I CAN'T IGNORE IT [Bo For A Burnham LR2 Bracket]

ALRIGHT, EVERYONE! Hope you’re all listening nice and good, because the World Champion’s finally arrived to conquer this competition! That’s right, Mr Hercule Satan himself is here, and I don’t plan on leaving without being crowned the champion of this here city!
And boy, if the amount of signatures I’ve already been asked for is any indication, I should be on track for a crushing victory!  Even if some of the competition here seems a little… stiff. (I mean, no-one mentioned fighting a damn dinosaur…)
Ha, I’m just joking, of course: big green baddies haven’t stopped me before, and they’re not gonna start now! Now, here’s a little taste of the champ’s unbeatable skills for y'all, and I look forward to hearing you screaming my name in the stands soon!

Down the Spiral Path

Alola! This is going to be new news for the soundcloud audience/people who don't follow Aether Paradise that closely. During June 2023, it was decided that Aether Paradise would go under a rework to make the whole tourney better, including cutting down its roster from 24 to 16 characters and making the narrative more ensemble centric, focusing on the themes Pokemon Sun & Moon was trying to tell, along with other futureproofing things. This bracket track by BlueThunder was going to be used as the First Round of Aether Paradise. Support Blue wherever you can!! He is a really good artist!!!

While we do apologize for not updating the soundcloud side on this issue, we do feel like its for the best if Aether Paradise takes its time with the rework to make it best it can be. The goal is for AP to return in late 2024 but most likely 2025 will be when Aether Paradise returns. (Sadly not on soundcloud, this page will be retired after all the unused tracks are uploaded here along with a track to redirect people to the Youtube Page.) Not every track from Pre-Boot AP will be uploaded to Youtube. Though, there might be a few remasters here or there. Thank you so much for supporting Aether Paradise throughout the years. Alola!

Hey there, fellow frogs and frog-ettes! It's your good ol' arcade smash-hit, Frogger! Just like how you remember him! Seems like Konami wants to give him another chance by letting him compete in this borderline nonsensical fuckfest. However, unlike his other great quests, Frogger is lookin' for a lot more than just a kiss from a princess. With an arsenal of certified "fuckboy" music at his belt, he'll show the competition that he is more than just an ugly duckling... err, tadpole. Oh and by the way, don't make him mad... he knows Frog Fu!
