I tried to recreate Battle Against a True Hero from memory

[@Shadycicada]

Y'all aren't ready for the Dog Song one. I just remembered how that one went : ) (Thank you for all the lovely comments and support! Have a lovely New Years and be safe!)

[@aaliyahsapien4392]

You should post the uncut stream!

[@punk7002]

I'm going to be honest, if there was a full length version, I would add it to my undertale songs playlist

[@punk7002]

or at least one without the intro

"The Undertale OST recreated from memory under strict time limits" is my favorite series :)

[@twilightfuntime6631]

Same

[@FireheadLazzo]

Totally agree, but as a single song, I think SA2's City Escape from memory would go crazy

[@dendenvini604]

2:05 I don't wanna proceed (snow grave!!!????

[@myla2495]

Im only here first time but i can already agree that it's now my fav too

[@PixelirPlus]

I don’t know what’s scarier, the fact he nearly re created the entire song flawlessly, or the fact he uses light mode on Twitch

[@yeah1522]

"flawlessly"

[@notxenon14]

@@yeah1522 what? It's correct.

[@regulargoat7259]

@@yeah1522 readinng comprehension seems to be down. The key word here is "nearly". NEARLY flawlessly, as in still having some flaws

[@MarkMichael69]

i agree

[@trajectoryunown]

@@notxenon14 It's passable, and he's got the major points. What's crazy to me is how his memory of the song overpowers his natural inclination to build on what he transcribed. Instead, we see him his memory reset him in a positive direction at every major transition. Wrong note, wrong timing here or there, but he kept it going. It's just as much a testament to Toby's prowess as a composer as it is to his DETERMINATION.

Shady has become the first person in history to successfully tune a fish.

I love that bass

5:36 Dude the chorus is actually so fire that's super impressive!

[@pholidia8175]

Genuinely prefer it to the original I think :p Those guitar layers make the mix feel so much more full

[@JonnZth]

Holy, this one ended up insanely close for a 'from memory' song. And the guitars made it sound actually better(imo) then the og song in some parts Great work, Shady, as always

[@redknight07_]

No it wasnt better, but it sounded like a remix

[@Toasterbeing]

@@redknight07_that’s what I thought

[@micahhershey311]

​@@redknight07_ agreed

[@StarrLights]

THE PART AT 5:36 GOES SO HARD THO this song was so made for guitars dude

[@Lorraine202]

1:20 The vine boom followed by “who ARE You I DONT KNOW you! 😭😭😭” is killing me.

[@emmanuelcamilorojasrodrigu3405]

Bobby Hill ahh behavior

[@dunkindayn]

This feels like a late christmas present

[@KSKY2012]

This sounds like a beta version of Battle Against a True Hero and I mean that as a compliment, it sounds really close to the OG while also sounding like a remix, that's so impressive!

[@stray1239]

How could you forget the TRUMPETS! The trumpet part was actually really good though

[@prysmatica]

THE ZUNPETS!!!

[@TheLawlessRogue]

THE TRUMPETS, or the little tambourine?? During the piano interlude. The shake always made me feel incredible

[@Yecze]

As a trumpet player that’s definitely not a trumpet XD

[@LVSTalksToYou]

Hearing someone do this good of a job from memory... It fills me with... Determination.

[@LilyCat2399]

5:36 onwards is pitch perfect! You got it! In fact that section onwards is the best of your recreation under 30 minutes of a track that i've heard.

[@ryanmccampbell7]

I love how deeply ingrained in the collective video game memory this soundtrack is that you can create it almost perfectly from memory so effortlessly and even I, who can't play any instruments, can tell how accurate it is (I think there were only one or two deviations from the original melody).

[@feroxino1051]

Genuinely only two off-keys I can point out because they DO sting but still good nonetheless

[@bananabread427]

Recreating this song in under 30 minutes and getting such an accurate result is crazy, you're him

[@Cardinal_T_R_K]

Bro heard the correct notes and immediately locked in. This song is a banger, and I can't wait to hear a full cover from you shady!

[@ciennathedreemurr]

DUDE THE FINAL SECTION GOES SO HARD If BAATH ever appears in Deltarune, it NEEDS guitars

[@TONGA09]

this is epic some parts were missing but considering this was made just by memory is truly impressive keep it up dude

[@were-hogisgood9073]

I loved this, normally he just tries to recreate it 1 to 1, but I loved that he remixed it

[@snezzzz]

ok, iodine is WILD

[@UnderworldArtist]

Okay you actually popped off for this one, this is my favorite song from UT and you NAILED it

[@petfriendamy]

Actually fire. Would love to hear a proper cover of this!

[@Metridvania_Random]

1:35 we might get time for guitar? -Figures out a Castelvania metal remix

[@solairefan5420]

What the hell the beginning and the final section are actually REALLY good, the middle part needs some adjusting but tbh you could actually make this an official cover

[@aballisticninja29]

Another amazing recreation from memory! I always love the emotional roller coaster you seem to go through, and the editing never fails to entertain lmao We’ll always let you get away with making bangers man

[@skytiburon]

Genuinely so good that it just feels like a straight up cover

[@CubeHeadd]

That drop at 5:35 is absolutely FIRE 🔥🔥🔥

[@moscowmodder-w8l]

Wow... this has got to be the best from-memory cover I've heard yet. It's also the song that got me interested in Undertale back when it came out, so bonus points for that!

[@srrycantthinkofagoodname]

Man you cooked so hard on this one, definitely one of the most impressive of your recreating from memory attempts

[@georgeok4582]

This goes fire!! It sounds more like a deliberate remix than something done from memory

[@astronights]

mr. cicada this one is your best recreation from memory so far. that guitar is exquisite. its beautiful

[@uaviu1122]

1:37 Dude started playing bloody tears.

[@ZackRyosuke]

This feels like a metal remix. I LOVE IT HELL YEAH

[@djferon3395]

Love new Cicada videos, this is actually one of the few songs I still know how to play on piano and it's so cool hearing your variation. You're goated bro!

[@spikeabug]

Bro fell on

[@C-Dubbs-z1t]

this is better than the og

[@RyderHarden-v9b]

Cap

[@RyderHarden-v9b]

But it still good

[@KengthePotato]

@RyderHarden-v9b heya, listen to this first. 5:36

[@TRMofYT]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE! Being a musician myself, the classic elements with the heavier guitar are incredible.

[@luna4s]

The chaotic energy as you rush to finish the song and the final result being so damn good is so fun to watch. I really need to make it to one of the streams again. Probably next year though...

[@TeltroAnimations]

Did he just make it better? How the heck-

[@techneexa7066]

This is not Battle Against a True Hero, but a whole nother masterpiece.

[@mindfuljosh]

Bro got PTSD from a window 😭

[@Shadycicada]

Its aura was too intense :'D

[@varkboys9999]

Not me always watching these videos as soon as they come out just on the off chance that Shady fricken nails it and KZbin has to take it down because of copyright

[@SP8CEVR187]

yo this song is sick as hell i would actualy listen to this all the time

[@blivveries]

As someone with perfect pitch, not being able to remember the notes to one of my favorite songs in a reasonable amount of time would _kill_ me. Heck, just struggling with the _first_ note of a song would kill me.

[@VortekTheUnfunny]

Yo this actually went pretty well, the guitars made the song even better

Im so glad you're still posting. I just recently got back into this channel after a couple of years. I still listen to a lot of your older songs almost every day. Soulless Cacophony is by far my favorite

[@Pretzels-h]

4:26 i love how the song starts AS SOON as someone says "save us KZbin"

[@Wolf_Blob]

Okay this is fire, full song now on Spotify pls.

[@PepperNJack]

This always makes me so happy to watch ^^ It sounded amazing!! :D

[@Shadycicada]

Thank you so much for the kind words ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@georgekirbmoment]

The fact this remix was made in 30 minutes from memory, yet I still listen to it like a regular song, says a lot about how well this one went.

[@Solar_Symphony]

Thank you Twitch chat me for reminding myself to comment on the KZbin video. (Gee, I was talkative that evening). Absolutely fantastic job, Shady! This made me chuckle multiple times with many fond smiles!

[@River-0G]

you did great and I would love to hear an actual cover someday but for now stay chill really looking forward to whatever you teased at the end 🙂

[@Happyworldshark]

I love how at the end chat wws jsur saying sruff like "save us youtube! We're locked in a cell at-" >a bunch of lil guys< "hello youtube"

[@asdffdas254]

2:58 Excuse me, what does "Standard Neo-Classical" mean in this context?

[@shinysamurott613]

This cover actually goes so hard, it's especially crazy for a 30 min recreation from memory

[@fuhbree]

For being from memory, this is insanely good & the guitars hit like MSG in a Sunday dinner. You got the essence of the song down to a T, it's just some minor things (like that little bass, the bells in the beginning, and that one off-note in the pre-chorus) I'm already subbed, but I would do it twice if I could. Thanks for the video!

[@kdevelopergw]

seeing undertale content always brings me so much nostalgia fire cover as always, mr. shady

[@Overdramaticbaddie]

Bro left no crumbs with this one, Toby Fox should hire him

[@braydenbanks4228]

nah man thats “brawling against the actual saviors”

I hate how good this is, and I’m so unbelievably jealous that I can’t do anything close to this even though I’m a composer

Hearing the drums in the cover, I kind of want to see a Sonic crossover with Undertale now so we can hear this as the level theme for an area a Metal Undyne is the boss of.

[@Paunina12]

You are amazing! I totally love it . Saludos desde Chile, me alegra haber encontrado tu canal!
