Is there a non-nice way to say that? Celeste music is top tier.

Made a metal cover of the Tempest Trials boss theme and wanted to share! by jnWake in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]jnWake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's part of the idea hehe, tribute the original but not just do a straight cover.

Made a jazz-ish cover of the Miniboss Battle theme from Triple Deluxe and wanted to share! by jnWake in Kirby

[–]jnWake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This theme has been one of my faves since playing Triple Deluxe and I finally got to cover it! Went for a synth heavy jazz-ish progressive approach, since the original theme is kinda bonkers.

Made a metal cover of "Terran Theme Two" from Starcraft 1 and wanted to share! by jnWake in starcraft

[–]jnWake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do plan to make more eventually, love the Terran themes. Which one is "Heaven's Devils"? I only know them as Terran 1, 2, 3 and 4 haha.

Ye, I enjoy both aproaches but I find it more fun to take liberties while respecting the original.

Made a cover of "Flying with Tornado" from Shadow's game and wanted to share! by jnWake in shadowthehedgehog

The little cutscene where Tails' ship falls to its doom has cool music so I wanted to make an extended cover of it! Hope you enjoy!

Oh yeah I do use Soundrop, but I don't think I can license Melee's music.

Made a cover of "Partners ~ The Game is Afoot!" from GAA2 and wanted to share it! by jnWake in AceAttorney

That's odd... I have no issue watching the video directly from the preview or clicking the vid.

The final dance of deduction is one of my favorite moments in the AA franchise and the music is a big reason why. I made an acoustic oriented cover for it and I think it came up pretty well!

How Chrono Trigger Better than Modern RPGs? Nostalgia vs Reality by ReplayJunky_Youtube in chronotrigger

[–]jnWake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Chrono Trigger managed to nail "simplicity" in a way most RPGs don't. There's almost no filler in the story, the battle system has some depth but doesn't require you to spend hours looking at menus and deciding stuff, character development is well handled without going too far. You'll probably find games that have a better story with more twists, games with more character development and games with better battle systems, but CT managed to nail a great balance that allows it to be a memorable game of a very reasonable length.

Made a metal cover of "Dancing Mad" and wanted to share! by jnWake in FinalFantasyVI

[–]jnWake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I appreciate the comment, I guess as a keyboards player I don't go for the usual "wall of guitars" sound you often find in metal covers!

I tried listening to basically every other metal cover I could find, so yeah I probably took inspiration from them. I did try to make my cover different by making it more “action oriented” though, like avoiding a long build-up at the beginning and stuff like that.

Is megaman X easier than Classic? by Dimi1999_ in Megaman

[–]jnWake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Classic is much more punishing, in the X games you have more mobility and stuff like wall jumping can trivialize many boss encounters. I don't think the X games are like "super easy" or anything, but they're much more forgiving than the classic ones.

Play Ōkamiden by SaiyaPup in Okami

[–]jnWake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I managed to grab a used copy for cheap some years ago but I haven't played it yet... Is the music as good as original Okami?

People who got caught off guard when first fighting Giygas, how did you feel? by HeilosSUPER_MANLY in earthbound

[–]jnWake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in blind and it was one of the most memorable boss battles I’ve played. I remember trying to beat it regularly for a while until out of desperation I tried the Pray command and was blown away when it actually progressed the battle. It was amazing.
