Smashing Composers: An Insight to the SSBB Soundtrack! (K.K. Rider Update)

Not sure. All we know for sure is that it plays on the battlefield stage.

gunterrsmash01 · Jun 17, 2007

Because I can read. ^_^

EDIT: Thats looks a lot less funny sarcastic than it sounded in my head and instead just sounds rude. *laugh*

Not really, I just kinda haven't had the time for it! :laugh:

On to the show!

Chido's Pick of the Day - 6/20/07

The Halberd. Seems like an epic stage, doesn't it? I think I know which song will be picked for it. But I would propose this one for it instead.

http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/379/14
Sounds like Yoko Shimomura would do a very good job with this one.

Fawriel · Jun 20, 2007

Aaah, Kirby 64, isn't it? A good choice, especially a good choice of composer. *grins*

But Metaknight didn't even appear in Kirby 64... and unless the song is quite much remixed, I'm not sure whether it would fit.

Chidosengan · Jun 20, 2007

You're right. That was just personal pick. THIS is what they most likely use:

http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/215/40

Actually, I'm starting to find it very fitting! Yoko Shimomura still seems best for the job!

lanky_gunner · Jun 20, 2007

i do have to say that the one you just posted sounds better. i would love for that one to loop over and over on halberd

EDIT: hey i noticed you're missing a composer. Minako Hamano of Metroid Fusion

Darkfur · Jun 20, 2007

I like Chido's pick better. I never really cared for the track that actually played on the Halberd...

O D I N · Jun 20, 2007

You forgot to mention that Masato Kouda worked on Devil May Cry!!

Fawriel · Jun 21, 2007

Oooh, nice. A rock version by Yoko Kanno of this song could be amazing!

He's there. Look on the Metroid Zero Mission song I posted, and look at the credits.

I would haved, but I couldn't find a song of DMC that credited him. So I went with Monster Hunter.

Chido's Pick of the Day - 6/21/07

OH NO!!!! I MESSED UP ON MY SATs!

.... I going to have to retake it......

Ugh, I also forgot what was my pick!

Sorry, today is turning out to be a bad day for me....

I need to relax my mind. Here, listen to this tune. I know, no way in hell can it make to Brawl. Still relaxing, though.....

lanky_gunner · Jun 21, 2007

ah see you paired him with another composer, not alphabetically, so he was hard to find!

ah that is peaceful. reminds me of the good old days of the 64 generation. i really wish i bought the mario partys for that system. i only have 4-8. 1-3 were the best, what was i thinking?

Fawriel · Jun 21, 2007

*hugs Chido*
I hope you'll be okay.

That's a really lovely song. And it's from Mario Party? That's amazing, usually music from those games annoys the hell out of me. xD

Devastlian · Jun 21, 2007

****, that sucks about the SAT, Chidosengan.

Fawriel, of course it's amazing. The music in the first Mario Party was done by Yasunori Mitsuda.

lanky_gunner · Jun 21, 2007

and he's on the list! woo-hoo! i wonder what he'll do?

Chidosengan · Jun 22, 2007

lanky_gunner · Jun 23, 2007

what would the mario kart stage have? it's been varied in songs over the course of it's history that it's hard to tell. in my opinion, i would love to hear the menu track from mk64

O D I N · Jun 23, 2007

Advance Wars for the win. I can't wait for a new DS AW with WiFi. I'd never leave the house... Actually I would... Cause I don't have WiFi at home... >_>

Chidosengan · Jun 24, 2007

Chido's Pick of the Day - 6/24/07

Whoo! this been a nice and busy weekend for me! On saturday, I went to gamestop to get a new DS game without being sure what to get. I saw a used Sonic Rush for $17, plus 10% I had in my card. Then I saw a bargain bin that had Sonic Heroes for $9! Plus $8 off due to the game I was trading in. So I paid $17 for all, about half the price I was intended to spend! Then today I got Custom Robo for $22 since my mom finally paid the $50 that she owed me. Plus I got a pair of shorts, 2 pants, and a shirt. Can you say "great weekend?"

Whoops! Sorry about that. Got a little carried away. On to the pick!

I remember hearing this song in the N64. It's really good. It should be Kirby's new theme song! I wonder what kind of stage they going to give him this time though....

Cenedar · Jun 24, 2007

For the Halberd stage, I actually like this music, it's pretty epic, and it's from a Kirby game too!

Kirby 64 FTW

silver777 · Jun 24, 2007

this is one of the best mario theme remix ever.

it is the best soundtrack in DDR Mario mix .

they really should include this in the game.

Chido's Pick of the Day - 6/25/07

I wonder.... How come my Blockbuster's PS3 section is 3 times bigger then the Wii's? And there's so many PSP games to rent but absolutely no DS games?

Anyways, have you wonder what the team is going to be for Brawl? What I mean is those teams you fight during the 1-Player games. In Melee, they didn't really had a real theme song like they did in SSB64. So why not rearrange good old "Duel Zone"?

lanky_gunner · Jun 25, 2007

Yeah, and it's great too. I've never heard any of Michiko Naruke's work, but this is a very good mix. I love the horn sample they used (me being a horn player and all, lolz) and the Saria's song part rocked hard. lolz

What do ya'll think of it?

Scyther3176 · Jun 26, 2007

I think it's amazing. I'm sure the full piece will be even better but even this short clip proves how good the soundtrack to SSBB will be. Does anyone have the mp3 for this please?

Celsco · Jun 26, 2007

Has anyone downed it yet?

Green Shell · Jun 26, 2007

Two people have already.
One's in a post, the other in a topic.

GenG · Jun 26, 2007

That was a fine piece. Love Naruke's style, a future western style reminiscent of her work in Wild Arms 4.

Undrdog · Jun 26, 2007

It sounded great! But it limits my chances of seeing both the "Legend of Zelda" theme and the "Adventures of Link" Palace theme in Brawl. For thsoe of you who don't know, the music on Hyrule Temple in Melee is a remade song from NES LoZ, AoL. It had been my favorite and I was so surprised to find it in Melee.

But yeah, in my opinion, the most powerful song in all of Nintendo is LoZ's theme music. And with all of these composers... I really hope a LOT of attention goes into that song.

As for the released music, man that is amazing! And a bit surprising... I mean if you think about it, it was almost like OoT had officially taken the backseat to TP. While OoT has been the favorite of the modern LoZ games, TP was welcomed as a new game to be praised. OoT has been holding the spot for too long as far as marketing is concerned.

Brawl was killing off the old designs and it with little evidence it's being widely excepted that Sheik won't be in Brawl. Almost everything OoT related seems to be stripped from Brawl. Could we be seeing a OoT stage from this? It seems odd that both Link and Zelda are TP designed yet there are signs of OoT being present in this game. I really want to know if this means anything.

Perhaps the next blog will feature a new stage...? We have Link, Zelda, and "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Medley" already known. I'unno, high hopes on my part I suppose.

Wiwiweb · Jun 26, 2007

I think I got the all the different songs from the music :

0:07 : Song of Storms
0:24 : Epona's Song
0:36 : still Epona's Song, but another part.
0:47 : Song of Time
1:07 : Saria's Song (I bet everyone recognized this one.)
1:20 : Zelda's Lullaby

nice work checked everything out and seems like you got all right.

Fawriel · Jun 26, 2007

Rawr... I've been missing out on a lot of music lately. So many good songs I should comment on, but... rawr. Just know that I love it.

Living in the same apartment with a guy whose life IS music does have its disadvantages. I proudly ( don't ask me, why ) presented him the update, and he disliked it.
As a person who claims that music is at least a major part of my life, that's... a letdown.
I'll try to analyze the song to the best of my ability and restore my honor or something.

If you just like music as it is, do not read on.
Being overly analytic is not fun and totally ruins some experiences. Like music.

Song of Storms: I love this song. The rearrangement enhances the already bittersweet tone of the original, which I really like. There's a minor slip-up in the main instrument at one point. Overall, it's a really good part... the background instruments seem kinda useless, though, they keep repeating themselves quietly and could've been used to add more flow.
Epona's Song part 1: It's an interesting change from the original, yet it seems a bit out of place. What's most disappointing is that the main instrument seems flat and doesn't flow freely, which is probably the greatest problem you encounter when rearranging a song... it feels like it just reiterates the original melody because it has to.
Epona's Song part 2: My least favourite part. Mostly due to personal preference; it just sounds too much like ye olde happy orchestra victory tune or something like that. It also sounds out of place and somewhat carries over the forced melody from the previous part.
Song of Time: I actually kinda like this part. The main instrument is rather flat again, but the background gives it more tempo, and it's definitely an interesting take on the original, and comes as a surprising turn in the tone of the song.
Saria's Song: You cannot possibly go wrong with Saria's Song. It's the best and most energetic part, and also an interesting new take on the original tune. I'm not sure what to think of the fact that the beginning and the end of this segment set it apart from the rest of the medley so much, I think it could maybe have flown better. But still. Love.
Zelda's Lullaby: Heard only briefly, it's not really very interesting... the background doesn't really fit here and the main instrument.. well, that's Zelda's Lullaby. Not much of a rearrangement here, it's okay, I suppose. Hopefully it evolves some more.

So...
Yeah. I guess I see where he's coming from when he calls it lifeless. But I stand by my claim that parts of it are awesome.

Rash · Jun 26, 2007

Being over-analytical does ruin some things like music.

I mean, just because this is a medley doesn't mean it needs judging by being broken apart and listened to in fragments. The impact the song has as a whole is what counts. And also, in this track's specific case (considering it's in SSBB), it's better that it's no so overdone that it won't fit well in a videogame; one thing I really like about the OoT Medley is the fact that I can definitely imagine it playing in the background of a stage. It sounds about right for what it's going for, and that's what I think matter's most.

Hydde · Jun 26, 2007

Michiko Naruke didnt failed to impress!!!

WONDERFULL ZELDA SONG!...
