Hi guys! This is one of my older covers. This is a cover of SMT III: Nocturne's Fierce Battle theme which I did to celebrate Nocturne's remake being announced! Hope y'all enjoy!

Straight from r/megaten to tell you that's a sick cover, I'll surely use your video to study this track

[@Ahiboa]

Marcos Vilela thanks dude! If you need help with a part just lmk 😁

[@MatticusGaming1]

This is awesome, best cover I've heard of fierce battle.

[@Ahiboa]

I appreciate it my guy! I really wanted to do my favorite theme justice

[@Ahiboa]

Hi guys! Unfortunately I haven't the time to record a tutorial video or write tabs as I've been pretty busy lately. Best I can recommend right now as I find time is to review the video and play along :-) The tuning is in E Standard! If you have any questions, feel free to approach me. Happy holidays!

[@davicarrijo6892]

So it's been a while since you said that. I'm sure others besides me still want to learn how to play this song, please reconsider making a tutorial video ;-;

[@Ahiboa]

@@davicarrijo6892 hey man! I'll definitely reconsider! My schedule isn't as tight now and I'll do my best to get a tutorial out, and I'll comment right here once I got it down. Thanks!

[@Iron-yMan]

What pedal or effect do you use to play Fierce Battle on?

[@Ahiboa]

@@Iron-yMan Hey! Sorry its been a while since I've gotten back to KZbin - I used an MXR Super Badass Distortion for this cover!

[@Iron-yMan]

@@Ahiboa Nice wow that thing is expensive

[@Nathan_Lennox]

It’s a flaw in the universe that you weren’t blessed with the best recording equipment money could buy when you made this. This cover is a masterpiece. You staying on the strings note to note and playing this song with it’s iconic, actually “wicked” melody is an expert interpretation of what the original piece was trying to deliver to the listener. Everybody I’ve seen cover this song always tries to recreate it with some abrupt, thrashing, stampeding, and shouting death-metal SMT concert style. Not that a lot of those covers aren’t good, they’re great, for somebody looking for that stuff. But, I’ve been waiting for somebody to not try to play this song like it’s a raging wildfire and instead play it how Meguro did- a fucking lightning storm! Awesome work man Edit: I just had to add that I didn’t even realize while writing this and listening, that I was tapping my heel and nodding to the same rhythm that old one gets me vibing to, without fail. You fucking nailed it man, one more time- awesome job!

[@Ahiboa]

This is insanely flattering! I really appreciate that you enjoyed my cover 😁 I was hoping that my cover did the original justice, and even though my version could never compare to the original, I'm glad you still enjoyed it!!

[@Nathan_Lennox]

@@Ahiboa Hell yeah, man. I’d say your cover is the ONLY one that does the original total justice. Instead of trying to sound like a familiar but entirely new rendition, you played this complementary to the original- to such a fine point that it very easily could’ve been in the game and I would have never have thought twice about it. Which is what makes a good cover, a *good cover* . You play like Shoji himself, excellent fucking job, bro!

Great guitar tone!

Thanks so much! This is an amazing compliment as I was really not sure if I set the tone up well 😁

Niceeeeeeeeeee

[@gchinmayvarma9030]

amazing playing! the opening sounds very similar to a old classical song in synth, i wanted to find what it was

[@Ahiboa]

G Chinmay Varma thanks! It does have a familiar melody but I can't put my finger on it

[@gchinmayvarma9030]

@@Ahiboa aww looks like i gotta look into it now, will keep you updated if i find it!

[@Ahiboa]

Hey man! I think the song I remembered which was similar to the opening melody. I believe it's Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Very well done my man. Also, you have Zero dislikes. Are you a fan of SMT?

[@Ahiboa]

Thanks man! Yeah I'm a pretty big SMT fan. Actually just finished the nocturne remaster just last week. Looking forward to playing other titles like If and SJ

[@the_j_machine2254]

@@Ahiboa I heard the Nocturne remaster sucks. What's your take on that?

[@Ahiboa]

@@the_j_machine2254 sorry for the late reply man, been busy with work. Nocturne remaster is alright especially for those who didn't get to experience the original game! Though it really does have a steep price tag for what it offers

[@steelthunder7782]

Do you have tabs with this that you used to learn it? If so I would love to use them to learn this on my own.

[@Ahiboa]

Steel Thunder Hi! Sorry I don't have a tab for this as I learned it by ear, and I haven't gotten around to writing the tab yet :(

[@aaronpadinjarathala9265]

@@Ahiboa will you be writing the tab

[@Ahiboa]

@@aaronpadinjarathala9265 i can't promise anything because I'm currently busy with work. But I'll try to make time for it!

[@steelthunder7782]

@@Ahiboa It's all right, I was just wondering if you had tabs. If you ever do get to writing them I would love to get them. Its still a great cover though and I enjoyed it.

Can you make a tutorial

[@Ahiboa]

I believe I can! I might do that instead of writing a tab as I believe it's easier
