None of them are objectively better than the other. They have different qualities. The "D/E rank" isn't made to be "better" than the others and it doesn't try to be, it has a different purpose.

@dimentiofomenko 4 года назад

Anki I suppose you may think I don’t know. They all have their own special aspects but this ranking is purely based on our opinions. Even though none tried to be better I still think some are better to the ear than others, for me - of course.

@RyanBeard 5 лет назад

This is absolutely jaw-droppingly incredible. If I could give one piece of constructive criticism, I feel like having someone pretending to play the game live takes away from how impressive it is that the percussion players on the sound effects are so perfectly synced to the video. I know this guy is from Broadway and all, but his overacting on the gameplay kinda takes me out of it. I’d say in the future just be honest with your audience and let us know that the gameplay isn’t actually being played live because this is impressive enough just on its own merit. However, if you think it makes it more of a spectacle having someone pretending to play it, by all means, don’t use my advice.

@ludoprieur6240 5 лет назад

c'mon it's fun

@poppysilver 5 лет назад

IMO I think the novelty of pretending it's played live is actually pretty entertaining, however the overacting by the dude "playing" it does get a little bit grating.

@RyanBeard 5 лет назад

I don’t wanna be too harsh on the guy. Clearly he’s just trying to have fun. I think I’m just biased because when something is so polished and technically impressive in every way, I just want them to convey that in the best way possible.

@leftaroundabout 5 лет назад

The entire thing is completely and ridiculously over the top. The actor just goes with it...

@kaisiacor6553 5 лет назад

Yeah. It would be much cooler and less "clickbaity" if they actually played for real. Even if the band doesn't do the SFX, just doing the music, it would be much more impressive.

@blueblimp 5 лет назад

Video game music is created to be heard as a backdrop to gameplay, including interruptions, so this is a fitting way to play it. I liked how the arrangement changed when in-game the same track would just play again, which is a nice way to stay real without being boring.

@pausebreakreviews 4 года назад

I know this is an older video now, but holy crap this is far and away the best cover of the Super Mario Bros. score I've ever heard - I am so impressed. What really makes this special is the amount of passion, energy and fun you guys put into this. I find that a lot of the time people are too conservative with the Super Mario Bros. music as it's seen as 'sacred' - even Nintendo are incredibly guilty of this. But the result usually ends up feeling flat and boring, like the same songs we've heard a million times. With all the flairs and alternate takes, the bombastic instrumentation and the choir, you guys made SMB's music feel special in a way that nobody else has in a VERY long time. I honestly believe that if Nintendo took a leaf from your book, they could make a whole soundtrack just using the leitmotifs from the first game.
