MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3-on-3 MIXTAPE MELEE
CONTEST CLOSED – WINNERS: Listen to the Marvel Combatants
Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is one of the most anticipated releases to hit this year. You’ve torn up the tourneys, you’ve snatched up the DLC, what next? While the greatest heroes and villains have decided the “fate of two worlds” there’s another battle brewing on ours. Nerd rap’s finest video game and comic-loving rhyme-spitters are on the warpath and their clash will be the stuff of legend. In the video game corner: MegaRan, 8-Bit Duane, and My Parent’s Favorite Music. In the comic book corner: Adam WarRock, The Wordburglar, and Tribe-One. They’re sharpening their tongues for a vicious brawl. But if they’re really gonna bring it, they’re gonna need the illest war drums imaginable. Do YOU have what it takes to craft the most brutal, battle-ready comic book and video game beats?
THE CHALLENGE Nerdom needs YOU to become the ultimate beatsmith. Craft a beat sampling from the virtually endless library of potential Marvel and Capcom-based music. There’s original Capcom game scores but there’s also the scores video games based on Marvel Comics, and the scores to movies and tv series, or other media based on either Marvel or Capcom. Your beats could be funny, they could be brutal – any style is appropriate! Above all, these beats must be awesome and only sample from either Marvel Comics or Capcom-based material. Check out the Nerdy Show episode Dropping Some Science to hear us debut the contest and talk about the plethora of sources available to sample from. The doors are wide open – get creative!
