I have a question; are we allowed to show our arrangement to others for critique before submission?

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

I'd imagine that wouldn't be a bad idea or something anyone would go against.

The melody is essential to knowing what the original was and being able to establish that connection. A motif is much harder to do so because it's much shorter than most melodic material and can be taken from multiple sources (ike if it is the ground work for a couple of themes from the same game.) My answer would be reworking to melody alone is perfectly fine, but just one motif from a greater theme is not nearly enough to establish the original and understand what exactly you changed.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

Whatever-I'm doing a short song anyway(the original song being 32 seconds long), so I dont think it's that big of a deal.

Yup, the contest is still running!

Perhaps we should have sign-ups next time. At least we can get an estimate of how many contestants there are going to be...
Looks like there will be little competition for the prize this time. The judges are happy, at least.

Yes, I'm still around from time to time. For quicker response, you can reach me by PM, or drop by Smogon to say hi. I go by "Codraroll" there, because of a bet.

Kind of off-topic, but has the description for the music thread always been just a "?" ?  lol.

Wow. Talk about inverting the mood! It sounds like it belongs in Kirby's Epic Yarn! (This is coming from a judge!)
Unfortunately, not very playable when it comes to piano. Can you adjust that?

MaestroUGC

No he can not, if he submitted it then that version is final.

Anyway, could you edit your submission post with a link to the original song? The one you used as a basis for your arrangement? Thanks in advance!
