Smash Bros. 3D/U OST Contest! Round 27 - Midgar (Grading)

[Forcerounds]

I feel like a crude (or better than crude) drawing of the stage's layout would be a great way to support an entry in a "create a stage contest", but it shouldn't be required. My concern is that any regular entrants that have good art software and/or are artistically talented enough to draw their entries as if it were their magnum opus would consistently win over the judges each round and deter untalented folks away from entering. Then again, this isn't like Smogon's Create a Pokemon project where the effort put into the artwork is worth it.

Still, if this happens the judges better not put an emphasis on who drew their stage the best. A picture from the game of origin, a written description, and an optional bare-bones drawing of the stage is enough as far as aesthetics goes.

This I agree with. All judges should have to agree to this to keep things fair. The contest should be about the best stage idea, not the prettiest picture.

Say, how long will the grading take, @ Swamp Sensei ?

MIDTERMS!

I'M SORRY!

 

[FalKoopa]

MIDTERMS!

I'M SORRY!

Ah, I see. Take your time then.

 

[PixelPasta]

Why don't we create a conversation and include everybody who is interested in the stage contest idea? We can continue this discussion there, and start turning these thoughts into actions.

 

[D-idara]

I added both forcerounds and Ascended to the stage thread conversation, invite anyone who's interested.

 

[Jumpman84]

MIDTERMS!

I'M SORRY!

No problemo, man. Take as much time as you need. I'll just be here, watching... always watching...

 

[D-idara]

Anyone got a hold of this Stickerbrushy masterpiece yet?

 

[God Robert's Cousin]

Oh man. I completely forgot about this place. I was waiting on Mario Galaxy for so long that I've missed out on 2 rounds now. Especially painful is that I really wanted to do the Garden of Hope round...

Well, I can at least get the satisfaction of making a quick list! It won't count, but if it's anything like the winner's list, I'll be happy.
[collapse="GRC's Garden of Hope Song List"]
Pikmin 3 - Garden of Hope
Pikmin 3 - Plasm Wraith
Pikmin 2 - Awakening Wood
Pikmin 2 - Boss Battle
Pikmin - Forest Navel
Nintendo Land - Pikmin Adventure - Impact Site
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Stage Clear / Title (Pikmin)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - World Map - Pikmin 2
[/collapse]
I hope I do well this round!

 

[D-idara]

For anyone who was interested in the idea, the Stage Creation Contest is now open :D

[Forcerounds]

Well, we now know that the Boxing Ring stage on the Wii U is in fact the Punch-Out! stage. Now we can safely consider it for a future round.

 

[Ascended]

Boxing Ring for next round due to being confirmed as a Punch-Out stage? =D

 

[TJ-Works]

Boxing Ring for next round due to being confirmed as a Punch-Out stage? =D

Probably, if the next 3DS Round is Animal Crossing. (Lord knows how many people are writhing for that round to start.)

Have to say, this Direct was a lot better than the last one (and the last one was pretty good.)
Still recovering my drool over Smash, Mario Kart 7, DKC: TF and Bayonetta 2.

 

[Frostwraith]

Boxing Ring for next round due to being confirmed as a Punch-Out stage? =D

Well, it is on both versions, so it may follow this round... or not.

We haven't decided the next stage yet.

 

[FalKoopa]

Will there be separate rounds for the Boxing Ring stage of each version?

 

[Superyoshiom]

Will there be separate rounds for the Boxing Ring stage of each version?

Well, considering they look virtually indentical, and I don't believe there has ever been a Punch Out game on the 3DS, we should combine their soundtracks.

 

[Deleted member]

Will there be separate rounds for the Boxing Ring stage of each version?

I don't think that should happen. They're extremely identical stages; doing two separate rounds on them is pointless.

 

[Superyoshiom]

Anyone got a hold of this Stickerbrushy masterpiece yet?

They also had another version of Stickerbrush Symohony at the end of the credits.

 

[Olekidsf]

Will there be separate rounds for the Boxing Ring stage of each version?

They only did one round for Battlefield. Besides, there's never been a Punch Out game on a handheld, so what would be the point?

 

[D-idara]

They also had another version of Stickerbrush Symohony at the end of the credits.

WHY MUST YOU SPOIL ME!?

 

[AEMehr]

Punch-Out! stage will be tough, since a majority of the songs in the franchise are essentially the same thing albeit remixed.

 

[Ascended]

True, but Nintendo has made other fighting and boxing games in the past...

 

[TJ-Works]

WHY MUST YOU SPOIL ME!?

Well, you kinda spoiled us/me first...

 

[Frostwraith]

Spoilers on the internet? No way!

Really, there's only one way to avoid spoilers when surfing the web: don't go to the internet in the first place.

As for the grades, please be patient.

 

[D-idara]

Well, you kinda spoiled us/me first...

Alright, sorry, I just remembered the first time I heard the second half of the Ducktales Remastered Credits ;u;

 

[Toxicroaker]

I already have the boxing ring music put together. I will say that it was the most fun one to put together yet. I just love to look at nintendo's past games. It makes me wish they had more games than they do. Maybe they could get a revival like Punch Out got? If so then I want a modern Joy Mech Fight.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Okay.... This upcoming weekend...

I should be able to do something then...

I hope....

I'm seeing a lot of new mods on here. Was there a mass moderator recruitment campaign that I missed out on or something?

Yes actually, when Venus comes back from his wedding (and honeymoon ) you can read about all of the mods in Weekly Review 5! :D

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I'm seeing a lot of new mods on here. Was there a mass moderator recruitment campaign that I missed out on or something?

With the Smash 4 release date approaching (sometime this year), the higher ups decided the Smash 4 boards needed to be fully staff to handle the large amount of new users once the release date is revealed as well as post-release. If it's anything like post-Brawl, we will need it.

Thanks for the shout out! I love stalking my name. I will be adding yours sometime this week and hopefully we can get Little Mac up.

Oh Swamp, I'm going to start covering a stage analysis once every few weeks. I'd like to cover also the winner of the stage that I'm analyzing. I'll send you a PM bout it sometime this week.

What do you think of this list? Please let me know...

Needs more DP Game Corner.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Jumpman, you had me sold with the Silph Co. theme. It's such a unique, foreboding theme that I wish would see more homage and remixes by Game Freak.

 

[Jumpman84]

The Game Corners don't really have anything to do with Saffron City in particular, though. Personally, I'd think that theme in particular would be more fitting on a returning Spear Pillar stage and I'll make sure to include it. However, the HGSS Game Corner could work here.

Really? The Game Corner theme from DP feels a little too cheerful for a serious stage like Spear Pillar...

 

[Violenceman]

Nice list! I am also like the Silph Co track.

If I may make a suggestion...Pokemon Snap Theme?

 

[Thirdkoopa]

I'm thinking if any of these will actually be close. They're pretty good so far, Swamp!
