Lol, well my youtube channel is Basssurge - I had made the youtube before I really started using WherewolfTherwolf as a common name for different things.
K on to actually rating Hntur:
Well all the pieces definitely work, there is no question to whether or not he knows how to make something that sounds good. The only thing is, listening to many of his pieces - it's pretty easy to pick out an exact theme from an actual game that it was based around - when you hear some his work, you keep thinking to yourself "I know I've heard something that sounds pretty much the same before...." even on his fan made pieces (the non-remixes). I guess I'm trying to say that it's not necessarily Hntur's style you're hearing, it's pokemon - a very close work to try and replicate the actual game sound. Of course depending on your interpretation that could be a good thing, but imo you're sacrificing your own musical identity to try and be someone else. I'm not saying don't remix pokemon songs or anything like that, I'm just saying try to have your own style that you adapt the pieces to, not adapt yourself to the pieces (I think you're Rival Battle re-remix expresses this well - it's identifiable as the original piece, but it's not so similar that you have a hard time telling if it's a remix or not). You should also try and make some of your own, original pieces that are exempt from specific video games period, try seeing what you can make outside the constrains of the style of a video game. Really I guess summing my up my overall review would be that I think you should try and vary yourself more, try going places you haven't gone before with music.
I'd say around 82%
Hmmm I'll have to think about who to nominate (at least I got to rating this time before the end like I always seem to do)

I'm going with a lower rating than I expect most people to give, but not because I like Hunter less (I'm a huge fan, in fact) but because of my personal rating scale explained in LD's rating.
so I'd say around... 78%
I'd have to agree with werewolf here about being yourself musically, but I wouldn't say it to the extent he does. You are very great, and I would love to hear more like the rival battle re-remix from you. I also think you focus too much on soundfont songs, to the point where it may occasionally limit the possibilities of your music. I'd love you to go outside of the game's soundfonts more often.
EDIT: I forgot my noms after all the time I spent thinking about it XD

I just thought while I'm here I'd put in my noms, and also thanks everyone for the kind comments! And to wherewolftherewolf and pokemoneinstein, who I agree with to some degree and were honest in their opinions.

My main advice to you is to try branching away from DS soundfonts, but regardless, you're truly one of the best remixers on the forum, in my opinion.

98% Hnturs12 has really cool musical pieces! Its just so epically made!Just like his G/S/C Rival Battle theme he made from FL! That song blew me away! Strengths: Good Instruments Choices Epic Original Compositions Soundfonts he choose are just outstanding Weakness: ...Uh...I'm not really sure if I can't find a weakness but I guess he can do more remixing without soundfonts?

90% Strengths: I really love your original compositions; you have so much creativity, you do a lot with soundfonts, etc. Very fantastic work. Points to Improve: There are some pieces which I felt lacked energy, or weren't as solid as others. Keep in mind, those are VERY FEW. I'd like to see you use more styles of music, and branch out/remix some "lesser" themes. Of course, we could all do that! Excellent work, and keep it up!

95%
Strengths: -Skillful with melodies and counter melodies. -Good use of tempo changes and changing the feel of one piece several times throughout without making it feel random. -Remixes are pretty solid. -Very epic and energizing OCs.
Weaknesses: (I'm being veeeeerrrrryy picky here because your work is excellent.) -I like how in your OCs you sometimes introduce a certain melodic phrase, repeat several times and then add something else too it to build up the piece. But just be careful, sometimes it can be too repetitive if you use it too much. -Needs more variety. You have a lot of battle themes, and they're great. But calmer songs are nice too and I'm not saying you don't have calmer songs, just that you could use more. -Work on ending songs better. And I'm not talking about the ones that are meant to loop because well they're meant to loop. Fade outs are ok but any epic song loses a little epicness if the ending isn't just as epic.
