Battle B2 (Shoji Meguro Rock PS2 Remix) | Shin Megami Tensei IV

- This is a cover of Battle B2 by Ryota Kozuka from Shin Megami Tensei IV. I have remade the track in the style of Shoji Meguro's rock battle tracks around the PS2 era of SMT games, as if Shin Megami Tensei IV released on the PS2 and this track was composed by Meguro.
Hands down one of the biggest fan favourite tracks in the franchise, one of mine as well and for good reason, it's incredible. I've gotten plenty of requests for this one and it was kind of intimidating! Unlike my other remixes which were originally composed by Meguro or done in a similar enough compositional style, this one kind of sticks out. It is quite obviously made by Ryota Kozuka, which is always a good thing, that man knows how to make a battle track. That means however that simply swapping instruments wouldn't be enough to give it a Meguro sound. But I also didn't want to drastically change the most important elements of the track, notably the bells and guitar solo, neither of which are very Meguro. But I would be doing a disservice to this track if I didn't get the bells right, and I think I made the right choice. I took the most liberties with the last section, taking plenty of inspiration from tracks like Master of Shadow and Darkness from Persona 3.
Of course, Meguro's signature guitar tone is always the most important element of these remixes, for a more detailed breakdown of how I recreated it, I'd advise checking out the description for the cover of An Honour Befitting That Name I made here: • An Honor Befitting Tha...
Alongside that is the use of piano, background strings, some organ and clean guitar with plenty of delay. No trumpets this time! Not Raidou enough. I heard the feedback with the last cover, don't worry! I've toned down the drums a bit this time, particularly the snare.
I hope you enjoy the remix, Shin Megami Tensei IV is one of my favourites alongside its soundtrack, and I hope I've done them both some justice. - Hudba

He did not end it thus 😔
Sorry...
Walter moment.
@@-penta-1357He did actually. It just ended with the player's death instead of the minotaur 's
Great now I'm imagining Aru trying to end it thus and doing the shocked face when it fails
Waltuh. Put your Agi away, Waltuh.
I'm not smirking right now, Waltuh.
I am the one who ends it thus.
WE'RE SHOOTING AGI ON THE MINOTAUR WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥
I’ll End It Thus!!! 🔥
Minotaur smirks...
HOY WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I beat Minotaur with Walter on Master difficulty WOAH ladies ladies one at a time please!

Song was so fire that Minotaur smirked
Wait...

BEHOLD MY DEMONS!!!!
*proceeds to get packed up by Minotaur*
THIS IS STRAIGHT TRISAGION +9 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is definitely how SMT 4 would sound if it was released back in 2006-2009 and this is honestly the best B2 remix ive heard on youtube.
🗿
FAX!
WE MAKING IT OUTTA NARAKU WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely enjoyed my journey through cyberpunk dystopian Tokyo when smt iv released on ps2 back in 2006, such fond memories
I really like how your cover maintains the cyberpunk vibe of the original song while not going too heavy with it.
I also love how you did the Bell section justice, a lot of Battle B2 covers either make the bells sound too quiet in comparison to the guitar or just make it sound not as good as the original imo.
Overall, a very good cover and a nice look into a world where Meguro composed SMT 4's music, although I think I still prefer Kozuka's version of the song for it's uniqueness and pure hype it gives me.
Oh man, SMT IV! I loved the 3DS port and it's followup, but the PS2 original is still one of the coolest RPGs on the entire console's library! Funny how they redid the entire soundtrack from scratch in the port though, wonder what the reason for that was.
Yeah i had a lot fun the ps2 version has a special place in my heart ❤
3ds port was Epic
I wish I had a chance to get it on PS2. So glad they released it on 3ds after all that time so now I can play it.
For real your remixes are some of the best "what if modern thing was old thing" remixes on yt. Most do it as a joke, but your remixes are genuinely cool and great to listen to!
Like, my jaw dropped when that piano dropped, because that's really what Meguro would do. The amount of skill it takes to interpret someone else's work and execute it this way is aweosome
We smirking with this one
When me and my cousin Manolo played SMT IV in his PS2 during the summer time. Good memories
This hit harder than Charge + Labrys Strike
What about Charge + Labrys Strike while smirking?
Absolutely perfect!!! I'll be listening to this on loop holyyyy
OMGGGGGGGG LETS GOOO ELEVENWAV
UR REMIXES ARE FIRE TOO‼️
dangit now i need to listen to your sound test cover after this :D
🔥🔥🔥THE MINOTAUR SMIRKED🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Smirk!
WE’RE ENDIN IT THUS WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥🔥
man you really nailed his sound from that era. this shit rips.
SMTIV as a PS2 game would be so cool lmao (amazing remix btw, jealous of how accurate you've gotten the guitars to sound)
NOW *THIS* IS A SAMURAI'S SKILL🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
HELLISH BRAND🔥🔥🔥
INFERNO OF GOD 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SUNNY RAY🔥🔥🔥
This needs to play if Raidou and Flynn ever fought together, synchronize perfectly 🔥 🔥v
Man what I'd do for extended versions of these...
My remixes are a bit different!
I'LL REMIX IT THUS
Love your work, keep it up!
BEHOLD, MY REMIX
we're making it out of Mikado with this one 🔥💯
This is rather impressive, and its definitely one of the better Battle B2 remixes out there. I actually hope to see a remix for Battle F8 - To Stand Against God in this style some time in the future.
Boy do I have news for you...
Worst time to forget my headphones at home. Can't listen to this certified banger until 8. What a blunder
This is one of the best fan covers I’ve ever heard, this feels exactly like something you’d hear in an actual atlus game, great job man!
reminds me of the original yakuza soundtrack, very slightly, amazing
Yeah I kinda hear "End of the Drama/Dogma" in it now that you mention it
@@PhoenixDownedexactly man
Dude, the tone is genuinely something I could see Meguro using. Sounds just like him. Nice one, loved this version!
Oh boi another BANGER remix 🎉
WE'RE PROLONGING IT THUS WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been waiting for this!
IT'S BEGUN
GRAND BATTLE WE RATTLE
MY DEMONS ARE A BIT DIFFERENT
This is awesome dude, really good job
WE'RE NOT MAKING IT OUTTA NARAKU WITH THIS ONE, THE MINOTAUR'S GONNA FUCK OUR SHIT UP 💯🔥🔥🔥
Beats from the timeline where walter actually ended it thus.
bro, this is honestly one of the best recreations of an smt ost i've ever seen. the way you entirely replicate the style perfectly amazes me. actually breathtakingly great, you went hard. almost like it were an actual meguro ost.
on the other hand i don't know if you're willing to take requests, but if you did persona 5's yaldabaoth in this style it would be pretty damn cool!
i finished smt iv a few months ago and i still think about it daily. i’m happy people are still making amazing covers of the ost even after all these years, it truly is a one-of-a-kind game. thank you for this 🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
holy motherfucking shit this is good
all your remixes are fire, I'm waiting for battle-c3
SHEEESH 🔥🔥🔥
SUCH IS A SAMURAI SKILL 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥❗️❗️❗️❗️
OH MY GOD LETS GOOOOOOO
Love the work! You perfectly capture the feel of the PS2 era. I would love to see the Strange Journey law theme
sounds great! what software do you use for the drums?
Thanks! Honestly just Logic Pro X's built in drum library, with a loooot of EQ and layering, etc.
SOOOOOO GOOOOOODDDDDD
make one for the shiva battle theme from smtv
When Raidou uses an Agi bullet vs. an enemy who nulls fire:
Fire asf... so much so that this cover casted Trisagion on me
Funny aside, very nice work! The somewhat unique-sounding approach with the part at 0:47 and then the one directly after it at 1:16 make this one of my favourite remixes of any Megami Tensei track in general. I hope you'll keep making these 'cause they're great ⭐
Sounds incredible unexpectfully awesome!!
Even better in a some parts the original for my~ 🎉
Walter: You know why I'll use agi no matter what?
Flyn: Why?
Walter: "EVERYTHING IN THE GAME IS FIRE!"
Flyn: "Except you casting it."
Walter: ( ' o ' )
Fantastic cover
Hot damn that's good
Yo this is sick! The attention to detail is crazy, the guitar is spot on! It'd be cool if you used that to rerecord the solos from Nocturne!
Ps. Do you have a Bandcamp or something where people can tip you cause you definitely deserve it for your hard work.
SMIRK!
This sounds awesome, nicely done!
come, samurai. put on a good show.
i shall dine on your blood that wishes to mingle with the unclean 🔥🔥🔥
"I'll end it thus"
*shellshock face*
Such is a Samurai skill with this cover
🔥🔥🔥🔥FALLEN GRACE‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥
NOW COME, SAMURAI
PUT ON A GOOD SHOW
Absolute banger
Banger
“Put up a good show, samurai”
I want someone to mod this into Persona 3 (vanilla or Reload) as a special enemy fight. SO good.
POV: A Minotaur with a capote challenged you to a duel.
Freaking HELL
Giving Demons equipment is the first thing that Fire Emblem crossover was going to give us!
XD
SPOT ON MATE LOVE THIS
This goes so HARD.
1:14 was mad cathartic
Nice
SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IGN: " The soundtrack is pretty forgettable "
*Fans still making remixes of said soundtrack to this day*
😂
LETS FUCKING GO WALTER 🔥🔥🔥
FINALLY
MAD LAD CAST AGI AND MADE IT WOROK
A fav

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA good job AAAAAAAAAAAA FIRE

This is so fire!!! (Get it?)
Could you do A2 next?
dude, this rocks!!!! how did you get the tone like meguro's? in your other vid you mentioned a line6 pod-- any more details?
Lit! 🔥
banger
yo it would be sick if you did some covers of songs that aren't composed by meguro
like if you covered some songs from TWEWY or KH that'd be sick
HELL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Holy shit
SO FREAKING GOOD RAHHHH
Please do a Persona 5 track! I'm curious as to what you'd do with a song from that game!
That or have you considered doing music from media outside of the SMT series?
1 - Makukaja
2 - Taronda
3 - concentrate
4 - bufu
5 - weakness
6 - smirk
7 - rince and repeat and pray Walter won’t fuck up this time
WE MAKING THE MINOTAUR SMIRK WITH THIS ONE‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🐂 `, )
Don't let the Minotaur listen to this one, he might smirk.
I almost didn't recognize the Gamelan Slamdown theme at first!
XD
Can you do Catherine Full Body next? 👀
これは非常にいい仕事です
