[Keyslayer]

MICHIRU YAMANE GODDESS OF MUSIC

[glovestrong48]

@b1indmailman Jazz. Yamane confirmed that a majority of the music is Jazz-inspired :)

[spdeew]

@b1indmailman

Jazz

is this a trick question?

[lousbeatz]

LA Noire: The Fighting Game

[dantemustdie00]

Castlevania's lady of the musical arts, Michiru Yamane, you goddess you.

[thapoint09]

Sounds like a Sonic Unleashed night level.

[Vaankar456]

Sounds great! But I cant help to think I'm listening to Castlevania. Guess Michiru Yamane and Dracula have really merged into one single entity after all their waltz

[Samoutuomas]

@Vaankar456 I don't see what's wrong with that? :D I can never get enough of Michiru Yamane's music, even better if it's in her Castlevania-style. I became a fan of her when I was 12, now I'm 27. I even liked her music in TwinBee (for NES and arcades), lol.

[Vaankar456]

@Samoutuomas I dont see whats wrong with it either xD

[BradleyThomas312]

This sounds very reminiscent of Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Surely, not a coincidence.

[kupowns]

waaaaay too good!

[konataakira]

michiru yamane do that?!

[foottothenuts]

I heard the music and I was like "This is too good for Americans to make up" then I saw it, MICHIRU YAMANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[St0nehenge]

@foottothenuts Americans INVENTED this style of music. How stupid can you get?

[foottothenuts]

@St0nehenge Okay shit fuck. You obviously have no idea what I'm talking about. Yes Americans made up JAZZ (which this is not fully in the first place), but find me American made video game music like this song, oh right you can't.

[St0nehenge]

@foottothenuts The point isn't to find a similar song to this one, because this is strictly the style of Michiru Yamane. There is plenty of fantastic American video game music, namely Sonic 3 and Knuckles, the Donkey Kong Country series, and just about anything in Lucasarts games. Stop being a weeaboo.

And yes, it is all jazz. The ABABC format, the variation of the 12-bar Blues chord progression, the soloing, the unisons, and the melody are all heavy Jazz elements. Lern2music

[foottothenuts]

@St0nehenge Learn to stop talking like a fucking 13 year old kid on the internet. I'm a fucking music major you fucking faggot cunt. The song is by Michiru Yamane, that alone makes it unlike anything ever made in the history of the universe.

[MetaRothSephKnight]

@foottothenuts you used "fucking faggot cunt" while complaining about his language. Your argument is invalid.

[foottothenuts]

@MetaRothSephKnight That makes my argument more valid you shit cock nipple fuck tree dick mound. Your argument is invalid. FUCK YOU.

[Ivodeski]

@foottothenuts Oh he mad! BET YOU WON'T HIT EM'! :D

[foottothenuts]

@Ivodeski COME AT ME BRO!!

[jordan62073]

ITiS IN MY BRAIN OMG GTFO OUT MY HEAD

[Tobi9the9random]

@jordan62073 Why would you want this deliciousness out?

[gigaganon]

michiru yamane is back!!! can't wait to play this game

[Rakatanz]

Michiru does it again

[JediLink123]

I somehow wish it was shorter to loop. The first bit is really catchy, but it becomes less interesting as it goes.

[Brianguyanddude]

What a cute lil chibi drawng at the end X3

[soulthepinkmage]

Nice! Looking forward to both the game and ost!

[blackandblue85]

I'm having a panic attack, cuz, I'm dying to get my hands on this game!!!!!

[chippy89]

@blackandblue85 same here

[Spiredevo]

love this track but I hope we'll get to hear some more music soon

[rorino700]

EXCUSE ME SOMEONE KNOWS IF THERE IS A WAY TO DONWLOAD THIS SOUNDTRACK,AND THE OTHERS OF THE GAME?I AM A TOO GREAT FAN OF MICHIRU YAMANE



[wolfrox777]

@rorino700 Not until the game is out will you be able to listen to all of the songs.

[WigglyMalmsteam]

Would it be fitting to classify this track as "jazz fusion"?

[wolfrox777]

How is this music not good for children? LOL

I guess that's a mistake putting that there..

[Grimmomega]

At first I wanted this game for the art. Then I wanted it for the tits. Now I want it for the music.

[SmashBro415]

@Grimmomega In that order?

[rebirthangel]

@Grimmomega So you want it for the T&A then? That's cool, cause I also want this game for it's Tough veteran fighting gameplay, and it's Artwork...see what I did there? ;)

[Grimmomega]

@rebirthangel

OH SHIT

[Keyeszx48]

@Grimmomega Same then I saw some gameplay of Valentine and now I want it for the gameplay. Input lag will be so fun. *devilish grin*

[toxictoad28]

i love reading arguments on youtube

[Teatimesan]

Please to do a sampler of the track that plays in part during the composer's announcement! Really interested in knowing it's name

[VegaOmega23]

I really want to go to the River King Club.

[TheEdge0fLife]

Sexy.

[cboylegend]

BANZAI, YAMANE MICHIRU-DONO!! XD

[Munchzor]

Yay Michiru Yamane!

[Doberboy218]

Man, I just can't get enough of this song! Michiru Yamane you've done it again!

[PsychoJosh]

This game looks like garbage and I'm going to be really glad when it fails.

[nothingxs]

@PsychoJosh So what you're trying to say is that you are happy if a fighting game that is developed by an independent producer with a lot of professionally-made assets that feature a large part of the overarching video game community (Mr. Ahad has very talented artists under him such as Persona-sama and Paul Robertson, if I recall; the music is developed by Michiru Yamane, etc; Mike Z is a stalwart of the FG community, etc.) -- is that correct?

[PsychoJosh]

@nothingxs Absolutely. Fuck Mike Z and his shamelessly ripped off MVC2 ideas, this game is Arcana Heart for worthless hipsters. Nothing pisses me off more than the creations of extremely unscrupulous authors who essentially jerk off with their work. This production absolutely reeks of its creator's ejaculate and I feel no sympathy for idiots who tearfully write pages and pages of lore for something so obviously masturbatory, which reads like fanfiction from a preteen girl. It's disgusting.

[nothingxs]

@PsychoJosh By your logic, any game that came out after Melty Blood should die, considering that a lot of modern games pretty much lift a ton of ideas from it (notably TvC and MvC3). More importantly, anything after SF2 is right out: everything is ripped off. Fuck it, Super Turbo needs to burn in hell, as the concept of "supers" is something taken from SNK games (Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting). While we're at it, let's just completely eliminate the entire game industry outright.

[nothingxs]

@PsychoJosh Either way, I suspect you will continue to pour more ridiculous vitriol and hate for the game mainly because you dislike the fetishy look of it. I can somewhat see that, so I'll give you a pass there. Again: Arcana's aesthetic is disgusting to me, and if I was to say anything about Skullgirls' aesthetic, is that it the fetishized designs are at least magnitudes more interesting than loli-in-a-swimsuit-in-a-blob-o­f-water.

[PsychoJosh]

@nothingxs I mean, am I supposed to like the shamelessly plagiarized game mechanics? Am I supposed to like the horrendous fauxnime art style? Am I supposed to appreciate the downright obnoxious characters and their blatant fanservice design? This game is a total wankfest for its author. If he draws hentai of his precious "badass" girl characters in his spare time for his own titillation, I wouldn't be surprised. So I reiterate, fuck this game and fuck everyone who likes it.

[nothingxs]

@PsychoJosh As for the art style, different strokes for different folks there -- you're the first person I've seen complain about its "horrendous fauxnime art style" or obnoxious characters. I think the game is surprisingly charming and definitely not at the fetishistic level that Arcana Heart pretty much exudes all over the place. (Can we agree that Arcana Heart is disgusting, aesthetically?) As for games being wankfests for their authors... yes. All of them. Guilty Gear, KoF, etc.

[nothingxs]

@PsychoJosh I guess what amuses me here is that your argument consists of arguments that you can effectively bring up against any other game in existence right now (particularly in the fighting genre), and they're all applicable to some extent. They're also not very valid.

As for the mechanics, if you haven't yet had a chance to play Skullgirls, then passing any judgment on its play is... silly, really. I've played the beta at Evo 2010, and I like what I've played so far.

[AoAD]

@PsychoJosh Fauxanime style, huh? That's quite funny, because its more or less inspired by American animation. Case and point, the character Peacock being a prime example. Your argument concerning plagiarized mechanics are a bit of a moot point, and quite frankly, it seems to be that your argument is concerning just an exorbitant amount of hatred you feel for Mike Z rather than a game that you have yet to play.

[JoshuaMorseMusic]

Sounds awesome! I'm a big Michiru Yamane fan. Glad to see an up and coming OST done in jazz. About time someone deviated from over-used "Hollywood Action" sound.

[BlackfyreRoy]

Sounds like a Bayonetta song

[rorino700]

I LOVE YOU MICHIRU YAMANE...others ost from this game?

[cactuarlover]

Damn day one buy. I will make sure of that even if i have to sell some games for points. I want dat parasoul

[Raiden3651]

(Turns on Castlevania Order of Eccelsia)

[spdeew]

SHit

I lov this jazzy style

Damn, this composer is awesome

Intant Day one buy for me, fuckers.

[asaqe3]

Mike Z must have connections to get a composer of this caliber

[xjxm]

@asaqe3 Basically, she struck out on her own - probably wanted to do something different - and folks at a translation company let the Skullgirls crew know she was available. They asked and she said yes. The story is on a blog at the official Skullgirls website.

[Solider7]

Kingdom Hearts meets Street Fighter 3 Third Strike meets Marvel vs Capcom 2.

Enough said.

[HiddenSharigan]

@Solider7 Sounds awful.

[azurenightmare1]

@HiddenSharigan you sound awful

[azurenightmare1]

@HiddenSharigan you sound awful

[azurenightmare1]

@HiddenSharigan you sound awful

[Ivoreh]

SKULLGIRLS OST

Y U SO CATCHY

[creatinggodz]

@Ivoreh because it was made by the beautiful MICHIRU YAMANE !

[williamsvm]

@creatinggodz this ost was actually made by random guys the company found in town so i hear

[Henroidt]

@Ivoreh The answer is because Michiru Yamane is the queen of video game music.

[AkumetsuLord]

Omg I love Yamane work for the Castlevania games and now its on this game, look that jazz feel

[aznc0ffe388]

love, this is such dopest fighting game track ive heard since mvc2 clocktower

i just hope the entire soundtrack doesn't sound too one dimensional like blazblue

[Xilnold]

so did she owe them money or what?

[AkumetsuLord]

@Xilnold lol probably, i would like to know how they got her to make this song for the game

[nothingxs]

@AkumetsuLord She didn't just "make this song" for the game. She's composing the entire soundtrack.

They got her to do it by... paying her money. How the fuck else?

[AkumetsuLord]

@nothingxs well duh

[nothingxs]

@Xilnold No. They owe her money for doing work.

[dynamicsketch]

@Xilnold She probably did owe them money. The tune sounds as if like she didn't really care.

[graefx]

Sold. The music is just icing on the cake. Kinda makes me think of 3S for some reason, and I mean that with all the complements in the world. Can't wait for this to be released.

[azndemon0]

I'm not really that big on jazz, but I'm really feeling this.

Awesome

[Maxpound]

You guys got my money on day one.

[Pieridy]

Yamane is ridiculously talented and has a distinctive, extremely attractive compositional voice. So happy to see her striking out "on her own"!

[GcYoshi13]

If all of the soundtrack ends up being like this, I will definitely buy the game.

[YanDaMan263]

How did such a random game get such a legendary composer to help is beyond me. Guess its worth a checkout at least.

[nothingxs]

@YanDaMan263 Because Mike Z is the fucking man, is how.

[PsychoJosh]

@nothingxs You're kidding. This game is just going to be single-character MVC2.

[enaidiZ]

@PsychoJosh What are you, some kind of Genius?

[PsychoJosh]

@enaidiZ Suck my balls

[laughingfurry]

@YanDaMan263

The game has been in production for years. They definitely got enough time to find and convince the right people for the sound. Too bad the trailer from 2007 isn't around.

[PwnerGeist]

Trumpets make my ~~~~ hard

[flyboobo]

Sounds really good! Although you guys might want to shorten the length a bit. Right now as it stands it needs 3 rounds each lasting 60 seconds to complete one loop, which doesn't happen too often in fighting games IMO.

[fuccons]

Wish the whole game had a "Metropolis" feel to it :)

[JwalkZer0]

I tell already, this is gonna be one of my favorite fighting game OSTs. I fuckin luv jazz and this game is gonna be epic to the max bringing much needed variety and balances to set a new standard for fighting games. Alex is the man for doing this, he and everyone else working on this game including Michiru are hungry and you can see it. They got the motivation and inspiration to do this even after the many years it took to bring this project to life, thank God for yall.

[ViperAcidZX]

Oh yes! I can't wait to hear the rest of Michiru's composition in the full game. X3

[Truegamer2000]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[WigglyMalmsteam]

Very nice. Michiru Yamane is so amazing.

[Taedan]

Nice track.

The begining really sounded like something you would hear in Castlevania.

[MisterTimothyRyan]

This sounds great! It's hard not to compare it to the jazzy stuff on Capcom's 2D fighters. This game just gets more and more exciting!

[lutinmalin]

The soundtrack sounds really promising!

[Kairosbland]

This is really good, nice hob guys. Can't wait for the game!

[pooplos1]

Wish I could like this more than once. SO GOOD!
