Mick Gordon's legacy discussion

not sure if you ended up finding them or not but here are those teasers for Riptor’s first version theme. At least I’m pretty sure.

So much better. I just needed to recognize the flutes and knocking percussion, oh well.

WOW! I like it! Even though its a few seconds sample…I think it could have worked! Reminds me of Aria… but i think this would have had more excitement and aggression behind the music than the current track.

thanks for sharing!

To be honest considering that everyone else was geting a revamp of their design it was expect to happen. While I would of loved Riptor to have her snake like features, this new Riptor tuned in a way to something else I liked: Dinosaurs/Monsters and Robots. I love both Riptor designs equally as a result. Both retaining that unhinged animal brutality without even giving a ■■■■ about questioning her reasoning.

I’m just glad she did NOT look like a giant chicken in her default. If she did I think that would of been a real insult. When I first saw Riptor’s final new look when she came out, I went around lookin right away for all the similarities. Obviously there’s a few similarities but still I wouldn’t dare call this form an abomination. considered that she really could of looked ALOT worse.

To me it just sounds like a fully artifical animal, a controlled machine, not a hunting beast. I also can’t really imagine the weight of this music at all, to light.he only one that MAY been hopeful is probably the second one. to be honest if the one we had had this percussion I think it would of been perfect.

You are right. tHe main elements of this song are percussion and flute

Mick might like em but I still shall wait until we legitmatley here what they do with Kim’s theme. Also: Good to see Mick is feeling the love lol.

People need to learn this more than they care to admit. When I want something in particular that one game doesn’t offer, I don’t cry about it like most do. I either appreciate and enjoy the difference or go elsewhere to satiate my need for what’s not being provided by the game. It’s as simple as that. More people should have that mentality and hopefully they’ll realize sonnet rather than later.

Indeed, yes and well said too :clap:

Rash’s theme sounds really cool to me. What about you guys

I totally agree with you: Rash’s theme DOES sound really cool, neat, and good already. I’m already liking his theme very much too :smile:

I didn’t like Riptors theme at first but it grew on me. Still isn’t near of the other KI themes but it’s okay, feels like a generic Hollywood track for Jurassic Park or something.

Its OK

Riptors track in the oringal was amazing though easily one of the best.

This one is nothing more than a background tune it feel like the msuic they play during a scene and not the title track.

I love mick allot but im kinda happy we are moveing on to guys who maybe have a bit more time for KI

The Magic of Riptor’s theme is experienced not when listening to it alone but when in the heat of battle. It’s very adrenaline-packed and makes battles very intense.

I’m 50/50 on this one.
While it may not fit the character all that much, I won’t deny it fits the stage soooooooo well.

Yeah, I’ve appreciated it most when watching online tournaments. They hype moment get more hyped with that theme.

It’s good but I don’t count it as wheter they can actually do the season justice or not. Since Rash isn’t an original KI character to begin with. We’ll see how they fair with Kim-Wu than we can worry about weather they’re right for this game or not.

pretty much this.

If ya ask me though I think the topic is getting a bit to focused on ONE theme Mick did that is apprantley not as popular. Especially in the face of other songs he’s done that people seem to like.

unfortunately, Vine being what it is, I literally can’t access these videos with my screen reader. Any chance someone could put itup on youtube/soundcloud which would be more accessible? I’ve been wanting to hear these for a while.
