Fire Emblem Theme - Fire Emblem Series
Guessed by 5/8
Namely: Noc, Yug_Guy, MSF, Dekka, Dudeman

I actually used the Brawl version, not an actual Fire Emblem game. Please don't hurt me lol.
I accepted all versions, but well done to those who found the exact version, and sorry to anyone who was thrown off by it.

4 Sometimes I feel that my memory should burn on the sun, but then I remember that I wouldn't get any songs without it. So familiar, this one...

Namely: MSF

Well done to MSF for getting this one! Y'all should really go check out the Rhythm Heaven ost, it's great

Wild Pokemon Battle - Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs
Guessed by 0/8


The Pokemon Ranger series actually has a really nice soundtrack. Too bad it's usually overshadowed by pmd as a spinoff game.
The reason I chose such an obscure time stamp is purely because it's my favourite part of the tune.

Finale - Undertale
Guessed by 5/8
Namely: Waluigi, THC, Yug_Guy, MSF, Dudeman

This one isn't as popular as Megalovania or Death by Glamour, but it is definitely one that's worth looking into, imo.

[close]

Bonus

Time Stamp - 0:00

Character Select - Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary
Guessed by 0/8
Why am I not surprised?

I don't think anyone here has even heard of the Puyo puyo series. I shouldn't expect people to know tracks from a Japan-exclusive game lol.
The soundtrack is definitely worth taking a look, though.

And the winner is...

Surprise surprise

I'm a little confused by the fact that I still haven't found any Pokémon on Lux's quiz...

Somehow, all of the melodies except the pokemon ones (there are two) and the bonus one have been guessed

I mean, I don't think the second pokemon one will ever be guessed. But hey, it's a cool game with a cool soundtrack, so I'm not bothered.

The most guessed themes are (in descending order):
#3
#6
#4
#14

[LuxQuiz v3.0]

I forgot I was meant to be hosting a quiz, so I started making this quiz about 6 hours ago.
Sorry if it's a bit crappy. Especially the articulations.

Anyway, here it is
LuxQuiz v3.0


It's easy at the start, then insanely difficult at the end.
The last one doesn't really count, although in case someone actually does get it, they'll get a point.

The quiz is out of 14, with a maximum score of 15.

Enjoy~


p.s. Let me know if there are any problems with the files.

Damn it, if I had sent my answers I would have got 5 of them, including the Geometry Dash one.

Anyway, I might not be able to make a quiz in time, so please can someone take my spot for June 26?

Rots

Erm... This is bad. The only one I've got is Melody XIV.

Hold on--the melody of the relevant section of LuxraySpiral's #14 sounds like all high C's to me in the video. (Guess I may not be trying "Songs with prominent long-note melodies-that-could-be-countermelodies" in my Quiz 4 unless I provide everything that could be the melody there...)

Yeah, I was tempted to make them all dyads, but I changed it in the last minute

[mastersuperfan]

10 people participated in this round!

I somehow managed to make #1 and #2 harder than any of the 'Medium' melodies. Oops.

Most of these titles are based off random YouTube vids, so excuse me if I get them wrong.
Anyway, here goes the answers:

'Easy'

#1 (4/10)

Animal Crossing City Folk - The City (Day)

Time stamp 0:01

This one should really have been in the 'Medium' section, but it doesn't really matter.
Also appears in Sm4sh

Guessed by MSF, Yug_Guy, Dudeman, Olimar12345

[close]

#2 (4/10)

Star Fox 64 - Star Wolf

Time stamp 0:07

I don't know how different it would have been if I had included the iconic intro, but [insert cliché I-wasn't-expecting-this comment here]
Also appears in Brawl and Sm4sh

Guessed by MSF, Yug_Guy, Dekkadeci, Dudeman

[close]

#3 (9/10)

The Legend of Zelda - Secret Sound

I couldn't even find a YT video for this, probably because it's more of a sound effect than a track.

Guessed by WaluigiTime64, MSF, Yug_Guy, Dudeman, Latios212, Olimar12345, THC, Maelstrom, InsigTurtle

#4 (8/10)

Undertale - SAVE the world

Time Stamp 0:21

I wasn't sure how many people would get Undertale, but it turns out it's a fair number.

Guessed by WaluigiTime64, MSF, Yug_Guy, Dudeman, Latios212, Olimar12345, Maelstrom, InsigTurtle

#5 (10/10)

F-Zero - Mute City

Time Stamp 0:19

Everyone got this one! Very pleased about this one ^^

'Medium'

#6 (5/10)

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - World 6

Time Stamp 0:11

I'm running out of both things to say and time to say them, so yes... er... here ya go.

Guessed by MSF, Dudeman, Latios212, THC, InsigTurtle

[close]

#7 (8/10)

Kid Icarus - Reaper

Time Stamp 0:00

Here's a fun one to have on repeat for 30 minutes. I didn't expect this many people to get this one.
Also plays in Kid Icarus: Uprising (That might explain the high number of correct guesses).

Guessed by WaluigiTime64, MSF, Yug_Guy, Dudeman, Latios212, Olimar12345, Maelstrom, InsigTurtle

#8 (6/10)

Donkey Kong Country - World Map

#9 (6/10)

Balloon Fight - Balloon Trip

[close]

#10 (8/10)

Kirby Super Star - Revenge of Meta Knight - Halberd

Time Stamp 0:14

Yeah, I didn't know what this was called, so I was originally gonna go for the name of the theme in Brawl, but I decided to go with the BrawlBRSTMs X name

Guessed by WaluigiTime64, MSF, Yug_Guy, Dekkadeci, Dudeman, Latios212, THC, Maelstrom

[close]

'Hard'

#11 (1/10)

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky - Waterfall Cave

Time Stamp 1:12

I could have gone with the opening in the weird time sig, but last time I included a piece with a weird time sig, pretty much everyone guessed it. Also, I kinda stole the notes from Dusk's arrangement, because I gave up on transcribing it by ear. Sorry.

Latios212 was the only person that guessed this one!

[close]

#12 (1/10)

New Super Mario Bros. - Volcano

Time Stamp 0:07

I tried to choose one that would be hard to recognise on piano.

Again, Latios212 was the only person that got this one.

[close]

#13 (1/10)

Pokemon Black Version 2 / White Version 2 - Frozen City

Time Stamp 0:00

I actually really like this song, even though it only appears once in the game. Someone should probably do a piano cover.

This one ended up being the deciding melody, as MSF sent in the tie-breaker! Well done!

[close]

#14 (1/10)

Super Smash Bros. Melee - Boss Battle

Time Stamp 0:22

Yeah, this one was kinda mean.

Congratulations to Dudeman for managing to get this one right!

[close]

#15 (1/10)

Rhythm Heaven - Remix 8

Time Stamp 1:43

I used the in-game version which speeds up at the end. All those perfect attempts...

Well done to MSF for getting this one correct!

[close]

And the winner is...

Fun Stuff

The Legend of Zelda: Pretty Much All of Them

That fanfare from Zelda for unlocking/achieving something
That theme from Kid Icarus that plays when you get attacked
That theme from Balloon Fight or something
That theme from Kirby Super Star

I feel that 14 is either Kirby, Smash Brawl, or the song that played right before the Melee theme in a Mario piano medley I like.

It took me like 10 minutes to find the right track and apparently it's SAVE The world and i'm like goddammit i spent 10 minutes trying to find this i don't want to save the world no more

[close]

Great, my list of who guessed what has disappeared. This will take a little longer than expected. Sorry.

Btw, all franchises appear only once, with the exception of Mario and Pokemon, each appearing twice.


I'll be uploading the answers in about 24 hours from now, so be sure to get your answers in by then!

Dull

Ledger lines on m.48 are a bit hard to read, just lettin' you know (unless you did that on purpose!)

Yeah, in equivalent sections, I change clefs and put in 8vb signs/lines.

Yeah, sorry about that.
The notes are C, E, G, Eb, G, Bb, G, Bb, G, Bb etc. (10th intervals apart from the G => Eb)

Currently, two of our participants are tying for first place!

The only melodies that haven't been guessed correctly so far are #11, #12 and #13.

The moon is made of cheese.



One of these three sentences is a lie

[5.27.17 Quiz]

Because I live on the other side of the planet for most of you, I'd have to post my quiz a bit early or a bit late. And it's better to be early than late, right? So here we go then:

5.27.17 Quiz

A few things:

• There are 15 melodies. The first 5 are 'easy', the next 5 are 'medium' and the last 5 are 'hard', though they are generally quite easy.
  
• The file corrupted an hour or so ago but I think it's fixed now. Please let me know if it does corrupt again
• I'm gonna be quite generous when it comes to marking, to prevent unnecessary salt.

Enjoy!

Edit: fixed a few typos
