We seem to have trapped one of the mods within the forum's code... and we're not sure how to get him out. Oh well, he'll figure it out!

Static arranged his own replacement not too long ago, and he's an updater now... this should be interesting...

I don't think people typically get too mad about being preempted in submitting a replacement lol

The repeated 16ths in the left hand are a bit much. Perhaps only keep the bass note for the first in each pair?

I don't really mind, plus it's always good to have different arrangements floating around to compare and share ideas. It's nice to see another well-done arrangement here!

I like how you kept that other background voice, but it sounds a little muddy in the low register. The bass in general feels a lot heaver than it probably should. Also, like Latios mentioned, the 16ths are a little rough. All the notes and accidentals and stuff are good though.

EDIT: The title should be "Rookie & Popple" not "Popple Battle"

Made this change through most of the song. It sounded a bit empty when the bass is prominent though, so I added octaves to beat 1 to smooth things out some and tweaked measures 9, 25, and 27 slightly to get help from the RH. Also added the 5th to beat 1 of measures 11 and 13 for extra filling. Hopefully taking out half of the sixteenths helps with muddiness
Also changed M. 20 because of voice overlap I didn't notice before

I checked around the internet and it seems like YouTube soundtrack people are kind of split between the two. I went with "Popple Battle" because it's what's already on the site, but did you find an actual source for the title?

Looking good, just a couple of things!
- Could try separating the bass line and the rest of the accompaniment, it gets a bit hard to see the direction at times
- m.26 beat 4.5 should have courtesy flats on the Bb's on top

Seconding what Insig said, and then one other thing: edit the "D.C. al Fine" at the end to say just "D.C" since there is no specified "Fine."

Other than that, this sheet looks and sounds great!
