Well if it got on there, that means you had 20+ votes, and your score was the 6th highest of all submissions with 20+ votes at that time. That's all there really is to it.

I'm not too sure about #1 and #2, lol. Haven't checked the rest.

Their both short and sloppy. Pretty sure Bryce is an alt of Splatters, and both songs got proxy voted up. :( Or atleast I take getting 30 votes in a couple minutes likely the result of proxy voting.

Left this guy a huge review or should I say 2 huge reviews, hehe :P. Check them out xP.

I think I liked #4 the most. Even with its overly-action-packed drums and weird outro, that remix is one of the best Chrono Trigger remixes I've ever heard. The rest are actually quite good too. #3 was cool, even though it had some very weird transitions and random additions (such as that really strange tempo change at the end) and the sound effects weren't that well timed. I'd say from my order of preference it'd be #4, #3, #5, #2 and last being #1. The top 5 is muddled up...

Almost positive, check out the flash's on splatter's page.

Also, it's come to my attention the the top 5 has nothing to do with score, that's the top 30.

The top 5 goes by popularity = downloads / time.
I found this out by accident when linking external links to the download page of my song (http://newgrounds.com/audio/download/ID _number) and got first in top 5 of the week. The rule of 20 votes still applies. So maybe he was also proxy downloading?

lol idk.

He has won many top-5's bec uase he uses proxies to cheat. someone reprimand him already and ip ban him.

He has more alts then that unless I'm mistaken, and there is no secret that theres proxy voting/dling. Some sort of bot program.

I was a bit disapointed myself, I had a song scored at 4.33 I felt confident about getting weekly with. I'm not crushed that it didn't but proxy voting tomfoolery is a bit much.

Ohwell.

What if he was just embedding his song in a high traffic page? That's not cheating.

Multiple instances of his pieces following this trend, pleanty still lying around.

Also multiple instances of his media shooting up in just a few minutes from 15 votes to like 60. Also a large variety of his songs and videos just getting way higher scores then what a video/song of his skill sets calliber would garner.

Also looking at current chart trneds anything with a score of less than 4.38 doesnt have much of a chance to get on the top 5.

Excluding this last week, past weekly (last 3-4) winners have been as low as 4.05-4.20.

New tops!
#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

Voice acting at #1, which tends to happen every now and then. At least this time it's not some prank call or something that isn't actually voice acting. Congrats FKWAJ.

At #2, a nice classical piece (or at least that's what I would classify it as) by gravey. I like it.

At #3, Very nice sounding track for a first in Reason. As always, Bjra seems to know what he's doing.

#4 feels kind of badly produced to me. Mixing could be a lot better, sounds very rough overall to me.
Added to that, I'm pretty sure that a capella is under copyright. =/

#5 Seems to be very nicely put together olskool hiphop track. Liking it.

----

Rather good top 5 in my opinion, except maybe #4 then.

#4 needs some damn better mixing

After listening to TMM43's Sexy Bitch remix I just can't help but wonder if these vocals are free of copyrights...

Oh come on, shut it about the zerovoting.
I can tell you it certainly wasn't me though. I'd rather vote up an audio reg to increase their chances.

good waterflame stuff, alot of his sounds come across as low quality though, especially his drums and strings. will probably make good background music for flashes though.

yeah kinda not good.

#4

guy needs to learn the difference between a mashup and a remix, it was long and drawn out imo, but well made compared to most typical trance stuff on here.

i think this songs would be great if it was executed well, needs better drums and the bass to be more in your face

Fuck, i hate when people are right. XD You're obviously completely right, and i really wish i didn't get top 5. The melody was nothing special, EQ was shit. I feel the same way BJRA does :(

I won't disappoint you guys next time :)
