Seriously.

Errors:
3:06 Meant to say 'nests' -- ignore me starting to say 'moves'
3:42 About the only WAY* it could be hard to use...
6:11 I accidentally said "Every 2.0 video I can find" when I meant to say "YOU can find". I deleted what was there because I didn't feel like editing, so now it's just "every 2.0 video t-" Oops.

Not my best oration, by far. I blame the crap I've been hacking up recently, and the fact that the mic I was using butchered my voice. I sound much better IRL.

If you comment on this video to argue with my points, provide evidence like I did; anecdotal evidence (well, for ME it was slower) or personal belief (IT LOOKS STUPID!!!) are not proper evidence.

srsly

I might make a rant series... entitled srsly.

This was being uploaded as a private video, so that only the other MPH members can see it. This was done by Tfinn, in no way do I claim it for my own, etc, etc. I just wanted to show it to them. Of course, they don't all have me as a friend, so I made it public. But this is going to Tfinn as soon as we work out the error in communication. Stupid gmail.

DO NOT VOTE FOR MY VIDEO (STRIKE JAGUAR)! I AM """NOT""" IN THE CONTEST!!!

Watch the video. Don't got the time? Here's a quick recap:

Select what you feel are the TOP THREE compositions, and list them in order of best to worst. The video you place in 'first' gets 3 points, the second video gets 2, the third 1. The video with the most points at the end of the voting round, which ends next Saturday, wins.

A short piece whipped together in spite of my malfunctioning mouse. A VERY short piece. My goal, though, was to create something memorable and catchy. Whatever. Enjoy it, if you will. Or hate it, whatever.

"Mario Paintasy" is a fictional RPG or something made up by people in/on/who are members of the Mario Paint Hangout.

Uses the MMX SF created by myself, with a slap bass sound blatantly stolen from the AMAZING and GODLY Balloon303's Hard Rock Soundfont (which isn't as good as the MMX SF which is the best thing evar. Said SF was:

Made in 3 hours.

Original Soundfont.

Tempo under 400.

Now what.)

Kinda testing the waters here. Uses the symphony SF mashed with Adolfo's Electronica percussion... but on that note, I want to ask the YouTube community at large:

Is the percussion good? It's freestyled (since even I can't figure out what's going on in the OST), and whether or not it passes public inspection is what dictates whether I continue on this path.

I've already decided that I'll remove the tom from the bass drum grace note after the first snare hit of a measure during the first verse (+10 if that made any sense at all) -- it's too overpowering. Also want to play with the melodic instruments a bit, and maybe turn down percussive volume...

Again, this is a testbed, so please give me any and ALL feedback -- "I love it!" "I hate it!" "You should do this" "You should do that" -- ANY FEEDBACK AT ALL, WHETHER CONSTRUCTIVE OR NOT, IS VALUABLE TO ME!

Two entries per person. You can change your submissions, but only two per person.

Sorry, forgot to mention: ANY SOUNDFONT.

I'm lazy. REALLY lazy. So instead of doing 7 more MMX original pieces, I'm gonna call on the MPC community. Come up with at least 7 more songs so that we can get my imaginary Mega Man XP to at least have 8 imaginary mavericks.

****************************** ***********
Submit your entry as a video response, please.
****************************** ***********

Just to reiterate from the video:

-The TOP 7 placers get their song done/redone by me using the MMX soundfont. They can choose to give me the text files (for what good it would do, since the instruments'll probably be all different), or watch me do it by ear.

- The TOP 3 placers get the MMX soundfont in unedited format. (For those of you who already have it, I'll go to the next highest placer).

- The FIRST PRIZE is me editing the soundfont to ANY SNES MMX song within reason (I am NOT TOUCHING STING CHAMELEON. PERIOD.) Oh, and then GIVING YOU said soundfont. Or take one of the ones I made for another song that I've released, I don't care.

- You MUST HAVE YOUR SONG IN by MIDNIGHT OF JUNE 1st!. (That means the night of May 31st, yes).

- Voting is then in the typical fashion: New video, votes, choose your top 3, etc.


Any questions, leave a comment here. I'll get back to you ASAP (which is typically pretty fast.

Remember, the MMX bosses don't believe in adjectives. Hence, (noun) (animal) being the convention.

This is definitely a jungle sort of theme.

Strike Jaguar from the to-be-announced Mega Man XP (NO, NOT A REAL GAME. Made up because I wanted a reason to do a full 8 boss themes). More boss themes to come (if I can get motivated to do more after I do Knights of Cydonia).

See what I did there?

My interpretation of what this song might have sounded like, were it dragged into a Mega Man X game.

The bass thing in the bridge... I don't like it either, but I couldn't come up with anything else...

Yeaaaah...

Finally got around to another MMX song that uses the soundfont designed for... you know, Mega Man X songs? X_X

I can record for myself, now, obviously. No, it isn't High-Def video, but the audio's fine. As I always say, it's the MUSIC, not the VIDEO.

Sorry, I NEVER do 'previews' anymore. But this one deserved it.

I knew this soundfont would be good for something...

This song is going to be finished, if I have to spend all summer.

Muse is good. I think we can all agree on that.
