- I know this song better as the Easter egg from Super Mario RPG when you fight Culex but it’s a banger nonetheless! Enjoy this sweet boss music

Culex for Smash
Hell yes
Geno and Mallow, too... God can you imagine if they had been playable characters in Smash bros, with Culex as a boss battle?!
@@willkinney5051 It's really a crime that Geno is NOT a Smash character
I like to imagine Culex sitted on a stool furiously playing an acoustic guitar
Proper imagery
You spoony bard!
Just so we’re clear - I’m the big spoon
One of, if not THE, best acoustic mixing on TH-cam. I can't believe how rich and layered this feels. I'm running out of ways to gush about you.
Wow man that’s a huge compliment! Haha I’ll never tire of the gushing. It means a lot when it’s as well articulated as you do it
@@CRGuitarr Well, for what it's worth, I work in audio/composition and I can't tell you how genuinely amazing your work is. I promise you that you are beyond a professional level. This is exceptional.
A lot of industry professionals put a lot of work into mixing acoustic guitars so they sound spatially rich, but there is such a tendency to offset percussion for warmth. The music is either raw and raucous or subtle and emotional. And that goes for Nintendo and Square's published albums as well.
Yet here you are, creating these dynamic, vibrant soundscapes that are crisp, clear, eclectic, and gorgeous... and making it seem so effortless (I know it isn't!).
Your rhythms have all the bouncing floor beds of R&B synths, but are as prickly and sparkling as only guitars can be. Your leads are rich and detailed but never superfluous. It never feels like the melodies are playing over the music but rather coming from somewhere within them.
And I don't know if your reverb is natural or constructed but it's tuned to perfection. Between the stereo dynamics and mastering, every note at every level bounces off each other instead of competing with each other. It feels symphonic, it feels world class...and yet it's just you and your spaghetti jpeg haha.
You're a genuine virtuoso, my friend. And it's sincerely an honour and a delight to be watching your journey up and out :)
Sorry for the rant. But every time you upload a video, I always get excited and it's always a wonderful part of that day. And for all my quips on your videos, I really just wanted you to know how I felt once. May as well be here.
On behalf of ALL of us, thank you so much for doing what you do :)
Wow man I don’t even know what to say other than this might be the nicest comment I’ve ever read. I put a lot of thought and effort into these and for you to notice and appreciate all of the details means a lot to me. Thanks so much man!
First time I heard this theme was courtesy of Super Mario RPG. But that game was what brought me into the RPG world! What was your first time hearing this theme?
Same here! First RPG I ever played and this song really stuck with me since!
Middle school me: “this character seems out of place”
Victory song plays: “oh I get it now”
Also you ever thought about doing a gear and recording video special? I want to learn your ways
That’s not a bad idea at all. I might actually do this! Thanks for the idea
My dogs are wondering why I'm bouncing around and shaking the floors
Love the energy here. This one has always been one of my favorite FF tunes.
Awesome. Glad to hear the energy was there because I put all I had into it haha
Freakin amazing. 40 years old and still boyishly obsessed with classic FF tunes. Thanks for this and all that you do!
Also, way to slay on the bass.
It’s my pleasure. And yeah the bass was by far the hardest part!
wow out the gate this is slappin!
Certified banger
The bass in this song hits hard. Such a great tune.
Hell yeah
😱😱😱 first time I ever heard this was on Mario RPG when I was a kid and I fell in love with it. This is 🔥🔥🔥
God I loved that game too. Thanks!
Yo nostalgia for real! I haven't played this game in a second, so this was a nice surprise!
Glad to hear it bro! This one slaps so hard I couldn’t resist
This song nearly made me cry its so good
Damn that’s the best kind of compliment. Thanks
I blasted this out to all my friends.. all 3. Plus my dad. Who then asked me if I could play it to which I replied... of course! It takes a special brain to hit that constant bass line though. Nostolgia juices in full effect! Well done sir! You make Mario proud. Chris Pratt Mario 💖💪
@justinbrink7425 So stoked to read that! And agreed that bass line is a beast!
Best boss battle theme the FF franchise has to offer, IMO. Good show!
Slaps so hard I couldn’t resist! Thank you
Goddamn this is fucking fire
Glad you like it!
This is great.
Would love for you to try tackling FFIV's Battle with the Four Fiends sometime.
I’d be up for that. Onto the to do list it goes!
My all time favorite boss theme from the Final Fantasy series.
You have good taste
One of my favourites. Certainly a workout playing this one!
Was it ever! Thanks dude
OK TELL ME YOU'RE DOING MORE OF THESE OK OK OK OK OK OK. Edit: one of my favorite things you've ever done. Amazing.
Wow thanks! I’ll definitely be doing some more FF bangers in the future
Freakin epic dude, your videos get me so pumped 🤘
Thanks bro! You catching the intensity is exactly what I like to hear!
This is so good, this just hits so hard!
I was hammering so hard for that groove. Glad it worked out!
Holy shit you did it THANK YOU. Absolutely nailed it. God among men
Thank you that’s too kind!
Love the bass line dude and the rest is well played as well! Such a bop. Nice job!
Thanks Lloyd! I need a day of rest after doing this one holy F
Great stuff man. Loved this game and soundtrack. Awesome job
Thank you!
Fantastic, this one looks hard. Thank you so much!! Fight against culex
My pleasure!
Such a banger! Great job!
Thanks man! It was a ton of fun to jam to
Awesome cover!!!
Thank you!
This is great! I love the cat on the chair in the Bass vid
Haha good eye! Thank you
Here I was posting about beating FF1 in your discord last night and here you were posting this gem. You have outdone yourself good sir.
Look at us working in parallel! Thanks bro
This boss was fun. Definitely a🔥piece! I love how the percussive elements came through. You definitely kept the vibe and energy from the original!
Stoked to hear that! Thank you 😊
This is beautifully played
Thanks!
Oh hell yes sir. Amazing job!
Thank you!
Wow this is amazing!
Thank you!
That was simply incredible. Flawless work, sir.
Glad you liked it!
This is "the" boss theme. Bravo!
It really is boss AF. Thanks bro
That was slick!! 🙌🏻
Thank you friend
Dude this one me the chills. Im 11 or 12 hours into FF4 right now. Good stuff as always 🤘🤘
Oh awesome! Thanks bro I’m glad you enjoyed it
I'm glad that this was done too! And he kept the pace! #Awesome
It wasn’t easy 😅
Nobou Uematsu is a god of video game music. Funny enough, I actually played SMRPG first when it released before FFIV. Even though I know FFIV came first, I always think of Culex when I hear this lol. Excellent job! I can't wait to hear Yoko Shinomura's new arrangement in the SMRPG remake.
Haha I heard it first in SMRPG too! I can’t wait to hear the newest rendition either
Same here! This made believe I could find Culex's true background in some older SNES Final Fantasy. Played FF6, then FF5, and when it came to FF4's first boss the "Aha! This is the game!" moment happened. There was no Culex nor any Dark Realm of Wanda in FF4, which wasn't a problem because FF4 is awesome nonetheless.
I just wish the remake will include an extra post game quest where the gang explores Culex homeworld a bit. I can only dream!
that bassline sounds so good on your guitar!
That guitar spoils me!
Epic song and epic guitar sounds!
Thanks man. Put a lot into that arrangement!
@@CRGuitarr it's an incredible amount of work that's for sure
Fantastic!
Happy to hear it!
That f-ing bass tho. So tasty!!!!
It was the WORST to record. So hard to do fretless. Glad it was worth the effort though 🙂
@@CRGuitarr your tunes are always super tasty but I'm a sucker for good bass. Lol
That bass line looks like fun to play.
It would be fun if it wasn’t fretless. Holy hell staying in key was a nightmare!
@@CRGuitarr That's rough buddy.
I have listened to many times since yesterday, it's so good! The layering is so spot on and smooth! This is really hard to pull off by yourself. May I ask though is the spaghetti there to transition video loop. I only noticed because of the cat lol. More FF IV and VI songs please!
Thanks! I put a lot of time into getting this mix right. That’s a plate of copypasta to let you guys know that the repeat happens and also to make the transition to loop smoother too 🙂. I’m also amazed at how many of you noticed my cat! I’ll be doing more from those OSTs at some point
@@CRGuitarr I mean.. now I can't believe I didn't think of copypasta lol. Truly the mix is inspiring, dead on timing. I've been sending your videos to a bunch of muscian friends. I am brand new to your content so maybe I missed it but would love to hear you shred on that Razorback. (I mistakenly went eclipse and not a regret but I'm jealous none the less) That specific OST is genius, full symphony translated to 16bit sound but it never really lost it's feeling. Which lends itself perfectly to what you're doing. Can't wait to hear more :). P.S. are you doing that little snare sound off video by hitting deadend strings? I've noticed some flamenco hit's on the body of the acoustic as drum hits in some of your other videos not on video.
Fear not CR. Give me a year and I will single handedly get the view count up to 10k on this song 💪⚡️
Haha you’re a gem dude
@@CRGuitarr what I respect with your work, as opposed to other acoustic video game cover artists is you take the time to hit every sweet note no matter how many guitars are required and you don't alter the beat in any way mid song, which I find annoying and irritating. No sentimental slow downs. You should technically be as popular as Super Guitar Bros in my book. Though they've been around for ages so theres that... oh and your recording equipment is clearly better. I don't understand if you're going to make video game covers a professional hobby that you wouldn't get the sound quality and micing correct
@justinbrink7425 that’s super flattering man. The Super Guitar Bros were my first exposure to video game music on guitars and they were a big inspiration for me! And I agree, I’d rather keep a groove alive than do rubato but to each their own!
Memories! But from Super Mario RPG 😅
Haha same!! First RPG I ever played
the best. I love this boss theme so much.
Thanks bro. I’ve been meaning to do this one for a while but it’s such a bastard on the bass
This gets my anxiety going in a good way if that's even possible
A fellow adrenaline junkie I see
Damn dude. Murdered this one!
Thanks bro. I was super into this one!
Amazing.
One of my favs games
I still need to play it 😅
Sweet! Think you'll ever do Battle on Big Bridge from FFV?
Holy hell that would be so tough to do!…. I might try
duuuude who gave you the gallop. your tone is just bananas as always
Yes!! Thank you
Wow, this was on a SNES cartridge? Haven’t played FF”2” since it was new, so I don’t recall such cool music!
I actually found this song at an Easter egg boss in Super Mario RPG! But yes it was on a SNES cartridge!
Ugh. Flawless. This is so nostalgic.
Thank you!!
Forever waiting for toe jam and earl. I know you can play bass, king ❤. Quality content as always.
God the bass slaps SO HARD on that OST. I’ll try it some time 🙂 thank you
@@CRGuitarr
oh my lord... sick
Thank you!
Sketti
Nom
@CRGuitar you look like you are having a lot of fun playing this one. It really is an addictive toon. Can be easily looped for 10 hours and listened to without getting tired of it. Can you edit this one so it plays for 10 hours? Please and thank you, my first comment, I subscribed and liked this video!
I could do that! And yes it was a lot of fun to play 😀
@@CRGuitarr I play it on loop. :) At least once a day i think.
@@CRGuitarr I know you make new songs, but this one by far is still my favorite.
I KNOW THIS, will never forget this one because most of the time after this theme music it will be the game over theme for me 👉🏻👈🏻
I am VERY familiar with game over themes
This feels like the anxiety of coming prepared to protect against being put to sleep and then Culex uses Shredder
Lol spot on
My strategy was to make Peach and Bowser attack the Wind Crystal with that consumable item that deals 200 damage, and then pray to hit all the timing in Mario's Super Jump for it to deal 400 damage. The Wind Crystal has 800HP. If I could kill it in turn 1, then no Petal Blast and no being turned into a mushroom. THEN, I could have a chance with Culex and the other crystals,
Oh yeah! *thrust thrust thrust* uh
UNGH
i'm gonna play this song while eating a spicy burrito.
Bon appetit!
👌🏼👌🏼Perfect wow
Thank you!
yo slammin
Happy to hear that!
The bass line tho how??
It’s not easy! Especially on a fretless bass. I could tab it for you if you message me on discord or IG
It's not easy in the aspect of it being a lot of notes and your fingers moving all the time. Bass is an instrument that takes a lot of hand strength. The strings are heavy and it's got to time up with the drums as well. Weird juxtopisition of melody and drum hits at the same time. On paper it looks sorta easy. I will say this, nothing can shake an entire crowd of people like a well timed bass and drum hit. You can feel their hearts in rhythm.
This is better than the original
😯
1:05 best part 🤤
I can’t let you guys go hungry
True
When you are Square the best RPG game manufacturer in the world you can get away with that
100%
Was your left hand hurting after doing the bottom right video melody?
It gets a little tired sometimes!
1:05
how's that seagull thought about getting one
It’s in need of a setup right now but it’s a wonderful guitar!
