The Big Band MP Song Thread

For people who like to have a visual reference when they're figuring out a song (I like seeing notes).

Did someone say Guile's theme?

Reference video (I changed the key to make the inputs easier in the first section, sorry if that messes with anyone's head):

Plain text:

Inputs in bold at the end and beginning of sections are the SAME NOTE, just repeated so that you can play your preferred section of the song without having to decipher this too much.

Intro (0:00):

HK HK MP MP HK HK MP HK HK MP MP HK HK MP HK MP HK MP LK+MP LK+MP HK MP LP+HP

HK HK MP MP HK HK MP HK HK MP MP HK HK MP HK MP HK MP LK+MP LK+MP HK MP LP+HP LP+MP

Next part (0:12)

LP+MP MP HK LK+MK MK LK+MK 8LP+HP 8HP MK 8HP MP HK LK+MK LP+HP MP LK+MK 8HP 8LP+HP MK MK LK+MK MP LP+MP MP HK LK+MK MK 8HP LK+MK LK+MK MK 8HP 8LP+HP 8LP+MP 8MP 8HK 8MK 8LK+MK 8MP 8LP+HP 8LP+MP

Next part (0:28):

8LP+MP 8MP 8HK 8LK+MK 8LP+MP 8MP 8HK 8LK+MK 8MK 8HP MK LK+MK MK LK+MK HK MP LP+HP LP+MP 2MK 2MK LP+HP LP+MP

Here's staff notation with inputs for those who care.

Here's the intro to A Cruel Angel's Thesis (the opening theme to Evangelion):

HP/MP+HP/LP/MP+HP/LP/LP/LP/LK/MK+HK/HK/LP/HK/HK/LK/8HP/LP/MP+HP/LK/LK/HK/LK/LK/HP

I could do the rest of the song, but I'm lazy and not very good at the inputs yet.
 
In celebration of BB's new Gato palette, here's how to play Gato's theme in its entirety.

LP+HP/HP/2LK+MK/HP/HP/LP+HP/ - LP+HP/LP+MP/LP+HP/HP/2LK+MK/HP/HP/2LK+MK/ - HP/LP+HP/HP/2LK+MK/2HK/2LK+MK/2HK/2LK+MK/HP/LP+HP/LP+MP/LP+HP/HP/LP+HP

Trying to Big Band-ize the victory theme from Rocket Knight Adventures, Here's what I've got so far:

HP (might have to extend by playing multiple times), d.HK d.LKMK d.LK (extend necessary? dunno), d.HK d.LKMK d.LK HP d.LK d.LKMK d.HK d.LP d.LPMP LP LPHP LP LPMP

Think any changes are necessary? (NOTE: This version's based on how I sheetless-play it as a trombonist-in-learning. Might suck epically.)
 
Here's The first part of The Lives We Tried To Reclaim:

HK/HP/HK/HK/HK/HK/LP/MP+HP/
HK/HP/HK/HK/LK/LP/LP+HP/
HK/HP/HK/HK/HK/HK/LP/MP+HP/
HK/HP/HK/HK/LP+HP/HP/LK/HP/LP/HK/

I want to make some songs, but I really hate sheet music. It all looks like gibberish to me. What am I supposed to do with all the songs I wanna play...? Skullgirls is about to make me learn sheet music, never thought I'd say that.

I suddenly really want someone to make a video of Big Band performing a full Super parry, comboing into his Level 5, and playing Street Fighter 3's Jazzy NYC '99 before finishing the opponent.


"Rare footage of Big Band actually getting angry..." :P

Kinda doesn't work due to how trumpet works. Shame you can't hold notes!
Now I'm interested in seeing Big Band duets for songs that sound too bare with a single trumpet.

Now what would impress me would be Usatei. No wait, scratch that.
What would impress me would be Night of Nights with Big Band. Live on Salty.

I want to use the Saxophone solo from Tom Scott's cover of Jefferson Airplane's Today (also used in Pete Rock's T.R.O.Y.) but I am having a very hard time finding accurate notation for it. I found this
Code:
E Gb Ab Gb E Gb Gb Ab E Gb
Gb Ab A Ab Gb Ab Db A
and it's accurate until the A flat on the second line. I also found this sheet music but it doesn't appear to be accurate (though I am really bad at reading sheet music.) Does anyone here have a good enough ear to help me work out the second half of the solo?
 
I... I did a thing.

... Goddammit, Muro.


Also, we need legit BB Duets. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I'd do it, but I don't know how to Big Band.

so do we get an HP sax?
because why would you remove that?
 
Some kind of trick where we get sax sounds would be great, even if it's just for training mode.

I really liked it! Especially because of Fluttershy Parasoul and Rarity Big Band.

Fatal KO theme would be seriously epic, especially for a EVO moment.


When's Mr Heart palette? (j/k if not just because designs are highly incompatible in everything but girth)
 
That reminds me, I would pay good money for the notation of the Fatal KO music from HnK.

Done.

So, what sum did you agree on?
 
Has anyone done the World 1-1 theme from Mario yet? That's almost a requirement for Youtube videos of anything that makes music (or a sound, really)
 
If anybody could get me notation of Strange Sunset I will love them unconditionally.

Forever.
