What would be Lucario's Theme Song?

[Night Avenger]

What about Back In Black by ACDC? The music is awesome (heck many of the awesome action series/movies have that song) and the lyrics, although they aren't perfect for Luke, just look at this part:

Forget the hearse, 'cause I never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
abusing every one of them and running wild

...

So look at me now, I'm just a makin' my pay,
Don't try to push your luck, just get outta my way

And please if you think you don't know the song (almost everybody does, it's the opening song for Ironman for example...) Just youtube it.



Oh and Off-topic but what about Thunderstruck by ACDC too for Pikachu? It would be awesome since people always seem to say things like "OMG You main Lucario, I main Pikachu I MUST FIGHT YOU!!" And both of them having theme songs by the same group? ROCKS.

 

[Magus-Cie]

Star Guitar by the Chemical Brothers (ESPECIALLY if FD is the stage(100thpostlol)

In response to above quote, here is Star Guitar. I think that anyone who listens to it will agree it is the superior song.

[Hyprodimus Prime]

Star Guitar would make an excellent combo vid song with no lyrics/screaming to get in the way of apretiating the art of comboing. As a theme song I still like Stronger.

 

[Kasai]

In my opinion, the best theme song (not combo video song) recommended thus far is Eye of the Tiger...

 

[phi1ny3]

I say some really beaty hardcore techno just because.

Because it's Lucario...he'a a blue dog with fire coming out of hands. Just screams techno.

I'm hearing u, and I like it!
I would love something like Panic Cube theme, or something like that.

 

[Nodrak]

[Oathblivion]

A thread similar to this came up shortly after Brawl's release, and I seconded the "March of Camebreadth" from Braveheart. Plus, it has bagpipes. Bagpipes are awesome, like Lucario. /failedlogic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G3KNDWB2JY

EDIT: After reading back through the thread, I noticed a plea for music without words. *opens up favorites folder*

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ipzR9bhei_o | Toccata and Fugue in d minor | J.S. Bach | It starts slow, then gets more complicated and powerful until the end, just like Lucario.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=F4oDDmoWf1M | Mars, the Bringer of War | Gustav Holst | Less awesome than Bach, but same reasons. The Imperial March could work as well, from Star Wars.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=XxtEuhv63bc | O Fortuna | Carl Orff, Cover by Transiberian Orchestra | It's set to a rock beat, which makes it more intense. Note the "so awesome" in the beginning. ^_^

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0JVOiwviWG0 | Trepak (Russian Dance) | P.I. Tchaikovsky | High energy, and not as epic as the other three, because I was getting tired of them...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=hMATUgeH14g | Champion Lance | Errr... | Good luck getting a decent version of it (read: no MIDI), but this fits the best by far imo.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=PWxydY4nODI | Ninetails Battle (from Okami) | T-T | Great game, great music, and it's epic enough to be worthy of a Lucario combo video. Plus the beginning fits the "annoying and Japanse" bill.

Combo number 5....but a parody of the Parody. Here I wrote some lyrics. I think it would be funny for a combo vid.

Combo Number 5

Combo 1, 2 ah 3, 4, 5
Lucario can KO low or high,
From zero to death or 200 and over.
Taking some heat? Ya gotta love his Aura.
Hes got 3 spikes, not one of them kills
The master of comebacks as long as you’re chill
You like Aura Sphere, Down Throws, Force Palm and Back Air
We are serving whoop ***, all of it hackin’
So how do you want to play, offensive or passive?
All’Carios are different, depends how you like it.
Who’s that Pokemon of aura, fighting and steel?
Its our main, Lucario!

A little bit of AA to kick it off,
A little bit of Chain Grab, go on and scoff,
A little bit of Up-tilt to raise percent,
A little bit of Up-Smash to make a dent
A little bit of Dash Grab, now say your prayers
A little bit of Air Dodge into Down Air.
A little bit of BAS to make them cry,
A little bit of Double Team and watch him fly.

a slow startup (Playing defensively to judge your opponents playstyle)
then into complete chaos (You hit the combo starting, your going all out hitting them move after move)
a short break (your damage has gotten higher, you want to set yourself up for the auratized kill)
then a blasting finish (You finally get the string into the kill)

I personally dislike the song, but we should probabaly make up our own lyrics like you said. then, we would only need to find a song with a Lucario-type sound, and someone to sing the lyrics who is a good singer. While I don't think we'll ever get to that point, I have some thoughts on the lyrics. They shouldn't necesarily refer to Lucario directly, something about what doesn't kill me makes me stronger, Eyes that see through everyones lies, and as Lucario is a very lonesome Pokemon, it should probably be a somewhat lonesome song.

Personally, I just like "through the Fire and Flames" by Dragon Force, reguardless of relevence. That perticular band probably has good lyrics in at least one of their songs, even if the sound doesn't quite fit.

I like this one most of those...too bad it's not a little bit longer though.

All hail Shadow - its awesome (though a lyric may need changing, but overall, the theme is perfect)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql-6w7G2LpY

The Halo theme song is also really good, but I'm not sure if it'll work for this.

[Kitamerby]

I have declared that from now on, Lucario's official theme song is "Walkin' on Sunshine." in honor of his Dair.

[Dark Paladin X]

Eh... as a major Rise Against fan (they are my favorite band)...I really cant see any of it (besides maybe Broken English) fitting Lucario well. Its great music, but political and social statements dont really fit too well in a combo video.

not all their songs are political or social tabooed even though they are highly liberal.

I can help you out here:

Paper Wings:

Under the Knife:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYOkOE8REXU

and my favorite, Drones:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94vo6NzQD5c

 

[manhunter098]

Well I have to say that aside from Paper Wings, all of those make a relatively noticeable social statement. Not that Rise Against is bad, and their style of play would be great for this, but when you actually understand the songs, it kind of ruins the ability for them to be used for Lucario's theme song in my opinion.


What I think need are songs with either no lyrics, or songs that are pure awesomeness and about pure awesomeness.

That wasnt bad, isnt too fast or slow, isnt too in your face and its got energy. Subtle but powerful like our mon Lucario.

I usually only see the RCMP in non-red serge uniforms, so I couldnt tell you from experieince. I read somewhere that they dont wear a sidearm at parties or something like a grad ceremony. Wiki does say guns are standard since they are police, its the border guys that dont carry guns.

This one seems great for combo videos. Thanks for the find!

We really need one with words, for a general theme song, as well as a wordless one for combo vids. So far, the OP seems to have picked a good one, lyrically.

[Ilucamy]

If you want lyrics, I'd say Until the End or Breath by Breaking Benjamin. (I'm favoring Until the End, the lyrics seem more fitting)

Until the End
Breath

If not, go with DBZ. I'd go with the music they play in the English anime when Goku first transforms into SSJ3.

I need no flame shield! I am a DBZ fan to the end and I don't care what you people think.

Dunno what else, i'll think of something.

No need.. there is no other song for him then this...

When I saw this thread I was like "You're the best ~around!.... No one's ever going to keep you down!..."

I am glad to see I am not the only one who things that ^_^

Lucario needs an egyptian theme - since he's a jackal and -cario is so close to Cairo, thats techno (Lucario just seems like a techno type) with some combination of electric guitar and violin. That seems like it would best suite Lucario, before we consider the lyrics. What would that be, anyway? Something like this (but better quality) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYQ8c0kMc2w? Any thoughts?

 

[MysticKenji]

If you're still looking for songs without lyrics, then how about some Explosions in the Sky?

 

[Puddin]

Explosions In The Sky is good :O his theme song should be I kissed a Girl and liked it...

Fact. lol

 

[Red Hawk One]

Personnaly, I think "Gonna Fly Now" (the main theme from Rocky) is pretty fitting. It represents the martial-arts side of Lucario, as well as his ability to come back from near defeat and win (a la Rocky II).

 

[Milln]

I take it all back

Seriously though, this could be used for a combo vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcDq1qyYpnE&feature=related

You would need more than one song though, but that is not uncommon for a combo vid.
