SMWCentral Official Annual Music Tourney #4 (2024) - WINNER - Old Contests & Events

Definitely the best set in a while

1. Gustavo Cerati - Especie: The first song in a good like 20 sets to give me potential tourney winner vibes
2. flashygoodness - Fight or Flight: Very solid, kinda sounds like something that would be in the later Mega Man X games
---------------
3. Steely Dan - Do it Again: Vibing Music but the vocals are not really for me tbh
4. Michi Mochievee - Aishite Aishite Aishite: Of the two covers of this in the tourney, I like this one more instrumentally but it also doesn't have Ado screaming over it so. Idk man
5. Hideki Abe feat. Mie Sonozaki - Nebula Step (Vocal Arrange): I guess now I know where Klug got his name from
6. Bossk - Events Occur in Real Time: Would definitely have voted for this if it was just the instrumental rip

Check out my WIP romhack!

Bossk - Events Occur in Real Time
Gustavo Cerati - Especie

It's Set ESS, bros.

Anywai~, my choices are:

Hideki Abe feat. Mie Sonozaki - Nebula Step (Vocal Arrange)
♪♫My future is like the jet-black depths of space
Because I can’t see what lies ahead yet
But I will bend it to my will, by my own strength
Ah! Grant me power!♫♪

(Credits to Nenilein for the English-translated lyrics, unyu~)
Michi Mochievee - Aishite Aishite Aishite
Speaking of which: I found the original version of the song! I'm good at doing research, right?

Honorable mentions:

Bossk - Events Occur in Real Time
A lot to unpack here.
Gustavo Cerati - Especie
Steely Dan - Do it Again
...and again and again and again and again and again...

Fun fact: The Japanese voice of Klug is no other than... Arle Nadja's current VA, Mie Sonozaki herself! (Wonder why his voice looks so boyish, especially for a 14-year old?!) However, his English voice is quite different when the games (especially PuyoPuyo Fever) were released outside of Japan... (and therefore, he is Voiced Differently in the Dub)

Mega Man X3 OSTs

1. Timid Tiger - Gadget Girls
2. Scop - Irony

Kinda in hibernation for a while. I hope to be back in full swing soon.

Supergrass - Prophet 15
Timid Tiger - Gadget Girls

Timid Tiger - Gadget Girls | Catchy!
Scop - Irony | Started a bit slow but then the chorus buildup was nice, and got me nostalgic since it's very of-the-era Vocaloid.

Almério - Retiro das Flores | Very quaint, I like it. I like the vocals.
Supergrass - Prophet 15 | Trippy, I like it, but I keep flipflopping on where to place it.
S3RL feat. Kayliana - Alien | The chorus is cool but the rest feels like filler.
Joseph Shirley - Hustle Dimension | It really does have that generic mass-appeal movie music feel, so unfortunately it's not really for me.

Difficult picking the top 3.

Supergrass - Prophet 15
Scop - Irony

Almério - Retiro das Flores
Supergrass - Prophet 15

easiest its ever been to pick exactly 2 songs

Timid Tiger - Gadget Girls
Scop - Irony

1. Supergrass - Prophet 15: I really like this one, very close to the music I listen to on my own time
2. Timid Tiger - Gadget Girls: This sounds like it would be the theme song for a Nick GAS show or something
---------------
3. Joseph Shirley - Hustle Dimension: The Hustle is a classic and this is actually a very solid remix of it aside from the "every day I'm hustlin'" part. Was close to voting for it despite it being from Trolls lol.
4. Scop - Irony: Really like the instrumental but the vocals are No Thanks
5. Almério - Retiro das Flores: Like the vibe of this a lot but it didn't really keep my interest.
6. S3RL feat. Kayliana - Alien: Thank you S3RL. This song is truly extraordinary. Only a matter of time before someone submits MTC to a tourney and gets thrown out the airlock immediately

Check out my WIP romhack!

Here it comes! SET TEE!!!

Anywai~, my choices are:

“YAAAARGH!!! I can’t decide! I just can’t decide!!”
