The Unofficial Super Smash Bros. Melee Arrangement Project
It's a great game with great music, and now the section on site is more up to today's standards \o/ . I worked on some of these a while ago and decided to post this for others to help if they wish. I'll help check over completed sheets, and any participation is encouraged!

Key:
Black – Unclaimed
Red – On site, but needs to be fixed/replaced
Purple – On site, but only needs minor patches (like the url or title)
Orange – Claimed/In Progress
Blue – Completed
Green – In submissions
Green – On site and great
*signifies that it's an edit as opposed to an original arrangement
**extremely similar to the original song, if not a direct port altogether; probably not worth arranging

Awesome, great project choice! I have a few duets lying around which might be of use to someone trying to arrange a solo version. I'll try and find some time to dig them up and give them a polish.

I'm pretty sure Bespinben did some SSBM replacements a while ago which never ended up on the site. It might be worth asking him what the situation is with those.

I wouldn't mind putting elbow grease into this project, but preferably, I would like to put some time into the official projects first.

Sweet :3

I looked through his PAT and all of the ones he posted publicly are:
- Opening
- Corneria
- Hyrule Temple
- Fountain of Dreams
- Final Destination
(the links are dead, but Latios likely has all of them)

Whenever you can is fine with me

Sweet! The Melee section (really, the whole Smash Bros. section) needs overhauling.

I did the original Ice Climbers NES victory theme a while back, so I might as well do the Melee version as well. I'll let you know if I want to start anything else.

Okay, I've got a workable version of the IC victory theme. It sounds a bit weird when transcribed to piano, so I'd appreciate any feedback on this:

Ice Climbers' Victory
MUS - Original

Zeila

How's this?

- You were missing a dynamic marking, so I put forte at the beginning
- I widened the margins a bit
- The composer info was slightly to the right, but the arranger one was fine
- I fixed the measure numbers since the pickup measure technically doesn't count as measure 1
- I put staccatos on the first eighth note of beat 2 in measures 1, 2, and 3 (RH/LH), and beat 1 of m1 and 3 (LH); in m4 there are staccatos on the first and third eighth notes
- Since it would be impossible to play the interval where the trill starts, I put the harmony in the LH staff
- Speaking of the harmony, you missed some C's on beat 2, and a B on beat 3.5
- I wrote out the trill as an eighth note followed by a triplet
- m2 first eighth note is an F#
- I got rid of the lower octave notes in the first two beats of measure 2, as well as all of the RH in m4
- I put a C on beat 2.5 of m2 (and m4) and had it tie over
- m3 beat 1 has G's throughout the triplet, there should be C's instead of a D and D# on beat 2, and there's no D# on beat 3
- I got rid of the harmony notes in the last measure, and had the LH double the RH in a lower octave
- I put an 8va over the last measure (RH)

The rhythms still sound slightly off compared to the original, but I think it works better this way rather than how you have it right now. I also edited the OP and put the one's Bespinben did as claimed/in progress for now

Yeah. I was having a lot of trouble trying to discern the rhythm(s) in this one, but I agree that the way you have it works pretty well.

Quote from: Zeila on August 02, 2017, 01:19:51 PMHow's this?
Absolutely perfect. Thank you.

And I guess while I'm on this Ice Climbers kick, I'll go ahead and take Icicle Mountain as well.

I've had a Balloon Fight replacement for a while now. Might be a good time to share :P

Balloon Fight
                         

Zeila

Awesome :3

The only things I can say about it are that the composer should just be Hirokazu Tanaka (since it's a direct port) and since there's no 'fine' present, I think a plain D.C. would be better than D.C. al Fine

oh, and I'll be making a fanfare collection sheet of tracks 64-79

Gavst3r, while I may be guilty with arranging this theme's extremely similar version from Balloon Kid, (along with the rest of its OST,) is there any point in arranging this under Melee? From what I'm hearing, there's been no attempt by the Melee sound team to remix the original, so why not submit it as "[NES] Balloon Fight - 'Bonus Round'", and have the current sheet on-site under Melee deleted? I don't see why not.
