Was looking at rips and I realized something interesting about MissingNo.'s.

MissingNo.'s source specifically says, to quote "Rips featuring music associated with gaming creepypastas" however

Some of MissingNo.'s rips don't actually fit in this category for x reason, allow me to explain.

Most glaring is MisSaNo.Nara, which was ripped despite Hinchy I believe or someone on the SiIvaCord EXPLICTLY stating Doki Doki was pretty much banned from the tournament. That's excused though since it still fits MissingNo.'s source list, and even then the only song, much like Papyrus ONLY getting Undertale songs specifically related to him, MissingNo. ONLY gets DDLC songs that ONLY play during glitchy sections and nowhere else in the game due to it's limited soundtrack and heavy reusage of songs in different keys, contexts or forms, thus since Sayo-Nara ONLY plays during a particularly infamous scene in the game, it and it only is valid.

but the other two

Even Care / Work Zone. While it's not a bad rip by any means it's technically kind of straying from the "creepypasta" rule. Yes, while Petscop's framing device IS a commonly used gaming creepypasta trope (old lost abandoned game "found" by someone who then plays it and posts about it on the internet leading to a seemingly innocent game to become darker and darker tl;dr BEN DROWNED, NES Godzilla creepypasta, I Hate You/mario.exe) it's not actually a creepypasta, and isn't counted as one, as a search in Google will show. It shows up as an ARG and on some Lost Games wikis, but it's never considered a creepypasta, both KnowYourMeme and TV Tropes consider it a web series, which is correct. However it's kind of a case of the vague "whatever fits the tone" rule stated on the SiIvaCord, and considering how much Petscop obeys and follows the tropes and storyline of other video-based retro gaming creepypastas like BEN or RED's respective tales, it's excusable to be considered one even though it isn't.

A little LESS excusable however is Red Mist. While a geniunely terrifying rip fitting MissingNo. Red Mist isn't really a GAMING creepypasta in any sense of the word, instead being a classic example of the "lost episode" genre of creepypasta and using many ̸h̸y̸p̵e̶r̶ ̷r̸e̴a̶l̸i̴s̸t̴i̷c̴ ̵tropes commonly used now by people attempting to write cartoon creepypastas (for better or for worse), it doesn't fit MissingNo.'s criteria and while, yes this was a fusion rip with Krabs thus giving MissingNo. access to SpongeBob, I feel like if it had been bitcrushed into the soundfont of one of the eariler SpongeBob games like say Legend of the Golden Spatula or SuperSponge! would have not only allowed a better crossover between sources but also made the sound effects like the sobbing and gunshot MUCH more creepier, for some reasongiving things that are already creepy poor sound quality makes them even creepier, with P.T., Imscared and even Petscop all being very good examples. (would HIGHLY recommend watching a playthrough of Imscared: A Pixelated Nightmare, it was one of the MASTERS of using shitty graphics and sound quality to great effect way before the first Petscop video [2017, Imscared released in 2004], not to mentio n it's maIn m echAn iC o48 49 48 48 48 49 49 48 32 48 48 49 48 48 48 48 48 32 48 49 48 49 48 49 48 49 32 48 49 48 48 49 49 49 48https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIpWOUAqrz4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIpWOUAqrz4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIpWOUAqrz4
