Talk:King for Another Day Tournament/@comment-71.255.115.73-20190918035434

Heads up y'all, here's something I don't think anyone's talking about. And that is

Duplicate Sources/Jokes

I know how last tournament pretty much everybody remembered that Thanos and Reggies BOTH had Fortnite rips due to the fact that like 75% of all of Thanos' mixes from that tournament and like 25% of Reggie's had references to Fortnite or songs about it as melodies in them.

Well I decided to catalog every duplicate source so far pre-Direct that I personally am aware of, just as an attempt to kind of show off some of the unexpected things some of the contestants may have up their sleeves (or lack thereof). Please feel free to add onto it if you think of anything as I know my list won't be perfect, but I'm trying my best to find ANY possible shared jokes, and I expect this link to only expand after the Direct. [Reggie will ONLY be using Etika's source list for now until his partner is revealed, hopefully in the Direct.]

Kingdom Hearts - Both Geno and possibly Thanos if his Mickey hat is any indication at this point in time, we'll see once his source list is revealed

Xenoblade Chronicles - Geno and Reggie (Yoko Shimomura also composed for this series, but only the first game, not X or 2.)

Touhou - ZUN and Nico Nico (holy moly The SiIva team really didn't think about the SHEER popularity of Touhou on Nico Nico Douga before they put Nico Nico in didn't they? From skits to animations, to MMD stuff and of course, MADs and remixes, Touhou is INSANELY popular over there, so it's pretty much a given that no matter which you pick, you're still getting 2hu. U.N. Owen Was Her?, Night of Nights, Flowering Nights and of course Bad Apple are all very popular MAD sources, in fact I'm sure Ronald McDonald Night of Nights MADs reposted to YouTube was a BIG part of HyperCam's era, and in fact Nico Nico's actually kind of responsible for starting the whole YTPMV craze over here in the 2000s that Unregistered HyperCam 2's era is so well known for in the first place. [including all those Sparta remixes >3>])

TRON: Legacy - Thanos and Daft Punk (Daft Punk actually did the soundtrack for this Disney movie and in fact even cameoed in it.)

Gin Tama - DJ Professor K and Piccolo (Hideki Naganuma actually created the version of Fuusen Gum used for the first ending theme of the 2006 version of Gintama.)

LUV CAN SAVE U - DJ Professor K and Rhythm Masters (The sole track contributed by Hideki Naganuma to the beatmania series.)

WAR OF BRAINS - DJ Professor K and Nico Nico (Naganuma made the song FEEL the POWER in YOUR SOUL for this game, and considering as how it's basically just aniem Hearthstone it seems to have a decent following on Nico Nico Douga.)

Gourmet Race & Masked Dedede - King Dedede and Nico Nico (Both VERY popular songs for MADs from my understanding)

Ebb & Flow - Off the Hook, Paruko and DJ Professor K (Turns out that before Marina's Ebb & Flow in Splatoon 2, Naganuma had actually made a song by the exact same name 17 years eariler in an obsure horse racing game for the Dreamcast. Fully expect bait-and-switches with the two in the the future, or even mashups, who knows, I haven't listened to the latter yet.)

Ikachan - Off the Hook and Quote (Squid-centered game, even if that isn't one of their main jokes.)

Milo Murphy's Law - Weird Al and Thanos probably, judging by his hat (Spin-off of Phineas and Ferb on the Disney Channel with Al voicing the main character and also composing the theme song. Al also included Fireflies in his medley Polka Face, but that was already pointed out last tournament in one of his win screens.)

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Weird Al and Dr. Robotnik

anything by Jan Lewan - Weird Al and Jack Black (Jack starred in a biography called The Polka King about Jan, a polka band leader who also did a Ponzi scheme, sounds like a hoot.)

Al's many food oriented parodies - Weird Al and HOBaRT

Alcohol - Pitbull and Pharrell Williams (In addition to the two alcoholics we already know about, Pharrell made a song called Sangria Wine featuring singer Camila Cabello, however since it's a salsa pop song with the lyrics both in Spanish [Camila] and English [both], not only that he also also appeared in the song Margarita by Sleepy Brown along with some dude named Big Boi, however there is a direct connection in that Pharrell and Pitbull actually did record a song together, Blanco, but it was only for the soundtrack of Fast & Furious.)

Tokyo Mirage Sessions - The Joy-Con Men and the Jack Bros. (Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is a crossover between Atlus' flapship franchise, Shin Megami Tensei, and Etika's favorite waifu-ridden series, Fire Emblem. Plus it's now on Switch and Reggie was mentioned to have a Switch themed tie this time around so it works for both.)

Money Longer - Men in Black and Mr. Krabs

Mazinger Z - Ajit Pai and Dr. Piccolo

Xenoblade Chronicles X - Metal Ajit Pai and Reggie Fils-Amie (The Skell are basically giant mechs, and are the main focal point of this particular game.)

classic indie puzzle games - Quote and Papyrus (can't think of many off of my head, but Braid kind of is, then there's the stuff that originated on Newgrounds like Riddle School and flash games like Hot Air and Portal: The Flash Version)

Ben 10 - Johnny Bravo and most likely the Men in Black, as ONE of the two teams they split into has to keep the Dancing Alien Team's old source of 'general alien rips' and of the two Howard's side seems more likely as it seems the other two are going with a more Latin centered vibe in their team-up with Pitbull.

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack - Johnny Bravo and Mr. Krabs (I don't know if Flapjack ever had a video game though, still there is Captain Stickybeard from Kids Next Door, which I know for a fact has had games about it. Still ironic that Johnny and Krabs have a connection though considering they're famous characters from rival companies. [pretty sure we'll get some interactions from the two referencing that as well.])

Simple and Clean - Mariya Takeuchi, Geno & Thanos (in addition to the previous Kingdom Hearts connection, turns out that Tatsuo Yamashita made an album in 2011 named Ray of Hope, and since -Ray of Hope MIX- is one of the multiple incarnations of Simple and Clean, expect some sort of joke setup using that)

Turner no Kikansha - Mariya and Piccolo (name translates to Turner's Steamroller, what a wonderful JoJoke)

Puyo Puyo - Dr. Robotnik and Papyrus

Get Lucky - Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams & "Weird Al" Yankovic (One of Al's numerous polka medleys, NOW That's What I Call Polka! included a short parody of this song. The exact same medley also contained a parody of Timber by Pitball ft. K$sha, but that was already pointed out last tournament in the two's vs. screen and thus not included here. Said medley also included Thrift Shop by Macklemore, giving Al a link to Krabs as well. And there's also Tacky, Al's parody of Happy, by of course, Arby's Hat Man himself.)

Dr. Mario - Papyrus and Piccolo

Mars Attacks! & Enemy of the State - Jack Black and the Men in Black (nice rhyming pairup of movie references Jack was in for Howard and Will respectively, turns out Jack was also on an episode of The X-Files)

Trauma Center - Dr. Piccolo and the Jack Bros.

Armored Police Metal Jack - Jack Bros. and Ajit Pai (Old mecha TV show Atlus made a game about for the Super Famicom before Jack Bros.)

Thousand Arms - Jack Bros. and Papyrus (RPG with a heavy emphasis on dating girls, considering the date Papyrus takes you on, that kind of means dating games actually can be expected from Pap as well. [insert Knuckles soundbite here])

My Disney Kitchen - Jack Bros. and Thanos (A game Atlus made for the original PlayStation............ apparently!?!? ._.)

Casino - Jack Bros. and Mr. Krabs (Atlus made a mobile game about gambling only for Japanese phones.)

Spud's Adventure (and it's sequel Amazing Tater) - HOBaRT and the Jack Bros. (Old game Atlus made in 1991 about well... potatoes.)

RED ZONE, Brain Power and others - Rhythm Masters and Nico Nico (yeaaahhh RED ZONE MADs are heavily popular and in fact beatmania and osu! in general are hot spots for remixes and gameplay attempts on NND. Pretty obvious one really.)

Anything made by IOSYS - Nico Nico and ZUN (while I already talked about NND's massive love of Touhou eariler, it's this group that makes a lot of the most popular remixes on Nico Nico Douga and a lot of them revolve around Touhou like Cirno's Perfect Math Class, Marisa Stole the Precious Thing, Overdrive, Nuclear Fusion, and so on, but they have made remixes of other games too including Etrian Odyssey, thus linking them to Jack Bros. as well.)

A lot of anime - Nico Nico and Piccolo/Ajit Pai (anime in general is very obviously popular on Nico Nico Douga, and thus many MADs are made about it... although that's kind of expected really.)

Heading off to bed now, spent like two hours researching some of the characters sources on Wikipedia, KnowYourMeme and Google, please continue when and if you like, but I'll be going to bed after this. Pretty sure I've earned it, bee wanting to do this for a real long time.
