PJ Song Contest 64: Super Ultra Arcade Edition (100/100 Achievements!) ~ We have WINNERS ~

SONG CONTEST 64
Super Ultra Arcade Edition
​

Welcome everyone! It's time for the PopJustice Song Contest 64 Super Ultra Arcade Edition (PJSC 64 for short) to finally begin. And what's special about this round, you ask? I'll get to that right after the basic contest overview and rules:

Now, before if I get to what's different about this round, let me just state that this is all OPTIONAL, so if you have that bop that was posted in the PJ main site 3 months and 2 days ago ready to go, you can still submit that, no worries.

As you've probably figured out by now, this round's theme is videogames, and that theme will affect this round in three ways:

1. Submiting songs related to videogames is encoraged, but definitely not mandatory. And when I say related to videogames I mean his in the broadest sense possible. Here are some examples of what would qualify (except these would all get vetoed):
​

​

Spoiler

(played in a GTA 5 radio station)

(Videogame-inspired music video)

(All I need is some vodka and some chunky coke
And watch a chick go get donkey konged)

Basically the connection can be as obvious or as tenuous as you want).​

2. You should pick a videogame character to go with your entry and post it in the thread (if you don't, I'll just pick one for you so don't worry.) There is no veto here, so feel free to go for really obvious picks like Princess Peach or Pikachu.

3. And as for the main event: there will be 100 videogame-style Achievements to collect this round, and a separate leaderboard for them. So this round there won't be only one winner, but acually two (unless the main contest winner manages to come up first in the leaderboard as well, in this case we have the first ever PJSC double winner). As for what these Achievements are exactly, just check the second post.

So, without further ado...

You have until Friday 23th 23:59 GMT to vote.

(Thanks @OspreyQueen)

 

Also, a big thanks to @DJHazey for helping me come up with some of the Achievements. Don't forget to paricipate in his rate.

And also be sure to check @Animalia's Ultimate Gamejusice, who's also helping with the gamification of PopJustice x

 

And I'll pick my character already.

Who else but 2 time PJSC participant and OG Vocaloid Ms. Hatsune Miku



Now I need to actually think of a song to enter ddd

 

Since I’m no expert on video games, I googled ‘hottest male video game characters’ and the #1 on Buzzfeed’s list was “Jacob Taylor” from “Mass Effect 2”?



Works for me.

Also not me submitting a song that could totally be considered video game adjacent without even realizing it until afterwards

 

I'll be representing underrated queen of fighting games/serving lqqks. Morrigan from Darkstalkers.

 

Oh my at this theme! I love it. (No achievements for not submitting votes though? Damn, that was probably the only one I'd be able to get).

 

This is my character obvz

 

Is Queen Nintendo Karen a valid choice for my character?

 

I choose Banjo-Kazooie!


or the iconic Tom Nook



I haven't decided yet...

 

Jacob is the hottest but Mordin has the bangers.

For my character, I would like to claim the myşt̴e̕r̴i͝ou͡s͝ ànd ͏s̡p̢o͏oky̴ MissingNo.!

 

You have really given me alot to think about. I could enter anything now.

All that is certain is that I would like to be Gex.

 

I'll be Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat

 

Let me be edgy af and pick Giygas as my character

 

I should be able to get at least one of these awards, I think.

I'll be Elise Riggs from SSX3, one of the only games I got obsessed with as a kid.

 

I'm definitely taking Commander Shepard and sending my entry in now.

 

Sounds like someone is still pressed about my back-to-back 3rd place finishes which is funny considering that you are begging me to take part in this contest in our pm.

Spoiler

I don't know if coming out of retirement is going to be good for anybody but I will consider it because I might have some ideas in mind for entries.
