Thanks man! I am glad how this turned out. This is what I wanted in Blazblue Cross Tag Battle to be honest. Don't get me wrong, the vocal version is also awesome but I feel like an instrumental version would fit more in a ASW Fighting game. plus, I had some audio inspiration with Junkyard Dog from Guilty Gear Xrd with the beginning of the second verse and Rebellion from Blazblue in the ending portion.
(Starts at 0:27) I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?

Kwesi it was years ago. During the launch of CTB, Blake and Yang being DLC character caused a huge uproar. Later on, they made the decision to make them free I think.
I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute Couldn't bear another day without you in it All of the joy that I had known for all my life Was stripped away from me the minute that you died To have you in my life was all I ever wanted But now without you, I'm a soul forever haunted Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted No way in hell that I can ever comprehend this I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?

Muffin Thanks! I don’t remember how long it took me but it was honestly not that long. I think the hardest part was to sync up the different versions and slicing each part so it would sound consistent.
Wait a sec-how did you get that guitar in there? Is there another version with the guitar?? 0-0 i know the official version has a guitar music bridge. Darn I wish the 8tracks erosion had that guitar, and the bridge guitar.
I mixed the instrumental edit of Red Like Roses II with the instrumental version of Red Like Roses II from Players and Pieces in the official soundtrack
Of course. Go right ahead but I think it is more appropriate to credit Jeff and Cassie Lee Williams since this mix is pretty much an edit of there music.
Hisworld1234 I see your point though I am mostly referring to Red Like Roses Part II itself and not really any other parts. Maybe in the future I can make an extra version but that is up in the air.
MetaKnuxXbeats that’s not what I mean. If you play it next to Red Like Roses Part II, it’s missing a verse. It keeps up until the chorus, but skips the response verse starting with “I know you’re broken down by anger and by sadness”
MetaKnuxXbeats yeah, it should have cut in at about 4:20, but it’s not a huge deal. It still listens well, it’s cut together pretty smoothly, good job on this
@@gumballviking9102 Thanks. I pretty much got a new comment on this video and decided to check out the comments in the video and that is where I found your old comment again and was like "wait a minute.... I recognize that name."
Kayn The Cosmic shadow Cosidering how the song sounds very similar to any Sol or Ragna theme from Guilty Gear or Blazblue, Yea, it is a bit weird that a character like Ruby has a theme like that. XD
I'm a bit late on this but if you listen to the actual lyrics it's about how Ruby deals with the loss of her mother. That on top of the fact that Ruby hunts giant monsters with a massive scythe... I think her theme fits pretty well for her.
@@M16StrikerSOF2 it definitely fits, but the show wasted this song on a pair of no-name Grimm with zero emotional impact on Ruby, instead of saving it for a scene where she could go _proper nuclear_ with grief. It could’ve been so impactful ):
When the official version removed the guitar: “Wh-why have you stopped playing that wonderful music?”
Holy shit, man. You did what I couldn't. A complete instrumental of the whole song rather than just a loop. This is REALLY fucking good!

I talked to Soarel.
SHOOTER 57 oh
(Starts at 0:27)
I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day
It's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending
Every scene fades black, and there's no pretending
This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell
I know you didn't plan this
You tried to do what's right
But in the middle of this madness
I'm the one (I'm the one, I'm the one)
You left to win this fight
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness
Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute
Make you understand the reasons why I did it
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
Want you to know that, for eternity, I'm shattered
I tried so hard just to protect you, but I failed to
And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you
I never planned that I would leave you there alone
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
And all the times I swore that it would be okay
Now I'm nothing but a liar, and you're thrown into the fray
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
The pages are torn, and there's no final chapter
I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do
I made a sacrifice, but forced a bigger sacrifice on you
I know you've lived a nightmare
I caused you so much pain
But, baby, please don't do what I did
I don't want (I don't want, I don't want)
You to waste your life in vain
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
You're not the only one who needed me; I thought you understood
You were the one I needed, and you left me as I always feared you would
Would I change it if I could?
It doesn't matter how
The petals scatter now
Every nightmare just discloses
It's your blood that's red like roses
And no matter what I do
Nothing ever takes the place of you
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
here from combat gods 🕺🏽
That was so good
same
Me too
MEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!
Same
Best instrumental I've found, 10/10.
Supsifier thanks man.
I don't listen to any other version of Red Like Roses than this. It's too good.
Nevflinn hey, thanks. That actually means a lot to me
Me too my dude
Combat gods anyone?
Yep, me too
Yes.
Mori would love to put your version of Red Like Roses II into the game. This is awesome. I give this a 11/10
Thanks! although I am not sure if I would really forgive Mori for the whole DLC controversy but we'll see if can redeem himself.
@@MetaKnuxXbeats what dlc controversy
Kwesi it was years ago. During the launch of CTB, Blake and Yang being DLC character caused a huge uproar. Later on, they made the decision to make them free I think.
The guitar is such a powerful instrument, it has it’s OWN voice!!!
That one dislike is from the Nevermore that got beheaded during the Beacon initiation fight xDD
Who else is here after combat gods
I thought I was the only one
I'll level with you chief, I still come to this video because I like the cover art more
Tribacious Tee cool. Cover art as in the art in the video? That is from the Cross Tag Battle trailer. Or you are talking about remixes?
@@MetaKnuxXbeats Yeah, the picture in the video, I prefer it to the 'improved' remix's one. Sorry for the ambiguity
Tribacious Tee oh! I see. Thanks!
When your little brother is beating you at Smash Bros and it's time to not holding back anymore.
So basically when I pick DK
And when i pick Greninja or Cloud
Holy hell....... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Xerano thanks!
“I kinda wanted to give this a Daisuke Ishiwatari feel”. You succeeded and I hope you find ways to do this with other songs.
Plug N' Play thanks! And I hope I do too. We’ll see if the future.
I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute
Couldn't bear another day without you in it
All of the joy that I had known for all my life
Was stripped away from me the minute that you died
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted

Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted

Minato Arisato thanks man. I recommend hearing the higher quality version that
Minato Arisato Shut up and dance deadman
really wish they had instrumentals on the soundtracks
This isn't part 2... *THIS IS PART 3*
:O
The only version that really matters, thank you sir.
Man, this makes me want to watch RWBY. ;w;
Yea! Though to be honest, Vol. 4 and 5 are pretty weak to me.
MetaKnuxXbeats ikr, but I’m so glad a friend got me into this show
RyleePies skip over volumes 4-5 and watch 6-7 those are really good
No, watch all of it so u can understand the story more, also in volumes 1-3 the animating is trash but the fights are good
@@huh5909 The animation isn't trash, it's the graphics.
Finally! I can complete my playlist
I LOVE IT! Nice work!!
Lambla THANKS! Glad that you enjoy
MetaKnuxXbeats I have a question
MetaKnuxXbeats would you mind taking these visuals and using them as your own if I sent you the file? ua-cam.com/video/3-F5hIKoejQ/v-deo.html
Lambla oh cool. Not sure what that means but that is a cool enhanced version
MetaKnuxXbeats am asking if you would take my video and upload it as your own since you created the audio and I didn't. Dx
Shame to UA-cam that I had to search this pure gem
Well done!
Elina Carmina Thanks!
Wow I love the guitar it really puts it all together
Cant wait to hear this on multiversus
Damn this is so good AHHHHHHHH
Good job this must have took a while to edit
Muffin Thanks! I don’t remember how long it took me but it was honestly not that long. I think the hardest part was to sync up the different versions and slicing each part so it would sound consistent.
champion Ruby wants to battle!
Rwby has some good music to be a tryhard gamer and hitting gym everyday
Best version especially that intro. HARD! 👍✌
Andre McKenzie thanks!
When you have to face an army of clones by yourself: cues music
God the drums are so good
Agree. They went all out with this track
that instrumental plays in to the game omg
If yall like this instrumental you should check out the Orchestral cover it's amazing
0:09
When your friend is beating you in Dragonball Xenoverse 2 and you decide not to fuck around with him any more.
It sounds like a fight scene from Regular Show.
Perfect!
Thanks! There is a better quality version too if you wanna check that out too.
who is here cuz of combat gods?
Ishiwatari version!!!!
Marie Kris Sy lol. Pretty much
COMBAT GODS
Good shit.
DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT THIS IS PRETTY FUCKING G O O D

Can I get this on Amazon music?
No, I don't think so, as far as I know
@@MetaKnuxXbeats awww man ok
WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE THE GUITAR IS SINGING THE LYRICS WTF
• Kinoko Butter • I mixed the instrumental version with the karaoke version.
this is not the complete version
NightBlue3 anyone ? ^3^
This isn’t complete tho? If you play it next to the original song with the buildup, it’s missing a minutes worth of song.
