Every time a cover of Cynthia’s battle theme includes “Approaching Cynthia” in the beginning, a Garchomp gets it’s wings. :’) Great stuff as always!!

[@emeralddragon2980]

Honestly, I can't think of as anything other than "Cynthia's Prelude", because that just sounds more intimidating to me; "Approaching" makes it seem like a normal person, at least to an extent, and there isn't necessarily anything wrong with that, it's just that it's, well, Cynthia. You don't just approach her. This woman is singlehandedly one of the most powerful Champions ever created, and she's very much earned her spot.

I am so proud this finally got a solo remix! You've made this sound more like the original than the 2015 version, which is much appreciated, I love the old version too but I gotta hand it to this new rendition just for how chaotic it sounds now!! I hope this means we'll be getting solo remixes of the other champion themes soon, I've been keeping my hopes up for a solo remix of Lance/Red's Battle theme. If I had to guess what's up next I'd say it's Emerald Hill Zone? If not then maybe something from the 2016 Sonic Medley.

13th struggle, now Cynthias theme.... Covering a lot of my favorites lately! I'm in love with it man. Keep it up! Might i suggest a few others perhaps: Starfox Assault's Version of Star Wolf's theme, a great theme from a suprisingly dark entry in the franchise Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War's classic "Zero" track, a wonderful excuse to play an acoustic guitar honestly FF14's "A Long Fall" from the Shadowbringer DLC, an absolute banger from this quality MMO. There is an "in game" version and a "performed" version by the OG band, moreso referring to the ingame OST version. Anything from Project: Wingman, which just recently saw an orchestral release of its legendary OST Honestly, the boss theme from Shantae Half Genie Hero. I'm pretty sure its the same through all entries in the series, but thats the version i know, and would be badass to see a remake of. Just a few ideas that i can think of
