Battle 2 / S-Rank Battle (CrossCode) - GaMetal Remix

[@sonicrunn3r895]

Seeing the words “Crosscode” and “GaMetal remix” is one of the most powerful combos to be unleashed upon this world

[@dmoogle2006]

All things eventually crossover.

[@CrossTrash]

And I could NOT be happier

[@franconunez925]

The most powerfull is Lea and cheating, UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS OF CHEATING! YOU DIDN'T ONLY CHEAT THE GAME BUT YOURSE-

[@merimkastrat5846]

@@franconunez925 The cover is more powerful than Sergey Hax.

[@amateraceon5202]

Normally when I get footage I go all out and try to get some fun exciting stuff, this time I got some tame non-spoilery battle footage, if you think the gameplay looks neat then please, BUY THIS GAME AND TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT IT IS SO WORTH IT

[@BotSupportIronValiant]

YES ABSOLUTELY BUY IT PLAY IT AND SPREAD THE WORD

[@bravelybeginner4967]

I do that almost everytime when I talk to someone in voice. I have the game 4 times by the way

[@supersmily5811]

Ahem. Every major cheat code (They have those in New Game +) affects the entire story. Think about that for a moment. EVERY CODE. ENTIRE NEW STORY. This game is good. I approve.

[@merimkastrat5846]

An underrate gem that deserves to be in the spotlight. Yes, recommend to anyone.

[@merimkastrat5846]

@@supersmily5811 YUP, and theres ALTERNATE DIALOGUES based from your choice to which other people reacts to it lmao. Even Lea gets some new expressions based from your choice which never was implemented in New Game, only in New Game+.

[@kernium]

*WE'RE GRINDING TO LEVEL 99 WITH ONLY HEDGEHAGS WITH THIS ONE!* 🎉🎉🎉

[@justinanderson1705]

I like to think this is what Lea hears while her party is begging her to slow down on the massacre

[@SaviourV]

And while most of us hear Apollo's normal version of "Path of Justice" whenever he shows up, it's the version from "CrossCode: The Ultimate Arrange" that's *OBVIOUSLY* playing in his head! 😆

[@cdog483]

As a CrossCode fan and long time fan of yours, I think I jumped out my chair upon seeing this notification pop up! Thanks for always providing Jonny! And for all the fellow fans of the game, Hi! Lea! Hi!

[@emblemblade9245]

Lea wait!

[@suhofey832]

Hi! Lea! Hi!

[@doriszephyr]

[@merimkastrat5846]

Lea!

[@astralshadow6193]

Hi! Lea, Hi!

[@arrowb1381]

Lea! Hi! FANTASTIC cover, the synths especially go so hard and exceed expectations in doing these tracks justice. i'm so glad you did this! and anyone reading this, go check out CrossCode. really cool, great story, AMAZING ost, and awesome characters, especially the girl who became one of my favorite protagonists of all time. you too will become endeared by the word "Hi!" (and if you ever wanna do more CrossCode songs, how about the theme of "best character in the game" Shizuka?)

[@TowaruTsura]

Hi! Wait, Lea Hi!

[@unrealed]

Ooo! Love that you did a CrossCode cover! For anyone that hasn’t played it, it’s a great game!

[@Technonova323]

Bruh i was so confused why the description and outri only said "Hi!" until i realized that’s the only phrase Lea could say at the start of the game. Nice touch!

[@captainrocket9915]

Seeing you call attention to Crosscode brings me no end of joy! It’s a charmingly written game with really tight mechanics! It single-handedly ignited my love for the Action RPG genre! I’d love to see you do more covers of the ost, if only to get more people exposed to it!

[@RHINO_Mk_II]

Perfect ending text at 5:08

[@imptwins]

I did NOT EXPECT THIS. CrossCode was such an out of fucking NOWHERE fantastic game. Like BEWILDERINGLY good. And you did it justice, of course! Of course, all that is to say... LEA >:D

[@luminozero]

This song kept me on the path...OF JUSTICE!

[@GamesProject]

Damn, I barely heard the start of the remix and I'm already unleashing full combos. That makes me want to go back in CrossCode and use the remix for EVEN MORE INTENSE FIGHTS! This is amazing!

[@smashbrolink]

This is really nice; in the actual game, once you start getting stronger & stuff dies fast, it can sometimes be hard to stay in battle long enough to hear the battle themes in full.😂❤

[@kernium]

Unless you know the routes well, in which case you go into a S Rank killing spree.

[@merimkastrat5846]

Remember! Just get stronger gears! You’ll kill faster and which means easier to S Rank. Also know your routes.

[@Atlessa]

As someone who supported this game during early development (not just financially, I also volunteered a lot of time as a Twitch moderator for the Sunday live streams, before they joined a publisher and one of THEIR guys took over.) this warms my heart. It's so great to see people appreciate a game I hold so dearly. Will we be hearing more CrossCode remixes from you? *carefully optimistic*

[@merimkastrat5846]

I’ve been recommending the game to GaMetal for YEARS and its finally in. Though I wanted One Last Trial, I’m just glad the game got in itself, deserves a spotlight.

[@Atlessa]

@@merimkastrat5846 Hi! Lea?

[@MusicHaven1636]

One Last Trial would be great. Covering the Vermillion area, or the dungeon escape sequence would also be amazing.

[@SaviourV]

@@MusicHaven1636 Nominations on my cards also include "Raid", "Infiltration", and "Sapphire Ridge". But damn, Denis Akbulut (the original composer) and HAGANE / Keisuke Hayase (who composed the music for "One Step From Eden" and was also a guest composer for CrossCode) really set the bars high when it came to their music. The latter gets special mention for composing "One Last Trial" in such a way that it leads off from "Mysterious Place" before saying, "You have braved many challenges, but can you face the gods?" That's how it feels.

[@kernium]

@@Atlessa Hi! Lea! Hi! *nods*

[@flumphflumph6021]

Wow. I didn't expect anyone to do a cover of Crosscode music, especially in 2023. Awesome.

[@CorvusCrome]

Knowing how much you cover stuff from lesser-known games, I had hope that you would one day get to Crosscode, and I was very happy to see Lea's silhouette at the end of the last cover. But I didn't think it'd be a two-for-one! Splendiferous!

[@BlazingGlaceon]

As someone who recently streamed CrossCode, playing it for the first time ever, HOO BOY did seeing this thumbnail pop up in my feed make me excited lmao. CrossCode's battle theme is forever burned into my brain now and _thank you so much_ for starting with it first and THEN going into the S-Rank theme 'cause goddamn, one is not complete without the other. For how simple CrossCode's combat is, there's a weird, fun satisfaction to holding onto that S-rank and just, going to town, obliterating enemies for as long as you can. The music certainly helps, and absolutely sells it lol. "How about a little live and let live, Lea?!" SmugLea.

[@merimkastrat5846]

Because of this, Emilie is probably mentally dead from having to keep up with Lea with S Rank metal version kicking in. 💀💀💀

[@BotSupportIronValiant]

FINALLY! Crosscode gets some recognition! If you haven't played it, GO PLAY IT NOW

[@moebiusjdx7288]

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CROSSCODE!!!!! MORE PEOPLE NEED TO PLAY THIS!!!!!! Omg I'm so happy to see this hidden gem get more exposure. It is hands down one of the most awesome action rpgs ever to come out. If this came out in the 90's to early 2000's everyone would be hailing it as an eternal classic!

[@Consolous]

Never heard of this game but your version makes this sound like a perfect rock song with memorable melodies and the keyboard is a nice touch

[@FirelMusic]

I must insist you try the game for yourself! The soundtrack is consistent bangers, and that aside, the writing is some of the best I've seen out of a video game in many years!

[@Consolous]

@@FirelMusic I'll check it out as well as the soundtrack. I may find some cool songs to cover myself. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@sethmachetedemeter]

FINALLY!!! CROSSCODE GETS SOME LOVE FROM SOMEONE I WATCH!!!! This freaking rocked! Pun entirely intended

[@Scorp721]

Awesome cover dude. Crosscode is such a hidden gem. The story, graphics, the platforming and puzzles, how damn fun the combat is, all the pop culture references. I've got well over 100 hours in it and it was well spent.

[@merimkastrat5846]

New Game+ is truly a journey too. Especially the dialogues based from your choice in NG+. 🤣

[@eoeaoe12e]

Damn this sounds amazing, would love to hear you play Shizuka's Boss theme next time!

[@frostlord1246]

I would love to see that too.

[@averybruhman5060]

Bring this comment in da top shall we No seriously the duel between Lea and Shizuka is top-tier story writing of the game.

[@arrowb1381]

Best theme best character (and the Lea and Shizuka story is the best thing in the game)

[@KelpTheGreat]

I'm just here to say that CrossCode is one of the best games I have EVER PLAYED in my LONG history as a gamer. I've played literally thousands and thousands of games, and CrossCode is one of the VERY FEW (like, single digit numbers) that I would give a perfect score of 10/10 to. Also, this remix is awesome and I would love to hear more coverage!

[@GameKnight404]

Seeing CrossCode having some love always makes me smile. Awesome Remix GaMetal!

[@PiePiellow]

omg it's a neco Lea

[@snailgirl6]

*gasps and immediately clicks on anything CrossCode related* We need more love for this indie gaaaaammme!!! I just need to get back into finally beating it...(I kind of ran out of patience for the pyramid puzzles...)

[@-LorDDawi-]

I flipping love CrossCode! GaMetal x CrossCode is a match made in heaven!

[@FrozenithMusic]

Incredible cover man!! I love the keyboard sounds that you used in this one! especially the solo at 03:52 🎹

[@KaiTheLegend]

This is a dream come true!! CrossCode fans unite!!

[@Zaveghunter]

What a wonderful cover!! Wow, S-rank battle sounds sooo good, definitely going up there with the popful mail cover. Guess I'm adding this to my backlog of games because this seems to be up my alley.

[@moldyshishkabob]

This is definitely one of my favorite "indies I've never heard about" games that I randomly decided to pick up. Always glad to see it get more love!

[@Shonenboi]

When I see CrossCode, I click. Amazing remix, as usual !

[@darkknight072]

5 minutes of pure awesomeness can only be summed up with 1 word: "BALLS!"

"They're called VRPs (Virtual Ricochet Projectiles), Carla!" "Psh! NOBODY calls 'em that, Sergey!" 😆😆😆

3:52 onward really lifted my spirit of memories with this game, felt like I had just gone and picked it back up.

[@martinquetzal5346]

Man, I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH! CrossCode does not get nearly enough love. Thank you so much.

[@emblemblade9245]

Holy shit, never expected to see CrossCode! I’m playing it right now on recommendation from a friend, and he’s the first place I heard of the game from, so it’s awesome seeing it show up suddenly in my feed like this!

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Ooh, Crosscode! This has become a big "Hi"ghlight of my night!

[@SaviourV]

*NICE!* Almost thought there wouldn't be much love for CrossCode, over here on KZbin. Sure, there was "The Ultimate Arrange" album last year, but for you to give your own spin on two of my favourite tracks from the game is most impressive indeed. Also, like many have said, *GET (AND PLAY!) THIS GAME!* I may not have finished the main part of it yet, but believe you me, this game *IS* worth it. Now, then.... *LET'S ROCK!* **rushes into a pack of Hedgehags!!**

[@Teachermook]

**CROSSSSSSSCOOOOOOOOODE!** YES! ONE OF THE *BEST* INDIE GAMES EVER!!!

[@jorgeelias385]

This reminded me that i still have to take back onto this game! it was really fun but i reset my progress since i moved from gamepass to steam This theme SLAPS

[@CheesieTubes]

wHAT SPECTACULAR TIMING!! I beat CrossCode just a few days ago; amazing game and amazing OST! AMAZING rendition!!

[@JaredThe]

Hell yeah!!! So glad to hear covers of this awesome games fantastic ost! Nobody does it better than you Jonny :)!

[@CelestOrion]

Been following your stuff for years on Newgrounds, and CrossCode is one of my all-time favorite games. Seeing this hit my feed was the best thing I got to listen to all day.

[@mskirby6442]

To quote someone else (i've forgotten who) who has probably already commented this to some degree: A CrossCode metal remix could only be possible with Jonny. And well, that person couldn't be more right, keep rocking on Jonny!

[@CalvinWiersum]

Came here to celebrate the steam page for project terra coming up!!!

[@GameBoyHamazing]

HI?!?! I was NOT expecting this holy crap! I’ve been replaying CrossCode right now and I went “hmmm I feel like seeing what Gametal has been up to” and boom, it’s the battle theme that refuses to leave my brain after how long I’ve spent listening to it (especially after I went on an hour-long combat streak on Bergen Trail). This is a fantastic spin on it, and I love that this is how I find out this game might be slightly more well known than I thought it was. Anyways, thank you for doing a song from one of my favorite games of all time! I’d love to see one or more of the boss themes from this game if possible, because they’re all bangers

[@awkwardbirb5710]

Definitely a banger rendition of Crosscode's battle music and S-Rank Battle music. I really like how post-launch, they updated the game and added the S-Rank Battle music alongside visual and mechanical changes. It made S-rank go from just a thing you were doing sometimes and nothing special to "GET HYPED AND NEVER STOP!" while making enemies respawn much faster, thus making grinding a lot more exciting and less tedious. Sorry, Emilie.

[@SaviourV]

No mercy for you, Emille. Sometimes, in the thick of combat, you have to get over your fears.😆 And yes, that S-Rank music just invokes *Overdrive Mode* in my gameplay in a heartbeat. Almost as if I become faster, stronger, and more aggressive with my attacks when it comes on.

[@Math_64]

1.-Good metal version 2.-WHAT MANGROVES IS CROSSCODE!!!?

[@UnrealSuperSonic04]

an extremely underrated Action RPG go play it if you have the chance

[@MrZarupta]

Always glad to see CrossCode getting some much deserved love.

[@Kyronex0]

I was absolutely floored seeing this pop up, I never expected this game to get attention like this. It's so good!

[@MenwithHill]

[@RobinOfYlisse]

I played this game a few months ago after a friend recommended it and it instantly became one of my favorite games ever. Then I found out this game came out 5 years ago and I wondered why I'd never heard of it.

[@Darkmooncaverns19]

Nothing blows me away like the chord progressions in the crosscode soundtrack

[@silkdust8069]

Holy shit a crosscode cover? Fuck yea...i mean, lea hi lea!

[@lemonadogirl4082]

I could tell from the outset that this would be a banger clanging around in my head for weeks, and the rest did not disappoint. Unfortunately between the simplistic track title and the fact that I really don't know enough about CrossCode, I don't have a clever way to phrase my request for Faith Is For The Transient People this time. Maybe next remix...though I can't say I know that silhouette.

[@SaviourV]

Play CrossCode. Seriously. Then you'll know whether that game's good enough for you or not. 😊

[@omicronalpha8827]

Yoo CrossCode cover? One of my favorite action RPGs. Nice to see it get some love :)

Randomly 1 week ago my friend was telling me about how good the music is in this game !!! Gametal just showed me 😂 ❤

[@maxcar7298]

I have found this gem recently and oh boy, everything about it is GREAT

[@TheBigL1]

Funny story, I was actually thinking about CrossCode when I spotted this in my notifications. Really makes my day to see it get some well-deserved attention, especially with one of my favorite songs in the game - you can't tell me Deniz Akbulut wasn't at least a little inspired by Grandia 2 while writing 'Battle 2'.

[@merimkastrat5846]

FINALLY! I WAITED AND WANTED CROSSCODE IN FOR YEARS AND BEEN CONSISTENTLY RECOMMENDING IT! Thank you SO much! OHHHH I wish theres One Last Trial OST though but I’ll take it! Recommend to those that doesnt know the game, challenging but has good plot. Edit: Already been replaying the S Rank part alot, for some reason I’ve been jamming ALOT into it, beautifully made Jonny, beautifully made.

[@Drcats69]

More people need to play this game. It is legitimately one of my favorites in a long long time and it technically came out like almost 8 years ago at this point if you include Early Access
