@uniquenote i personally want to thank you for creating a soundtrack that has resonated so incredibly deep throughout my entire life, you and mitsuhiko takano have cultivated such a culture in the fighting game scene with this soundtrack, and i just have nothing but the kindest words for you guys, HUMONGOUS props!!!!! 🔥🔥
Oh my god that "put on my sunday best and call me war machine" line was FIRE. If you don't know, when war machine does his proton cannon, during startup he goes "here's my Sunday's best! Proton cannon!!"
This feels like a "end credits" for the Vs series and a celebration of not only Marvel 2, but also this whole franchise and it's impact on so many people, including myself. Congratulations, you guys almost made a grown man cry
Grown man that has typed up a few comments while sobbing here - it's a love letter to the FGC wrapped up in one of the og games (...a gem of a box to use...) I just wore my now defunct srk shirt for an mvc2 tourney just over a week ago "It's still real to me, god damnit!" 🤣🤣 (I'm honestly still shocked this was just made. I really thought it was an old vid that the algo finally tossed at me. Midway through I checked and my jaw dropped.... And the tears started)
They took an 8 SECOND LOOP and made it *BANG HARDER* than it somehow already did. I am begging you to do "This is True Love We're Making" from Capcom vs. SNK 2.
I love that I legitimately thought these were the actual official lyrics to an unknown extended version of the song until the MAHVEL BAYBEE references in the second verse lmao
@@pasqualedorsiartdoes Alpha share sprites with MvC2 or did you have to reanimate the MvC2 sprites to mimic The Parry? (It's a fucking beautiful edition. I said in another comment, this feels like a hearfelt tribute to the fgc wrapped in the goat of og titles. Maaaaad love and appreciation for all the work.)
The lyrics sound like a declaration of love from a couple who happen to be fighting game fans that first met each other at an arcade station playing MVC2.
1:22 - more trivia - these lines are from Yipes, one of the all time great mvc2 players. Hes mt rushmore legendary not only for his play, but his 🐐ed commentary. One of the phrases he made up was "where's your curly stache at??" - in marvel if you get "opened up" that means you've had your defenses broken, basically tricked into blocking the wrong way, or opened up like a can of pringles. So the curly stache is referring to the pringles can guy. Means you've been opened up 🥸
How do take a simple lick, expand it into a full funk extravaganza by way of ToP? Ask Charlie. This is an absolute banger an what a challenge it must have been to pull this passage into a full piece without ending up like taffy. Big, funky, masterclass.
Too true; they took an extremely catchy 5-second loop and turned it into an absolute masterpiece. It's honestly one of the most impressive things I've heard in a while.
@2:12 I know my father’s (RIP) favorite band anywhere and that horn rift is straight outta Oakland’s own Tower of Power. Also, thanks Max for being this to my attention! MVC IS BACK BAYBEE!!!
Honestly? Yeah, I might not be a big MARVEL VS Capcom fan, but even I know how iconic the original track, and getting to hear a full version of it was something that felt like a long time coming. Outstanding work to all involved here!
I woke up and decided to play a few rounds of MvC2 on the machine in my bedroom. I log on to my computer to get ready for work, and what do I see? Absolute fate - this goes hard. Bless you, 8-Bit Big Band.
I’m in tears. Literal tears. Getting to witness a fully orchestrated rendition of a small loop that’s been a MAJOR part of my life for just shy of 25 years (Couple year hiatus, but just recently got floored in my first ever MvC2 tourney via Xbox live. It was magically nostalgic, and both kids were raised to the music of this game) Just the right amount of cheese in there that matches the cheese factor of a hardcore fighter energized by neo funk From the bottom of my heart and tears welling up as I type this Sincerely… THANK YOU FOR PLAYING MARVEL VS CAPCOM 2, NEW AGE OF HEROES
I played a lot of Marvel VS Capcom on PS1 and listening to Lawrence in this project was one of the best songs I've ever heard, they are always involved with extremely good quality
How come no one ever points out that the amazing Adam Neely is playing bass on a lot of these? This makes my heart beyond happy. Adam is TOTALLY channeling the amazing late Rocco Prestia here and it sounds amazing. Stellar work Adam!
You guys slammed this thing! Very faithful to Tetsuya Shibata's sound for this game (and Auto Modellista!) and the Tower of Power nods were just as inspired.
Absolutely love this, but I will say, maybe there should be a flash warning for 2:16 (I’m photosensitive and it was a less than ideal experience 😅). Again though, this is super impressive in all ways creative.
Simply amazing. I love the vocals by Clyde and Gracie Lawrence. The singing just felt so funky, but in the best way. And the rest of the band does a really fine job.
Thankfully the algorithm recommended this video to me. The amount of effort in not only the music production, but even the editing of song the the game graphics and special effects have me blown away! Its a crime that you don't already have well over a million subs! These videos look like they were very expensive to make and you guys deserve millions of views per video!
I was blown away when I heard this song on the album - never would have expected a lawrence collab but they are such a great fit and brought their all to this track!
I was beginning to wonder if a video was going to be made for this cover due to it having Marvel characters in it and how Disney is really touchy about, well, everything, so I was pleasantly surprised to see this in my notifications. I’m impressed that y’all went out and turned a 15 second loop into a full, near 5 minute long song that isn’t repetitive or anything. Props to Charlie for listening to the loop for 35 mins straight. Great cover and animation. Also: Went to y’all’s concert in Newport, VA with my family, y’all rocked house. 10/10 performance. Even bought a couple of shirts (which I’m wearing as of writing this message) for me and my sister (who’s also a big fan of y’all’s work) cause A the album 3 shirts look dope and B because y’all deserve the extra support for being such a great band. Thanks for making awesome Jazz covers and performing here in Virginia. Keep up the good work. *End of very long message*
I can't build on any of the other comments, I have always loved the 8 bit band, this song blew my socks off, such an amazing performance, I'm so glad I'm along for the ride
Super stoked that this exists because I've always wondered what the song would sound like if it wasn't a 10 second loop. MVC2 kicks so much and so does this cover. Awesome job y'all :)
The fact that the period of my life when I was invested in Marvel Vs Capcom overlapped with the period of my life when I was listening to Tower of Power every single day makes this arrangement feel laser focused at me.
ITS MAHVEL BABY!
EVERYBODY DIRECT YOUR PRAISE TO PASQUALE HERE WHO ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED THESE ANIMATIONS!
