the first draft of SK Hydrocity Zone (Act 2) (Beta Mix) - Sonic 3 & Knuckles (aka Hydrocity Buster).
in contrast to the final, it's in a different key entirely, the drums havent been changed from Hydrocity Zone Act 2, the third lead at 0:44 is missing, and a few of the lead-ins are different. thought it was kind of interesting to share
version that ended up going up:
Todays rip: 12/07/2023
Season 3 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume L [Side B]
Ripped by KnightOfGames
i remember being super proud of this rip at the time just because of the 3/4 conversion in the drums taking the life out of me at the time. i could probably do that without blinking now, but i don’t think i’d actually change anything about the rip if i had made it today. it feels like it’s already complete
and worth noting, since this rip was put on an album years after it was initially released (god bless Volume L for finally giving so many older tracks official album releases), the trackname for it included a direct reference to the later-made KFAD2 track of the same name, Francis Flow. i didn’t have anything to do with it myself but RHMan did such a great job on it that it just felt necessary
the first part of it, “THE NEW TEAM 10 FORT!!!” was just what i thought team 10 videos were named because i had only actually watched a single one, since a friend showed it to me & several others in one of the older watch together youtube sites that’s probably defunct now
i don’t get why more youtubers don’t use youtube’s “hide user from comments” feature. it’s all the benefits of blocking a user for saying some rude shit but applies to everybody else in your domain as well. youtube comments always feel so unmoderated but perfectly decent tools exist to at least keep the weird humans at bay, the bots not so much
i have made literally every comix zone rip on siivagunner except for Options, so i figured this time i would do something that doesn’t make much sense as an arrangement in that style. like the last few times have been more obvious rock songs like lonely day by system of a down and danger danger from mlp a new generation (it’s largely a rock song shuttup), so i thought it would be funny to just do a song i like. i was listening to a lot of backstreet boys so i did the call
early version of Super Mario All Stars SMB3 World 4 Map (NTSC Version) i made before the rest of mememe was released. not too much of a difference aside from a different loop ending & a different key, as the rip was largely based on this 1 segment anyway
also helps put into perspective how long of a wait you sometimes have to contend with when it comes to the first draft of your idea vs. it being published onto the channel haha
yet another beta mix of a siiva rip. heres the final if youre curious
