Talk:Victory theme

If anyone has knowledge on a certain franchise's Victory Theme, then they are welcome to modify the article. Also, if anyone could word the introduction better and improve it, then that would be great. Thanks. --OK'Ssuka?--

Incorrect Victory Themes

I'm here to say that the Zelda theme and Yoshi theme are wrong. The Zelda one is based off of the main theme from the first game in that series. The Yoshi one begins with the Title screen of Yoshi's Story, and ends with the 30 Fruits Eaten fanfare of Yoshi's Story.Amycats2 (talk) 23:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Villain themes

Does anyone have any insight into why Metaknight is the only character within a franchise to recieve a unique victory theme? It is clear to me why his theme should sound different from Kirby or even Dedede, but I don't see why certain other characters didn't recieve a simillar treatment. Frankly, it seems inapropriate that, say, Bowser should share the same theme as Mario, as they are disimilar and opposing.

One theory that might justify a character like Bowser sharing the happy Mario theme would be that Bowser is sometimes portrayed as a friendlier character, participating in activities such as tennis, kart racing, etc., and even joining Mario's party from time to time. Although, I don't feel that this is the Bowser portrayed in SSBB.

Ganondorf, on the other hand, while starkly evil, IS closely intwined with Link and Zelda so far as the Triforce is concerned, but again the victory theme seems far more suited to these Heroic charactes.

Certainly there are arguments for either side, but it seems very odd to me that only Metaknight would be the exception (possibly the distinction lies with his uniquely ambiguous and mysterious allegiance), and I was curious if anyone knew or could theorize any explanations for this, whether relating to thier game roles, or perhaps something from a more practical developmental standpont.

Sakurai mentioned he wanted to do it in his bloggish sort of thing before the Dojo as we know it went up. As for why MK got special treatment, it's clear Sakurai has a teeny bit of favoritism regarding his characters (two kirby newcomers, all kirby characters play important roles in SSE, he voices Dedede etc.)

I would like to be able to include a brief sentence in the article, if it can be appropriately articulated.Zixor (talk) 06:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I would like bowser's theme, the Ganondorf fanfare, and special treatment for more characters. Anyway, I would suggest turning this to the forums. XXXXX Talk to me OR ELSE! 03:58, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Section titles

How does changing the section titles mess the page up? --Trogga (talk) 01:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Click here. Once you're there click on the Star Fox 64 Main Theme link. It should not only take you back to this article, but also specifically to the Star Fox section because it was linked to: [[Fanfare#Star Fox 64 Main Theme]] the text that appears after the "#" links to the title of that particular section. If the title is changed, the link won't work. It won't mess up this page, but it can mess up the various links from other pages. Bman87301 (talk) 12:18, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Why not just correct the other pages? --Trogga (talk) 18:31, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Because there are dozens of them. If you want to track down all of them and change them, go ahead. --Bman87301 (talk) 00:58, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Why not just let anyone fix any dead link they see? It's not that big of a deal. --Trogga (talk) 01:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Layout

Would it be beneficial to lay this out in a more tabular fashion, and have the audio files in the table along with the descriptions? Miles (talk) 17:04, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

I don't like that idea. It seems wrong. Forbidden7File:GWHeadSSBB.png 18:12, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

Honestly seems like a good idea to me. I do love organization. MtnDewholic 9000File:PokemonSymbol.png 21:44, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

I do too,but I just like it like this. So I guess we'll let's try it Miles way and see what what others think. Forbidden7File:GWHeadSSBB.png 23:33, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

Move

Me and Clarinet Hawk have had a short discussion on this talk page, and we say this page needs moving to Victory Theme, as Fanfare would, in most instances, be incorrect English. There's a redirect in the way, so I'll need an admin to do this. Toast ltimatum 05:09, 18 April 2012 (EDT)

Change all instances of fanfare to victory theme, and the move will be made. Omega Tyrant 05:15, 18 April 2012 (EDT)

Currently rewriting this anyway, so I guess we'll wait until I've finished that. Toast ltimatum 05:26, 18 April 2012 (EDT)
