Big shoutout to Dominic who I've been bugging for over a year to collaborate on this project. He's one of my favorite musicians ever and I'm tickled pink to have him on board. Wickedly talented on the guitar, his wisdom, and extremely gracious with his time. If Rangers dig this track, I'm hoping to do more like this with Dom's help. Check his stuff out:

Also, thanks Mike D for editing the vid together (and I'm pretty sure performing all the comboz you see)RigTony Porter2025-06-29 | ...Tony Porter Audio ReelTony Porter2025-06-14 | Audio reel for games I done worked on in the last 10 years or so. New stuff, old stuff, unreleased stuff... heh.
Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid Dungeons & Dragons: Sword Coast Legends Wreck League WarPips Halo MegaBloks (Project Haggar)
At first I hesitated putting in Halo stuff, but since it was acknowledged publicly by MS/343 I was kinda dying to show it off or even say I got to work on it. Yeah, it was cancelled, came at the tail end of the 360 and for one reason or another it was yanked.Power Rangers Battle For The Grid - Rita RepulsaTony Porter2021-12-17 | For Rita Repulsa, I went back to MMPR themes, BFTG themes, and even her Sentai counterpart's themes to come up with something fun, villainous, and Grid Worthy. I like to give myself a challenge of puzzle to not only combine all the elements, but to flex them in fun exciting ways. That was the target anyways, and I hope you dig it.Power Rangers Battle For The Grid - Poisy & SledgeTony Porter2021-11-18 | This is the extended version of the theme music used for Poisandra's release in Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid. I feel that Sledge needed more representation in the theme since he plays a vital part in her gameplay so I added some metal chunk to it. Hope you dig it!Power Rangers Battle For The Grid - Season 4 Promo MusicTony Porter2021-09-16 | A music only version of the Battle For The Grid Season Four trailer. A montage of Adam Park, Poisandra, and Rita's themes as well as some SPD thrown in for Doggie.Power Rangers Battle For The Grid Street Fighter X Power RangersTony Porter2021-07-02 | Thanks to the amazing guitar work of Dominic Cifarelli I've managed to combine both Ryu's and Chun-Li's theme in to one super track. I actually wrote the two themes together in the very beginning and then split them apart for their individual promos. I might still release their individual tracks, but I kinda wanted something that would underline the whole project, the whole crossover. When I found out Battle For The Grid was going to get Chun and Ryu, I knew the music was going to be a highlight for me to write, I knew it would have to be amazing. I couldn't finish it in time for their release so I took my time with it and enlisted the help of Dominic to nail down and solidify my guitar lines. Written for 14 year old Tony and his friends playing Street Fighter overnight and into the early hours of the morning.Power Rangers Battle For The Grid - Drakkons Throne (Story)Tony Porter2021-05-26 | This track has been around for a few years and we used pieces of it in some promo vids (Quantum Ranger) but it never had a home in the game until we unlocked the Drakkon's Throne (Story) level with the 2.6 update. Anyways, here it is. Featuring some guitarwork by the amazing Dominic Cifarelli.Power Rangers Battle For The Grid - Scorpinas ThemeTony Porter2020-12-08 | It's the music from the Scorpina Release Promo! ...which closes out season three for Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid. I didn't have as much time for this track as I wanted as I was busy launching another game but I tried incorporating a lot of the ideas I got from everyone. I tried to keep it pop, had fun with synths and a dance beat, but ultimately leaned into my guitars to tie everything together. If we get a BGM select in the game I'll consider doing an extended version but for now I'll leave it here.Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid - Lauren ShibaTony Porter2020-09-15 | This is Lauren Shiba's theme from Power Rangers Battle For The Grid. Since the "Samurai" series pretty much just updated the classic "Go Go Power Rangers" theme from Mighty Morphin I didn't have a lot to work with in terms of a cover that wouldn't sound like an MMPR cover. I took to inspiration a few things. One, Ibuki and Akuma's themes from 3rd Strike. Those groovey jungley beats with sub-bass just undulating all over the place. Also gave me the idea to use the Shakuhachi as the main instrument. Two, Last Blade 2's "Decision at Daybreak" big piano added a lot of drama so I threw that in. And finally, the hero chorus from GGPR but made to fit the song and not just another rehash.
As of now it's not IN the game but the plan is to include it as a playable BGM for a fighting arena. Now how do I spotify things?Power Rangers Battle For The Grid Command CenterTony Porter2020-07-14 | New BGM for the Command Center. If you liked the old one, this was based off it but amped up and more dynamic. If we get the ability to jukebox select the songs then I'll bring back all the old ones. For now I'm just updating!
This version is an even newer version than the one in Season 3. The mix in the game is ok but a little flat for standalone listens. Here's to getting traction on a proper soundtrack release one day!Power Rangers Battle For the Grid Jungle Fury Promo MusicTony Porter2020-07-14 | ...Power Rangers Battle For The Grid Season 3 TeaserTony Porter2020-05-25 | For fun, here's the isolated music track for the Season Three teaser video just shown at Combo Breaker.
Starts with a bit of Jungle Fury and ends in the classic MMPR stinger.Power Rangers Battle For The Grid The Tower Demo VersionTony Porter2020-05-04 | Just found this demo version lying around of this song. Written a year ago after getting good reviews on Corinth, I set out to make something riff-heavy but darker to set the tone for Drakkon's Tower.
This version hits all the same beats but the guitars are a little fuzzier, a little dirtier and the mix is more raw. I thought worth postin'!Power Rangers Battle For The Grid WarzoneTony Porter2020-03-25 | This is the new and improved Harwood/Warzone track updated for 2020. Taking the original song to a more energetic, frenetic place. Was able to spend much more time on it this time around and I hope it shows. Learning to make things not only good, but hype. Keep playing so I can keep writing!Power Rangers Battle For The Grid The TowerTony Porter2020-02-05 | Tower has been in the game for a few updates now, but for one reason or another was never selectable. It would show up in Ranked and in the third act of Story Mode but that was it. It's one of my favorite tracks of the ongoing revamp of the game's OST so I thought I'd celebrate it's availability by making it more available, in higher resolution than in-game.Chun Li Ranger Story Trailer - Music OnlyTony Porter2019-12-14 | A music only version of the Chun Li Ranger story trailer from nWay's Legacy Wars mobile game. Footage courtesy of nWay.
I started with Bison's "bells" from his theme song to set the mood. Agitation, conflict, leading to Gia's assist for a breakdown powered by Bison's Psycho Power Deflect. Chun snags the coin, music rises into hopeful and Chun turns into a Ranger, finally!Power Rangers Battle For The Grid CorinthTony Porter2019-10-29 | Corinth Battle Track from Battle For The Grid. Video was just a fun experiment with video filters, probably too much fun.Power Rangers Battle For The Grid - Lord ZeddTony Porter2019-10-19 | Instrumental version of the Zedd Promo for Battle For The Grid. It's very much a draft version only at just a minute long and some placeholder chant samples in place of the "Lord Zedd" chants I'll be replacing it with.Roland MKS 50 testTony Porter2018-12-21 | Fun with the aboveFun Rope Creak SoundTony Porter2018-09-07 | Captured with my phone, gotta go back at dusk when no kids are there with a good mic and get that creeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaakkkkk.SilverRPM DemoTony Porter2018-06-29 | Quick demo of SilverRPM for funPower Rangers: Legacy Wars Soundtrack ReelTony Porter2018-05-10 | Sampling of music I composed for Power Rangers: Legacy Wars.

The values of everything changed throughout the production so I had to keep balancing the values tp make it work everywhere.
We ran into issues with values of some enemies going way out of range, or not triggering at all, or triggering after they were dead, etc. We needed it to work dynamically so that when people play their custom created content the soundtrack would follow THEIR battles and THEIR adventures instead of just the pre-made campaign ones. I had to think...what if the DM threw a hundred of these guys? Or what if the battle dragged out to 20 minutes, 30 minutes?!? I think our system catches everything. I've heard SOME wonkiness in multiplayer but that stems more from networking issues than the premise here.
Thank you Audiokinetic for giving me a tool that empowers me as a developer and our players.TonyPorter SFX Design DemoReel 2016Tony Porter2016-08-23 | Quick, bit over a minute romp through some games I worked on. I'll have extended scenes from specific games available to view later, as well as Voice Over demos and integration demos.Tony Porter - 2015 Demo ReelTony Porter2016-07-23 | Been too long since I made one of these so thought I'd have my hand at it, if only for practice!

It's a piece I have been playing for years and thought it'd fit in this little abandoned tavern, crumbling and unkempt.ForkliftKiller Ibuki Vs Ant nemic OniTony Porter2016-02-17 | Cleaning up drives and I found an old SF4 matchup against Oni. So in honor of SF5...here's an SF4 match...ForkliftKiller (Ibuki) vs eckspert (Ken)Tony Porter2015-01-03 | ...Happy Year Times!Tony Porter2015-01-01 | Made in Minecraft. It is the year ending.ForkliftKiller (Ibuki) vs SFapojac (Yun)Tony Porter2014-12-15 | Yun players are typically to be feared. Somehow I managed to throw him out of his supers just long enough.Ibuki vs UrienTony Porter2014-12-15 | Was able to dazzle with constant low-high guessing on this Urien.Hugo vs IbukiTony Porter2014-12-15 | This Hugo had enough of my shiz and picked up some defense along the way,.Twelve vs IbukiTony Porter2014-12-15 | Most of the winning Twelves, play like this. They are in the air a lot and the combos come quick and dirty. Luckily, my Ibuki is in the air a lot and her SA1 takes like half of Twelve's life away.Focus Attack and Ive got Ultra?Tony Porter2014-12-08 | Folks like to charge those focus attacks to spring on opponents wake up. That's why I've kept cheap Wake Up Ultra's in my repertoire!You Left Your Mic On - MontageTony Porter2014-12-02 | Funny things heard over the mic whilst playing some street fighter. I collected fights, saved the ones with funny, random, or bizarre audio and compiled them with subtitles (or a fun guess at them) gamerpics, and evil pies.
EVIL PIES!!!
Captured with ShadowPlay and edited in Vegas. Names have been blocked except my poor Ibuki's. Streams were captured from the PC/Steam version of USF4, and if you must know I lost most of the matches here. :D
I'd love to do another montage but I need to collect more. If you have quality footage I can use, let me know and maybe I'll give it the treatment.USF4 ForkliftKiller Ibuki Vs Chun LiTony Porter2014-11-10 | Original, unedited match from the You Left Your Mic On video, Only the name has been blockedYou Left Your Mic On - Ultra Street Fighter IVTony Porter2014-11-10 | I'm not a great Street Fighter player, I've only played Ultra for a few months...maybe half a year? One method of improving is recording your matches to rewatch and observe your habits, or send to others for evaluation.
What I have noticed is the abundance of people using microphones. Not a bad thing altogether, but the amount of useful information relayed across them is virtually nil. Either you get the sound of their game echoing back at you, some kind of domestic squabble, or an absolute idiot who talks trash. Trash talking is nothing new, and it's not going away but there is a special kind of idiot who brings all their insecurities and all their paranoia to the table and then vomits those qualities all over the table.
Because I'm more of a producer than a consumer, I had to do something. So I've transcribed and subtitled, and added fun graphical embellishments to show the real story of what went on and to highlight a great doofus. Even as such, this is exactly how the match happened with no time altering or editing to hide any supposed "lag-cheating" I was being accused of.
If I captured from a replay, it would have omitted all moments of lag. I have on the other hand highlighted each individual frame where the lag occurred and added a fun graphical glitch for identification and high enjoyment. I believe my connection to be more than sufficient and thrust the majority of the poor net performance on the current status of Street Fighter on Steam post GFWL conversion.
You're always going to find players who look for anything to blame or be paranoid about. This makes for horrible winners and sore losers and is a key reason why beginners are afraid of this kind of game, which is a shame because I remember we all were beginners at some point. But, we've always had bad sportsmanlike behavior.
This guy is probably a lot better than me as evidenced by some of his play and I guess his ranking. He asked about my score "PP" and "BP". I have a low "PP" because I lose a lot still. I play higher ranked players in the hopes I learn from the match which means I get to lose more than anything and therefore a lower PP (overall) and a much higher BP (points with that character, Ibuki, which is the only one I use.)
If you have simliar matches and you have recorded them with high enough quality, send them to me and maybe I'll gussy that one up next. Otherwise I've got a few more I'll be tackling when I wrangle more time out of my schedule.
Have at ya.USF4: ForkliftKiller (Ibuki) Vs #4 ElenaTony Porter2014-10-15 | Nother Mensa champion on the mic. He started early on in and started the trollin during character select. Either he was super high ranked or just some idiot with a mic...turns out you can be both. Sometimes funny, but a one-note bit that ran its course very quickly and probably cost him the second round.USF4: ForkliftKiller (Ibuki) Vs DBD (T.Hawk)Tony Porter2014-10-15 | There have been some good T.Hawks out there recently. And while I'm still learning Ibuki, her very basic attacks and proper placement do more damage than they should with the proper timing and speed.USF4: ForkliftKiller (Ibuki) Vs Quezacotl (Cody)Tony Porter2014-10-15 | After only a few months I'm getting better, but not really good enough for any serious level of competition. So I think I annoy high ranked players like this Cody who embarrassed me in the first round. Second round he kept at me with repetitive normal attacks. Third round...I think I caught him off guard. This is the first day of the new netcode patch. Ok so far, though this match has one good spike in the middle which has us mashing normals until it recedes. Note, the Cody player stops attacking but doesn't back off during this...ok.USF4: ForkliftKiller (Ibuki) Vs PhilipSAMA (Decapre)Tony Porter2014-10-11 | I played pretty horribly. I felt like a goon with the moves I was doing and kept redoing and redoing...ach. I need to be better than this :P. PhilipSAMA kept dropping air grabs and other combos so I capitalized of course. 2 out of 3 is legit,right? :(USF4: ForkliftKiller (Ibuki) Vs Bauwoo (Honda)Tony Porter2014-10-08 | Got to play the 2nd ranked Honda and I think it was a decent match. They probably have enough data on me to waste me on a rematch, but it was pretty dang close!USF4: ForkliftKiller (Ibuki) Vs Desmaster (Abel)Tony Porter2014-10-07 | The match was laggy, but not horrible. You'll notice a few twitches here and there. This guy seemed to run out of steam, or realized a basic player was beating him with basic stuff and just kinda threw his hands up. Dunno.
