After quite the delay (again) since our last Game Suite Zone episode, we finally take a look at an example of a recently-completed composition! The challenge was to simply compose video game music, so as long as you tried, you did great! Besides that, I can't just issue a challenge and not do it, so you can feel free to take a look at my creation process!
Here are the topics we covered. Subtitles are now available!
1) The Music Itself - 0:45
2) Thinking of the Idea - 3:45
3) Fitting the Subject Material - 5:39
4) Crafting Around the Idea - 7:56
5) Self-Reflection - 14:10
Hope this video was worth editing in 100-degree weather. Now I have more evidence to explain that the universe is trying to torture me!

By the way, heres a poll asking what you think of this series, if youd like to contribute: http://www.strawpoll.me/14164716
Despite this piece being easier to cover, the episode still took quite a while to complete. That makes me doubt that I can ever really make this a weekly thing. I basically did almost nothing but work on this new episode to see if I can get it out in a week, but I missed that deadline a few days ago.
Ill see what else I can do, but Im not confident that I can produce content at this kind of rate. Its a shame, too, because I dont like keeping the channel without content. The next episode will probably be shorter, but I dont think I can keep working on it like this. The only way to produce more content is to choose shorter/easier pieces to cover, but thats not what I intended this series to be in the first place.
Ah, whatever. Well see what happens. I hope this video was interesting for you!

![Starting Anew! - Zelda For Glory! [1]
After hours of lurking around the Zelda boards, Im finally making some sort of progress. Yay.
Ive been getting more hardcore into Zelda practice lately, so I guess Im maining her again, like with Brawl.
So far, Im using DSmash to punish a lot, which I want to avoid. Im trying to use more DTilt/UTilt strings. Ive come up with a lot of cool combos/followups. I just need to get into the habit of using them when I can.
Additionally, I really need to get rid of old For Glory rolling/spotdodging habits. There are always so many moments that I could have done some damage if I just didnt spotdodge every time my attack whiffed. I tend to do that on instinct.
Im also learning a bit more about specific matchups (like Ness, Mario). After looking at Zeldas frame data, I also have a much better idea of what I should and shouldnt be going for. I just need to practice incorporating them into my actual matches, since they seem to go right out the window when I start.
Oh, and Im actually using elevator now. Youre welcome.
