Support NeoGAF

[Magicpaint]

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

💩💩💩

It's hard to tell if a mod changed this because it sums up your usual senseless Nintendo trolling or if you actually posted it. Either way we know you don't like ARMS, no need to shit post in every thread. Quite literally here.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I need lyrics.

 

[Sciz]

Wasn't expecting to hear such heavy Brazilian influence in a game again so soon after Mario & Sonic Rio, but I dig it.

 

[Rodin]

Hate the ohhh vocals, but the rest of the music is actually pretty decent for a Nintendo game. I get sick to death of their usual shitty early 90s-esque MIDI FM-synthesis tunes, so this is a refreshing change.

I'm not sure how to answer to this.

I take it you haven't played a Nintendo game since, maybe...2006?

 

[Speely]

Not positive it's the same guy but have you seen Mario Kart 8's bassist in action???
He's like the Japanese Flea.

I have not, but now I will look him up

 

[brinstar]

this song has literally been looping in my head all morning

am i dying

 

[Zalman]

Been listening to this all day. Instant classic. One day it will be in Smash Bros.

They've been using orchestrated/live music for over a decade now on many of their titles though.

 

[Dantis]

That's actually an okay track.

 

[BorkBork]

It's awfully catchy. Nintendo's been nailing it with the main themes lately. Splatoon. Breath of the Wild. Now ARMS.

 

[Giever]

You guys had me excited to hear it, but I'm just not into it.

 

[CrisKre]

Absolutely love the braziluan influence.

Nailed it.

 

[Pandy]

The theme had already gone from being something I didn't think was very good when I first heard it, to something I found myself singing at work.

The new version in the Direct is amazing. Will be getting the OST for sure.

EDIT:
The moment when it kicked in hard in the Direct felt like a crescendo that had been building since that first trailer. It felt as if they've had this planned since before the initial reveal.

When was the last time they did that that wasn't a remaster of a game from 2005, I mean I know it's not nice to ask a coma victim like that, but questions need to be answered.

 

[takriel]

Sometimes I feel like most posters on GAF don't like fun lol.

This. The fuck is wrong with some people?

 

[Pizza]

Arms is the thing making me want the switch the most

 

[Discomurf]

This reminds me of Daytona 500 in the best possible way.

 

[TheLegendOfCap]

This theme has been stuck in my head since the direct yesterday afternoon. It doesn't help that all the character songs are renditions of it.

I keep catching myself humming the tune as i go about my day lol

 

[Lijik]

Love the Brazilian influence.

Same!!

 

[javadoze]

I thought the initial rendition of the theme in the reveal trailer was pretty average, but now the newest version can't get out of my head.

Ha same

Like thought was ok

Then watching the Direct and looking at the trailer

And I'm like wait this is really good

Then that part hits and I was like OMG this is amazing

 

[de_reddy]

Sounds like some random stock music used by a tv channel airing the Brazil Olympics/World Cup

Just what I was thinking.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Love the music. Its super catchy and unique. The teams at Nintendo are too talented.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

its pretty good, but it could use without the vocals. The Vocals don't ruin it, just feel it would be better without.

 

[DoctorFling]

I really like the NAAA LAAA LAAA NAAA part

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Yeah, that's why I said, I'm not sure this is the final. Even if it is it's awesome.

 

[Tyraniboah]

This theme is 🔥

 

[RAWRferal]

Theme sounds great, very upbeat and hype-inducing. A great fit for a fighting game like this. Love it.

 

[Brodnax]

I'm opening the testpunch just to hear the song. Has that anthem catchiness that soccer songs have, it's great.

 

[FantasticMrSnake]

"So, where are my lyrics?"

"... ah, shit. Just improvise."

there

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I like it, but the Female vocal just oohing and ahing instead of singing a verse and the sports whistles keep me from loving it. Her vocals feel like they would be a stand in until they record the real vocal track. I was really digging it until then.

 

[Waluigilicious]

Just what I was thinking.

I don't think they are "random". They get the job done.

I love the voice, but I always feel like a "never see it coming" is about to come on.

Omg somebody has got to remix that

 

[hydruxo]

Pretty terrible theme. Maybe get rid of the lame vocals and it'd be alright.

 

[ramparter]

... That's the best bit!

Yesh I like girls voice but would like more of the guys.

 

[javac]

Love the music in this game, nintendo generally kills it with the music. Super grandiose and yet fun and upbeat.

 

[Jonneh3003]

I've had the Testpunch up for over an hour now, I can't stop listening to this theme.

 

[Lunar15]

It's a fun track.

I wouldn't say thread worthy, but a good solid track that bodes well for the whole soundtrack. The "Na Na Nah" part gets a big annoying.

It's the Mario Kart Sound Team, no? Not worried at all.

 

[Veal]

This is going to be fantastic at future events live. Crowds chanting this before a grand finals? C'mon son. Some of you seem to have no vision at times!

 

[LotusHD]

I can see it now, it's definitely part of the appeal lol

 

[SuperSah]

Fucking incredible music.

I love all the variations of this theme, it's so DAMN GOOD.

 

[Neptonic]

Sounds like some random stock music used by a tv channel airing the Brazil Olympics/World Cup

That's the best music

 

[zenspider]

It has that Brazilian vibe to it.

Those whistles!

This fits the game so well: vibrant, joyous, festive, pump-up beats without that Street Fighter hard rock "edge" (love SF music but wouldn't be appropriate for a Nintendo fighter).

It sold me on it Jan 12th, just like the Splatoon trailer - you hear it and just get what they're going for. I hope the rest of the OST is this caliber.

 

[B00TE]

I've had the Testpunch up for over an hour now, I can't stop listening to this theme.

that combined with the small bits of gameplay are why I've been keeping it up. Love that it has an attract screen demo.

 

[zenspider]

Hate the ohhh vocals, but the rest of the music is actually pretty decent for a Nintendo game. I get sick to death of their usual shitty early 90s-esque MIDI FM-synthesis tunes, so this is a refreshing change.

Maybe it's how they mix it down, but they've been using live musicians since for a while now. If when you say "90s-esque MIDI FM-synthesis" you mean "videogamey", that's deliberate, and pesonally I find it amazing to those tones and textures achieved with a live band, but I can see how in game it might not seem that way as they don't mixdown for a live effect.

 

[cuate]

Really? come on, if I think its a shitty opinion its only my thought, not facts. Also reading your older posts, you seem to answer people in the same way (if not worse) when you dont like their opinions (yeah, i looked at them after you called me a moron, something that is bannable on GAF). Or may I start going through your older posts to see if its true or not?

yeah but you can keep those thoughts to yourself. calling people's opinions "shitty" simply because you don't agree with them is just rude and unnecesary.

 

[Neiteio]

I listened to this theme for two hours straight while working today. :-O
