#10 - [ PILOTREDSUN ] 

give warm greetings to the animator musician pilotredsun as he joins the lightning round tournament!
you may know him from the fat cat animation or his retelling of the christmas cretin tale, but he has had a great history of music making, whether fought with a bodybuilder or in a fierce pokemon studio type battle, you'll never know what kind of bog bop he could pull out next!
thanks.

[SHOWDOWN! BUSTING THE CRYPT vs MARCHING INTO WAR PHASE 2] THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS

“Chad Kroeger is the lead singer of Nickelback, a Canadian-originating grunge band. He is also a conspiracy theorist, obsessed with figures that were a part of something referred to as ‘the boys’.”
“His victory against The Wanderer was expected. He took down Buff Strong Bad, with Calculester Hewlett-Packard being taken down soon after with a one-vote difference. He ended up pulling quite a bit of his weight against MACH UNDEFINED, and managed to defeat Miku Holly, securing a spot in Winners Finals. Defeating FILE_001_NOT_FOUND with the help of his fellow contestants, he soon went on to win against Warmonger Nazareth, landing him his slot in Grand Finals… but nobody knows what the future could hold.”

LOST AGAINST: N/A

ALL IN, BALLS OUT - VICTORY! PHOTOGRAPH

“Warmonger Nazareth is yet another song OC, this time based around a single pre-existing mashup. The song was made for Activision & FreeStyleGames’ “DJ Hero 2”, being a mix of Edwin Starr’s “War” and Justice’s “Waters of Nazareth”.
“She defeated Halcyon Holgate in a match with the most votes that round. She had a rough time against the Harrowing Host, but defeated Athletic Doctor in a very close match. Her showdown against The American Dream was a sight to behold… and eventually, she managed to defeat Wally Darling by a solid amount. She fared just as well against Home, with the help of her fellow fighters… but ended up losing to photograph by a very small margin, resulting in her elimination and 3rd Place, er, placement.”

They Say We Must Fight! - VICTORY! WARMONGER NAZARETH

Dr. Darren K. Gunner, a.k.a. The Athletic Doctor, is a medical professional from Grandiose City. He is a Song OC inspired by the SiIvaGunner rip “Athletic Theme (PAL Version) - Super Mario World”, widely considered to be the most famous SiIvaGunner rip ever.
“He managed to overcome The Jivin’ Mr. Hyde in the first round. He came face to face with - and subsequently beat - the Harrowing Host, before falling to losers thanks to Warmonger Nazareth’s efforts. After beating Animatronic Animosity, he went on to stomp Kit-Gun Disco. He had some troubles against Almost Pizza Fortress, but successfully took down Duel shortly thereafter. Against Wizard Of Zenith, he proved himself worthy of his position with the help of his allies, and managed to shut down Calculester Hewlett-Packard with relative ease… but what happens next is up to you.”

Ting-Tang Walla-Walla Bang Bang! - VICTORY! ATHLETIC DOCTOR

“Calculester Hewlett-Packard (V1.2) was a student at Spooky Academy (formerly Spooky High), and currently works as co-owner of an ever-changing food truck. He was once just a library computer, though through a mixture of malware and high school shenanigans, he gained sentience, now aspiring to live life to the fullest.”
“He came out victorious against Duel in the first round. After dealing with Buff Strong Bad, he was defeated by photograph in a very close match. He ended up beating APASHE, despite all odds, and defeated Pete Conlan shortly after. His last obstacle before finals was Dead Parrot Majesty, which he managed to defeat alongside Halcyon Holgate, earning him the final slot in Losers Finals. Beating Halcyon Hellscape with the help of fellow competitors was nothing new to me… but he soon was bested by Athletic Doctor, resulting in his elimination and 4th place position.”

"Grab some calcium-rich warm milk and get ready for a rough landing! After years of waiting and improving, it would seem that Spring Souls has gotten impatient, and decided to hop on the plane without an invitation! Looks like his entry method’s a little rough, though… The plane’s in critical condition, and on a collision course with who-knows-what! Can the funny skeleton and mech-piloting rabbit take out this interference and save the plane, or will it be lights out for everyone involved?!"

Hey, everyone! I finally had the motivation to complete everything I needed for this project to start.

KEEP YOUR EARS OPEN is a spiritual sequel to EYES ON THE PRIZE, a minitourney I ran in Coded Collisions and other such servers. However, I had more ideas that I wanted to work with, and wanted to flex my creative muscles even more... so, with sixteen new competitors, and an aesthetic LOOSELY based on the MILGRAM series on YouTube, here we are.

I'm excited to show off what I have in store, more than you could EVER imagine, so here's a sneak peak at ROUND 1 of the tournament. Enjoy!

Oh, and for those of you already following the tournament, I've made a few alterations and buffs to the characters:

For those out there like me, I'm sure you want something a little bit more genuine on this frustrating day on the internet, so I've taken the liberty of doing my own take on an old classic. Have fun, and vote responsibly.

The original track was created by @beat5kids for Reject Rumble: Remastered (@reject-rumble-1), a long-dead music tournament originally run by @megalolazing-1.

Refunding the War Effort

This is one of two unreleased FULL tracks I made for INTO THE BACKROOMS, a primarily YouTube-based tournament run by @adrien-but-on-stereo-2, who did all of the art (including the thumbnail!). I had been following this tournament since its inception back in... I want to say 2022?... because the premise was interesting enough to warrant speculation. I mean, a backroom trapped in their own contestants? What could be more fascinating than that?

In the end, it just turned out to be a regular tournament, but I think it could've been a hell of a lot more with a few more available resources and/or time in the oven. It has been an honour seeing Adrien improve steadily with music as time went on, and I hope wherever he ends up next is somewhere he'll be able to share his gifts in a more impactful way.

This track wouldn't have been possible without the help of @inkybomb65, so give them my love. I'll be posting the other track in about a week or so. In the meantime, enjoy the show, and vote responsibly... you'll never know whose life could be on the line.
