The Soundtrack Challenge has returned, but... “the rules have changed.”

TIERS

Members can now chose one of three tiers: ELITE, REGULAR and THEMES.

  • ELITE – Is the most difficult tier. It contains the most obscure and difficult pieces of music to identify in the Godzilla series.

  • REGULAR – The “normal version”. It is very similar to the pieces released during the original game, albeit, a touch easier.

  • THEMES – The easiest version of the game. Focuses only on identifying themes for monsters, characters and military.

Once you have chosen a tier to play you may not play any other tier. (For example, if you chose ELITE, you can not also play THEMES or REGULAR.)

If you decide a tier is too easy or too hard you have the opportunity to switch. However, switching tiers also means you forfeit any points you may have won.

RULES

Only ONE musical piece will be released for EACH TIER every day until December 25th.

ELITE and REGULAR questions:

  • What movie is it from? - Name the film the clip of music is from.

  • Who is the composer? - Name the composer of the specific piece of music. In some cases the composer of the film did not do the musical clip. So guess wisely.

  • Whose theme is it? - This question may not always be asked. When asked, please answer to the best of your ability what monster, character or faction the piece underscores.

  • What scene is it from? – This question may not always be asked since some scores get repetitive. When asked, explain the scene from which the track happens. Be very specific or your answer will be rejected.

THEMES questions:

  • Whose theme is it? - Please answer to the best of your ability what monster, character or faction the piece underscores.

  • What movie is it from? - Name the film the clip of music is from.

  • Who is the composer? - Name the composer of the specific piece of music. In some cases the composer of the film did not do the musical clip.

Each question answered correctly is worth ONE POINT. The member with the most of amount of points by December 25th wins the tier they're playing.

QUESTIONS WILL NO LONGER BE ANSWERED ON THE FORUM. To submit a question, please Private Message me here.

Format your message as so:

Subject Heading: Soundtrack Challenge Round (whichever round we are currently on)

Message:

Round: (Insert current round number)

Tier: (Insert which tier you're playing)

Answers: (Write down the answers to the questions asked for the specific tier you're playing.)

Rounds will last roughly ONE DAY. Answers for rounds that are completed will be rejected. Answers on the forum will be rejected and deleted asap. You may NOT change your answer once submitted. Answers to previous rounds will be announced when the next round begins.

WINNERS AND PRIZES

There will be prizes for the TOP TWO winners of each tier. The higher the tier, the better the prize. Although prizes are kept confidential, you may wish to private message the winners of the previous Soundtrack Challenge for an idea of what they are.

Let the games begin.

GMAN2887 - WOW! This is increidbly neat! I greatly enjoy the amount of time and effort you've placed into this competition! Unfortunately, I'd just make a big bloody fool of myself were I to make a go at it, but I can still be extremely impressed with what you've done here! Fantastic work! Thank you for making this for us! :)

I'll put scores further down the line perhaps, but to be clear the new rules potentially allow everyone to gain points. Points no longer go to the first person who gets it right, they're simply given to you IF you get them right. This is especially hard with the elite setting.

When the answers are posted you know whether you got them right or not. I'll be keeping score for everyone in the meantime.

Updated the rule about switching tiers. You may switch whenever you like, however if you do you still forfiet all points won from the previous tier. I think that's a lot more accessable for members.

Due to low participation, which I anticipated to some degree, I will be shutting down the Soundtrack Challenge 2 for now. It may reopen in the future, but right now there's just no demand for it-- Which is fine.

Thanks to the soundtrack enthusiasts that did participate. Apologies that there won't be much bigger prizes, but for those who were participating and working for said prizes you'll recieve a PM from me shortly. Call it a small reward.

No hard feelings about this at all. I'm very busy at the moment anyway and keeping up with a contest like this with such few people involved just isn't feasable. Plenty will be coming from me in the future though. Scified Tokusatsu will have some major exciting updates soon, the custom Bluray covers will be completed before long (no I didn't forget about them) and I'm planning on creating an Ultraman thread in a similar vein to the DVD threads soon.

Thanks again to those who enjoyed it. Hopfully it will reopen in the future.
