Update. I've given most of the song more of a swing feel now. Works particularily well with Buffalo Blizzard part I think. The beat definitely sounds more jazzy imo. I'd let to get my opinion confirmed though. Is this a good change?
-
Nah, I think Sakurai just means Diddy'll move like a typical, agile, little monkey. Awkward compared to other characters I guess.
As for Snake, I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't involved with the adventure mode. It might be a Nintendo only thing.
-
Yeah, I didn't actually change the arrangement thats why you can't see a difference. Just technical things.
About not recognising the Gravity beetle tune... its probably 'cause its a much slower tempo, with notes taken out and changed. I thought it would be good to make it fit with the genre more. Its a remix after all.
As for percussion, I really don't have any other samples for jazz on the keyboard. I'm gonna to figure out another of improving them. Any suggestions anyone?
-
Update. I've just done some basic things to improve the sound of the sax and increased the volume of the electric piano that plays the melodies for the first half of the song. Makes a significant difference though. Gives more "energy" to the song
I'll look into improving percussion for the next update although thats definitely one of my (and my keyboard's) many weaknesses.
Hmmm, I'm surprised you can't pick out the source tunes.
Blizzard Buffalo stage: 0:00 - 0:42 and again at 2:22 - 2:32
Gravity Beetle stage: 0:49 - 1:50
Zero's theme (very different, though): 3:09 - 3:49
Not sure how I can make them more obvious besides the Zero theme.
-
Ok, my first attempt at making the new improvements. I tried to improve on most of the things mentioned.
I even tried fixing the off-key part but, with my lack of musical knowledge I couldn't, so its the same as last time. Doesn't neccesarily clash does it?
Still other things to iron out.
-
Man, I suddenly really want Young Link back in the game again. Imagine Fierce Deity as his Final smash. It would mean someone else besides Bowser could have a transformation.
His chances are extremely low though. If they're gonna have another version of Link it'll probably be the Windwaker/Phantom hourglass verion.
-
LOL, check out this ytmnd. Completely bogus but I still thought I'd post it just because it's a pretty original way of tricking people.
-
This is one step closer to an all-star Nintendo rpg. You know, similar to Kingdom hearts but Nintendo instead of Disney.
Seriously though, I'm really interested in seeing how they incorporate character's past history into this mode. This makes me even more certain that characters like King Dedede and Starwolf will be in the game, since their important to their rival's backstory.
-
Now if they can just get Hector and Lyn in on the action I'll be a happy boy. I'm pretty sure they'll leave Marth in the game. I think of him as the main character of the FE series since he came first.

uhhh I'm sure there are plenty of things you can do to improve this. The intro really doesn't make any musical sense even under the pretense of it being "jazzy". You have a ride playing a swing rhythm that no other instrument seems to follow, even the rest of the drum kit, which seems to be playing a sort of hip-hop beat. The piano and the lead seem to be playing in two different keys. And you have instruments panning all of the place in a way that doesn't really make sense (the sax). This isn't a solo piano piece, the piano should be in one place and stay there (in the intro the lower notes are panned to the left and the higher notes are panned to the right but after that the entire piano is panned to the right?)
The parts after the intro sound much better, though they feel just as aimless. There isn't really a sense of one part beginning and another part ending, one just bleeds into the other. Also the comping is pretty weak. And you have too many instruments playing over top of each other so it is hard to tell which one is supposed to be followed. One thing you could work on is the drums, instead of having them just play a single looping pattern, make them actually play along with the music. Use fills to lead into the different sections, etc. I'm not going to go on about sample quality because I think you should work on the composition first...
I was hoping for a reply like this since I had no clue what to do next. Now I've got lots to do. Thanks, I'll take my time and try and sort things out.
-
I used a keyboard to do all this so its the Grand piano sample off of that. Thanks for the compliment.
No more major improvements can be done to this any more, I don't think, so I'll probably only have one more update to try and master things.
-
I expect many cute sounds and happiness!
Judging by that pic with DK, you'll probably get your wish.
-
You say you want to add other Zelda songs to this. I already here the Stone tower theme from Majora's mask in there a bit at the beginning at 0:19 to 0:24 and then at 0:38 to 0:43. You probably have no idea what I'm talkin about...
Great feel you've got going in this song. Minuet of the forest was one of my least favourite ocarina songs but you've made something great out of it.
-
Thanks for comments. I'm glad its interpretive, thats what remixing is all about.
I've adjusted volumes some more, improved the transition to the Zero theme and added bass to the Zero theme (I'm not too sure about this added). Plus other little things that I'm forgetting.
-
Update. Volume adjustments, expanded on things and improved transitions a bit.
-
Yeah it was a joke... No need to call me stupid (don't know if thats what you were going for there. I'm not the brightest so I'm not sure what you meant by that)
-
Sorry guys, I've recieved a personal email from Sakurai himself telling me not to make any more predictions. Ruins the surprise.
I will say this about final smashes though. The Pit idea above is probably right, Wario's will probably be Warioware based and Zelda may use some powerful magic spell. That is all.
-
OMFG I want your future foreseing powers!
Lol. I can't believe I got that prediction right. Me and Sakurai must think alike.
Ganon being Ganondorf's final, would be equally sexy as people have said already. Are there any other characters that could have transformations? Can't think of any.
-
Surely Giga Bowser will return now. He'd look amazing judging by this update. Hmmm. Maybe transforming into Giga Bowser temporarily could be Bowsers Final Smash.
-
LOL. Other forums probably aren't loving this update as much as we are. I love it though. Banana peel and spin off Mario games go hand in hand.
-
Was it confirmed that all these songs would be re-done fully orchestrated? With all these composers it would be injustice not to.
-
Update. Expanded on things and added an ending that has the Zero theme in it. Still some ideas to try.
-
I thought the Sitar was what mostly made the song so great and different from other remixes of the same song. The guitar does sound disturbingly real though.
The violin was the only negative, but thats because it was a little exposed and in the same song as extremely quality samples.
-
Never played the game but I've heard good things about it's music. After hearing this I'll probably get the game or atleast track down the OST. The whole song was great but 3:25 - 3:50 was particularly epic.
Don't know if vocals were meant to sound slightly asian, but I thought they did and added to the atmosphere because it. Sexy.

A mix of classical and techno? You should try and make the transitions between genres a little smoother. I guess u could listen to http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00956/ for an idea of what I mean. You probably already have anyway.
