sorry arachnophobes

For m21-24, I took a bit of liberty with the string arpeggios so they're a bit more straightforward and pianistic.
Official track lists this as "Boss Battle #6 (First Half)", but I use "[Boss Name] Battle ([First/Second] Half)" for these boss themes for clarity and better findability.

Makes sense

Bunch of small things, overall looks great:
- m. 3: the upper octave notes start on beat 2 (earlier than beat 3)
- The three-note chords in m. 13/15 sound suuuper muddy...
- I think the right hand chords in m. 20 could include the lower octave note too
- The last note of m. 20 should be G instead of G# (although this would be close to the G strike in the left hand?)
- I feel like stylistically the last RH figure in m. 21 should be symmetric? i.e. start with G# C E instead of the low E (which also makes the apex hard to play). I do hear m. 22 beat 3 as you wrote it though
- m. 27-28 - how about including the fifth in all these sus4 chords?
- The D.S. could be poked a teeny bit up and right

That's true, but I didn't really know how to incorporate the extra bass choir line in a different way. I deleted the lower note of the three note chords, does this work better?

- I think the right hand chords in m. 20 could include the lower octave note too

Yup! I also noticed I was missing some minor seconds in m17-18, so I added those in too.

- The last note of m. 20 should be G instead of G# (although this would be close to the G strike in the left hand?)

The l.h. plays staccato so there should be enough time to restrike the G (depending on how weighty your piano is :p), so fixed!

- m. 27-28 - how about including the fifth in all these sus4 chords?

I wonder how I didn't here these in the original at first lol, added them in!

Fixed all other things too!

Yeah, I think that works nicely!

Everything else looks good, so approved

This looks great.  Some small comments:

-It's kind of muddy but I hear the F# -> G in bar 20 (left hand on the second system) as Gn -> G#.
-Just a suggestion, but have you considered not doing octaves in the left hand of bar 29-30, so that you can emulate the choir coming in at bar 31 by adding the octave in?  I know the strings are in octaves as well, but it might be nice to get that distinction.
-Please show mercy on the inner ties in 13-15.  They are only very small, and cannot fend for themselves.

I think I prefer keeping it in octaves, because the original seems to build up there, but dropping either the top or bottom note feels more like a drop-out.

Fixed the other two things though! The ties have grown up to be strong adult ties now

Looks good!  Accepted.
