« on: September 27, 2009, 07:12:18 AM »Even the arranged version for the disc-based ports?
If you mean the Saturn version, I will say that the Saturn X3 Boss Theme is indeed better than the SNES version Boss Theme. So is the Boss 1/Boss Intro theme as well.....although it's actually longer than the actual boss theme....

« on: September 27, 2009, 06:20:52 AM »Yeah, and Brawl refers to Crystal Flash as Power Suit Samus.
Although in all fairness I didn't take that close a look at the X1-6 track list (I do have it lying around somewhere), so that was a good point.
Haha, move names & soundtrack listing are two completely different things.

Well, that's what I think of X5's.
But, as said by others, I don't think a boss theme necessarily needs to go anywhere. X3's is repetitive, and that's why I kicked it down lower (I hate X8's second part, too, so X2 is the only "dignified" theme that X3's outclasses in my book), but it is hard-rocking enough that it gets the blood pumping. That, to me, is critical for a good fight theme (why do you think I'm so obsessed with Live And Learn in Smash?).
LoL, as I said, I can understand the dislike for X5's Theme.
X3's boss music was just terrible, especially when you compare it to...hell, just the SNES ones. It doesn't even have any kind of good opening, it comes in at a pathetically 10 seconds of shortitude before looping, and is clearly a rush job when you compare it to the other SNES X games, both of which are double the size of the track. Hell, to even bring up Live & Learn while trying to talk about X3's Boss Theme is mind blowing. If you just take the opening 10 seconds of Live & Learn and loop it, it's still a better boss theme than X3's. X3's Boss Theme has little to no drum work at all, and the BOSS 1 theme has better guitar work. To me, there is absolutely nothing "hard-rocking" about the theme at all.

X / Re: X8. I didnt like it all that much.
« on: September 26, 2009, 06:28:50 AM »The problem is that ship already sailed because they re-used it as the second Stage Select theme, and for the Zero Virus reveal cutscene. The tune is repetitive enough in itself, so I really feel that was uncalled for. Nor do I feel the extra bit for stage BGM contributed any to the atmosphere.
Oh, I'm not fully defending the Zero Stage 1 song. I agree with you on that part. Even so, the Final Stage music for X4 does absolutely nothing for me. Especially if you compare it to the SNES tracks, Gate's Theme, Jacob, RAVE ZERO STAGE 2, and so on!
Quote
Call me nitpicky, but I don't consider that Zero Virus music. I consider that Sigma music.
Hey, it says ZERO STAGE 2 on my X1-X6 Collection Soundtrack, so that's what I call it!
Quote
My personal opinion, so far as generic boss themes go:
X8 (first part)>X1>X7>X6>X4>X3>X2>X8 (second part)>X5
X5's is just entirely too screechy for me to consider it good fight music. If it was the villain making a speech, maybe...
Wow. You rate X3's boss theme a LOT higher than I do, as I think it's the worst...in possibly all of MM. It goes absolutely nowhere. And as I said, I can fully understand why people don't like X5's boss theme. I just love the technological bizarre-ness of it.
Quote
As for Zero, the "needs to be deeper" shpiel is what I think of X3's. Pretty much every other Zero theme we've ever heard IS deeper, so X3's comes off as unfitting to me. Heroic, sure, but it just sounds like it should belong to a different character. Darkesword's Beamsaber Beat helped me warm up to it a little better, but I still think that most any other Zero theme is superior (granted I also don't think that's saying a lot as pretty much every Zero theme kicks ass).
I think X3's is the best because of the heroism behind it, plus it's fantastic intro and great drum & guitar work throughout it. It the same reason I like X1's a lot (both the Heroic intro & the soft "One day you'll be as powerful as me" arrogant theme), along with X4's. X5's Opening Zero theme sounds like they were going for a whole "mysterious" type vibe to it, which works for the game, but overall not one of my favorites. And again, X2's is fantastic, but it just sounds way too boss battle-ish, and it doesn't even last that long. It's done in 15 seconds before the loop starts up again. LoL, but you and I have been over this in many a topic, and it's clear we're getting nowhere!
I'll do it.

« on: September 26, 2009, 06:10:15 AM »They did not have default walking and dashing saber attacks. Or proper air-dash momentum. And it took us until ZX before we ever saw all three of those in the same title again.
But, they did have a Dash Button. This is my point. The stuff you mentioned never bothered me in the slightest. Not having a dash button did. "Classic MM Sliding" obviously didn't bother you, but I didn't like it at all. If they re-released the game as a DSi download or in a MM Mania Collection (Again Capcom, PLEASE MAKE THIS), I'd happily play Xtreme 2. Not Xtreme 1, as I'd simply go and play X1 & X2 again for the exact same level designs.

X / Re: X8. I didnt like it all that much.
« on: September 26, 2009, 06:00:16 AM »I resent that. X's X4 theme is among the best, with only Command Mission and X2 being in the same league. Zero's is pretty solid as well. Beats the hell out of X3's.
X4's X theme isn't terrible. I'm not saying it is. However, it takes a whole 29 seconds for it to get to the good part of the song. The beginning 30 seconds sounds like a high pitched kid whining. After that, it's pretty good. But the SNES series tracks start off [tornado fang]ing awesome, and continue that way.
And I like X4 Zero's theme, but I agree with what Aido said earlier above about if it were deeper, it would've been better. LoL, and it doesn't even come close to being better than X3's, the best Zero theme there is.
Quote
Not as bad as Zero Virus stages.
Between that, X, and positively horrendous standard boss theme, it's very tempting for me to dismiss X5 as the worst main-series soundtrack. But it has a lot of redeeming points. Awesome Sigma, Zero, and special boss themes, and two SNES remixes. "First half" of the stage themes (though I detest the fact that I can describe X5's stages that way) is all-around good, too.
A lot worse than Zero Virus stages. Even though Zero Stage 1 is pretty bland in itself, it still sets the mood a lot better than the X4 Final Stages. LoL, and there is NOTHING bland about RAVE ZERO STAGE 2 music.
Regarding X5's Boss Theme, that I can totally understand people not liking, even though it's one of my personal all time favorites, due to the bizarre nature to it. However, X4 had one of the worst boss themes in the X series, IMO.
And again, I'm not saying I don't like X4's Soundtrack. I like a lot of the stage music. IMO, it's one of my least favorite.

« on: September 26, 2009, 05:43:18 AM »Explain how assigning Classic-series slide commands to dash constitutes a "god awful control scheme". Damn better job than MM&B did of coping with button loss.
The game still controls better than PS1.
LoL, I'm not that fond of MM&B either.
Haha, and what are you talking about? X4 & X5 had a Dash Button. I'd say X6 too, but I still haven't played it yet!
And again, it's a downgrade of X series control scheme. I hated double tapping dashing, and I hated "Classic MM Sliding" on walls to dash off of them. Double tap dashing is for Turtles In Time, not X.

Agreed, to each his own. X8 had a few flaws to it's stage songs, but overall I thought it was a fantastic soundtrack. Hell, I think Jacob is one of Capcom's crowning achievements in terms of stage music.
See, there's another problem I had with X4's music too; the Final Stages. They. Are. So. Bland.

X4's soundtrack was just way too high pitched for my own tastes, especially compared to the SNES soundtracks. Both X & Zero's opening themes are not even close to being as awesome as their opening themes from the SNES X games.
Don't get me wrong. I do like the X4 soundtrack. But compared to the other X series games, I think it's one of the weakest.
