*Sora Activates Bowsers Limit Break* Sora: "Hereeee we go!" Bowser: "SHOWWTIMEE!"

[@TheSaoran97441]

Tried to imagine what the combo move would be... It's stupidly easy: Sora would act as one of Bowser's minions, spinning super fast around Bowser who's spinning too. X makes Bowser dash to the ennemy while Sora does a full spin around Bowser, for an extremely large attack (with multihits everywhere). △ Makes Bowser throw Sora over him, and he spits fire on him, with Sora deflecting the fire and making it go haywire all around them. The finisher would be an imitation of the Bros supermove, where Sora somehow throws him so high Firey Cannonball Bowser would destroy the arena with his fall, leaving a perplexed Sora in the aftermath while Bowser smiles with his teeth at him, bringing back home that he is, in fact, a bad guy. If someone can make something better please help xD

[@MichaelBreath7]

Crap, now I'm thinking what the limit would be! It would have some reference to "so long gay bowser"

[@Daltonisntabot]

​​​@@TheSaoran97441No, I think that's pretty accurate. Or possibly it's BOWSER who initiates the attacks, much to Sora's dismay, after all, Bowser's not exactly a good guy and I bet he'd hate Sora's 'We need to help everyone' attitude. He's the Koopa King, Sora should be taking orders FROM HIM! As in, Bowser grabs Sora and throws him towards enemies, wreathing him in fire and Sora bounces between the enemies and Bowser tucks into his shell, punching him around or spinning himself and dealing damage constantly. One makes Bowser spin while covered in fire and he rams into Sora, making him speed up as he loses speed with each bounce, the other is a ground slam, or punch, blasting fire along the area. So, Sora can hot aerial foes, Bowser handles ground foes, but the one where he bounces into Sora can be used for air foes and tou can jump during this Limit. The finisher I can imagine has Bowser grow in size and either yell, making a massive AOE that knocks Sora around, a Giant Punch or breathing fire. I think the punch should work well. After this limit, Sora has 'confused' particie effects before the limkt completely ends and he's back to normal. A lot like Timeless River Pete basically, bonus points in having Bowser laugh after the limit and Sora does an 'Oh... My head...' voice clip.

[@Daltonisntabot]

​@MichaelBreath7 'Giga Flare' probably as the limit name. Or, 'Giga Finale'. Something to do with the Melee cameo I used. 'Ultima Koopa' as in, the Mario 64 soundtrack, but shortened to be like the Final Fantasy spell Ultima. I think the ability name should be Koopa Revolution. Not only a reference to Mario Party, but Revolution means spin (and you do a lot of that). Plus, it's again, Bowser taking the spotlight from Sora as their team attack is named after him in both situations, ability and Limit name.

Can't wait to hear the new Mario Luigi final boss theme and say "yep this sounds just like Kingdom Hearts" Edit: This aged badly, she's not the composer

[@CaptainCFalcon]

​@@AlexxxMYLSince2013I mean, it was only a trailer. The Mario & Luigi series is full of goofy & whimsical music orchestrated by her, but the final bosses have ALWAYS been the one track she's been allowed to go all out on. The normal boss fights also get a little bit of it sometimes.

[@TemplarBlonic]

Of course the Yoko Shimomura tune sounds perfect in the soundfont she made. Brilliant stuff, my dude.

It's almost like she composed it for this soundfont

[@quillion3rdoption]

It's possible she keeps the same soundfont whenever she needs to use MIDI.

[@LoiValdes]

A lot of Mario & Luigi music sound very similar to KH both in composition and instrumentation so she might reuse some instruments

[@sharzinlalebazri5673]

Why did I just today learned that the Mario and Luigi games were also composed by Yoko Shimomura?

[@LoiValdes]

@@sharzinlalebazri5673 I mean, it's kinda obvious Some of the songs are awfully similar. Listen to Antasma Final Battle from Mario and Luigi Dream Team, and then listen to L' Impeto Oscuro from Kingdom Hearts DDD

Man, the part of Pete's Inside Story where Sora and Riku had to fight the Dark Xehanort Core while Pete took on Xepet was a wonderful finale. Bonus for Pete's final KO punch.

[@Zephhi]

the difference in sound quality made it so that I could not identify that both these games had the same composer as a kid lol

[@ghosthuntermike2592]

0:24 With the different instruments, it now sounds like it pays homage to Shrouding Dark Cloud, showing how far Sora has come since the day he woke up in Traverse Town, and then brings you back to the action of the fight.

[@markeyiszra]

Another reason why i love Mario & Luigi RPG,the music. Yoko don't have to go that hard,but she did till the music that meant for Mario and Luigi RPG went to Kingdom Hearts mode. Hopefully she's return for the Borthership and maybe have some of OST that sounds like it's from Kingdom Hearts.

Do you make the background artwork in your videos yourself? Because the artwork is 🔥

Nope, Google is my friend :) I just edit and curate them, sometimes increasing to resolution to fit the videos. This one, as far as I was able to find out, is an official Nomura piece. When it was posted, I'm not sure. Knowing him, it's likely from Twitter.

[@deathhawk7019]

@Neo-Midgar ok thanks 😊

Should’ve been the 3DS remake’s theme. Much more like the OG.

[@Neo-Midgar]

@@michaelwhite8586 This is made from the DS version, which is the original.

[@michaelwhite8586]

@ sorry I should’ve been clearer: I know that, but I meant that your theme rendition should’ve been what they used in the 3DS remake, and not the one they actually used - that one had missed potential. 😅

[@kingleonidas2182]

You’re telling me this wasn’t already in the game?

@MichaelBreath7 Tetsuya Nomura

[@Light-vb3sk]

[@stallionsLP]

Is there a way we can get this soundfont for ourselves to try out? I'd dig trying it out for fun.

[@Neo-Midgar]

It used to be available online. But I think the links are dead, and the 'font' is absolutely massive. Each song has its own font, resulting in hundreds of instruments across multiple GBs. Plus, I have a personal policy of not sharing files that haven't been transformed or altered in some way. Copyright law is a tricky business, and I'd hate to have any repercussions for my channel. Apologies. It's pretty easy to rip them yourself though. All you need is the game's PSF2 music files and the VGMTrans program. All you do is drop the music file in there, then you can rip the font and MIDI yourself.

[@masteraarron]

A 3rd version? Wasn't expecting that. What's added or removed in favor?

[@Neo-Midgar]

Mostly just far better mixing techniques for a clearer & more dynamic mix. Some instruments have also been changed for more suitable ones from different songs. Every song in KH2 has it's own font, with differing qualities to the instruments, so it's a lot of trial and error finding the best suited to a remix. The most obviously different one here is the synth lead, but everything has been tweaked.

[@masteraarron]

@@Neo-Midgar I see. Well, I think I prefer the second version more. Not that this attempt was inferior, but I think the reverb was better in that one. Also, kinda fitting to release this just as they announced another Mario & Luigi game. lol

[@gamemasterempier]

You know, I always thought this OST would be totally at home in a Kingdom Hearts and/or Final Fantasy title And just when I'm musing about this very thought, I come across this absolute banger of a remake, which perfectly validates and confirms my thoughts Ironically, this came immediately following my criticism of the official remake for the 3ds remake of the game, and how I'll always prefer the original over any remake 😂

[@oneandonlygooballmekk]

is that official art? if not, where do i find it

[@Neo-Midgar]

As far as I've been able to find, it's an official Nomura piece from the last few years. No idea where it's sourced from, though. I just found it thru a google search.

[@oneandonlygooballmekk]

ah, thank you
