Battle That! Battle That! Competition - September 10-13, 2025

[Iron Keys]

I agree, but like I said, shit happens. He messaged me that he couldn't make it but by then it was too late for me pick someone else. Besides, that would suck to have to hit up someone else like "Hey, you didn't make it but if you still want to enter anyway". That's why so many times in previous Battle Thats we've had this issue. I think a couple of times we even had byes!

Then they should just have to take the hit.

Or change signup so that people are locked in with 4 beats, or you got reserves.

I just found R2 and R3 incredibly easy to vote on.

actually it was not difficult R3 for me too. Not for the quality of beatmaking, I guess, just some styles that fit my taste more than others.

Think there's a lot of quality differences too. Though one of my favorite beats this whole battle didn't have the greatest of mixes.

 

[attila]

Maybe, anyway I voted with taste. If your fav beat has a bad mix it could be mine! Craving for your approval!

I've got an idea of who I think it is but I don't know.

I'll give a free mix for anyone who guesses it correctly in 1 attempt in the next 3 hours.

Was probably mine lol

yeah, I don't think really was mine, it was just that the mix was not very good But you usually provide good mixes so maybe it's someone else...

Yeah the only thing I can think of is to require everyone to upload all 4 beats at the signup stage.

 

[K-waz]

why have four beats when you can beat anyone with just one beat. That's how I know no one really listening to anyone beat fully. @Iron Keys had to cry about it for anyone to notice

 

[Fade]

On the other hand, it's impossible to force everyone to upload all 4 beats at signup. Someone could just upload 1 or 2 and stop. So the bottom line is there's no way to really get around it. I've actually seen people upload a beat for rounds 1, 2, and 4 and I had no choice but to use their round 2 beat for round 3 lol.

The only solution would be to make it so that you upload one beat for all 4 rounds. That basically solves it then.

The only thing I can think of is:

1. Keep signups open for a longer period.
2. Once you have get the email, you have X amount of days to respond, via email, with your beats and round selection.
3. Should you miss the deadline. You go to contestant #17 and ask for their 4 beats in 48 hours or something.

I think even at that point if people can’t get their beats together, it’s almost more fair to those who do, to benefit from a bye.

Again, just a thought. I recognize it’s more work for you, and there may be a level of unfairness as the original 16 technically don’t have as much time to prep, or contestant #17 now has to scramble.

1. The signups are 2 days right now.
2. The uploads are 4 days!!!
3. That's what I did on the last day of the uploads.

I thought about doing the bye but then that's not fair to everyone else. I only set a bye if there's not enough contestants, so that's why to avoid that I use the signup beat.

I think the only workaround is like I mentioned - to have 1 beat only. But that takes the fun out of the whole thing.

 

[Earsblower]

We all have old ass beats lying somewhere... So why this person didn't upload any random shit ? Can't make it because both your hands got cut off? Well... make it work.

My 2 cents.

 

[BiggChev]

@Fade - totally understand.

There are always going to be anomalies and I think what you decided had positive intent.

Appreciate all the work and effort you put into the site and organizing these battles!

 

[Kane the MOD]

I think too many people talk shit here instead of starting beat fights with the unused beats.

On a serious note I think there is no need for big changes. But I'd rather be the No. 17 contestant that you tell that he didn't make the cut but he can join if anyone cannot upload the 4 beats. Just my 2 cents.
