...Snake, everything is clear now. The future's we saw were one and the same. Snake...you will destroy Metal Gear...and you will create a new Metal Gear in its place. Your children...Les Enfantes Terrible...Snake, your son will bring the world to ruin...your son...will save...the world.
This is a song I would hear when Mario and Sonic fight for a long time and then end up hurt really bad, but keeps on fighting. Then they both become slow and ended up knocking each other out in the end.
This is one of those songs that I wished lasted longer. The sheer force, strength, calamity, and peace this song has brings me to solace and nirvana. 10/10
I've been listening to all of the songs on your channel for all of SSB songs while doing my super stressful calculus hw. This song made me relax so much though and I don't feel as stressed now. Thanks for the posts!
actually, i can imagine fighting to this music. an epic battle to the death between two friends...the one who survives stands looking over his old friend and cries
:p
but I can see how some might think its inapropriate :/
@TheNathanNS oh, remember fortune from dead cell? the 1st time you hear it is when she fucking takes down those navy seals with her rail gun... but idk why they added fuckin lyrics?...
This is my single favorite song from Brawl. Beautiful, scenic, it describes the conflict in MGS as a true epic battle, a struggle for survival, not just a typical shootemup fps, but a masterpiece of fiction, of art.
My friends and I used to play this song in a stage that was incredibly closed in with one arrow opening, and set the damage and launch power to the max. We called it the panic room. Every random hit caused so much to happen you couldn't keep track and you could randomly get shot out at any minute. This song was so unfittingly fitting.
I think it appears as a random CD like the ones that appear for 5 seconds then disappear. Otherwise, it could be found in the Subspace Emissary. But I think I found it while Brawling. There might be a challenge to unlock it, but it's unlikely.
@Timic83tc aw cmon, he doesnt die, he just comes back to life again and you fight with him another 2 times. But he doesnt even dies, he appears again in MGS4
And don't bring up that "Kids in Africa have it worse" shit, I know fully damn well those people are using that UNICEF money for buying Yachts inside Mega-Yachts inside of a Cruise Ship.
Not to sound like a nerd. But I can do great fighting with this song. This is just my opinion but in the climax of the song I can imagine war. I don't know why, it just seems like it.
As the Nintendo gang and Sonic the Hedgehog celebrated for their victory against Tabuu.....one man stood out from the rest......Solid Snake was the only one who didn't celebrate.....but merely watched as he sat to the side.....smoking his cigarettes.....he was in no mood to celebrate as he knew Liquid Ocelot was still out there......as they stared at the mystery man he flicked his cigarette away he got up.and walked away.....the Nintendo world could never understand his pain.....
@MaximumKOF No, he's implying that Snake has greater internal conflict than ALL other Nintendo characters, because clearly, he referred to the entirety of Nintendo when he made that comment.
Not necessarily. If someone's feeling bad for some reason and there may be a few people that can understand why, that doesn't mean that the whole world, or even a notable chunk of it, can also understand. Similarly, while some Nintendo characters could have internal struggles about as badly as Snake's (Lucas may be an example), that doesn't mean that the other (and simultaneously vast majority of) Nintendo characters would also understand Snake's problems.
@MaximumKOF Exactly my point. Making comments like that when one doesn't even understand the struggles of the character they are describing, and thus comparing to another world which said person doesn't fully understand is hypocrisy. But the point is, Nintendo DOES understand the kind of world Snake comes from despite making many games designed or all ages, and Stiengrabber, here, doesn't see that.
My sister an i made a contest series with brawl characters (And some from other nintendo games since there were only 3 girls ;D). In one part there`s a dance, and as soon as we came up with the idea we both knew that this song would be the absolute favorite. Beautiful.
I used this song for one of my custom stages; "Painful Love", basically a heart-shaped level filles with ice and is limited by a floor made out of spikes.
Who in the hell are u. Seriously what I said is inspirational. I lost my cousin in his party when he got killed by unwelcome guests with guns. He was a friend, and family and this happened in 2003. He was only 13 years old. But I learn to move on in life knowing I can become stronger. Now im about to be an electricion soon, about to live a better life.
Ok ik this might be dumb but I used this song when I was facing the final boss in LoZ: Phantom Hourglass alone in the house xDDDD back then it fitted so well which I felted so heroic :D, but now this music reminds me of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and many anime shows also of course SSBB ;)
This is snake. Indeed we lose people we love as we live life, doesn't mean we don't stop living anymore. We fight on. I fight on, cause that makes us stronger. (mission accomplished)
When I'm playing on Brawl Online mode and this music is playing, some powerful peace and love don't want me to fight, just to be very close of Peach Zelda or Samus. I try to fight, but i really can't do it.
@GoodVsEvil1314 dude it's kinda funny bur when i'm playing with this music on backgroud , some kind of nerd love power grows on me and i kiil more than AIDS kkk, this games rules :)
...Snake, everything is clear now. The future's we saw were one and the same. Snake...you will destroy Metal Gear...and you will create a new Metal Gear in its place. Your children...Les Enfantes Terrible...Snake, your son will bring the world to ruin...your son...will save...the world.
