doesn't necessarily have to be.. those were just the first 3 that came to mind because Dibiase and Jonwayne are SP-forums OGs, from what I understand, and Koji Kondo was Nintendo's most important original composer. Figured might as well use someone other than Mario, and went with Jon mainly because he has a similar body type.

It only took an hour to put together. I certainly won't mind if yall don't use it

was just about to do that.
looking back with a sober mind it does seem kinda awkward and confusing having Jon's face on there. In my drunken delusion I thought maybe if I sent him the cover art and he liked it he might contribute a track for the tape. i'll be back in a minute with mario on the cover.. just gotta scarf down this breakfast first

yeah, i think it was a bit delusional, but then again i have seen him participate in a stbb battle.. plus Dibiase not only came through for a recent sp battle but also let me use his track for the winner's circle mix and shared the video for it on facebook, so ya never know.
anyways, here's the cover with mario. If anyone else wants to try creating cover art for it please feel free. We could have a vote for which to use.

word well that would be dope if they see this bizness going down! would be very cool seeing them on it. i imagine the greenlama is lurking on these forums somewhere

is the sp in the image in its own layer in photoshop? could reduce the contrast a tiny bit to bring the outline of it out a bit more. small nitpicky thing though, doesnt really matter. other than that im more than sold on this cover if everyone else likes it

cool, glad you dig it! Sorry i didn't spend more time on it.. ridiculously busy these days.
I made it with gimp and windows paint crudely so its all one layer now. Anyone can feel free to edit it if they think they can enhance it.

the skew on the font at the bottom-right was off. looks a little better now. Still pretty gnarly tho but I predict some of these beats will be just as raw
