Tune for Tuesday for Week of 10/29/2024: "Down the Rabbit Hole" by Carlos Eiene & Darren Malley

This week's Tune for Tuesday, "Down the Rabbit Hole" by Carlos Eiene & Darren Malley, is a jazzy little number used as the theme for a character and her stage in Skullgirls. The series has had an insane number of ups and downs over the years, but between the characters, artstyle, music, and overall presentation, I'm happy it's stuck around. And since Skullgirls is pretty much one of the closest things we have to a Darkstalkers spiritual successor, it seemed like a fitting way to end off October. Have a Happy Halloween this Thursday, everyone!

Tune for Tuesday for Week of 4/28/2015: “Moonlit Melee” by Michiru Yamane

This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “Moonlit Melee” by Michiru Yamane, was selected for several reasons. First of all, I’ve been playing a great deal of Skullgirls recently. Though as with a majority of 2D fighting games, I’m not very good at playing it by any means, as with the Darkstalkers and BlazBlue franchises, I easily managed to find enough amazing aspects to enjoy it immensely, with or without any actual skill. Second, I find the name of the piece fitting given my constant evening struggles against the tyranny of school work as of late. Seriously, it’s been far too long since I actually got a good night’s sleep, or even any length of sleep that could be considered even remotely restful. But, most of all, I just love how the song sounds!
