Power-Hungry Fool - History Behind Super Smash Bros. Brawl Music

High quality is recommended.

Since this music plays only in several different scenes (a few of which are short) in the original game, I decided to show every scene that this music plays in. The Super Smash Bros. Brawl piece begins at 4:20, where I note how it varies slightly from the original. I then discuss the track name at 6:34.

This is a pretty interesting music piece. However, I feel that it's kind of an odd choice for the Castle Siege stage, considering the context in which this originally played. That is, it's the theme of a fat, egotistical enemy that's obsessed with beauty not to mention the theme only plays briefly in the game. I suppose the Smash Bros. Brawl sound team was more concerned with the interesting composition of the piece rather than the context in which it played.

Unfortunately though, one would need the experience of playing through Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance to understand the storyline behind these cutscenes. So, I'll do my best to explain for those of you that have not played the game.

In this Fire Emblem universe, there are the laguz that live on the same continent as the humans. Laguz are shape-shifting humanoids. There are different species of laguz, such as Tiger, Hawk, Dragon, Heron, etc. They are capable of shifting into their respective species, such as a tiger. Laguz can also stay in human-like form but exhibit some type of feature that shows they are laguz, such as wings coming out of the back.

Some racial tensions exist between the humans and the laguz. In the past, some humans kept laguz as slaves and even refer to laguz as "sub-human." Many laguz still have hatred of humans because of this slavery. At the time of the game's storyline, many humans had stopped forcing laguz into slavery, but a few still remain.

On top of this, humans from the Begnion nation had killed many laguz herons and burned their forest home to the point that Reyson was supposedly the only laguz heron left in existence. Reyson still carries much hatred of humans because of the genocide of his people.

However, Reyson's friend Naesala, a raven laguz, stabbed him in the back and set it up so that he was captured by Oliver. Oliver, knowing that Reyson is the only laguz heron left, is so obsessed with beauty that he still wants to forcibly keep Reyson to himself.

Hopefully the cutscenes will fill in some more details.

Hope this makes the video a little bit more enjoyable for those of you that have not played Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

OMG THESE CUT SCENES ARE INAPROPIAT I AM buying this game

[MasterBelmont]

What a fat moron.

[OnlyPassingHere]

@midnightmage1 I don't even think Oliver considers Reyson as a living being but rather as some piece of Art, as an object of colection.

@NapalmMan10 Technically thats the case, but in this game they aren't angels, though they are very similar. In this they are just herons, which we all know are just birds like swans.

@NapalmMan10 Sorry, I meant bible.

[NapalmMan10]

@sheitruis According to the bile, angels are adrogynous, meaning that they are neither male or female or a lttle in beween. Like Reyson, Pit, and Kaoru (Evangelion) for example.
