ONCE-LER: You may have won the... er... physical battle... but I won the war.

[ LR3M2 ] - RESULTS

Whether through a miracle or through the clash, the end has come for Lone Digger. Taking the name of the bar that became his friends' grave, he's been living quietly for quite a while, biding his time... until Ultimus Tourney, where he came back with a vengeance. Since, he's reigned with tooth and claw over the Loser's Bracket, refusing to follow the fate of his brothers in arms. Now that the end has come calling, can Thomas keep swinging, or has the aftermath caught up with him?

N.O.C.O.D.E. - [ LIGHTNING ROUND ]

I'll be honest, Sengoku here is... a nice change of pace! She's a bit shy, content to remain in the background, but compared to these other three it's a godsend. With so much fixation on death, and the end... Having a normal girl around to change the subject when it gets too deep is very nice. Still, I don't know how much help she'd be in pushing back the Shattered... The Zeta Protocol has certainly been a mixed bag so far. Twelve more, though. Who knows, maybe I'll find the perfect person for the job? 

I sure hope I do. We don't have forever.

-

Every journey's got to start with a step, and Sengoku Nadeko is here to take her first! Though she's something of a romantic, it seems something may be hidden under the surface for her... not that she'd say much about it. This shy high school student represents all things Studio Shaft, as well as... snakes and ghosts? How peculiar! Most interestingly, she's got quite a knack for the Soundclown style... Though she hides plenty of mysteries, she's sincerely ready to go!

EMPEROR'S NOTES:
Combatants 1-A and 1-B are extremely quick and capable fighters. They share a bond that allows them to work well as a team and perform powerful combos between themselves. I expected their capture to be difficult, but they actually seemed willing to be brought into the arena, seeing it as some kind of "tournament" and a chance to test their strength. Combatant 1-A, the fox, is the more sporadic of the two, and seemingly incapable of standing still, constantly dashing back and forth in place when not engaged in combat. He's extremely fast in battle and a good shot with a blaster. Combatant 1-B, the masked alien creature, is much calmer than his partner, but insanely talented with a blade in his own right.
This battle will be very interesting…

What is this? It seems like Rayman, the cheerful warrior from the Glade of Dreams, and the Chorus Kids, the Glee Club stars from the Rhythm Heaven games, are ready to duke it out despite not even being properly revealed yet! 

Will the Chorus Kids sing their opponent a lullaby to send him back to where he came from, or will Rayman use his helicopter hair to glide away from the out of sync choir? You know, this isn't Rayman's first time facing off against a bunch of small, white, screaming creatures...

Conquer The Webspace

Sternfahrt mit Mario Kart“ ist mehr als nur Musik – es ist eine Reise durch Erinnerungen, Freundschaft und Abenteuer. Dieses Album widme ich meinem besten Freund Gabriel, mit dem ich unzählige Stunden Mario Kart auf der Nintendo Switch gezockt habe. Zwischen spannenden Rennen, lachenden Gesichtern und dem Ziel, immer wieder über die Sterne zu fahren, haben wir unsere eigene kleine Welt geschaffen.

Die Songs erzählen von all dem, was uns verbunden hat: vom sprudelnden Glück eines Bubble Teas, von unserer legendären Bank, die unzählige Gespräche gehört hat, und von vielen weiteren besonderen Momenten. Dazu kommen brandneue Tracks, die diese Erinnerungen mit frischen Ideen verbinden – eine Mischung aus Nostalgie und Neuanfang.

„Sternfahrt mit Mario Kart – Album 28“ ist ein musikalischer Dank an die schönste Zeit und ein Stück Herz, das für immer weiterfährt.

Glückskeks Glück 39

[notice: this project is cancelled.]

Welcome to Second Heaven. Infectious is a mashup/arrangement tournament by Spark Records, inspired by projects such as King For Another Day and Mashup Week, with a heavy emphasis on a dark storyline. This project is best enjoyed on YouTube, but we will be uploading tracks here as well.

If you are interested in the storyline as it develops, please join our Discord as well. Both are found in the links section.

Please note that Infectious contains potentially triggering themes, such as disease, civil unrest, death, blood and gore (gore will not be visualized, only mentioned if it comes up), and more. We understand that this isn't for everyone, and we would like to ask that you know your limits. If you are not comfortable with any of these, it may be in your best interest to not follow this tournament for your own comfort.

Thank you.
