Battle! (Team Star Boss) - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet OST (Gamerip)

[@Rosalina102798]

Taniguchi is already killing it with just the anatgonist themes alone. He's definitely one of Game Freak's most distinctive composers to date.

[@wumblob]

this is the only version on youtube i can find with the correct in game part at 4:35 that isnt cut off. that part goes so hard it melts my brain

[@ArthAPint]

LITERALLY, I feel this is too niche for alot to notice or even care Its my absolute favourite part and I’m so glad I found it

[@Mario87456]

Why do so many cut off that part it’s so freaking annoying.

[@draconicfeline6177]

Its so rad

[@steamroll5406]

@@Mario87456 A year late to the party but a lot of the soundtrack uploaders just record what their switch plays as they're playing the game. So usually the music cuts in weird spots and doesn't showcase the full composition. There's also issues with mic quality and in turn, the sound quality when playing on KZbin.

[@Zvoosh25]

I imagine they just told the guitarist to record a bunch of guitar solos and then said "have fun". Absolute certified banger.

[@Equalizer4]

The fact that this canonically plays while you’re fighting them. Just imagine being the protag and vibing to the music while you’re battling.

[@Blaperile]

To me this is by far the BEST, most refreshing, and most memorable track in these games, and that's saying something because there's a lot of great music in these games.

[@Zvoosh25]

This whole soundtrack is amazing, and this is one of it's crowned jewels (pun intended) Fun fact also: Giacomo low-key confirms that every in-game track is also heard in universe when Cassiopeia says he composes the music for Team Star.

[@pokefandylan2117]

i thought that line doesn't necessarily extend to everything besides the Team Star battle themes, i thought that line just meant that the Team Star boss battle theme, and maybe even the ones at the base before that, are some of the only ones heard in-universe (especially since the Starmobiles have speakers that most likely play Giacomo's music)

[@redtomato4903]

Giacomo is the diegetic music god

[@andrewzoich]

@@pokefandylan2117 Imagine if they animated a star grunt actually shredding on a guitar during the battle lol

[@starberrysparkler]

1:55-2:06 Jesus. That guitar just ascended to another plain of existence...

[@matthewlinderman5042]

It gets better at 2:15

[@Hayawii]

I like it, it sounds extra >:) It doesn’t really have that Pokémon vibe but this *is* one of Teruo Taniguchi’s *first* compositions. I also like the vocals. It’s not a usual thing to have and it really adds to the theme imo.

[@pokefandylan2117]

actually, he composed some fanfares for B2/W2

[@Hayawii]

@@pokefandylan2117 Oh, right! Also the medals. I totally forgot. Thank you!

[@AdryanDreamer]

To me this sounds very Team Skull but better

[@pokefandylan2117]

@@AdryanDreamer agreed

[@andyalderson4180]

4:33-5:00 the guitarists were just told to 'go crazy' and 'have fun'

[@Juli_is_Online]

10 months later and yeah this is one of the absolute hardest most absurdly badass themes this entire franchise has ever come out with

[@tw0]

If they aren't following Masuda's battle theme traditions anymore, at least they should do it in this quality

[@coreylineberry8557]

Taniguchi might end up becoming one of the main composers before long.

[@DJ-0]

This take kinda pisses me off because i hate masudas battle themes

[@NuiYabuko]

​@@DJ-0 Great. And?

[@CaptainObliviousV]

Considering this is Taniguchi’s first big break since joining all the way back in gen 5, he’s made a phenomenal first impression as a lead composer. He and Toby are without question the highlights of SV’s soundtrack, and in regards to Toby, I really hope he sticks around too.

[@mikeprado30]

@@DJ-0 How could you survive then all those years with him making music for Pokémon?

[@dragoknight489]

the melody and instrumentation at 1:24 weirdly reminds me of emdasche's (composer for pokemon uranium, among other things) work. like, it's almost uncanny how closely the style matches.

[@Emdasche]

omg . . . i'm honoured u would make the connection, that section uses one of my fave chord progressions and goes for a certain sentimentality that i also like to use in my own stuff in the melody lol probably that's why! very anime sounding (this track rules)

[@eagle56786]

(the first half of the) royal road progression says hello

[@YummyChuStudios]

This song is too hype for fighting cosplaying children on FREAKING CARS, WHY IS THIS SO EPIC?!?!?!?

[@YummyChuStudios]

Reminds me of SBR for some reason

[@PaperSkyScraperX]

Nah Fr I rematch team star every day just to hear this fire soundtrack

[@xxzmaster04xx29]

Giacomo locked tf in

[@coopinatormusic6214]

I came to the Segin Squad's base knowing beforehand that their Starmobile was Lv 20. I thought my Lv 21 Pawmo and Lv 22 Nymble were up to the task. I left the base with one Pokemon alive. Do NOT underestimate the Starmobiles!

[@djunsusteiner]

The Starmobiles are all Poison/Steel types, so You can use a Fire type, I beat them easily with My Skeledirge

[@coopinatormusic6214]

@@djunsusteiner Incorrect. The Starmobile Revavroom are basically Tera-typed to the base leader. The Segin Starmobile was in fact, a Dark-type. You probably beat them easy, but it was never super effective hits.

[@Terumimi]

Those things are genuinely scary, i was super confident to fight the fire one once i got my clodsire but i got WASHED.

[@kittensolder8818]

I went after the Fire one first. I thought my team was strong enough after the Brassius and Klawf fights. *It wasn't. Not in the slightest.*

[@LukappaII]

Say whatever you want, but the vocals in the background sound to me EXACTLY like the vocals from the battle themes in Shin Megami Tensei 3. If this song had a slightly lower tempo and someone made me listen to that while telling me this was a boss theme from that game, I would have believed them without asking any other questions. Just listen to those and tell me if I'm wrong.

[@morrigan761]

O wonder if the voices says Something or they don't

[@boar6615]

now that you mentioned it it does kinda sound like a track from nocturne, but far happier

[@alexbobenrieth3888]

Now this…I like this

[@Veranek]

Maybe Taniguchi was the MVP of this OST. Who knows??

[@X-3181]

Absolutely YES, it not sounds like music from Pokemon but it fitness, not like vs sada/turo my opinion

[@DomingoGarciaRD]

For me is Go Ichinose, but hey, Taniguchi has done an exceptional job on the soundtrack of these games.

[@reidreinhart6498]

An absolute hood banger

[@lee.bythesea]

GIACOMO MY MAN

[@ultimapower6950]

I only came here because of rumors that parts of mewtwo’s stadium theme were reused in this.

I know these in-game trainers can be rebattled. But do they have automatic leveling up for this game too?

[@thewoodgrainloverofatari2600]

can you guess luna loud would ROCK OUT TO THIS ?

[@AustinSPTD1996]

She’d definitely want to rock it out with Giacomo, I bet.

[@Tyranitar66501]

It sounds like Dragon Ball FighterZ

[@blacknegan27]

Or even it sounds like Dragon Ball Raging Blast

[@Lil_Squink]

Why is this one so long???

[@R0binka]

It was too good to be shorter

[@X-3181]

I have a better question Why this is no more long?

[@LZ02-OVERTURE]

Because the loop is actually very long. All other videos cut off the song before it properly loops lol. You think it's looping at one point but then some of the guitar is actually different second time around

[@Juli_is_Online]

Ngl so far the OST has absolutely not captured or immersed me. This however is an absolute banger and I love it

[@DomingoGarciaRD]

I understand you, in my case, at least those that made by Go Ichinose are the ones that are most alive to me.

[@pokefandylan2117]

@@DomingoGarciaRD agreed

[@slughonkshoomi]

i've found all the other themes in this game kind of repetitive. While this is still repetitive, this stands out to me as being more distinctive as many of the other SV themes.

[@dragonblade-go6pe]

Its also canon to be actually playing
