No, it wasn't because (thanks to) you Star King. I watched a melee vid about how to hold your controller to multishine and it was playing in the background. That one you posted is also really good thanks =D.

edit: However it also looks really difficult on piano =(. That marasy guy is too good. I wish I had his skill haha.

You thought Native Faith was hard? Try Necrofantasia's chorus lol...I usually get music done by ear, so if I'm ever trying to play something, it ends up being generic melody on right hand with arbitrary notes/chords on left hand. I don't know your level so I can't really help :\

Most touhou music is pretty good and some people say it all sounds the same. The vast majority can be rearranged on piano, they just sound a bit weaker because ZUN likes to mix it up a lot. Recently I've been listening mainly to 12.3's combined OST because it's the only one I'm really playing.

There's...Mystic Oriental Love Consultation from, among other games, IaMP, which could probably be done easily as a soft arrange because it's a fairly simple melody, Plain Asia from Touhou 8 where you can just play chords on left hand and melody phrase on right, ignoring the rest if you want (this is a stylised arrange), and Evening Sky from SWR, of which there is already a good piano arrange.

Plenty more, those are the ones I happen to like and remember are *relatively* simple.

Also, if you're following up on ciaza's green-highlighted song, search 'Beloved Tomboyish Girl' or 'Adventure of the Lovestruck Tomboy' (arrange), because, as always, he was a noob and just posted it in romaji.

Thanks for that complete answer ^^. My level in piano isn't good at all. I've learned for ~5 years, then stopped for another 5 years and now I'm thinking about getting back to this by myself (I hated the courses with teachers and stuff). If you want an example of one of the hardest thing I can play, there is this, and even that I don't play it perfectly. And I definitely don't have the talent to play by hear lol.

I don't have what you'd call 'talent' either, it's just trial and error to me. I think a lot of online sheet music, especially for arrangements, is rather difficult and stylised, with unnecessary flourishes and ridiculous 1.5 octave chords here and there. I don't try to compensate for non-piano parts when I play, and that's why I either get the sheet music and work with what I consider the primary melodies (not often) or just play by ear.

If you can't be bothered doing it by ear, try that first method I talked about...one hand at a time, work out which notes are the 'primary' melody, and fix secondary parts (ie. beats, bass, etc) to left hand, and slowly put them together.

Hmm on the contrary I thought these arrangements made the music better on piano. By "talent" I meant finding the melodies just by trials. As I said I'm really not good and I wouldn't be able even to find the primary melody. And even if I did I wouldn't be able to find good secondary parts. By the way, how long do you think it would take to play native faith like the other guy did? I'm sure I would never be able to do it lol.

edit: just heard necrofantasia and it doesn't seam as hard as native faith =/

Temp transfers to GW have happened in the past.

They do usually go away once everyone (even non-SWF smash64 players) realizes the smash64 home is up again.

It hasn't happened this time. Probably because Galaxy was down too long. At this rate, GW will become the permanent home of smashers :(:(:(:(:(

Huh. Hockey actually looks pretty entertaining. Unlike baseball or something dumb like that. Maybe I'll get into it.

We need to take serious actions to prevent a switch to GW.

Does anyone know the GW mods? Maybe we could convince them to put something up?

If u guys want galaxy back, stop logging into gw. Seriously I saw posts the other day of ppl saying we should go to galaxy, and on a hunch checked gw, and guess who's there? The same who were saying they want galaxy back. It won't happen overnight (unless gw goes down). Just only go to galaxy, and wait for everyone to follow.

Haha yes hockey is really fun to watch and play.

Most people like nice shots, break aways or shoot-outs but personally this stuff is what make it me cheer / cry out in disbelief the most

@Battlecow You're not. In addition to the number one comment, there's a comment with 20 thumbs up (GameHackTuts554), 21 thumbs up (museturtlebrendon), 8 thumbs up (flyingspacepotatoes), 76 thumbs up (Fas6pa), 64 thumbs up (quillber), 45 thumbs up (1949outboard), 8 thumbs up (wellesradio), 79 thumbs up (theoriginialbyoch), 86 thumbs up (Freedomfortruth), 8 thumbs up (SlavetotheWindxx), 35 thumbs up (DimensionsofChange), 30 thumbs up (JagexBy), 12 thumbs up (opnarinn), 18 thumbs up (Dragforce69), 38 thumbs up (Useless2112), 10 thumbs up (Plaazo), 8 thumbs up (TurkeyJones91), and that's just the first page you get if you click "View all Comments". It's just that Youtube uses some dumb system where only fairly recent comments with a decent number of thumbs up is shown under "Highest Rated Comments" (the name of that section is a LIE).

Not only that, but it's not that hard to get a high rated comment on Youtube, as evidenced by all the people that beat you. Especially since most Youtube comments are horrendously stupid, so a half-decent comment seems great in comparison.

My purpose in life is to put Battlecow down.

:troll::troll::troll::troll::troll:

I see that look on your face, and I just want you to know that I DON'T have a crush on Battlecow.

Try playing a version that attempts to compensate for alllll of the instruments :)

Also, you can do anything on piano with enough time, it's just muscle memory. I can close my eyes and play Pachelbel's Canon in D and three variations on it because I practised it that much (I'm oh-so-asian). You can just work from sheet music or youtube tutorials, if they exist (dunno for Native Faith lol).

OK then. You go ahead and get a highest rated comment on a video with more views than that one.

Or aren't you CLEVAR enough to match my sparkling wit?

there are a lot of instances where it LOOKS LIKE battlecow is rly good at something but AS IT TURNS OUT the people he thinks he's beating are actually better

I used to play piano but was never very good. I'm starting to get decent at guitar and currently learning Pachelbel's Canon. It's seriously the most amazing classical song ever.
