Remember when N destroyed the world and Hilda had to reunite her pokemon team after exploring the World of Ruin and then fight him again inside Team Plasma's Castle to save Unova?

[@Donald_the_Potholer]

I thought that Ghetsis struck N down with the power of the Brothers and threw N to his death just before the world was destroyed. IIRC, Pokemon attacks, even if they came from one of the Tao dragons, did not affect Ghetsis when he was standing between the 2 statues.

Why do I feel like this could actually work in Pokemon? Imagine a sort of 'elite four' sort of battle where you first have to battle the seven sages, and then Ghetsis himself at the end? Due to my lack of creativity, and the fact that I've forgotten the personality of most of the sages, I couldn't possibly come up with a team for them each fitting this sort of theme of 'mad with power.'

Dancing Mad is not complete without Kefka's signature laugh!

[@eckitronix]

Kefka and his team of six mega-evolved Arceuses against fourteen random trainers and their teams of normal, standardly evolved pokémon.

[@LittleBabyBlue777]

Dancing Mad is quite the impressive track. It was composed as a way to encompass the sheer madness of Kefka all in one composition as well as the entirety of FF6. Somehow, some way, you've worked some kind of sorcery and managed to make the song function perfectly fine within the confines of a DS game that is no way related to Final Fantasy, let alone FF6. This is an extremely complicated thing to achieve but you did it and I feel that speaks volumes about your talent/taste for music as well as compositions. Thank you for this and I am truly glad it exists. P.S.: That Kefka laugh sound byte was brilliant. It felt completely natural and worked in the sound font like a charm. Imagine if you had a Pokemon fan game structured with Kefka as a boss of an evil team. He leads the whole team on and then ends up executing them via poison all in one fell swoop and then you hear this chilling sound.

[@theiceman4494]

Holy fuck, it took me four years to find this gem??? This is one of the best soundfont remasters of Dancing Mad I've ever heard, and let me tell you why. It's not just a copy paste soundfont thing like what most other people do, which is done more out of a "what would this sound like" curiosity than actual effort. You put your own real spin on it and made it just a little bit unique. It stands out from most others, and I applaud you for that. It really feels like what you'd get if Kefka invaded the world of Gen 5 Pokemon.

That description... Man, you are underestimating yourself. In fact, you have so so many songs made, that proves you are really skilled at this. Underrated, sure. Thinking people dont care or not mattering? Nope. In fact, you have such a variety of songs, that I cannot even recognize half of them so I don't even click them. But let me say that pretty much every song of yours I listened, usually the soundfont swap made the song better, and you did that manually. And even though I don't comment in other songs, I had to in this one because of the description, and because I genuinely think this is better than the original Dancing Mad. These past few days I was searching for a remix to surpass the original dancing mad but I gave up, and to find a better one when I wasn't searching is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one :)

[@DixieChix]

Oh damn, you've certainly have improved a fuckton lmao; I did _not_ expect this to be this good, but ngl, this might definitely be the best B2W2 cover I have heard it's pretty sad how most people don't know how versatile the sound set of both the Gen 5 games are, especially with all the shitty soundfont "MIDI-slap" covers circulating around, but I always thought you handled whatever soundfont you used in a much better manner than most people, and this is probably the perfect song to demonstrate that Also, the way the arrangement was done is also very solid; for the most part, it's very faithful to the style of B2W2's music, and because of that now I'm imagining this in the game but arranged by both Go Ichinose and Hitomi Sato haha You should be more proud of yourself tbh; transcribing and having the skill to make a cover of the entirety of Dancing Mad in this manner was, and still is a very good way to prove yourself as a musician, and it was done wonderfully here IMHO; not many people can do that, just saying :V

I can imagine this being a final battle that takes place as post champion content. The enemy team leader has gathered up the legendaries to destroy the world, and is found and challenged to a battle by the player. The first pokemon would be Giratina, followed by Palkia and Dialga, and the final challenge would be Arceus, holding either a dark or dragon plate to change it's typing.

[@rayzuke1232]

As much as this is in the B2W2 style... I can't help but imagine it as a Raid Boss onslaught were you have 2 Pokemon out at the same time facing the Sinnoh legendary ascending higher and higher. 1st Tier Starts with a Super Form Giratina cloaked in shadow with extremely bloated HP and high stats. Status effects and other cheese strategy's dont work 2nd Tier you face stronger version of the Lake Trio. They are weaker than Giratina but you have to defeat all 3 of them in the same turn otherwise they revive each other. 3rd Tier Is the final Test as you fight both a Super form of Dialga and Palkia at the same time. Both have bloated HP but are a bit weaker then Giratina from the start of the Raid but Status effects won't work again and you have 2 sources of damage coming at you at once. Final Tier is where you fully ascent to the heaven. There bathed in a Brilliant Glow of all colours with incognito passing by you see a massive Pokemon descending down to you. You see the multiple massive Hands similar to Max Eternatus coming out of Arceus back all Glowing in different ethereal colours. Arceus stares you down and the Final fight starts with 1 last message: "Whole Arceus". This time you don't even get to see the HP Bar as Arceus has more HP then all the Pokemon you faced up to this point combined. No cheese Strats are allowed. If a pokemon Stays in for 7 turns it gets oneshoted by Arceus ability. You have to chip away at Whole Arceus for turn after Turn and it will make you use every single Revive, elixier and other healing Items in your possession. In fact it was impossible to even Reach Arceus without Items and everything up until now was a mere warmup for a fight that can last easily 30 minutes.
