Lifelight (feat. Casey Lee Williams) - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Full Rock Band Cover

[@aemzso]

I didn't know I needed Casey Lee Williams to sing this until now.

[@tournamentarc9510]

We knew we needed Casey Lee Williams to sing this... I dunno... Maybe ten days ago? We move fast.

[@aquariusrising8314]

@@tournamentarc9510 Wait...You guys did this thing in 10 days? I know Casey is talented but it takes major skills to get a song this polished in that little time!!!!!!

[@tournamentarc9510]

If you check our first cover (Don't Think Twice), that was under 24 hours from when the song was shown for the first time publicly in a trailer! We work FAST when we want to; most of the work on this actually took about a day and a half, and the rest was organization and scheduling availabilities.

[@neolunaticus]

Caseys voice is too perfect for this song.

[@jaune188]

I love how Casey Lee did a cover for Lifelight and Last Suprise. And funny how a Persona 5 character was announced for Ultimate

[@tournamentarc9510]

Fun fact: the producer behind that cover (dchocoa) and this one (Mason Lieberman) went to college together, and are actually in a group chat to this day!

[@BrandonYates]

Illuminati confirmed btw

[@egg1899]

Casey does almost all the RWBY vocals, all of team RWBY is in BBTAG, Persona 4 characters are in BBTAG, Joker got announced for smash. One moment, I need to get Alex Jones on this.

There's skins for some of the SSB characters for RWBY... kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2OwqJWVbNuEa5I As far as I've heard, Ruby is Dark Link, Blake is Sheik, Yang is Ryu, and Weiss is Lucina

Hi

[@angelosims2622]

Has Arnold seen this yet?

[@sillygoose2878]

Holy family friendly word it’s you

[@MrGutzs]

ITS LIKE A RWBYFIED VERSION OF SMASH I LOVE IT

[@Casual_Rojas]

Dude if you could play as a Grimm in Smash and could switch out types (like Beowulf, Ursa, Boarbatusk) and would have different strengths and weaknesses Like Shulk. Ultimate would be Either becoming a Leviathan or Dragon

[@takeshikujo2909]

So basically like Pokémon Trainer, but instead uses beings of darkness instead of Pokémon to do all the fighting. Hell I’d be gamed for it.

[@glitchwarrior7270]

I made a Yang MII fighter the other day. She's so far the best mii I've ever designed.

[@jellex6068]

Casey Lee Williams needs to do more covers of my favorite songs.

[@tournamentarc9510]

Our thoughts exactly.

[@DarkLord-7]

Well in that case, I think she should cover Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts.

[@onedumbgamer9672]

It's amazing to be someone who's essentially followed Casey's vocal performances since the older RvB days and getting to hear how her voice has changed and her talents have grown. She kicks ass as always!

[@VideoGaming4Dummies]

Even Casey Lee Williams herself covered this? That's amazing! I swear, if I didn't know better, I would've easily mistaken it for the opening song of a future RWBY volume! XD

[@KenshiImmortalWolf]

I kind of hope that's something that happens or atleast someone makes a rwby amv with this

[@VideoGaming4Dummies]

@@KenshiImmortalWolf I think 'Lifelight' in general would make an excellent AMV song. Though this cover in particular works well with RWBY, given who's singing this. XD

[@KenshiImmortalWolf]

@@VideoGaming4Dummies Oh yeah obviously, heck when this one got linked a server someone said "reminds me of a rwby song' and i had to laugh and let them know exactly why.

[@monticore1626]

the lyrics aren't quite jeff williams' style of writing

[@rudysarmiento8700]

​@@VideoGaming4Dummiesya I can definitely see how this could work for Rwby, I mean the first line is "colors weave into a spire of flame" and considering Rwby character names are basically color puns that fits well, not mentioning lines such as "every soul contains a whisper of light", "search your soul and reawaken the undying light!", and "rising up as a chorus of souls finds a voice" all tie into a soul - aka aura - theme, it makes it even more fitting even more so for the "search your soul and reawaken the undying light!" line beacuse that could be interpreted as Ruby's silver eyes being undying light.

[@stranker3890]

I told myself I would wait for the original version of Lifelight to be on iTunes, rather than buy any covers. So much for that plan.

[@tournamentarc9510]

Coming out ASAP! Stores are getting it in as we speak; hoping to update people on Twitter (maybe tomorrow?) and in this video's description with some purchase links soon.

[@XONIXSM]

When I heard the original I straight up though that this song needed Casey's voice. Something about her deeper tones and ability to hold out notes just fits this song so well.

[@Suiax]

What is it with Casey Lee Williams??? Everytime she puts her mouth to a microphone, nothing but Majestic, Divine, Mesmerizing, Glorious sounds come out!! Guess this is gonna stuck indefinitely 🤩

[@DeactivatedAccountButpls-pe8wl]

Jeez casey. MY GOSH. You can hear the effort. The passion she has for singing. This girl is someone special.

#LetCaseyVoiceNeo

[@MasterPoppers]

Imo, Neo should remain mute. It forces the animators to convey her thoughts through expression, which is far more interesting.

[@MasterPoppers]

I just realized my first reply is unintentionally insulting Casey, which is unacceptable. What I meant is that I think it would be cool if Casey voiced a character, but I think it is a bad idea to give Neo a voice period.

[@chuckMvideos]

If ever Neo gets one, it must be Casey.

[@MasterPoppers]

[@briantsanchez8726]

I'm shocked I didn't find this earlier. Ironically I went with my sister and her friend to E3 this year, and on the way I was listening back on some RWBY songs, when I heard Lifelight (non-vocal) from the E3 Direct I thought how good it would be to have vocals, a few months later when the full song was released the moment I heard the vocals my head immediately went "Casey...?" as I got hit with a flashback of those memories. TL:DR: Words don't do justice for how I feel seeing and hearing this as I never thought this would become a real thing 😢

[@HyperHunt621]

Despite the sheer impossibility of someone like Ruby (or any of RWBY) getting into Ultimate as DLC, the fact that the Sm4sh modding community got a wealth of RWBY character models modded in with working voices and whatnot, it's only a matter of time before Ultimate likely gets them ported over. And THAT'S when we play this cover in triumph. EDIT: OH MY GOD 1:55 TAKES ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING WHEN ITS COMING FROM A RWBY PERSPECTIVE

[@FullMetalLineage]

This cover is probably one of my favorite ive heard so far to date, and the music mixing is done so damn good, not too much music or vocals, soothing in a way! SO GOOD!!!

[@diannebassett1313]

This is just kickass, I never knew I needed a rock version of this.

[@girlwithoutafairy]

I can't believe I'm just now seeing this. I need this on the RWBY Vol 6 Soundtrack. I know it has little to do with the show but then neither did Cold, All Our Days, or Lusus Natorae (or however it's spelled). God this is a fantastic cover.

[@KevSB07]

Lusus Naturae is the theme for the villain from RWBY Grimm Eclipse and Cold was written as a tribute to a loved character who died in the show as well as to the loved person who died out of the show. (RIP) All Our Days has not much to do with RWBY, honestly. It's from the perspective of Jeff Williams to Casey Lee Williams, as far as I know, however you could apply it to random familial pairings in the show that are loosely detailed. Either way it's an incredible song that is on iTunes to download, just separate from RWBY soundtracks.
