The "Fixing the Sheets" Project

I know Jompa already made a replacement of SSBM Fountain of Dreams for Fixing the Sheets project (a good one at that), but I didn't feel like it emulated the original quite right. It was really... chordy, too, unnecessarily so. As such, I felt inclined to make my own transcription. Enjoy~

(And Jompa, if you're reading this, please don't take offense. Your arrangement was really was good, it's just I really want the SSBM replacements to be as best as they can be.)

Updated the second post.

I hope the new format is somewhat easy to read.

Really great, Bespinben. My only criticism is the last bar. I think the best way to finish it would be to use the final bar of the "Smashing...Live!" version of Fountain of Dreams. It would make it much more in character than the cadence you put at the end. Here's a link to the "Smashing....Live" version:

Listen from about 2:45 onwards to get a feel of it.

Quote from: Bespinben on September 30, 2012, 05:07:51 PMHaha, thanks. I was thinking of restating the somber intro for the ending like the "Smashing... Live!" version does, but I just decided not to. Makes it simpler, I guess.

Hmm, we got conflicting opinions here... what to do...

This is the map I probably fought on most, so I thought it should be the next one for which I would make a replacement, since it's got an awesome theme and all. The harmonies around measure 29+ were a pain to transcribe.

(This song is a modulating mess. If you got input on anything concerning accidentals, do share. I think I did an OK-ish job though.)
(In measure 36, by "faux sost.", I am referring to the knock-off sostenuto found in virtually all upright pianos and in some low-end grand pianos, the function of which lifts the dampers off the bass tones. This is essential for the repeated note section.)

Such a soothing song. Wouldn't expect that from your typical fighting game, but then again, Super Smash ain't your typical fighting game. I really like that it's a remake of the same song that plays in the Save Room in Kirby Super Star (and it's remake Ultra) during The Great Cave Offensive, as if the composers were trying to make a statement of how both games involved references to other Nintendo franchises (collecting various items from other franchises in Kirby Super Star, compared to battling various Nintendo characters in Melee).

Oh, and I need help with this track's nomenclature. I did hours of research, and there are two titles I see recurring: "All-Star Rest Area" and "All-Star Intro". SSBM has no official OST release, so there was no way to confirm which was the correct title.
If I could ask a favor, would someone please open up the sound test feature in Melee and tell me what it calls this track? I'd do it myself, but my half-sister last had the disc, and she has no clue where it is :/

I know Warioman already did this one, but his was still missing some parts.

Bespinben, your files for Kirby's victory are all MUS. Aside from that, very well done! You can say exactly the same for the All Stars Rest Area and Final Destination (especially awesome)!

Woops. Fixed.

Thanks! Hope you don't mind my slower interpretation of the tempo in All Star Rest Area. I think I badly messed up with notating the modulations in Final Destination though.

At surface, if one compares my revision here with Hoji's original arrangement on-site, it would seem as if I actually wrote in fewer parts from the original song. However, I think the approach I have taken in this revision works a little bit better for emulating the original song on the piano.

I wrote in "Edited by Bespinben", but now that I compare my replacement here to the original arrangement on-site, I'm questioning if that's a proper descripton :P

I'll let you guys figure out the actual track name for this :P I can't worry myself over details like that when I have so little time left here.

Hey Bespinben, I thought I'd let you know that in Australia, most upright pianos "sostenuto" pedal is actually a silent pedal which places felt against the strings to dampen the sound. So, I can't actually do your final destination transcription. MY LIFE IS RUINED
