WRASTLEMANIA TOURNAMENT POLL : ELIMINATION ROUND 1

[Flying Thunder]

Oh yeah.

I'll make this look nicer on the main post.



But before I get to who you'll be facing.

There was also a tie in votes for people who would have a chance at a bye round. So when I generated the pairs using the 5 of you I kept going until Dutch and Culp were both paired off and one of the people with 3 Votes was left out : Sorry Kel.




Here are your pairings :

YUBA vs GREEN DUTCH competing for bye round

CULP vs MKOUR competing for bye round

SORA4AM vs SHARRIS

GHOSTBAZZ vs CHACHOSCHAVELA

TEEWOK vs ASHA C

LOU vs KEL

Not really sure what use your finishing move means, do you mean just use a sample from the finishing move? Thanks

That's what I think..... we have to somehow incorporate our wrestlers finishing move in the track..... weather it be the "sound" of the finishing move (body slammin on mat) or vocals.....

[kel]

I wish we had more limitations/ specific requirements or something... not sure what to sample, already used both my themes

[sora4am]

did I understand correctly - did i have to vote for favorite bits or choose those who fly out? i voted for favorite

I suggest for each pair for sampling to choose a music theme of some ppv, for example, the royal rumble, summerslam or the same wrestlmania

[Teewok]

or we could use a different wrestler's theme for each pair to sample and compete on... We've done this in this past for the street fighter, mortal kombat and smash bros battles...

what you guys think??.....

[Teewok]

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!!!

[ghost bazz]

Personally, I think it makes sense to adopt our wrestler's personality & make whatever music we feel is appropriate to rep them... AND REP HARD! I was just gonna do some bagpipe shit with wrestling sound effects. Sounds simple, but to me that seems pretty appropriate. We can each do a lot within those constraints I think, while still maintaining the integrity of the theme. All the youtube stuff I found sucked. I'd rather build on the theme with creative freedom to find other samples.

Edit: To clarify... the youtube stuff sucked as far as source music value... there was a plethora of good dialogue and fighting sounds.

[ghost bazz]

Sorry if this has already been addressed... what is our deadline for this round?

[YUBA]

deadline is 12/1 i need to get chopping

so its head to head battles now ? and i up against greendutch "da pitboss"? no worries i got a fresh dashiki for u GD

i realize more n more everybody has a dif impression of what a battle beat is.
i came here to talk crazy shit, chop crazy samples and maybe slap somebody's synth off the table

the sample pool idea works if people pick decent samples. it wasnt a perfect system but it worked wt smashbros battle\video game theme.
making a beat out of just wrestling sounds\themes seems more like a resample challenge

ready to flip a fatty

[Green Dutch]

How about we make a universal drum and bass kit then we keep it going until 1 is left standing. We could get 2 random songs or things to sample every round and we keep our wrestling personas. A Royal Rumble!

I like this idea

[Flying Thunder]

YO!

I've been keeping on eye on the thread dont worry.

Next round you guys are gonna get the limitations you're asking for and I won't hold back. I have a bunch of wrestling samples I can share and ideas for how they can be used as a limitation for the next three rounds



As for drums from round 2 and on - if someone/some people want to put this together you're more than welcome and much appreciated. But personally I'm shit at drums.



It's just the first round, embody the character, re use your theme if you need to, be creative my computers fucked right now so I cant really search at the moment and bring up specific examples for all of your characters. But I'm sure you guys can come up with something


Hulk Hogan theres a tv series from the 80s called Rock N Wrestling, stars also ANDRE THE GIANT, idk who else is on it.


PAPA SHANGO theres gotta be great tribal stuff you can find, shakers, bugs, idk lol. the sentilese just killed alabama guy who believed they were the devils last stronghold


For Mankind I was thinking about buying one of those spooky haloween records, UNDERTAKER could do the same.


YUBAS bringing a damnn DASHIKI FOR GREEN DUTCH




Capture the essence of your character, wether it be fire, a mental patient, a witch doctor, a model, and bring it out through the track. use whatever you can think of to best do that.



And if you wanna start preparing yourselves now.

the next two rounds EXT SYNTH = OFF


I'll go through the rest of characters after my flight so I can help anyone out who might be short of some ideas.


DM me if you need to as well.

[kel]

Is this due today? I don't think I can swing it, any chance to extend the deadline (only if others need to) ?

[Sharris]

Id love if we can extend the deadline as well
I havent even started on my track
I can have something done by tmrw night
