The time has come! Starting next week, we’ll be having another special month (well…not quite “month”, but we’ll call it that anyway): VG Arch Rivals Vol. 2!
This time, we have another bunch of Arch Rival mixes, featuring four legendary good guy vs bad guy constellations and one fan suggestion. There were many discussions going on last time which are true “rivals” and which are just “enemies”. For that matter, and since we mostly have protagonist vs final boss constellations, allow me to add some detailed thoughts and arguments when I upload those mixes, so don’t forgot to follow the stuff I post here as well!
The loser of the voting we had a few weeks ago and the last upload before Arch Rival Month 2.
What should have been a Heart of Fire remix as implied by the voting we had, it turned out into a Castlevania-something-megamix. Although it might not be as “mega” as implied…
So at last it contains a lot of other songs as well, let me list them here:
Heart of Fire, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow; the main theme of the song, the theme of Julius Belmont
Dance of Illusions, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon; helps transitioning the intro into the main song
Vampire Killer, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon; underlines Julius’ duties as a Belmont descendant
Divine Bloodlines, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (also Dracula X); theme of Richter Belmont, my favorite of the Belmont’s and a really cool theme at that, which plays in a burning town, so it kinda fits~
Trouble!, Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi; there is a part in Heart of Fire that sounds just like that, so I thought why not exchange those parts~
Last Battle, Cave Story; serves as an epic intro and helps overcome the more uninteresting parts
I don’t know why, it just turned out like that…sorry to those who were hoping for more focus on the Heart of Fire theme :/

The Deku Rave (which was posted some weeks ago) got a lot of praise by the fans. However, there was a notable amount of (justified) criticism this time as well.
To counter this criticism (and to allow people who like the song to get more out of it) I made another version, which I call the Scrub Edit. Basically, the original was finished a bit too early, so I took the time to revise it significantly with more variations to keep you interested. Now I can only hope that the criticism on this version is a bit more positive~
