Oh GOD, read the comments here. The Smash Bros. Brawl site was updated with a new piece of music. Personally, I think it sucks, mainly 'cause it's not beautifully orchestrated like some tracks from Melee, and I expect more from Brawl. But most of the people there are like, "OMG BEST MUSIC EVAR! BEAUTIFUL!" even though it's a crappy, sequenced compilation of music from Ocarina of Time. The different pieces don't even fit together. The song starts off with the Song of Storms. It should just STAY the Song of Storms. Then it'd be awesome.

Alfredo Says:

I’m really disappointed in this MIDI stuff. I was hoping for lots of fully-orchestrated tracks. I hope it’ll actually end up like that. Brawl has to be EPIC!

I mean, if Melee had orchestrated tracks (in super-compressed form), then Brawl should have more orchestrated tracks at higher quality!

TKS Says:

Alfredo, learn wtf a MIDI is and get your facts straight. Damn.

Alfredo Says:

MIDI, sequenced music, whatever. The fact is it isn’t orchestrated, which is lame.

RumblePitFTW Says:

Please, for all that is holy, just shut the fuck up, your ignorance is showing heavily. I bet you were one of those people that bitched because TP didn’t have voiceovers as well, amirite?

DeAngelo Guillory Says:

Please shut up. The composer list is an indication that not every track will be orchestrated because maybe it isn’t the best way to showcase some of their work, like Koshiro and Sakuraba for example could have Metroid in FM Synthesis whereas Shogo Sakai could have Mother 3 with real instruments. IT FRIGGING VARIES!

I saw nothing wrong with this track’s composition, regardless of the format. Then again when it comes to game music, I don’t find it necessary to pull out a full scale orchestra for every damned track of any genre of game, just a few select songs.

XD. They're attacking me personally, calling me ignorant (though I'm pretty sure that the music is sequenced...is there another term for it not being performed by real people, but by computers?).

And they tell me to "shut the fuck up." How rude. And I'm only expressing my opinion that the track was lame, mainly because it wasn't orchestrated. How is that different than people saying something like, "It's beautiful and shouldn't have been done any other way!" Why don't I go attacking those people with words like, "shut the fuck up" or "OMG IGNANT." 'cause I HAVE A SOUL. :D

And yeah, duh, Metroid shouldn't be orchestrated (but it would work, 'cause I have the Smashing Live soundtrack), but this is Zelda...and ocarina songs, for God's sake! What's better? A computer playing the ocarina, or a real person playing the ocarina? Honestly, the digital instruments don't sound that great either. They sound like something from an N64 game. Even Ocarina of the Time sounded better. Ick.

Listen to the song when they play Saria's song in an "epic" fashion. It would sound SOOO much better with real instruments, and of course, sound way more epic.

But how exactly will this song be used in the game? It's not consistent enough to be used as battle music. Sounds like it'd be for some silly montage or something.

And YES, I did bitch about Twilight Princess not having voice acting. THE CHARACTERS MOVED THEIR MOUTHS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER...yet they could not speak. You couldn't even skip the mouth animations, so it's like the developers intended them to talk, but they couldn't 'cause the fanboys would kill them.
