Lance/Champion Red Battle Theme Extended (Piano)

[@FrogmaskMusic]

Lil' shout out to Taishi Senda and Minako Hamano, who composed (and predominantly arranged) tracks for Puzzle Challenge! Was a really big surprise to hear their arrange in this great piece

[@ErikCPianoman]

True that. I'll have to update the description.

[@ErikCPianoman]

Apologizes for the delay with this vid. Lance/Red are just too strong for me 😓

[@FierySpiritMaury]

You did amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing this masterpiece with us! 💛💫

[@seansalzman707]

UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Excelente interpretación, tendrás pensado hacer interpretaciones del juego clasico Castlevania symphony of the night?

Me listening to this with enthusiasm. My girlfriend from the other room: "WHY DO I HEAR BOSS MUSIC?"

Awesome arrangement! Love the polyphony

Glad you like it!

"Love the polyphony" ☝🤓stfu loser just say chords like the rest of

[@RyanZPianoGuy]

Versus 4 months apart!! Haha good to have you back! Whose arrangement reigns supreme? Let us know in the comments!

[@ErikCPianoman]

Has it really been that long? Whoops. The next one will be better!

[@ansemvanverte]

Honestly don't think there is a "better", this one's more faithful, yours is more creative, I love both tbh. All I ask is you both do the OG champion theme next. It goes so hard but with that dead panic "... oh shit" minimalist feel but I can't find a piano cover that does it justice.

[@Stratelier]

I like how this theme opens with the same rhythm as the Main Theme. Nothing like a good leitmotif (or reprise) to tell you it's endgame.

[@nitro7479]

Out of all versions ,this still masterpiece🤯

[@ojasatmajeetrox1107]

This theme is simply the most superior theme of all Pokemon. Incomparable. Gamefreak had assumed Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal to be the last of the pokemon games.

[@epicgamer-ur1wg]

I agree that the battle songs are way better, but there’s a lot of genius and beautiful songs in gen 3, like the ending theme

[@mikerolfe1842]

Gen 1, 2, 3, and 5 ending theme are amazing

[@notdeadever]

They never said that Gen 2 would be the last

[@ojasatmajeetrox1107]

@@notdeadever Like I said, it was originally intended to have only two generations.

[@notdeadever]

@ojasatmajeetrox1107 "I worked with the assumption that after we put out Gold and Silver, my work as far as Pokémon was concerned would be done, I didn't intend to make any more Pokémon titles. I even thought that once we entered the twenty-first century, it would be time for me to do something else entirely." This was a quote from Satoshi Tajiri that most people point to. However, it is more likely he was just talking about moving on from pokemon, which is way Junichi Masuda took over for gen 3. Gamefreak had no reason to abandon pokemon, which was their biggest money maker.

[@twentyDucks]

This just made my day and it hasn't started yet

[@maxence145]

Can’t wait to listen your new rearrangement

[@thetitsarefree]

YESSS I commented on your Cynthia video 2 years ago asking for this. Thank you for delivering

[@kevinboyer6617]

BRAVO I love the fact that Pokémon fans didn't lose ourselves while growing up

[@breezylynfayne2993]

Ah yeah! Perfect for taking out not one, not two, but THREE dragonites!

[@danielwoods7325]

Amazing work as always! Very evenly matched battle, I'd say - Ryan Z did great too. I particularly loved those RH runs at 2:11, also the way you finished your ending theme variation, and I really liked how varied the arrangement was too (like how sometimes both hands were in the middle so it sounds like the OG GameBoy, and sometimes you opened it up to include the lower and higher keys. If that makes any sense). Great job!

[@ErikCPianoman]

Those runs are probably the trickiest part of the piece for me. I too think Ryan and I were pretty evenly matched in this round. Very different approaches so it's hard to directly compare. Always appreciate the detailed feedback. Thanks for commenting!

[@pewffle]

this is amazing, i absolutely love your arrangements !

[@diegothomas7541]

Enormous hype

[@reallibertarian7081]

Man had me tearing up- reminded me of the first time I played blue and red- the first day I played 8 hours straight- so epic - my brothers had the other games and we battled

[@adrianbitsinnie1537]

This goes hard!! did not expect that haha

[@YanSay]

Let’s gooo 🔥❤️

[@jfrank4802]

Sir this is amazing and an inventive way to redo this song. I love this

[@Xerobound]

Phenomenal performance!!!

[@LouX453]

I was just watching your Volo video, and now this masterpiece, incredible

[@matthewspencer2837]

absolute GOAT of battle themes across all versions.

[@sens4950]

The pokemon puzzle variation sounds like you are fighting an evil red

[@stephennicewarner216]

You absolute mad lad. All other attempts to make this song epic apart from the original fall flat. But you did it. How did you channel such nuance and variation? Yet capture the simple peril of the original?!

[@ajoconnor64]

god, the puzzle challenge arrangement sounds sinister. i love it.

[@Duhemsounds]

This is very epic, well done Erik

[@senbonzakurakageyoshi662]

Fantastic !!! Thanks for this amazing job !

[@joelgrebinsilvestri]

amazing good job and thanks for sharing

[@marimar91]

Wow one of the best boss songs of the franchise bravo!!!!!

[@joeyfronto]

The theme music for battling red was just too hard had no right to be this hard

[@ign_ite]

I LOVE IT!

[@Repulten]

I love it. Hey btw what is your reach? Can you hit 9th’s comfortably or maybe 10? Just curious thanks

[@ErikCPianoman]

9ths are about my limit. 10ths I can reach but it's a stretch/limited.

[@BKazunori]

Good stuff

[@craftmarne]

very nice

[@NostalJackMusic]

So epic

[@22Hamza222]

Really Amazing can you do Dragon Quest XI please

[@ricardobeltran7417]

Brooo, quedo god

[@stussikun]

Not sure if you’re a fan of Breaking Bad Mr. Piano Man but would love to hear you try to do a rendition of sorts of the song Apparat - Goodbye or maybe even a Breaking Bad compilation kinda like you did with Avatar and Zelda and Mario and such. Much love!!

[@hofmusikus91]

did you play it by ear or did you have a score beforehand? i would like to know if pokemon company published official scores of these songs

[@funicon3689]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@AgentSapphire]

I would still really like the sheets for this.

[@tryastro9305]

can you do a cover of starbit festival from super mario galaxy? that would be cool

[@DOLLAMAC190]

Young me* After my 4th or 5th time, I've finally beat this guy. Thank God, because I've used all my revives and potions. Game Freak* Should we tell him, Lance isn't the actual champion? Nahh he'll find out in a few seconds. A few seconds later* Me: Shocked Pikachu face 😲
