The Theme Thread.

Pick a theme song for yourself or a friend! Try a normal/character theme and a battle theme. Don't pick anything extremely dramatic for a battle theme or people will know you're trying to compensate for not being cool enough. Try to pick something that can be looped in case our friend Arbitrary Numbers wants to use the song in the VSB game he wants to make; for instance, maybe I'd like my theme song to be Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly," but, even with licensing issues aside, that would be hard for Arby to implement on a number of levels.

Examples 1: Normal Theme. Battle Theme.

Examples 2: Normal Theme. Battle Theme.

Examples 3: Normal Theme. Battle Theme. (The arranged version's even better, by the way)

Now gimmie good music, if you would be so kind.

 

[Torlikoff]

No, we do bad meme music.

But in all seriousness, something Like this.

More edit

Am indecisive

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

I was hoping that memes wouldn't be the first comment, but I expected it, tbh, lol. Do give the actual thing a shot, though; it's a fun way to challenge yourself, and I put some work in the OP.

 

[Torlikoff]

Alright, I should probably change it from a song that's two letters away from your choice, right?

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

Sorry, didn't see your edit. And I came off as kinda harsh, so lemme reword dat.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I'll just give myself one for fun.

Normal theme: We Will Fall Together by Toh Kay (But played really slowly and at a very low pitch)

Battle theme: Death Battle OST - A Strange Fate

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Normal theme is Corridors if Time. That or Schala's theme

Y'all already know my battle theme.

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

Gewd, gewd, this is what I like to see! And to the uninformed, this is the battle theme Cal refers to.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Maybe we'll use that if Cal ever fights an evil clone of himself.

Don't want to derail this into another discussion about the RPG, so I'll leave it at that. Or if there's a climactic fight where Cal gets some Deus Ex Machina powers.

[Phoenix821]

This for normal theme

This for Battle theme

 

[CrimsonStarFallen]

Normal theme would be either this or this

Battle theme would be either this. Or this. Or maybe this.

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

I might as well do this just for fun.

Not sure on a normal theme yet, but for battle themes...

Sleepy/LARP Azzy battle theme: Havoc

W O K E Azzy battle theme: Existence Collapses

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

@CSF - Great picks, would go with the Undertale one and the P5 one. All excellent, though.

@Aza THOT - That Homestuck one's some great C64-ish chiptune. Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII have excellent music, as well. Also just found this article bout best Marvel character, thought you might find it interesting.

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

"Everyone loves him, except ME."

I'll find some use for that, somewhere.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

@Azzy

We've been thinking about including an easter egg where if the player interacts with you too many times, you'll get angry and "awaken" for real, deliberately crashing the game. This is not to be confused with your battle technique "Awaken", which is just a LARP version of it that erases foes from existence.

Either that or it'll just trigger an RPG battle with the true Tier 0 Azathoth that you literally cannot win.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Everyone knows this is the real true!Azzy battle theme

 

[Phoenix821]

You cannot grasp the true form of Azzy's theme

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

@AN

Sounds like a party.

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

I'll try my hand at some normal Azathemes for Azathot, both of which originate from truly underappreciated soundtracks.

Not Woke. I think he said on his profile that he likes this kind of music.

Woke. Pushing the boundaries of how dramatic the music should ideally be, but Azzy deserves no less than the musical might of Tim Follin.

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

Oooh nice.

Speaking of retro + jazz fusion... this seems like another good option for a normal Azzy theme. Especially with how AN described the first encounter.

 

[Overlord775]

You mess with the the crabbo

you get the stabbo

also theme song for shop

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

Also

This is totally my theme, in real life...(unfortunately).

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

My Theme:


BRUNO SUTTER - Haters Gonna Hate-0

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

I alway considered this my "theme". Hell, it's served the basis of a few stories I wrote and never finished because I'm great at managing free time.

My battle theme, obviously. Either that or Maxwell Silver Hammer if i'm feeling edgy.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

This for me .

 

[Andytrenom]

I am not sure if I will have a battle or not, but in case I do, How's this theme sound?

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

@Andy - Hey, that's pretty good! I'll check that band out. I wonder why they're named after a character from Twin Peaks?

Pretty much all these songs rule. I even liked Zach's rap, although I hadn't pegged Darkanine for any kind of metal. Works if it's that style, though.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

First Phase/Normal Theme

Second Phase

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

@Saik - Funny, I was just about to say "Pepper Spray" would have been fitting before I heard the second track; good taste! You could pick some tracks from Touhou or Yume NIkki Gensou if something more melodic was needed, but I do like some good noise music every now and then, like Oneohtrix Point Never.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Think you meant Pepper Steak? It is definitively a second choice of mine. And while I love Touhou or YN's soundtrack, I don't think any were really fitting of me. Unlike the first track, which is 10% moaning.

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

Oof, silly typo on my part. Though it would be great if the Batter just whipped out some pepper spray to use on the ghosts. Lemme atone for the typo real quick...

10% moaning sounds like my life.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

I have a song who is like, 70% moaning, but it's a tad too spoopy (And seizure inducing) for me

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

Now I wanna do a creepy song feature. If that sounds fun. hit me up on my wall since you're an admin and you don't need my nonsense creepy music clogging up space for important messages.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Third Impact - End of Evangelio

This is the theme song of existence.

 

[FateAlbane]

Normal Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh1VTKXCGVQ

EDIT: Whoops, messed the boss theme. It's actually this.

 

[FateAlbane]

I alway considered this my "theme". Hell, it's served the basis of a few stories I wrote and never finished because I'm great at managing free time.
My battle theme, obviously. Either that or Maxwell Silver Hammer if i'm feeling edgy.

Somehow, as I lived in this world, I believed from the depths of my heart I'd find someone else who knew songs from Blind Guardian as I listened to Skalds and Shadows.

And now that day has come.

 

[ShiroyashaGinSan]

Normal Theme: Mirio

Battle Theme: Sidewinder

 

[FateAlbane]

Norn theme is canonically my secret boss theme if you bring Weekly or SomebodyData to the party. (sk) For whatever reason that makes the battle against me something that takes at least 100 hours of uninterrupted gameplayto finish.

 

[Andytrenom]

I'm actually surprised you don't know them. They are a pretty famous band
