    Special thanks to Nathanael Platier for lending his orchestral libraries for the strings!
    Unsurprisingly, there aren't a lot of remixes for Strong One, since the song has a VERY strange time signature (15/8, or 29/16 if you go by the battle version). But weird songs like this are really in my wheelhouse, so I decided to take on the challenge of remixing it for Smashified.
    Artwork for Smashified by Omni Jacala, Andrew Coleman, and Chris Szczesiul

    I really love 2:42, the pianos notes give off a really serious vibe, and then 2:47 the weird sounds from battle against the masked man join in and they're completely disorganised. This entire segment feels like you're idling in a battle unsure of what to do, like maybe feeling tired, getting dizzy, but you can't escape. I really wish I could put into words better how much I love this segment.

    I love this! It's certainly very different from the original strong one... it sounds more... melancholic, I don't know if I am talking sense here. While the original sounded, well, strong, this one (partly because of the inclusion of the final battle's theme) gives some sad vibes, as if the protagonist knew he had to fight his attacker, as he'd be killed otherwise, but doesn't trully want to, as he has a bad feeling about his opponent (which is, actually, just what happens in game).
    Overall, I really like this remix. In fact, I like it better than the original! I'll be watching your work!

    I never cared much for strong one, it was just another theme to me. I didn't dislike it, I just didn't find it appealing. But this version of it (which I can't stop listening to, I have this looping right now and have been listening to it for at least an hour) made me really gain an appreciation for the theme, and now I love it!! Great job!! (Side note: I totally support this getting into the next smash game. This'll make one hell of a fighting theme, maybe some sort of boss battle if they bring a mode like subspace emissary from Brawl into the game. The next smash better have a masked man boss battle at least if we can't get more mother characters to play as)

      I could see the Shield Killer being his neutral special (like Marth shield breaker), the Arm Cannon would probably be his side special (maybe chargable for more shots), his Jetpack would be his recovery, and his Electric Shock (not PK Thunder, he doesn't even use it) would be down special. His final smash would probably be his Intense Lightning attack. That's how I think his moveset should look.

    I would want him or Kumatora as the next Mother character in Smash. Kumatora could possibly be more of a combo character since the game does require you to do some sort of hit combo and she would do that with her fists. She could utilize a variety of PK power, but use it differently. Not sure how, but maybe using her fists.

      It's actually extremely apparent, sure if you're not used to very angular odd time signatures you probably won't be able to tell a difference since you'd probably have a hard time following 29/16 in the first place but a third of a 16th note is a rather sizable chunk of time to be missing. If anything the original version is very strong evidence for why complex irrational time signatures do actually serve a valuable purpose in rhythmic theory.
      Also the actual time signature is 71907/40120 for anyone wondering, which sounds insane but since it doesn't actually contain any 40,120th notes it is quite reasonable for a human to accurately perform with practice.

    • @Musicombo

    • @TheSquareOnes
      @TheSquareOnes 3 роки тому

      @@Musicombo I may have oversold it a bit a couple years ago, but I do think it's quite easy to notice. There is a video with the original looped for half an hour, go listen to that and just drum straight 16ths with your hands. The tempo isn't that fast so even non-drummers shouldn't struggle too much with that and if nothing else it should be fairly clear a lot of the rhythms are not aligning with your 16th note grid, even if their exact rate relative to that grid is difficult to track.
      To be fair I am a math rock drummer (albeit trash-tier) and listen to lots of music with odd time signatures, including simpler irrational ones, on a regular basis. So my baseline for what is easy to perceive in terms of rhythm is definitely going to be different from many, but the feel is so "off" that I absolutely believe most people should be able to pick up on it without an unreasonable amount of effort once they know what to listen for.
      It's similar to quintuplet swing in a way, might require a ton of practice to perform accurately but just about anyone can get into the groove of it almost immediately. This is clearly going in a more extreme, less groove-oriented direction but the core concept of "hey, something very obviously wonky is happening with the note rate" is the same.

      ACHTUALLY the time signature is 71907/40120, or about 28.6/16. If you like math rock you should look into irrational time signatures, rhythms can really go off the deep end when you stop limiting yourself to the traditional 4th, 8th, 16th and 32nd note boundaries and it leads to some very cool patterns.
