0:55 The chord progression in the choir here I can barely find in any other remix and yet they're the actual chords used in the original song. So glad this remix actually used this progression it makes this section sound so much more epic.

Doing the DPCM for this must have been a huge pain, great job [BIG BRAN]

i didn't think you'd do it but you did!! love that you extended the ghost fight bit at the end (...also for a second I thought the spamton neo strings were part of the note visualizer)

I seriously need to get faster with my arrangements... Great job! You're the only one I know that takes the full potential of VRC6 and it sounds really amazing.

1:08 It's barely there, but I can still hear the voice. Love it. For some reason hearing that semi-hidden voice is my favourite part of BIG SHOT

Holy shit doing that volume control on the DPCM must've been an absolute pain in the ass lmao, my respects to you

My serotonin levels _skyrocket_ when someone finishes the "Dummy!" riff at the end of this song. Amazing work as always!

Knew it was only a matter of time until you'd arrange this song, and unsurprisingly it came out great!

He pulled the strings and made them ring

* IN HONOR OF MY BRAND NEW COMEBACK SPECIL... * I'LL BE CRUSHING YOU INTO [[8 BITS, 4 BITS, 2 BITS!!!]] PHENOMENAL work with this cover! The part at 0:55 with THE WORLD REVOLVING is my favorite part of BIG SHOT, and you did amazing with it! I'm glad that the EarthBound "WOW!" samples are in this remix, along with the hidden vocals at 1:08 (Even if they're a bit quiet) I also like the Dummy! melody at 4:35 being finished, you did great with this entire cover!

the added harmonies actually make this sound a lot more rich and flavorful than the original BIG SHOT

As soon as I heard the 8-bitified phone dingle I knew this was gonna be good. Not only was I not disappointed, this blew me the [Fifty Percent Off] away. 0:54 in particular is amazing and actually sounds even better than Toby's original. I am amazed. Thank you so much for the work you put into this!! 💜

Branflakes, I've been thinking about why I like your tracker remixes lately. I think it's because your transcriptions do not lose any instruments in the process. When other artists-from chiptune artists to pianists to violinists on KZfaq-transcribe, they all drop out some instruments/lines of notes in their transcription and that's fine on their own but it doesn't provide as much depth as when all instruments are present. Thank you for taking the time to painstakingly transcribe most, if not all, instruments out of each and every song. Your hard work shows. I'll always look forward to your new works.

i love the phone sound mimic that plays consistently throughout the whole song! it was a really cool detail that i almost missed the first time but noticed on the second time listening. realizing it went on the whole song and not just specific parts was really funky

I think I speak for musicians in the comments when I say this sounds as complicated to replicate as it is to listen to it. Remixes are very delicate when it comes to arrangements because it's hard to transcribe someone else's intentions into your own instruments and get the same point across slightly differently, but this sounds perfectly transcribed and even with some personality. (I noticed the interesting dynamic volume for the lead melody.) Even the increased octave too. It really adds to the heroism and I think even the original would benefit from the slight variation of repetition to emphasise it's sense of urgency more. Great remix, mister. It takes a good musician to fix up something like this and it's very inspiring.

yoo, you included the background vocals! most remixes don't but i'm glad you kept it in :D

0:55 YESS. Why does almost no one uses this chord progression even though they're the actual chords! Loving this cover man :D

This is like hearing the song for the first time all over again Thank you. Seriously

Wow. At the very start it sounds like a chiptuned version of the Orchestral Hit sample! And the sound effect at 0:20? I love the timbre of the lead at 1:08, and it even changes up like it were of an electric guitar! I also loved the triangle wave kicking in at 2:19! What an awesome cover in just chiptune! Bravo!

Anyone who adds an extra jingle at the end instead of ending it abruptly like the original immediately gets a one up for me, great cover as always Bran!

Wow, I'm impressed how he "recreated" the background's voice, amazing!

I found your channel at random once, and I've been listening in like a damn champ! Love your ARMS Grand Prix 8 one! Best version imo!

HOLY SHIT YOU EVEN INCLUDED THE PULLS THE STRINGS AND MAKES THEM RING PART YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND

you hit so many details that others just *skip over* in this cover, all with limited channels amazing stuff man i love this

this is the best chiptune cover of a song ive ever heard also the glitchy effect at the beginning with Spamton coming down was awesome

First rendition of Big Shot where ghost fight is finished. I don't know how many times I would finish the tune in my head just for it to be cut short. Awesome work as always!

I love your covers bruv. Keep up the awesome work

I’m amazed at how you nail every single one of your remixes, they are always a blast to listen to!

Absolute banger. Nice touch by finishing the dummy theme at the end of the video. Great rendition!

youtube just generated this at the top of a playlist labled "music of japan"

Been waiting for this lol thanks

luv u branflakes

I think this is the only remix that nailed the 0:54 part. Perfect harmony

I'm gonna give you +100 for actually finishing ghost fight at the end, I never knew I needed that until right now

Finally. You've done all three. And not a surprise at all, it sounded very, VERY good.

not gonna lie, spamton's strings tricked me by making me think they were notes more than i'd like to admit

i thought spamton neo's strings were notes and i wondered what sound they were making

This is AMAZING!! Keep up the great work :)

Playing this through my Famicom is a transcendent experience. This is some unreal work!

Quality stuff [My Dude]! The chords in the second part went hard and the ending was a cherry on top!

bro this is so poggers man keep up the good work

this is mind-blowingly impressive. hats off, bran.

BRANFLAKES!?! WAS THAT A [BIG SHOT] JUST NOW!? WOW!! I’M SO [Proud] OF YOU, I COULD [Like and Subscribe] YOU!

HOLY [[Cungadero]] THIS IS ONE [Heaven]LY ARRANGEMENT! I am in love with how you mixed this, harmonies you couldn't hear easily before shine so much brighter in this cover, _especially_ in the freedom lietmotif section. I was amazed when I first heard that part isolated from the original BIG SHOT and you brought it out wonderfully! Also finishing off the Dummy! part was cute.

WOW! THIS REMIX IS [Fire] THAT’S [Fire] AND [Burning Pain] IN MY [Heart]

Hearing the end of Ghost Fight/Dummy! at the end was so much more satisfying than I could have expected. Phenomenal work as per usual!

I just thought how cool it would be if there was a boss that uses these music graph things (idk how are they actually called) as attacks

Been waiting for this one!

I've been waiting for this!

Oh hell ye, I've been waiting for this ever since chapter 2 release, and your cover did not disappoint at all!

Even recreating the vocals REALLY good work!!

i love that you'v used the voice samples

2A03+VRC6 is a beautiful chip and you're able to make the most of it. This channel is pure gold.

Love the little tiny details and pitchbends you throw in. The little things really make a huge difference in this case. Orchestral hits also sound amazing, those are difficult to pull off with arps. Kudos.

YOOOOO, Famitracker seems to be a nice thing, and YOU do just prove that. That thing here sounds Amazing =D. You truly are a [[BIG SHOT]] now. The Fact that it could play exactly like this on a real NES even makes it feel more nostalgic, i like that NSF file system, even my old MP3 Player plays it which saves me a lot of storage.

Amazing work! ^^

this video and this channel is so underrated

I love the pace of this one!

damn bro the octopus playing this song is cracked

THANK YOU FOR THAT ENDING. GOD i've been waiting too long to hear that resolve

OK BUT THE WORLD REVOLVING MELODY JUMPING UP AN OCTAVE FOR THE SECOND REPETITION AT 1:08 GOES SO HARD AND I WILL NOW BE FOREVER DISAPPOINTED THAT THE ORIGINAL DOESN’T DO THAT

1:08 love how the world revolving melody goes up a pitch here

Amazing job!

Branflakes you [little sponge], you did it again, another great cover

I can't resist listening to this on repeat.

This is awesome omg

Just imagine if an old game had a banger like this

Excellent work!!

Oh ho? Very nicely done "Big Shot"!

The air crackles with freedom

As a musician myself and someone who considers themselves to be decent ish at harmonisation, I'm actually really impressed at how you've been able to recreate those harmonies. If I was to do something like this, it would actually take me a decent bit of studying this song because there's a lot of little really subtle things. Also what the hell, this song is just a jam

This is hands down the best 8-bit remix of this song that I've ever heard. Nice!

Very well made, good job

the [[trilogy]] is complete now!

Je pense qu'il s'agit là de meilleure remix de ce morceau ! J'aime beaucoup la fin :)

dear god how do you not have a million subscribers this is awesome

idk how youre doing this but ive been listening to this on loop

Arranged by the classic you've come to expect!

Been waiting forever...worth it.

this gave me goosebumps. nice cover!

Okay idk why but the phone ring sound is really pleasing. (As is the whole thing!)

I wonder what it would sound like if the notes his strings were on were being constantly played.

i love how the earthbound wow is still there along with most of the other vocals

This sounds amazing, just like always!

2 years and this still hits

this is so sick

doing god's work yet again. brilliant.

My life wasn't complete without a branflakes remix of this song

I feel like the vocals are a little too quiet compared to the original but other than that it's 🔥

Perfect Work!

Really cool!

i have nothing to say! this is great!

The covers are always top tier but the animated sprites are such a good consistent detail!

Sounds even better in VRC6-

i think this is my favorite big shot cover out of all of em, honestly

I'm vibing so hard, this cover slaps
