I completely forgot to add these from my combo score, but here goes.

I edited out the references to Trunks from characters who shouldn't know or speak about it

Namely:
Piccolo in 61, Yamcha in 64, and again Yamcha in 66.

Redownload those episodes. Piccolo's line is largely the same, just replaced Trunks with "him" thanks to AI
Yamcha's lines are his Z lines from those scenes.

Okay... Some of the TFC placements really bothered me... not trying to sound rude but a couple times it just kinda felt like Kikuchi Kai where it would sometimes just let a track play all the way, sometimes bleeding into other scenes (Bojack appears playing when Gohan tries to power up to stop Buu, then continues as SSJ2 Goku and Majin Vegeta fight) and a few didn't really quite match Z as well as I thought I could, so... for a few scenes in a few episodes, I rescored parts to be closer to the Z scores. Goku's SSJ3 Transformation placement of Lord slugg summons Shen Long and Broly expels his ki are much closer to how it is in Z, almost exactly so. Majin Vegeta hugging Trunks and his sacrifice had the tracks swapped, so I redid them and placed them like Z, with Gohan kills Bojack stopping when Vegeta knocks Trunks out. There are more but, these three episodes are what I have right now, so far the only time I find issue with the placement, and I'm almost at those episodes with my friend for the first time and want his experience to be... well as close to pure as I can get with dubbed Kai. lol.

Yeah I was a bit miffed by the switching of the track for Vegeta's sacrifice and when he hugs trunks, but that's up to Stridster.

I appreciate you posting a version that is more akin to the original.

Right, I don't wanna like undercut Stridster, just wanna make my tweaks optional! :)

I'm actually not sure why I switched those two tracks on episode 127, I kinda just assumed I had a good reason since I only do that kinda thing if tracks are repeated or something but no I clearly made a mistake there. It's possible it was a personal edit I made and then accidentally left it there, but it's been nearly 5 years since then so I can't really remember.

I've gone back and switched the tracks back, thank you for bringing this to my attention https://mega.nz/folder/gbkmFbAZ#eZaAhFRPsP2VAJ1XBhc86g

As for the other changes I made it's usually done because the footage in kai is shortened meaning it isn't possible to match the music of Z perfectly. If I just shortened the tracks constantly to better match Z then the music would just sound weird so I sometimes have to let the tracks play fully, or sometimes choose one track over using two. These decisions are obviously subjective, so some choises I make won't be liked by everyone. I fully support you making your own edits to my rescore however.

Good shit! I do hope people give my placements a chance! I think my tweaks came out good, and the cut from Gohan trying to get mad, to powering up, to Goku and Vegeta fighting has more variety. :) I'd do a whole custom rescore, but Stridester's is already great and I don't have much to critique and I don't have much free time.

Episode 110
Episode 111

More fixes. 110 has a Sumitomo track play on top of the Kikuchi track right before the eyecatch, and 111 has a quick second of the Sumitomo track play right after the eyecatch. I corrected both and the timing of the Kikuchi track I reinserted in 110 is cut more like in Z's episode.
