List of New Remixes

[TheCJBrine]

With how Final Fantasy only had 2 tracks, and Dragon Quest has 2 tracks per game that the playable Heroes come from, I wonder if it's less of a problem with the composers and more that Square-Enix just has a weird limit of 2 tracks per game + a victory theme that's not allowed to be remixed (I don't know if Hero's is remixed or not).

 

[PixelPasta]

So how about all those new Banjo-Kazooie songs? Seven new tracks!
My favourite (besides Spiral Mountain of course) is that surf rock style arrangement of Gobi's Valley.

and... an official MEGALOVANIA remix by Toby Fox in Smash. What a crazy timeline.

I'll say.

 

[ninjahmos]

Yoko Shimomura did an arrangement of Treasure Trove Cove!

 

[Sari]

Well with all the new music confirmed, now we just have to wait to see what music Terry brings with him. I'm hoping King of Fighters gets some songs into Smash because there are just so many good tracks that they just can't pass on.

 

[fersmashing]

I can confirm that it will be a remix of Terry Bogard's theme "Kurikinton" (from Fatal Fury 2). In the Nintendo Direct, it appears while showing the inclusion of Terry in the Fighter's Pass

Thanks for pointing that out, I totally missed that! I went back and listened to it, it sounds so good from the little glimpse we got. Such a catchy song.

It makes me so happy that people still visit & help contribute to this thread

 

[PixelPasta]

50 new tracks, how about that??
Part of me wishes the other DLC packs could have had more songs to balance it out (especially Banjo-Kazooie), but I can't complain, I'll take 50 more songs in a heartbeat. Glad to see some Metal Slug in there!

Anyone had a chance to listen through the new songs yet? Any favourites? The Kurikinton remix is catchy as heck.
Also, the poll is updated if anyone wants to re-take it!

 

[ninjahmos]

I love these new Smash remixes of Fatal Fury/King of Fighters/SNK Music! Especially Yoko Shimomura’s remix of Pasta from Fatal Fury 2.

 

[Perkilator]

Of all the songs, I never expected Richard Meyer's theme to be remixed.

 

[SneakyLink]

The Psycho Soldier remix is amazing.

 

[PixelPasta]

I love these new Smash remixes of Fatal Fury/King of Fighters/SNK Music! Especially Yoko Shimomura’s remix of Pasta from Fatal Fury 2.

Pasta is definitely a stand out for me. I just KNEW it was Yoko when I heard it in the background of the presentation!

I'd say these are my personal favourites of the new remixes:
1. Kurikinton (amazing blend of jazz and rock)
2. 11th Street (super funky, love the solos)
3. Forest World (I had no idea this song existed before today, but wow its just so delightfully catchy!)

Its nice to discover so many great tunes, because aside from Metal Slug (both of its remixes are also amazing) I was barely familiar with the music of these SNK franchises

 

[Perkilator]

Between all the tracks in Terry's pack, I'd say a character with 50 TRACKS ALONE is the best $25 I've ever spent, since I figure it'd normally be $60-$100 for DLC like this (even if it's a one time thing).

 

[IsmaR]

Setting My Music for the King of Fighters Stadium is the hardest out of any stage. The abundance of amazing remixes and nostalgic original versions could keep me lost for hours.

The only thing I wish is that some of the tracks could play on more fitting areas. What I would give to get Kurikinton on Spirit Tracks, Assault Theme (Metal Slug) on Halberd, ART of FIGHT/Banquet of Nature on Suzaku Castle, etc.

 

[SimonferSmash]

To think today marks a year already ever since the entire soundtrack was unveiled to us.

But look at far it's come since then.

Already five new franchises have joined in with musical representation, with the likes of B-K, Persona, and even Undertale now being part of what is single handily the largest collection of video game tunes ever; which I feel is gonna keep growing and expanding!

Was just curious if after said time has passed that either Ultimate still has the best collection of brand new arrangements compared to it's predecessors or if say you feel Brawl edges it out entirely or by just a smidge in said department.

For me it still remains that these remixes are the best this crossover has seen since it sounds as if nearly each and every one had true passion and heart poured into their composition.

Also to note is that Ultimate has broken the record in the amount of arrangements; considering Brawl initially had the largest amount prior to the whopping unload the latest challenger pack gave us!

 

[Perkilator]

You know, I’m somewhat bummed only the TH Main Theme got a remix among the TH music present in the DLC. I was, at the very least, hoping for remixes of:

-Fódlan Winds (Example)
-Tearing Through Heaven
-Blue Skies and a Battle (Example)
-Life at Garreg Mach Monastery (Example)
-The Apex of the World

 

[PascalWager]

I love Beleth!

Man, that music used in Steve’s trailer is a real banger.

 

[HypnoMaster372]

Tell me about it! I just can't get it out my head!

 

[IsmaR]

Only 7 songs seems like a bit of a letdown/on the low side, but given the source material/comments on music that "doesn't fit action" I'm not too surprised.

That said I'm still eagerly awaiting the presentation tomorrow/full release to hear the full version of that remix. It is extraordinary how this game's music makes you feel like you never knew how much nostalgia is possible for such simple themes.

7 songs? Where was that confirm?

 

[IsmaR]

On the official website

 

[TheCJBrine]

7 songs? Where was that confirm?

ZhugeEX, a dude who appears to get some inside info and is very credible, mentioned it:

Steve and Alex are part of the second Challenger Pack in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2, which also includes a new stage and seven music tracks from the Minecraft series. pic.twitter.com/RgmTlXcC5Z

— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) October 1, 2020

However, I’m not 100% sure this is his info or a mistake, since Sakurai, Nintendo, nor Mojang have said anything about how much music is included.

edit: nvm I missed the website’s info. ‘d. Thank you IsmaR.

Kinda stinks, hopefully there will be remixes of Minecraft and Sweden, and maybe Cat + Dog at least. I know they’ll all be good though.

 

[PixelPasta]

Does anybody know the song that is being remixed in the trailer? I can't identify it - is it an original composition?

I hope that the seven tracks include a good handful of cool high-energy Minecraft remixes! I'm hoping for "Minecraft," "Sweden," "Wet Hands" (maybe in a medley with its sibling, "Dry Hands"), and "Mice on Venus" to be remixed. As for ported-in songs, we need "Pigstep" from the latest Nether update.

Here you go!

 

[PixelPasta]

Here you go!

Ahhhh thank you, finally! Its been bugging me ever since the reveal.

Interesting choice of a song to arrange. I really hope there will be some OG Minecraft tunes remixed as well!

It also sounds like there might be a little bit of this song mixed in too!
You can hear it start around 1:50 before it fades out.

 

[ninjahmos]

I wonder who arranged this remix? Anyway, I hope we’ll also get Smash remixes of Sweden, Wet Hands, Mice on Venus, and others.

To me, it sounds like either Yoko Shimomura or ACE.

 

[Perkilator]

Okay, so here’s the song list (bold means new remix):

• Halland / Dalarna
• Earth
• Clockwork Crafter
• Toys on a Tear
• Dance of the Blocks
• Glider
• The Arch-Illager

None of these are from the original game, though. There’s no tracks from that.

I'm honestly want to know what Sakurai meant by not getting them in.
Is it because of;
A) no permission
or
B) the difficulty of making a high-intensity remix.

I'm guessing it was a licensing issue. I believe C418 owns the original soundtrack, not Mojang.

 

[TheCJBrine]

It’s definitely strange we didn’t get any maingame music; Halland was also slow and calm, and some music discs aren’t too calm. Maybe it was C418, idk. There are a few tracks by Lena Raine, but they’re all new Nether tracks, so I understand why those wouldn’t be chosen.

At least the music we got still sounds really good, though, and Halland keeps the feel of original Minecraft.

 

[-crump-]

Sakurai: “We didn’t add music from the original game because it was too calm”

Also Sakurai: “Let’s use a remix of the camp theme from Minecraft Dungeons, a very calm, somber song, for the big trailer”

I think it’s pretty clear that rights issues were the reason we don’t have any songs from the original soundtrack, which makes sense.

 

[Perkilator]

“Dance of the Blocks” definitely sounds like it was remixed by Yoko Shimomura. I’d know her style anywhere.

 

[Chaosmaster8753]

So how is it that Minecraft music ended up being tougher to get than Dragon Quest music?

 

[PixelPasta]

“Dance of the Blocks” definitely sounds like it was remixed by Yoko Shimomura. I’d know her style anywhere.

You called it! Dance of the Blocks was remixed by Yoko - it totally does sound like something from Kingdom Hearts or Mario & Luigi!

Also of note:
The amazing Halland / Dalarna remix was by ACE, the Xenoblade composers!!
Toys on a Tear was by Yuzo Koshiro, famous for Streets of Rage
and the Arch-Illager remix was by Motoi Sakuraba, who also composed Dark Souls, which I just find funny

 

[IsmaR]

Nothing particularly new/substantial, but I thought this insight from one of the aforementioned composers was interesting (specifically them citing the "150 second rule" for Smash songs)

I arranged Toys on a Tear of Minecraft in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC. My nephew is a big MC fan and plays all the time with loud vol, so I chose one of the most impressive tracks he liked to play with. Thanks to all the staff for the great rec, with almost full live inst. https://t.co/YK8A5NehCY

The original version is so lovely! And the time-length was about 150sec, coincidentally the same as the default time set by SBU's rule. So I intentionally made the BPM be the same. Keeping the original feeling as possible would be happy for fans also. I really hope you like it.

The curse is finally lifted!!! More than two Final Fantasy tracks - and some of them are new arrangements!
