Lightning Battle - Kid Icarus Uprising

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

Pit: Did you see THAT thunder!? Phosphora: No.. because you cant SEE thunder..

[@Ender41948]

Phosphora responded to that, not Viridi.

[@andrewroyle2847]

'fraid that was Phosphora that said that, not Viridi.

[@foofgam220]

This song does SUCH a good job of capturing the chaos of battle in the beginning, and then it COMPLETELY focuses on Phosphora after a bit. I LOVE that.

[@kip258]

I was so disappointed when I heard Sakurai say he hopes Uprising gets updated for Switch one day, meaning it isn't happening yet. This game is SO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD that it's an absolute crime against humanity not to make an HD re-release!

[@kevinsteevens4468]

It could also be a cheeky hint

[@BeeLy1011]

@@kevinsteevens4468 As much as I'd like it to be, I don't think he could legally do something like that if he were involved with the project due to NDAs and all that

I would adore a Kid Icarus remaster, hell even a port, for Switch, but if that won’t happen I at least hope Sakurai makes a spiritual successor or something

This song slaps so hard, I'm playing it on repeat in the background right now. This entire game's soundtrack is amazing, tho i do have favorites.

[@caiusballad4162]

Same!!!! fits quintessentially the stages various spirits. Also 0:33 the freaking tune and melody that slaps vehemently hard!!! I was playing the game while having crap glimpses of cursed and turpids reminiscence creating inside my body irritable feelings of deserved culpability and frustration, this bomb came out and it slapped legitemly and everaslatingly the communist trash out of it!!! the greco - latin way to destroy the contrario of anamnesis.

[@CapnShades]

You know, we keep complaining about this, but who besides Sakurai would you ever trust to follow up something like this? Even a remake under a different director would lack that insane attention to detail and x-factor that he brings to the table.

[@sticksstickerson]

i've replayed this chapter and just this chapter so many times, never got bored of it, hell even without dialogue this chapter is so memorable

Beginning sequence because the fight and music was so cool

[@zerius6743]

Most of the Kid Icarus: Uprising music especially the Dark Pit air battle theme are so damn good. The electronic guitars in most of the Air & Land battle themes makes those music a banger and slaps real hard. KI:U never dissapoints with their music.

Palutena: Anyway, Pit, just keep after Phosphora and Thanatos. It's great how they're wearing each other like this. I mean, who knows? You may have to fight them both at the same time. Viridi: Well, we all know how THAT would end. Hades: Almost makes you feel pity on Pitty. Thannypoo, are you OK?

[@charlespackowski6620]

Thanatos: Oh yes! I’m just peachy! Palutena: He doesn’t seem peachy. Viridi: That’s because Phosphora combines the depeachifying power and speed of lightning.

Imagine a live action series of this game. Picture this fight scene in the air while the whole sky is fighting eachother. And this music pumps out, imagine aot odm gear like stuff happening but with thunder and lighting and clouds all around. A face off between the commander of nature, the commander of light and the commander of the underworld. With the gods featured in a way that you just hear their audio when they're not physically there. And since it is a comedy too they could technically put in these scenes where they interview them about stuff that happend like often happens in reality show to top the show off.
