"Ace Combat Medley" Acoustic Guitar Cover
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- Arranged and performed by Simon Leong and Alasdair Poon With Ether. This is our musical tribute to the Ace Combat game series and it features various themes from Ace Combat 2, AC4, AC5 and AC Zero.
Originally composed by Keiki Kobayashi, Tetsukazu Nakanishi, Ryuichi Takada, Junichi Nakatsuru, and Hiroshi Okubo.
As with all our videos, this was filmed in one consecutive take and proved quite challenging due to the length and intensity, though still, we hope you enjoy it!

Hello, I'm Kohta Takahashi, one of the composers of Ace Combat 2. What a great performance! !It's so emotional to see two versions of rising high with completely different expressions!!
Thanks so much, Kohta-sensei, we're so glad you enjoyed our interpretation! It feels surreal to get recognised by the creators of the original compositions that inspire us!
Much respect!
@@WithEthertrust me, this is a sign to cover more Ace Combat soundtracks 🙏🙏 love you guys and the legendary composer himself ❤

Hi, we write all of our arrangements by ear first before we write it, so we don't actually have tabs as of yet. If we do get enough requests for certain songs, then we'll be happy to write them for public release. Like this if you want tabs for these two songs!
Have any tabs now? Just asking cause I really want to try and play it!
A tab for zero, or even just chords would be amazing!

so beautiful.....
After reading the comment I imagined all of the aces roaring in their jets as they battled in their own version of heaven ( or Valhalla depends on who you ask). As we may some day too

at 09:00 until 10:00 they looks like having a duel battle of guitar just like in zero
You know what, it _DOES_! :O :D
Here comes the frets!
That's probably the idea they wanted to convey. I mean, for what other reason they would play a flamenco dance style song during a 1x1 duel? IT IS A DANCING DUEL!
It's a masterpiece song, crafted from genius for others to try and recreate. These guys did a great job of capturing the spirit of that song
Agreed, it's not intended as duet, it's a duel
I'm only seeing this now but this is absolutely crazy!
Hats off to you guys 🔥
Thanks Vincent! Always love your epic arrangements myself. - Simon

Ace combat is amazing, because it makes us use our hearts when playing
Absolutely true
I has that "Dark Souls" essence to it
Or shall I say Dark Souls has that Ace Combat Essence?
+GranadaFelish well if we're being technical about it from software made kings field(the first souls like) and armored core I think at least a few years before air combat, so therefore ace combat has that feel

Here comes the snow...
It's starting to come down...
It seems fitting, two dogs like us, fighting one last battle.
Those who survive a long time on the battlefield start to think they're invincible. I bet you do too buddy.
You and I are opposite sides of the same coin. When we face each other, we can finally see our true selves. There may be a resemblance, but we never face the same direction
I think Namco fails to realize how much of a killing they would make if they remastered these games and sold them for 40$
+LordCybot And released them cross platform. I'd buy em.
+LordCybot I'd even pay $60 for a remastered AC5. My favorite by far.
I'd snatch that up real quick. Can't wait for 7 though.
+NZdude fuck Ace Combat assault horizon.....
Nico Ferguson AH wasn't a horrible game in it's own right, but it wasn't the best AC game ever. The only thing that I actually think was truly wrong with it was DFM. DFM was a pain in the arse, and it sucks that it wasn't set in Strangereal with one of those epic stories, but DFM was the big problem.
The way they perfectly strung together the best AC games' best themes is... astonishing.
let not forget the sacrifice of captain davenport! long live the demon of razgriz!

Caution!, Low alttitude PULL UP! PULL UP!
*SHUT THE FUCK UP! I KNOW HOW LOW I AM FLYING!!!*
god damn that annoyed me so much. xD
Daniel Cannata tru that, I always got that warning whenever I try to attack a ground target
Strike Destroy legit. Was the most annoying thing in the world 😬 my sympathies to any real combat pilots that have to listen to that shit while flying the Mach Loop.
I'll never forget that voice from Ace Combat 2... Played that for hours in my grandparent's... We were happy and didn't know it
The "Into The Dusk" part just brings me the shivers, and the memories of a lost wingman... Great playing, and great game series. Still my favorite to this day.
save him some rock records will ya
The cover of First Flight is amazing, I always get hella goosebumps. Same with Zero.
Ace Combat 2015-2016 Next Gen HD Remake Collection of 1-6 would make me the happiest gamer in the world. I would need no other game in my life.
Tuskegee Ace you mean 0 to 6?
The Talent i would pay $100 for that....and i NEVER pay that much for anything game-wise.
3 years old comment is still relevant to this day.

I'd Like this...but it's at 69 likes already and I can't ruin the mojo.
I've lost count of how many times I have watched this video. The way that you guys merge all those songs and the SOUL you guys have put in this video astounds me. I now have another weapon to convince my friends to play the series (mainly zero, because all of my buddies have fallen in love with your rendition of Zero).
Thank you so much for this. It is, by far, my favorite video in the entirety of youtube.
here's hoping!
watching once again in 2015!!! Still an amazing cover after all these years...
That was pretty damn impressive. Loved the rendition of zero. I am a little sad that near the border wasn't included, but other than that, amazing.
Deamons64 Near the border was amazing
I got chills when I heard First Flight!
ROFLcopter I got chills when i heard zero.
I absolutely love this, I'm a huge fan of the PS2 Ace Combat games. I especially love your "Into The Dusk" cover, so beautiful. RIP Chopper. I still choke up when I play that mission. If he were alive (and real *cough*) you'd have done him proud.
Grabacr50 Haha, thanks very much!
I only just played that mission this morning. R.I.P Chopper. That bit messed me up for most of the day, I was trying to concentrate on study but I couldn't lol.
+With Ether This might be a shot in the dark, but did you guys make a tab for this, or was it all by ear? I've been listening to this for years and the ache of wanting to play it myself is real. I'd be willing to pay money for it, even.
Wardog008 And _that_ is the mark of a good game...
No matter what happen, he was still a model pilot 😭😭
This is absolutely magical. Lately I've been just lying down and listening to this with my eyes shut. My imagination goes crazy with me flying jets to the point that all is missing is the g forces.
Möbius One, engage
Nico Ferguson :D
When i heard zero i had flashbacks to the round table with indigo schnee and rot my heart pounded as i shot them all down in my MIG (yes i used the mig 21)
This can be go even more satisfying if you take weed and listen this video from 8 to 9
Hey there, that's all up to how much you want it! What other songs from Ace Combat would you guys like to hear :)
We are still wait on part two! I come back from time to time to listen to this. It's so much appreciated. Thanks greatly for your amazing work!
charge assault please and glacial skies too !
Near the border?
sentry's brunt from ace combat 7 vr
near the border definitely
Came back after finishing Ace Combat 7.
Never fails to give me goosebumps.
Brings back so many childhood memories...
I like how they seamlessly switch off playing lead and rhythm. I play guitar myself, but not nearly this well
Simon and Al, you guys are wonderful.
2 words EPIC and AWESOME
Kouga09 neste dude!
finished Ace Combat 4 and Zero recently. Despite hearing both OST for as long as a year or 2, I can't believe how AC4 and AC2's ost can play along together.
And your cover of Zero had me crying whenever I listened to the medley. It's like Cipher finding his buddy again after the mess as they share one final duel on the strings. Such a beautiful piece, done away from the original's collosal conflict with humanity at risk, now an audio representation of the dynamics between our 2 Aces, best buddy and enemy.
Hiya, tabs and notation are never out of the question! We can always write them for public release as long as there is enough demand for them. Generally the more likes we have for a video the more likely we'll start writing. But please be patient and thanks!
That cover of ZERO made me shed a tear. Bravo guys!
To this day this is the most raw, emotionally driven rendition of the AC soundtrack. Bravo.
*WHY WOULD YOU PLAY INTO THE DUSK?!*
It's a beautiful song, but the memories that come with it...
And to those who don't know when it plays, I'll give you a little hint:
SCREW YOU I DIDN'T WANT TO CRY AGAIN
MOBIUS ONE NOOO
That's why they played it. :P We can never forget Chopper.
no you can't * begins breaking down and crying *
"He was a model fighter pilot to the end" T^T
Well, you earned a sub simply because of your rendition of Comona
wise decision, having that game as your thumbnail. See you....out there....
Daniel Cannata Indeed. See you out there! ;D
We'll meet at... The Centre. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not this year. But someday
TheRazgriz007 when the game becomes what it was supposed to be. :[
my god this is still LEGENDARY after all these years
Awesome. First Flight is one of the best Ace Combat songs EVER.
Still come back to watch this after all these years
My face explodes every time I listen to this.
Mobius 1 approves.
If he existed in our world, most definitely.
Cipher also approves
Into the dusk still make me cry even today. And am 20yrs old now.... ace combat 5... the only game (movie) that managed to make me cry even today
Sry to say this but ace combat 5 has never been a movie
Ten years later and this is still freaking amazing!!
The Zero part was amazing.
How did I JUST find this?! You guys are amazing, and this medley was absolutely brilliant!! "There were no losses, the mission was a success." Beautiful work, you two, absolutely beautiful.
I love how fluidly they move from flying high to the ace combat 4 briefing theme to part 2 of flying high. perfectly done
I listen to this medley at least once a week trying to piece together how to play it. Some day I'll be able to just bust out zero whenever I want lol.
Get familiar with the chord shapes and the rest will come more easily! (Am, G, G/Em, F, G)
@@WithEther Thank you! That will certainly make it easier. You guys are very skilled and I appreciate what you do. Once I figure out this one I'm gonna move on to your monster hunter medley :)
Nice duet, your synchronization is really good!
Ik I 'm kInda late in the party xD
My blood started boiling again just like when I played AC Zero! You guys got another subscriber after this epic display!!!
I'm from the UK so to me it's AC: The Belkan War. It was my first Ace Combat game and by far the best in my opinion. I loved Solo Wing Pixy's character and the music from the game was fantastic. I preferred the music in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon more though since I'm into heavy metal music and such like.
Didn't knew there was a difference in name from US to UK. This franchise is to me one of the reasons I insanely love aircraft and more specifically dogfighting. The PS1-PS2 games felt more of a simulator for me, whereas the new PS3 Assault Horizon (which I currently own) felt like an arcade-like game. I enjoyed the new soundtrack from Assault Horizon as well (I'm pretty much a metalhead as well), but what those guys here have done is PURE MAGIC! It brought me back the happy memories I had with AC Zero/Belkan War. This soundtrack is awesome. It's flamenco, am I correct?
Cheers from another AC Fan from Brazil!
Fernando
I still have my copy of ace combat zero they only thing I haven done yet in it is max out the sorties for all aircraft lol
I don't remember if I managed to do this as well. hahaha
I never bothered maxing out anything. I had my favourite aircraft and flew them exclusively. Mostl the A10, F15 and Tornado
No word can describe this awesomeness. You guys just made me remember the best part of my childhood ;)
The transition from Comona to Rising high was perfect.
Great song suggestions guys! Keep em coming. We've now started planning our second medley! - With Ether OUT!
The best thing from ace combat series is that each one have an amazing story! (besides amazing gameply of course XD)
This is my favorite video on all of UA-cam. It has gotten me out of so many bad moods and shitty feelings. I just turn it on, close my eyes, and I’m dancing with the angels.
Simply amazing. these games, particularly the PS2 titles, defined my childhood, and when you played Into the Dusk from AC5, I actually cried a little. It brought back so many memories from the good old days and I thank you for that

im not sure if you guys actually play Ace Combat....the way you played this....the feeling you put into it.....Id be amazed if you guys didnt play it.....if you dont, you guys have no idea what youre missing.....very few games like ace combat....
Oh I played Ace Combat allright ;) - Simon
+With Ether i thought so. you had way too much soul in this not to. see you at the Round Table
Excuse-me, would you like to have some more quality with your quality sirs?
Men, you two blew my mind with this. Thank you so much! As Daniel says, you put so much intention into this, I really felt it on First Flight, you were literally beating the shit out of your guitars. That was just awesome to hear and watch!
+Alexandre Arrivé you took the words right out of my mouth...... I can feel every bit of the mission in the music, the urgency, the need to haul and kick ass
+With Ether hey Simon, did you beat Ace Combat 4,5, and Zero?
Sees this... Clicks it thinking it's gonna suck for some reason... Then everything I thought I knew exploded in nuclear fire...

"This twisted video needs to be reset" (video starts from zero)
Absolutely amazing.
this is by far one of the most impressive things I've seen
Hi there! Thanks very much
Yes we've thought about it, but it's quite tricky for us to upload onto Niconico Douga. Yes You're more than welcome to re-upload this video there if you would like, just as long as we're still credited in the description! Thanks :)
when you guys played zero... sooo awesome
make me Cry ;)
+Dragon Priest Hevnoorak yea
Yo buddy, still alive?
8:01 **boner intensifies**
Here comes the snow
This is still the most amazing thing I ever heard
Absolutly wonderful
Hey thanks for the comment! I personally love AC3 (props to you guys for translating!), both the game and the soundtrack, the only thing was at the time the music was rather challenging to arrange for acoustic guitar because it lacked distinct melodies and themes, rather it was more progressive electronic and ambient based. Plus we already had requests to include other songs the medley would have been too long! Maybe we'll make an AC3 medley one day once we can translate it into steel strings :)
You damn well they made this video just so they could go fucking apeshit on Zero' s soundtrack. Such great music from that game, and you guys nailed it.
I fukin died laughing when you said "ape shit"
hands down the best compilation I have ever heard. AWESOME WORK!!!
You guys are AWESOME! It was great, really really great! I'm looking forward the next medley!
"We got bogeys at nine o' clock!"
Into the Dusk....just....[sobs]
Agreed, fellow pilot. Razgris forever. Chopper is dancing with the angels.
I crie evry tiem
This brings me tremendous joy.
Ace combat 2 has got to be my favorite game soundtrack from any game of all time. I was really glad to see those songs make it in to this medley. Very nice job guys.
I hope you guys do a revised version for Ace Combat 7
This is sooooo sick!!! Amazing job guys! I loved the Comona cover!!! Was absolutely awesome ^_^
You guys just made my day. What you guys did with Zero was amazing! Can't wait to see more.
Cheers.
Awesome guys!!! I'm really enjoying this masterpiece.
the only Jet fighting game I have ever played was Tom Clancy's hawx 2.....but playing that with the Zero song definitely made it better for me.
Totally worth investing into a PS2 ;). Trust me, much better than any new console.
Still held onto my ps2 solely for this.
Dude....
Play
Ace
Combat!
Its even worth getting a ps and ps2 just for them alone!
Hi there! I'm using an Ovation Elite TX series guitar, I really like it for the percussive tone and bottom end sound. In terms of equipment, this video was very simple, just a ZOOM H4N stereo recorder picking both of us up, I then take the audio and add a bit of EQ and reverb in Garageband. Video was just a sony handycam. Hope this helps!
no better a way to bring back that old vengeance, that we all felt at that horrible moment, than to play zero immediately after into the dusk.....well played, guys....very well played....
I remember watching this in 2012 as a 9-year-old and having the first goosebumps I have ever felt
Hidden internet gold...
FANTASTIC JOB guys!! I recognized all the tracks played, you guys nailed it. Have you guys heard about Ace Combat 7? When it's released I sure hope you guys can play one of its sound tracks
This is simply masterpiece. Listening this medley from end of year 2013 until first hour of year 2014. Simply amazing guys. Keep up the great work ;-) Greetings from Czech Republic :-)
Incredible arrangement and performance! This was so awesome!
8:00 to 12:13 BEST fuckin theme in the hole franchise,fuck yeah!!!
