The 100 Song Showdown - Video Games Edition

[Peridorito]

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 with a link to each song. This way if others are unfamiliar with it they have a convenient link to it.

Now 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 95 songs ('cause I wanna choose 5 myself), 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.

tl;dr version:
-you guys are gonna PM me your song choices with links to each one
-1 at the least and 10 at the most so choose wisely
-only 2 per series/franchise/whatever bc variety
-once I get 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 song wins
-rinse repeat for 20 rounds
-more will be said if we make it past that point

[ReturnofMCH]

I will PM you mine now.

 

[Peridorito]

Yay! This is already going better than I thought it would. I posted this in another forums and barely anyone noticed it so the thread pretty much died. But now it only took 2 minutes to get a reply!

 

[Poke.]

Hmm... Seems interesting... I'll see if I can do a reply sometime soon... Expect Freedom Planet, Mega Man, Cave Story, and some Metroid music to come to you via PM

 

[Peridorito]

I have 17 songs so far, only 83 more to go!

 

[ReturnofMCH]

I'll send more in later tonight.

 

[Doctor Floptopus]

I'll send you some

 

[Peridorito]

Hey guys, remember to provide links to the songs when you PM me, because I'll need to link the songs later on for others to vote. I've gotten a few PMs without links already, so I tought I'd make it clear.

 

[Wispy Willow]

Ah, what the hey, I'll send you a few I guess.

 

[Peridorito]

Hmm... Seems interesting... I'll see if I can do a reply sometime soon... Expect Freedom Planet, Mega Man, Cave Story, and some Metroid music to come to you via PM

Have you chosen the songs yet?

I'll send you some

Hey guy/gal, you didn't provide links to your songs. I replied to your PM but it seems you didn't notice.

 

[ReturnofMCH]

I'm still deciding on my second wave.

 

[Peridorito]

Hey guys, I have 35 songs so far. We only need 65 more to start!

EDIT: Gonna summon some people that like videogame music a lot. @CakeFairyForever; @Norzan; @BlackOsprey; @ScarletSky; @Trainer Gabriel;

 

[ReturnofMCH]

I like videogame music a lot, but I can't decide on my second wave.

 

[Wispy Willow]

I probably should *ahem* mention that mention tags only work if you do this: @ Username ; (only without the spaces). So you didn't attract the attention of anyone in that post. I know it's a little late, but better late then never.

 

[Poke.]

Ah dun sent in mah moosic.

 

[Osprey]

*Jumps through summon portal* Alright, I sent a couple songs your way.

 

[ReturnofMCH]

I'll send more soon.

 

[Peridorito]

Hey guys, I'm back! I was inactive for a long time because my computer broke. It isn't fixed yet but I convinced my mother to let me use her computer sometimes. I received lots of private messages with songs while I was inactive, and I'm going to look through all the songs I received (both new and old) and I'll tell you soon how many more songs we need.

Oops. Other forums I'm a member of work just fine the way I did it, so I assumed it was the same here. Thanks for telling me.
@CakeFairyForever @Norzan @BlackOsprey @ScarletSky @Trainer Gabriel;

Should work now I think.

EDIT: I've been sent 41 songs, and I have 10 more I chose on my own, so we have 51 songs as of now. Only 49 songs to go!

 

[PaulTheProtist]

I shall send several songs.

 

[Username19]

Ill send some songs your way.
