"Hey so we need a soundtrack for a fighting game..."

"OH, YOU NEED AN ANTHEM FOR HUMANITY?"

the dislikes are the younger brothers who got wrecked

Imagine this plays at the end of the Mario Galaxy movie

Brawl has the most dramatic and the best intro in history.

You know that the Brawl theme will never be topped. Just admit it.

Super smash director: okay, so we just need a simple action song, nothing special
The guy that composed this, ascending to the sky: NO

1:07 Why is this part so GOOD

The fact that this is in Latin really shows how much effort they put into a game where you can fight an Italian plumber as a pink ball capable of eating anything

You know this was an iconic theme when you opened the game and let the whole thing play 😂

Smash Ultimate: I HAVE THE BEST THEME!!!

Smash Brawl: Ah, that's cute.

Lyrics:


Audi famam illius.
Solus in hostes ruit
et patriam servavit.
Audi famam illius.
Cucurrit quaeque
tetigit destruens.

Audi famam illius.
Audi famam illius.

Spes omnibus, mihi quoque.
Terror omnibus, mihi quoque.

Ille
iuxta me.

Ille iuxta me.
Socii sunt mihi,
qui olim viri fortes
rivalesque erant.

Saeve certando pugnandoque
splendor crescit.

Song randomly pops up in my Recommended Feed after 4 years

Me: "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you..."

What blows me away is that legendary composer, Nobuo Uematsu (who also composed for nearly every Final Fantasy game since the original), was asked to make ONE song for Smash Bros and it turns out to be the best song out of the entire series.

nintendo really said: lets make the best song ever to exist

This song literally brings a tear to my eye. Makes me remember all the good times with my friends from several years ago.

"Its just a silly crossover fighting game with cartoony physics and goofy references."

Nobuo Uematsu: "Full orchestra with a mixed choir including opera solos, gotcha."

Translated from Latin:

I've heard legends of that person
How he plunged into enemy territory
How he saved his homeland

I've heard legends of that person
How he traveled the breadth of the land, reducing all he touched to rubble

I've heard legends of that person
I've heard legends of that person

Revered by many--I too, revere him
Feared by many--I too, fear him

Now, that person
Stands at my side
Now that person stands at my side

Now my friends are with me
Some of them were once heroes
Some, my mortal enemies

And as we face each other in battle, locked in combat
We shine ever brighter

you don't know what i will do if this plays in the theater next week

This was the perfect song to play at the Olympics. This should've been it
