you to rate and stuff.

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR MAYBE FUTURE COOPERATION


    tl;dr version:
    -you guys are gonna PM me the songs (i would prefer if you provided a link but you do not have to)
    -1 at the least and 10 at the most so choose wisely
    -only 2 per series/franchise/whatever bc variety
    -once i got 100 songs we begin
    -the 100 songs are gonna be split into 20 rounds of 5 to be rated
    -rate 0-10 (u gotta rate all 5 songs in the round obs)
    -highest rated (divide total score of a song by number of participants in that round to get average; rinse repeat till all 5 songs are averaged out) wins
    -rinse repeat for 20 rounds
    -more will be said if we make it past that point

    spread this around so as many peeps on this forum as possible can enjoy this showdown of songs and what not
    if there is a lack of participation then it can just be a handful of us idc man i've done this a lot and am always fascinated by how different the scores vary forum to forum

    > Highlight OC Remix, I have over 666 songs I could play for 2 whole days (okay, 47 hours and 40 minutes) without repeating.
    > Plus other divisions of OC Records and non-OC soundtracks, Probably have 800-900 VG songs to choose from.
    > Where do I begin?

    Gotta say, I'm not digging the 2-per-franchise rule, but I understand the reasoning. Otherwise I'd have 8 Mega Man X, 1 Yoshi's Island, and 1 Super Mario.

    Question: Do you prefer to be linked to the original, or our recommendation of the best remaster (official or unofficial) of an individual song?

    as long as it was released in the official soundtrack, game or officially by the people involved in the game then it is alright


    i will not allow remixes that are fan-made for they would not truly count for anything here (i feel the pain as some fan remixes are really cool)

    these are your suggestions so i will take them as long as they fit the rules

    if you a remaster better then send that in (it has to be official though or what's the point really)
