I was commissioned to remix a song from Bloodstained in the style of Smash Ultimate! I was really excited to take on a song from this series - the Bloodstained games have amazing soundtracks, composed by many musical alums of the Castlevania series! Seeing that the games have a lot of the heart and soul of Castlevania, I thought it would make sense to draw inspiration from Ultimate's amazing Castlevania remixes - so I tried to capture the iconic gothic rock-orchestra style the series is known for!
This remix is a bit different than my previous ones in terms of the approach I took with the arrangement. It doesn't originate from older hardware, so I didn't have to "modernize" it with more realistic instruments or add any more complexity to the song. And I didn't need to make major changes to the song in order for it to be suited for Smash either - the original song already has the energy and intensity for a Smash battle. So, I just tried to create a somewhat different but tasteful take on the original song, adding my own flourishes and ideas here and there. The biggest way I made it feel distinct was to incorporate the bassline from the Curse of the Moon version, "Sunder the Night" - I think that helped it feel like a "new" take on the song! But my goal wasn't to "improve" the original, rather I just wanted to create a new rendition in the vein of a remix we might hear in Smash Ultimate.
Also, I know that Bloodstained isn't part of the Castlevania series and thus a song would be categorized as "miscellaneous" in Smash, but it just felt wrong to have the song playing over any other stage besides Dracula's Castle!
