December!! Christmas times!! The holidays!! Wahoo!!

There's of course always a lot of excitement in the air during December, even if its...largely manufactured by big companies. Yet ever since 2016, I've had far more of a personal attachment to the month - the end of SiIvaGunner Season 1, and the beginning of Season 2, was some of the most engrossed I've ever been engrossed with a piece of media - and it was all punctuated with the Patched Plains Fusion Collab.

It may be hard to truly convey to newer SiIva viewers just how suspenseful and strange the month of October was during 2016. For all intents and purposes, the channel appeared to have truly ENDED with Epic Flintstones, and everything that led up to its release just further cemented that. We'd gotten behind-the-scenes reveals of unresolved content, some of the channel's biggest projects and collaborations up to that point, a huge amount of new albums within such a short amount of time...there was very little to suggest that SiIva wouldn't actually be ending. Yet viewers paying attention would be able to connect the dots, these small little hints dropped during the finale, all connected to "Wood Man" - and mind you, this was before he was even established as a character on the channel!

Just a few days after the official ending, as SiIva had gone to sleep and the channel had been avoiding uploads for so long - uploads suddenly returned, as this "Wood Man" character became the new host at the start of November. This wasn't the first time a story event had been happening on SiIva, yet it was one that left us as viewers confused and in the dark of what was truly happening, due to the lack of a proper narrator. After just two weeks and an album release, halfway through the month, uploads suddenly ceased and the channel went dark. So...was the channel actually dead? Was this just a little bonus Halloween thing, to let the team play around with Wood Man as a character in an epilogue to the actual channel?

Turns out, it was all build-up to December - to the Christmas Comeback Crisis. The channel ending, the virus in his computer, the Voice Inside Your Head, Wood Man - it was all revealed to be part of this all new ongoing storyline, presented to us in full-on episodes during the month of December. Like a light switch turned on, the confusion and uncertainty of November turned into full-on celebration of SiIva's seemingly-now-confirmed return to regular uploading. This was the start of Season 2 - and it was, in my eyes, an absolutely perfect premiere.

I really want to go more in-depth on this someday, but I'll circle back to Patched Plains Fusion Collab to round the story out - because really, it was this rip that really cemented Season 2 as having officially begun, halfway through December 2016. It had been a month since Wood Man's sudden leave from the channel, and out of nowhere we're given an animated prologue to this all-new Christmas-themed storyline, directly based on Kirby: Planet Robobot from earlier that year. And after that sudden gut punch, we're treated to an absolute feast for the ears - a red-carpet introduction to the sort of quality we were about to experience. Kirby: Planet Robobot already had a heavy presence on SiIva due to The Reboot, and so starting this big new story event off with another rip from that same game felt like a sort of reassurance - this wasn't a bit, or a side story, or anything of the sort, but the full next step of the SiIvaGunner channel.

As a rip, it's frankly excellent - it has all the quality of the average Fusion Collab on the channel condensed down to just two minutes, covering everything from different genres of music, different games, different time signatures, and everything inbetween - a remix collaboration in the purest sense of the word, and an absolute treat to listen to. A big benefit to fusion collabs of this nature is that you're able to very clearly identify who is responsible for what parts of the rip - Princess Sylvyspirit's involvement is immediately noticeable as soon as the Touhou segment begins, Chaze's affection for MOTHER 3 is expressed through his part in the collaboration, and so on!

Despite the song only having a brief segment on Christmas near the beginning, the spirit is absolutely there throughout all of Patched Plains Fusion Collab - its a celebration of what was to come, a joyous theme that let all of its collaborators truly show their stuff at the start of this new age for the channel. And its a rip that I often come back to just for that sheer nostalgia alone.

Respect Your Elders (20X-Mix)

Season 1 Featured on: GilvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 1

Ripped by turdl3

We're going back to Season 1 for this one for another pretty hyper-specific joke - one related to the competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee community. Things have simmered down a bit now with Ultimate taking the main stage in terms of competitive play, but back around 2013-2016, Melee was THE Smash Bros. game where everything was happening. The era of the five gods, the god-slayer Leffen, and a renewed time in the spotlight due to EVO 2013 and 2014...Melee lore is super fun to learn of, and all of its eccentric personalities make it an extremely interesting sport to follow.

Of all that's happened in Melee's history, be it the Wombo Combo, Hungrybox's popoffs, Amsa's Yoshi singlehandedly redefining the character...The Salty Suite moneymatch between Leffen and ChillinDude still just feels fucking legendary.

There is so much that happened during and leading up to just that match, and the fallout of it, that people have made full-on video essays on the topic. The TLDR is that Leffen, an at the time recent and insanely good player with a mean attitude, accused the player Chillindude of being a bygone player with no chance in the current game. Their beef escalated and resulted in a moneymatch between the two where Leffen won 5-0 while laughing like a madman between every game. What made all this funnier was that Chillindude, weeks before the game commenced, produced a Diss Track with he himself rapping called "Respect Your Elders". This track and the context surrounding it have become absolute legends in Melee, and its this track that's used for today's rip.

With that context provided, Respect Your Elders (20X-Mix) speaks for itself - its the original song mixed to the instrumental backing of Final Destination from Melee, althewhile having various audio samples of Fox from Melee play to add flavor to every moment. At the time of the rip's upload, the legendary Salty Suite match was still fresh in many fans' minds, and people went absolutely insane in the comments and online: This was one of the first "big" rips I got to see on SiIva in its infancy, and it still holds up remarkably well.

Battle Theme - Zeno Blade Chronicle X

Season 1 Featured on: GilvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 7

Ripped by turdl3

A lot of the time I spend on here is dedicated to explaining things in SiIvaGunner's history that I feel like I have a good grasp of. That is part of the intent with the blog - both to highlight noteworthy rips to people already deep in the sauce, but also to try and convey to people outside of the bubble, more casual fans, just how fascinating this whole channel and its goings-on are. But even though I consider myself to be very well researched on the channel, there are still times I'm caught off guard: I still don't know what to make of He is Back., I was taken aback by everything I'd missed in regards to waterwraith pokos, and rips like If Pazuzu Sneezes Do You Still Say Bless You? have sent me down little detective hunts for parts of internet history I'd entirely missed. But even amidst these, Battle Theme - Zeno Blade Chronicle X still sort of sticks out in my mind - because I've been baffled by it ever since I found SiIvaGunner back in Season 1.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is a game with a lot of history on SiIvaGunner, most evidently due to its lead composer, Hiroyuki Sawano. Channel oldhead dante has been taking cues from his incredibly distinct style of music for a majority of the Christmas Comeback Crisis' soundtrack, such as with 9​来​4s, and several rippers have followed suit from Season 1 and beyond with rips such as Kill & Learn (Recut Ver​.​). Xenoblade Chronicles X was just one more game to rip Sawano's music through - yet, as you might have already noticed, Battle Theme - Zeno Blade Chronicle X *isn't* using Xenoblade Chronicles X. "Zeno Blade Chronicle X" is a fake game, of which we see plenty of today, but back in March 2016 it was an odd one out. Just two months into the GiIvaSunner channel's life, it was (to my knowledge!) the first time that all the pretense of a rip being of actual video game music was dropped. Its unfortunate that the original comments section was lost with the GiIvaSunner termination, but I'm certain it was gleaming with confusion even back then.

But like...what *is* Zeno Blade Chronicle X? The joke died out within Season 1 after just three rips, and since then it's only been referenced within Season 3's nostalgia week and Season 7's April Fools day event that I covered yesterday with Our Sweet Pastry. The three rips made during Season 1, and the Season 3 throwback rip, all follow the same joke - arranging music from Xenoblade Chronicles X in the style of...EarthBound, of all games? I suppose there's a lot of context here I'm missing out - perhaps its a sly jab at ROMhacks such as the EarthBound Halloween Hack that Toby Fox made before Undertale, perhaps its poking fun at the many mediocre "(song) but in SNES instruments!!" arrangements that are all the rage especially nowadays...or perhaps EarthBound in particular just has such a strange sound to it, one so unbefitting of the tone of Hiroyuki Sawano's music, that it sounds very funny arranged in that style?

Either way, its what gave us Battle Theme - Zeno Blade Chronicle X, and through all of my confusion and feeling as if I'm not getting the joke, it is still REALLY funny in isolation. The thumbnail's abhorrent crunchiness, the "Megalovania" guitars contrasting so harshly with the bleep-bloopy main melody instrument, the harsh cymbal crash that stays throughout the song as a layer of percussion - it sounds like its falling apart on itself throughout the whole thing, yet carries itself through the entire battle theme in an oddly charming way. I mean, the lead instrument sounds kind of similar to the one used in Collision Clouds, there's something so oddly charming about that particular form of melody! There's so many reasons why the Zeno Blade Chronicle X rips have stuck in my mind, but its mainly just that I'm puzzled by them...like, are they meant to be rough around the edges, or is that just due to their Season 1-ness? Are they poking fun at anything in particular? What led to this becoming popular enough with the team for them to officially begin ripping Fake Games just two months in?

All those thoughts race through my mind every time I'm reminded of Battle Theme - Zeno Blade Chronicle X - all the while I'm banging out to the tune itself. Xenoblade Chronicles X's Battle Theme itself is already fantastic, and this silly goofy take on it keeps that spirit underneath all of its crust, preserving the game's legacy in the strangest of ways. This is one mystery that I don't know if I'll ever truly *wholly* understand (though I'm sure making this post will lead me on the right path at least!) but it, at the same time, embodies so much of the fun of Season 1's unpredictability! None of us watching ever knew what to expect from the channel, and I'm sure nobody watching had "SNES Bootleg of Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U" on their Bingo card. That unpredictability was so novel then, and still lives on today - and in some ways, it all reached its first new high with Battle Theme - Zeno Blade Chronicle X.

Hoopache (shoutouts to the comments section)

Season 1 Featured on: GilvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 6.66

Ripped by turdl3

I really don't want to give off the wrong impression on my thoughts on Season 1, which I worry I might've in my last post from the Season. Its certainly a mixed bag, where a lot of its hits are simple concepts executed well, but its absolutely no stranger to rip concepts that had no reason being attempted yet work out tremendously. Not only does Hoopache fall into that category, but it was made in the channel's FIRST THREE MONTHS, with no remastering done to uphold its excellence on reuploads.

If you've hit play on the rip already, you can probably hear what we're working with here: The butt of all mashup jokes, Space Jam, applied to Heartache from Undertale. What made this Space Jam mashup so compelling back in the day wasn't just the combination of two songs, but of two wholly different time signatures: Space Jam is such a popular choice for mashups in large parts to its memorable percussion and its extremely standard time signature of 4/4, wheras a song like Heartache operate on something closer to 6/8ths. This was not a simple drag-and-drop process - turdl3 had to carefully adjust the beats and timings of Space Jam's backing to make it fit naturally with every 4th beat of it being cut off, without making it sound like it was getting cut off.

Though turdl3 is still on the SiIva team, its undeniable that his biggest impact on the channel was during these EARLY-early days. Several of his rips are shockingly creative for being so early on in the channel, experimenting with jokes that wouldn't end up becoming recurring or trying bizarrely high-effort concepts such as Hoopache itself. And yeah, his effort absolutely paid off: Though it has its detractors that just can't get over the odd time signature mix, its an excellent example of just how dedicated SiIva's ripping team has always been to quality. I'll save deconstructing the fun factor and enjoyability of Space Jam for a later date, so for now, sit back and enjoy the slam.

The SiIvaGunner Smurfs Collab

Season 1 Featured on: GilvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 7 Also on: The SiIvaGunner YTPMV Collab (Eek​!​)​.​veg

Ripped by omknee, Cryptrik, Nape Mango, Jab50Yen, toonlink, Gurchik, beat_shobon, ricesnot, NBGMusic, Chaze the Chat, KinkyOats, Robyn, Sexual Omochao (Triple-Q), MtH, turdl3, Tainic

(apologies for the mildly scuffed formatting - posting this from mobile, will edit as soon as possible)

Hey, look, I KNOW I just covered another Season 1 ending rip recently with Memey Hill Zone, but I promise this'll be the last one I do for a while. The final two months of Season 1 were a magical time for both us in the audience and those making the rips - a time to truly go all-out and end the channel with a bang.

The SiIvaGunner Smurfs Collab is exactly what it says on the tin - a YTPMV collab of a song from the NES game "The Smurfs". I distinctly remember skimming past this video on its original upload date due to having zero attachments to the Smurfs IP back in 2016, which was a huge mistake on my part. Much like Viva la Robocop, this is a game which is most fondly remembered for its shockingly dense and layered 8-bit soundscape, and this rip effectively serves as one giant tribute to it by over a dozen rippers. A lot of other immensely high-effort rips were also part of the Season 1 ending, but few speak to me as much as a full-charge group effort as this - and its a damn treat to listen to.

Now that I know at least some things about almost all the people involved with this collab, its an immensely fun listen to try and find who did what part - there's a very distinct personality injected into each piece of the collab, by the jokes picked and their execution in the rip as a whole. It helps of course that The Swamps Act 03 is a fantastic piece of music - the source track keeps playing as a base throughout many segments and keeps the entire track fresh thoughout its 3 minute runtime.

A lot of collabs on SiIva understandably push their length due to the amount of people and sources involved - which is always damn impressive and a pleasure to listen to. Yet I find it very refreshing to get these kinds of collab inbetween it all, with a pace and amount of collaborators steady enough to fit in as a more standard rip in a playlist.

Take You To The Desert

Season 3 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips Volume A

Ripped by Chaze the Chat

Hi, so, uh, full disclaimer - I HAD a post almost done and ready to go for today (or TONIGHT, rather), but then I got very distracted by watching the amazing YouTube premiere of the MAGFest Rave, had the fucking time of my life screaming my head off in the SiIvaGunner Discord, and now I've suddenly been informed that I've almost missed Sean Kingston's birthday! Sean Kingston! You know the guy - from Crazy Noisy Beautiful Girls, from Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston, from the 11th episode of the SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis? Yet for all that I've talked about him in those two posts, it still kind of feels like I've only barely scratched the surface - and with the scoops I only just got from SiIvaCord, I felt basically forced to properly honor Kingston's legacy today.

Before his unfortunate and absolutely-real-no-kidding Jetski accident, Sean Kingston made waves in the late 2000s with his breakout single Beautiful Girls - the kind of song that you only SOMEWHAT become annoyed by from its overexposure on the radio. After team member turdl3 of Hoopache fame singled it out as his number-one most disliked pop song of the 2000s, the SiIvaGunner team did what they did best and decided to turn that distaste into a running joke, posting more and more Kingston as part of the bit - before it reached Chaze the Chat's ears.

I can't help but assume that there was some sort of neural overlap across ´his prior obsession with Maroon 5 and Sean Kingston, but Chaze the Chat reportedly wound becoming absolutely obsessed with posting about the song and its various follow-ups. Did you know he made three separate mashup albums dedicated to shitposting about the guy?

Its something I've talked about in many Maroon 5-themed posts on here such as Sunday Morning, but even when I'm not able to be in on the joke there's just something so endearing about seeing rips be made out of such strangely specific yet evidently passionate interests - which, in turn, brings us to Season 3's Sean Kingston Day, and Take You To The Desert. Turdl3 was reportedly not alone in disliking Beautiful Girls, and the song had effectively no presence on SiIvaGunner whatsoever in its first two years of running - yet somehow, Sean Kingston Day got to occur, and the sheer shock of it all has stuck with me since even back when. It wasn't something absurdly random like Chain of Memories II Day back with Simple and Clean (Psi Mix), nor was it seemingly part of any ongoing lore developments, nor did it feel like a long-running joke on the channel that I'd simply failed to be invited to - everyone else in the YouTube comments were just as befuddled as I was as to what led to the sudden takeover. Hell, I hadn't even *heard* Beautiful Girls until that day!

And yet, I fucking loved it.

From an honest point of view, Take You To The Desert is a pretty simple mashup between two already-good songs. Yet with all that context of Sean Kingston's presence on the channel, his development as a borderline forced inside joke and sudden takeover for a day, and most importantly Chaze the Chat's bizarre affection for the guy, it turns into something more. Just the simple fact alone that the rip uses Take You There rather than his prior discussed debut single kind of speaks volume to how deep in the trenches Chaze the Chat was in regards to this event - an event that, really, he was the main driving force behind even getting done to begin with. And though it caught us all of guard, I do believe there were many viewers just like me back then - who through the repeated exposure of the day became unironic Sean Kingston enjoyers. And hey - Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston is only one of the many dozens of rips made since Sean Kingston day to continue upholding the Kingston legacy, even as the hype around the in-joke as completely passed

Bizarre, catchy, ironic, unironic, Jetski driver or pop sensation - Sean Kingston is many things, yet for the six years I've known of his existence I've never been able to see him as anything but a SiIvaGunner joke. But when its one that Chaze the Chat believed in so fucking hard, one that gave us absolute bangers like Take You To The Desert, I can't find it in me to see that as a bad thing. Because with or without prior knowledge, the passion of those who ripped his music showed me why it was worth caring about.

Happy Birthday, Sean Kingston.
