Advance Wars Reboot Camp OST - Jess's Theme

[@Ennbeard]

"The pencil is mightier than the sword." - Jess, before shooting said "pencil" out of a tank.

I guess the pencil in tank's blueprints than just increasing tank's caliber

I love how the Tank shell she carries is EVEN BIGGER in her new artwork, this lady is fucking shredded

[@ousha5011]

And in her co power animation she tosses it in the air and catches this massive tank shell like it's nothing.

[@luminozero]

I like that you can actually tell that is a tank shell she's holding, and not a giant pencil.

[@Poo_Brain_Horse]

It was always pretty clear it was a tank shell.

And you can actually tell she's a girl, in the original game I had NO idea she was a girl until I got to her stages

@@stomper1232 She obviously had breasts and a girl name. How stupid are you people.

The fact that she isnt holding a fuel canister anymore means she is VOLUNTARILY holding the tank shell with one arm XD

She's not overcompensating, she's actually that much tougher than everyone else.

THE INDUSTRIAL MILITARY COMPLEX my beloved

[@KingExalted]

My favorite CO theme! I’m happy they kept the Industrial work sounds, gives it a Factory kind of vibe

[@randomyoshi]

Jess's Theme was one of my favorite music in AW2. I love the remix in this game.

[@chillnagasden6190]

Gives me Red Alert vibes. That's a good point in my book ~

[@ThunderFlarz]

I thought I wouldn't find a better version than in Dual Strike but this is hitting all the right notes.

When she uses turbo charge you address her as ma'am instead of Jess and when she pops overdrive you call her *mommy*

[@F-22c]

Yes ma'am

[@faxmachine1162]

Jess looks so much different, but she's still my fave. No one carries a tank shell (or artillery) like she does!

[@realenew]

it used to be a giant pencil

[@ArchangelG2000]

@@realenew Not in the GBA version I played, but people used to mistake her shell to a pencil all the time.

This brought a tear to my eye. I love this reboot!

[@hex__x]

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAA BABY!!!! Jess theme always has been my absolute favorite from the franchise. This version sounds so clean and the scratches with the drums are on point. Perhaps the main melody sounds a bit weird tho. The musical elements such as the bass and guitars are less powerful compared to the Dual Strike version

[@Hilipinapixili]

The main melody is all dominated by the same guitar, making it sound way more flat than before. It's the main reason I'm actually not a fan of this one despite it being one of my favorite themes in the originals.

[@Aleph3575]

@@Hilipinapixili Agreed, this is one of the themes that got worse in the remake.

[@TheCryogoose]

Could not agree more

[@mikidelasislas]

I wish the guitars were at the forefront more like in the DS. The drums were a bit too overpowering and kinda drown out her theme, but it's not something an equalizer could fix imo. Still better than the GBA version if you ask me.

[@Aleph3575]

@@mikidelasislas I think the mixing is just bad. Take the last part of the song where the synth and the guitars play the same riff. In the original, you could clearly hear both instruments AND the bass during this outro. Here you can only really hear the synth and the disk scratches, and the bass is almost completely absent. In fact, I'd argue the bass being toned so far down is what really hurts this version. In the original, the bass really thumps. That dude is jamming on that bitch and practically soloing during the entire middle of the song when the song goes into that lull. During the intro, it almost sounds like there's two basses playing. in this version, the bass is conspicuously absent, and the drums aren't as loud. In exchange, the synth and the disc scratches take over and the song just has less energy as a result. I suppose that its fitting for Jess, who isn't a great CO in AW2, one of the worst depending on who you ask actually, that her remake theme is kind of a letdown. Similar to how Jess' D2D powers really let her down compared to her CO Powers which are bonkers and, as we would see in DS, would be broken with only small changes.

[@e.corellius4495]

i low key hope that in another 20 years when we get the remake of the remake that her tank shell gets even bigger again.

[@airam1721]

The start up is just too good. I guess that's why many people wanted to see it

[@Raziel_HHL]

might be my favourite theme in the entire rework, throwing a shit ton of tanks at the enemy never felt better

[@Hilipinapixili]

Hmmm... Dunno about this one. Starts really good, but I feel like it fizzles out a bit as it gets to the end compared to the original.

[@kurtmatteson4914]

This is the one I was waiting for!

[@JuroJack]

If each CO theme had an alternate title, I am pretty sure this one would be “Maiden of Metal”. It was really hard not to start head banging when the melody first kicked in. Holy fuck I love this!

[@theolanderdilag3872]

Tbh this remix is the only one that I heard still uses the majority of the original soundfonts same as Lash, so it's really close

[@robinHobin]

They have the og industrial opening sound in the beginning lol

[@SuperiorAmericanGuy]

Fighting tanks with tanks with Jess is suicide. Just either get long range units or bombers to beat her. Also her CO Powers make her mega tanks rearmed and ready to kill tanks in one shot again and again.

'' Its called Green Earth for a reason. It means terra firma, the grass under our boots. Eagle wants to fly over it, Drake likes sailing around it. Thats not me, I go right across it, and if needs be, right trough you! '' *Jess, CO, Green Earth*

[@Rexaura888]

I appreciate that they went more on the industrial aspect since in the GBA and DS versions they drop it after the guitars really get going, but I do wish the guitars and bass were a bit more prevalent as they were in DS. Still overall an improvement over the OG which I think is the weakest version of the three with its guitar.

[@harvtehmarv]

This rip is so much better than the others thank god the balance is better here

[@OchetteLeryon-kr6gp]

back then i thought she was carrying a huge pencil. turns out it was a shell of some sorts 🤯

[@racer927]

I remarked that Jess' theme sounds like it'd be out of Red Alert, the new track sounds like something out of Red Alert 2 since it sounds a bit more urban.

[@demynemy7428]

Dual strike version sounds more refined and the build up at the beginning is awesome, still a decent remix

[@Tman2bard]

Okay, so the guitar sounds better on this vid. Its still not as forefront as it should be, but I can vibe with this one more

[@Yinlock470]

kinda sad that they leaned more into a trance mix than the factory rock of the original it's still not BAD, mind you

[@Monsuco]

I love Jess's theme. It sounds so industrial. I just hope we get a Dual Strike DLC. Jess was kinda bad in AW2 because her infantry are weaker and that makes fighting over caps hard but she was amazing in Dual Strike.

[@CrabclawBCEN]

This theme goes hard. It's personally second to Andy, but it's friggin' METAL.

Jess' theme but her industrial military complex has adopted CAD, 3D printers, and robots (still cool, but very different feel)

[@SIFAssassin]

Always really liked Jess. Just wish she was better in AW2.

[@clownplayer7265]

Jess looks fairly sticky for someone being capable of lifting and spinning a fucking tank shell by herself. Fanartist would give her a hidden six pack or something.

[@bruhchannel1216]

wher her briefcase?.....

[@yoshifan2334]

Not a fan of the synths used for the intro melody, but the supporting guitars are top notch.

[@Aleph3575]

Yeah the bass riff was soo much better in the original, not to mention the disc scratches ugh. Edit: The disk scratches were always there, but I have to come back to the bass guitar being toned out so much. In the original the scratches really added that industrial undertone and lined up really well with the bass solo goin on at the same time, but in the remake, the bass is almost completely replaced by synth instead and the scratches are just upfront and center and it blows.

[@MrSoopSA]

I feel the opposite; the highly Kraftwerk-like synth beat at the start is my favorite part of the track now.

[@fgc_roofer_07]

[@TheTrueAdept]

Well, after Sensei, sure. ;)

[@mauricioalvarezpino1818]

To throw it I guess

[@Stump85]

Because it looks cool I guess? I mean, I guess if I could carry a tank shell around for a little while I would.

[@confidentbottle]

Her original art had her carrying both a tank shell and a jerry can (she still has the Jerry can in her CO power animation), kinda implies that she's the sort of CO who doesn't consider herself to be above the soldiers she commands and is willing to get her own hands dirty and help out with tasks like resupplying vehicles etc. Also it makes her look hot. Women carrying heavy objects with ease is hot.

[@velvetdraws3452]

she went from pencil to pen

[@frankhorrigan1508]

evem though i love this rendition of her theme i still can't get over the fact they made her face too manly. Still, my favorite CO from the series, tanks rule.

unfortunately not a great remix but its still a good theme. The notes are a bit off and I miss the crunchy GBA speakers.

I don't really like what they did with her theme in the Reboot Camp. If you really want to hear a banger Jess theme cover, check out qwertyGUY's rendition of it.

[@timepatroltrunks8276]

[@sifarid4502]

I don't know how to describe it, but the original AW GBA theme has this many kind of "mechanical" sounds to it, the most prominent is Jess, but the reboot definetly made that vibe gone. Man, even though Jess theme is one of the best back in the OG... the new one sucks...

[@JackSparm]

Yeah, it was a giga banger in the GBA version, I found this version...meeeeeh, not even very good

[@qingcao7514]

Disappointed, the DS version is like caged beast, constraining then breaking out. The new remix did not reach the level.

[@sleeper2399]

The Bass slap sound is kinda weak. It's still good, but I prefer the AW2 and Dual Strike theme of her.

[@Gaos031]

hmmm... i prefer the old one, It doesn't have that "industrial" music vibe and it doesn't have the drop that goes from electro music to electric guitars.

0:43 Why does it sound off-key? I hate to say it but I don't really like this remix, which is a shame because Reboot Camp's soundtrack is otherwise amazing

[@TheCryogoose]

It is not off key it's a different combination of notes playing altogether. If you are familiar with music I can explain here. Original goes fa do re and this one goes do re re. It's glaring to me because it lacks the flare the original had

[@TheCryogoose]

0:51 here there is also clearly a note missing to the original music script. Sol is missing in this combination of notes. The worst thing about it is it does it correctly a few seconds prior
