A Stranger I Remain (Avec L'Amour Mix)

[@deathbykonami5487]

Every Desperado member that Raiden defeats helps him find his true self: Solidus tried to turn him into a perfect killer that would further his ambitions, The Patriots tried to turn him into another Solid Snake that they could control, but Solid Snake nipped that in the bud, Unsure of his true purpose, he adopted Solid Snake's "tool of justice" philosophy, but after meeting and defeating the members of Desperado, Raiden now knows who he truly he is: He's still a killer but unlike when he was Jack the Ripper, he doesn't kill for pleasure and he doesn't kill for anyone else's ambitions. Like Solid Snake, he kills so others won't have to; he soils his own hands with blood so that the ones who responsible for building the world anew free from the patriots' influence can still have clean hands ("One Blade keeps another in the Sheath"). So any asshat who wants to cause chaos and wreak havoc, better keep their eyes peeled for lightning. If it's innocents they wish to attack, they better watch out cause "Jack is Back"!!!

[@phashift9364]

***** Yeah all of the winds of destruction's have really good fights, but that all depends on how you look at them. I like Mistral a lot because of how much the fight area changes. Sundowner seemed like the big villain early on and his fights fairly climactic, better than some final bosses. Monsoon is just fun to fight with me.

I just realized how stupid my above post actually is.

So it took me longer to realize this than it should have: You took the piano out of the mid-section when the vocals first come in. Kinda miffed at first, until I heard how much more furious the song actually sounds without it. Nice trick for adding contrast. :)

[@MonoChromium]

NickNiccelson Yep, the original version of this track actually doesn't have the piano in that section of the song. It was a little jarring for me as well when I first mixed it, but the more I listened to it, the more I liked it, so it made it into the final cut. :)

[@Freezeblow]

Man everyone really loves this game XD One of my friends got it for PC, and he wouldnt stop chopping things into too many pieces. I literally told him to stop during a boss fight (with some magnetic limbs dude) and he said "NO, IM GOING FOR 500 PIECES!!!" He got to 500 something, but then the APC he was slashing disappeared; but left the explosion. For about 30 seconds his game dropped to 1 FPS and the explosion stayed on screen. I also need to catch you on Showdown :D I DEMAND SATISFACTION *once I find a replacement for stall Chansey.....she's too OP for UU and everyone thinks she needs to be buffed to at least OU (screw Borderline 1)*

[@MonoChromium]

Christ, I've never gotten anywhere near that number, lol. I've gotten to maybe 200 before, but only because I kept missing the Zandatsu. xD Yeah, definitely! I haven't been playing much UU lately, to be honest, but let me know when you've got that replacement together (Florges, maybe? I dunno, lol), I'll be glad to battle you. :D
