Hey team, been listening to tracks in here for the last 2 or 3 hours now, blood potions for all, here’s a few as recompense.

If I were to have bonus slots I’d have put in Freesia from Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 2, Work Harder also from Lisa, and any of a dozen tracks from Melty Blood Actress Again.

P.S: Why does Savage go so hard lmao.

Hope I’m not too late. Cutting it down to four is very, very hard. I tried to get my favorite composers represented in here but unfortunately couldn’t fit Alberto Jose Gonzalez or Jerry Martin in particular.

Ultima Runes of Virtue 2 title music by Martin Galway:

Plok’s House by Tim Follin:

SimCity SNES - Capital by Soyo Oka:

Bomberman Hero - Zip by Jun Chikuma

(Oh and I haven’t gone through this thread yet so no idea if any of these tracks were here before.

No guarantees that this is perfect, but here’s a playlist of all the YT vids people have linked (except for one joke and one video that no longer exists so I don’t know what it was):

Was trying to figure out why I recognized this and of course it was a Shnabubula remix from 2005:

Count me in the camps of: love the 4-limit because it makes you think and lets everyone be heard, and no real interest in a competitive aspect (although it doesn’t bother me).

It took me forever to even weed down to 4, as I wanted to limit myself to one song per game and ensure that I’m not just listing something for nostalgic or other sentimental reasons.

4 - Mario Kart 64 - Rainbow Road

3 - Starbreak - Frozen Blight

2 - Crypt of the Necrodancer - Power Corpse

1 - Final Fantasy XIV - Penitus

That last one’s a bit tricky, because I think the entire composition stands on its own merit but it does also encompass a dimension of extra context (in the pre-expansion game, the music was for the final non-‘raid difficulty’ dungeon and it offers up several new, previously unheard variations on an epic boss theme that is encountered throughout the leveling process; this music also kicks in for the back half of the game’s first raid endboss).
