It's not even epic faux latin chanting, it's a seemingly pop singer singing the theme for a super smash bros game, and I would have thought this was something worth discussing after melee and brawl had openings without pop singer and lyrics.

It was discussed. But there's not much depth to it, so it quickly left the discussion.

Also that's voice actor Abby Trott doing the singing. Erina Koga does the Japanese version.

I guess the big problem is the song was made for Japanese lyrics and then hamfisted through an English translation that results in the vocals feeling rushed in other to maintain the beat with a questionable rhyming scheme.

The singers performance was fantastic but the song itself just isn't very good tbh. That's not her fault.

They should have just used the non vocals version that they used when they first unveiled Ultimate

We did talk about it, from the moment it was first heard.

Biggest issue with the theme is that there are like 17 versions of it in the game through menus, title screen, and various versions for stages.

You get so bombarded by that fucking song it's insane.

I constantly try to spam to the menus ASAP to avoid hearing it. Something about the song just irritates me.

Actual crime that the Melee menu music is locked behind finishing World of Light. I still maintain it's the best menu music in the series.

I actually really like it, but everyone's different.

Also you can change menu music so you don't have to hear it if you don't want to.

Smash has had this problem since Brawl. Sakurai seems to think that just because it's the game's main theme, we should hear like 50 version of it through their respective games, and it does get tiresome.

Which one? "Menu 1" is eh, but "Menu 2" is fantastic.

All of it gets unlocked. You outright can't change/adjust the menu music until you beat World of Light.

*shrug* I don't have a problem with it. The piano version is among the ones I've set for menu music, along with Menu 2 (Melee), Coin Launcher and Fighter Selection (64).

Because it's completely superfluous.

"Oh shit, vocals!" lost its charm when it stopped being a neat technical trick on platforms that shouldn't have been able to do that.

It was probably over shadowed by the World of Light reveal it self

The Japanese version sounds like Neon Genesis Evangelion

I dig it.

The fact that the lyrics don't "fit" is just a part of the charm.

Huh that feels almost melee-esque, I could have sworn I've heard that theme that plays when zelda and sheik appear before, don't know where.

Also agreed though some epic latin chanting would help, that's the one thing that Brawl did right (well that and the smash ball)
