[@CreepyboomGamer]

Your history is a bit wrong. You confused GiLvaSunner and GiIvaSunner. GiLva actually uploaded video game music, and was inspired by the original SiLvaGunner channel. GiLva inspired a couple of SoundCloud shitposters to create the channel GiivaSunner, who actually uploaded edited video game music, and those guys would go on to make the channel SiivaGunner. GiLva was terminated around 2 years ago due to copyright infringement.

[@CantusTropus]

In fairness, all that lore is pretty convoluted, what with the deliberately similar names and everything.

[@imstupid880]

The real historian right here

[@la_kja]

🤯.

[@la_kja]

What happened to the original SiLvaGunner, GiLvaSunner and GiIvaSunner? The only one I'm 100% sure happened to is SiIvagunner ( @SiIvaGunner ).

[@CreepyboomGamer]

@@la_kja all three channels were terminated at some point, SiLva was terminated shortly before GiLva was created for copyright infringement. Giiva was terminated in early 2016 iirc for impersonation. GiLva was deleted after several waves of copystrikes took out several thousand videos around 2022-2022, not exactly sure when.

I hope there is a KFAD3 someday. I can see Mariya getting a "parting gift" as DJPK becomes the new host. That being access to the Yakuza/Like A Dragon soundtracks, as Kiryu & Majima become her backup dancers.

[@MarioGMan25]

God it's wild that everyone in the Top 4 had absolutely unbroken winning streaks, not counting the first round.

[@sportsfan8404]

I was an active participant in KFAD and currently a member of the larger tourney scene. It feels like over the past few years I really felt that the scene was overall so detached from KFAD even though it was the genesis of the community I’d say, it felt impossible to look at it not through a modern lens. This really did remind me how special it was though, excellent production, I’ve been waiting for something of this quality on this topic. Amazing job, leaving a like, sub and comment to help further this content to more people. Huge props.

[@DuoStuff]

As a Law & Disorder fan, this tournament was both amazing and heartbreaking. I went in kinda expecting all of my mains to lose. Mariya, Missingno, and Law and Disorder were just such cool concepts to me, but I realized that each was going to have niche appeal. And when Mariya and Missingno immediately fell in the first round, I figured I was right. But somehow, despite how out-there the mystery pair were, they managed to win the first round, and by a lot. And there was this hope that I had: I hoped Law and Disorder would be the most popular in the tournament. And I genuinely do believe I got my wish... On a monkey's paw. They were (judging by the votes) easily the most red-hot challenger. DJ Professor K was definitely a big contender, but even his win ratios were nothing compared to how much Law and Disorder would *eviscerate* everyone in their way. The thing with popularity... Is that you get a big target on your back. With each victory, Law and Disorder would attain more enemies, and suddenly they became the villain to be beat. People began to vote *against* them instead of *for* their opponent, with constant unfounded rumors about rigged voting appearing left and right. There were even false rumors that *if* Law and Disorder won, they would cut their day short, and that even the Siivagunner people hated working on their rips. Their popularity had turned into something else. They had become the defacto heel of the tournament, with the Mojo even further playing up this dynamic. I knew the result of the K Vs. L&D round without seeing it. It was inevitable. At the end of the day, I had chosen 3 of the 4 contestants that would be the top picks, and yet still didn't have a single one win. The tournament was truly phenomenal. I got to hear so much great music, and spend a couple weeks just enjoying the highs and lows of the tournament. But I can't deny that the final round felt somewhat bitter. Even if one of my mains was in the final round, but I knew she was going to lose. And I remember reading the final Mojo post, a kinda last stomping down of 1/2 of my main duo as everyone celebrated. It was bitter, and rough. But I felt like it was eerily fitting considering my main. Ace Attorney games often end on a bitter case. And as far as Monokuma goes... Well his whole goal from the beginning of the series was to give people despair... So what better fit would there be from a Law and Disorder main.

[@shaniks-s]

Beautifully put about people voting against them as opposed to voting for their opponent.

[@CantusTropus]

They were robbed. Literally the only contestant in the whole tourney who never got a second chance.

[@bane2201]

Yeah, it's bitter for me too. And the L&D sourcelist were absolutely ignored. Off the top of my head, they didn't use Zero Escape, AITSF, Umineko, or Zero Escape (again). And there are so many sources for duel rips that went ignored too: The entire Professor Layton series is such good material for Papyrus it's obvious. Some edutainment games could work with Jack & Elmo (Carmen Sandiago). The Glitz Pit segment of TTYD could lead to a cool rip with Geno. Haven't played much Persona yet, but I think it qualifies as a mystery _related_ series. Solid Snake is easy, choose any MGS game. Johnny Bravo - Scooby-Doo rip, where are you? Shinji Hosoe (Zero Escape composer) worked on rhythm games, so that'd be perfect for a Rhythm Masters crossover. And it's true that the _music_ team didn't work on their rips much - the art team chose the character, and it shows. The Mojo making Monokuma out to be the villain of the tournament didn't make people Vote Responsibly(tm).

[@DuoStuff]

@@bane2201 I agree fully. It was a tad bit frustrating that we *only* got mainly Ace Attorney and Danganronpa rips. I expected there to be a few obviously, and some of them were bangers to be fair, but outside of a couple oddballs and a Mystery Skulls rip (oh and Who Let the Dogs Out which was really funny), it was exclusively AA or Danganronpa music. I personally would've definitely loved a lot of the stuff you mentioned, Professor Layton especially. (I don't have as much experience with Umineko, but some Higurashi rips would've been pretty rad.) On the whole "Voting Responsibly" thing, it was pretty obvious that wasn't going to happen from the start, as a lot of the better sourcelists kinda struggled out the gate. Mariya was the perfect example, but I recall Missingno almost getting booted right away because he was "kinda boring" to a lot of people. (It was lucky he got put against Hobart, the joke entry, because it meant people had time to realize the mistake.) And there are a lot of contestants who were a lot less lucky, or ones (like Mr. Krabs) who lasted *way* longer than you'd expect purely based on meme-status, popularity, or just one really good arrangement. But Law and Disorder wasn't an issue of popularity, they just became the villains because of Monokuma's portrayal on the Mojo and because they were really popular. And even then, L&D barely got anything on the Mojo at all. I recall being baffled by how almost every other character had more posts than L&D, and the ones they did have failed to play off of the inherently whacky chemistry the two should've had. It felt like the Siivagunner team kinda wanted them to lose. Don't get me wrong, DJ Prof K's takeover was cool, but I think L&D would've made for a *much* better one, and one that would've given us rips of a lot of the more underrepresented games on the channel.

[@bane2201]

@@DuoStuff Yeah, I agree that voting responsibly wasn't really going to happen. Personally, one thing that bugged me is that (IIRC) Monokuma appeared a couple times to antagonize contestants, whereas Phoenix very rarely showed up. I agree that the SiIvaGunner team didn't want them to win (at the very least, the music team didn't, and the Mojo team didn't help). Honestly, that list was just some examples off the top of my head. The sourcelists for Rhythm Masters and Johnny Bravo even mention Shinji Hosoe and Scooby-Doo respectively - those weren't the most subtle. I could come up with duel rip ideas for half of the roster (*), and that doesn't even mention all of the L&D solo rip ideas I could come up with easily. I forgot to mention Steins;Gate or The House in Fata Morgana. It was insulting enough that I have a slightly sour view of the tournament now. I'd be fine if they were given a fair shake - losing is normal. But they were ignored by the music team and portrayed as the antagonists. Really puts a bitter taste in my mouth. The music is still good, though. (*) - Actually, I did, but a couple are a bit of a reach. Also, many of these could be solo rips by extension. Adam Levine - Makes Me Wonder Donkey Kong - The Monkey Island series, or Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Rareware) Eminem - The Real Slim Shady Geno - Glitz Pit from TTYD Jack & Elmo - Carmen Sandiago, Math Blaster Mystery, probably other edutainment games Jack Bros - [many Persona or Atlus games] Johnny Bravo - Scooby-Doo Missingno - a bunch of gaming creepypastas would work here, e.g. Petscop Nintendo Power - Forest of Mystery from LoZ Papyrus - the Layton series, Myst, What Reminds of Edith Finch, Return of the Obra Dinn, Hotel Dusk Quote - Braid (2008 platformer) Rhythm Masters - Zero Escape (due to Shinji Hosoe) Solid Snake - [many MGS or Silent Hill games] Thanos - Marvel vs. Capcom (Phoenix Wright appears in it) Weird Al - I'll Sue 'Ya, or Why Does This Always Happen to Me? ZUN - U.N. Owen Was Her?

[@dienamo1251]

Unfortunately, with how frequently SiIvagunner posts, me being late by a few days already had me confused on where to start and where to look to even follow the tournament. But even after the tournament ended, I still came back to listen to every single track and find out which of those tracks were my favorite, create my own playlist, and rank the characters based on their music. I remember reading the lore on the website with my sister because we found it funny and very interesting to see so many characters interact in ways that fans of said characters would understand. There was so much effort put into this project and I’m glad someone would acknowledge KFAD as something worthy of a retrospective.

[@jenger9596]

oh you dont know how long ive waited for someone to make this kind of video. kfad is still to this day one of my favourite things ive ever had the privilege of experiencing on the internet, seeing track after track of amazing content release and seeing the story unveil in real time is a feeling i will cherish for a long, long time. i mean i didnt even bother making this account until voting started and i wanted so badly to participate lol this tournament has seriously changed my life, i still regularly go back to many of its tracks and reread through the lore just to appreciate it all again. i don't think there'll ever be anything just like it on the internet again, but that's alright given how much it already gave us now as part of the smaller tournament community born from kfad, still going to this day, i've made a lot of friends and memories that mean the world to me, and its all because siivagunner decided to make a voting poll. its kind of stupid to say out loud, but thats how i like it. this video served as a really nice retrospective on just one facet of this project, mariya's surprise success story is still a wonder to me, even if she was never my pick to win. i can't complain at how things went, she deserved every bit of success she got, and this video is a great reminder as to why. (plus the other F4 members were favourites of mine but thats not the point-). you have my thanks for putting this all together, it brightened my day to see also hey!! thanks for using one of my playlists at 4:11! it probably shouldnt hit me as hard as it does but i didnt think theyd really mean that much so it was kind of a jumpscare seeing my name come up lol

[@shaniks-s]

What a coincidence about the playlist! lol. Happy you enjoyed, it has been a great experience learning from you guys just how much this means to so many people.

you can make a 30 minute video on any character in this tourney, it's wild the writing, lore, art, and of course the rips are way too good to be in a tournament featuring Thanos with power stone nipples wouldn't have it any other way

Prob not Eminem, he just dropped My Salsa and then dipped

[@MarioGMan25]

Ah you didn't even bring up the fact the final battle had DJPK & Mariya dump all of their collab tracks all at once after everyone was begging for them to exist for so long.

[@PriestOfTheHelix]

I was always in support of Missingno tbh. There were so many fun sources he had and it was fun to have this weird enigma as the mascot for a possible genre. That being said, there were no bad options in the final 4, and it was so fun seeing how things played out.

[@blockeontheleafeon]

The best part? It spawned a whole sub-genre over on SoundCloud which in turn encouraged me to make mashups. SiivaGunner is awesome and this is one of the reasons why.

[@friendthebarrel154]

KFAD2 is what got me into making music and now I'm majoring in it in college Nothing quite like it is ever gonna happen again, magical event

[@dfx5886]

insanely good video. i still think of KFAD2 often- i wasn't there for it until it ended (i was a headass who didn't get it) but by the time DJPK's prize came around, i was fully invested and found characters and tracks i adored. the community that spawned from this bracket format has changed my life for the better and i can hardly envision a time where i wasn't a massive fan of this project. personally i'm a huge fan of DJ Professor K and Mariya, but i've always felt Geno was severely underappreciated. Yoko Shimomura in the SiIva team's hands is such an insane prospect, and knowing he 0-3'd between all tournaments really stunk. maybe people just weren't ready for him, but i was *always* a Geno truther, even before i followed KFAD2. i can't be too mad, though- grands was my 1st VS my 3rd and my 1st came out on top, so... i ate good. :) (if you're curious, Daft Punk ft. Pharrell were my 2nd. i would've fucked hard with a city pop VS french touch collab.) my personal favorite aspect of how KFAD2 was constructed was that the source lists weren't, like, strict. a lot of people took it in a different direction, but it explains Mariya got a country/blues styled arrangement, or why Daft Punk pulled a Deltarune song remixed in a french touch style. i *love* how transformative the project was, and as much as i love the fan community that spawned from it, i feel like no one really understood that for a long time. i liked how out-there and bizarre some of the rips could be, because the lists were guidelines and suggestions, not inherently strict. it's why the takeover we got worked so well. things were allowed to be free and loose, and i really like that. overall, KFAD2 was never gonna be a huge event (nearly 10,000 people per match is nothing to scoff at, though), but it's ripple can still be felt to this day. a lot of people hold it in high regard and use it as inspiration for their writing, music, and art. i don't wanna say it's underrated, because it's certainly not, but it really did feel like *the* event to follow when it dropped. and for that, i think it's special. wonderful video!

[@kektendo9587]

geno forever the underappreciated GOAT

[@temmssmdisnas]

Rhythm masters and Nico nico main here, thank you for bringing attention to this tournament! KFAD was a love letter to music, from so many genres, media and memes and it deserves to be more popular. There were so many arcs and inside jokes, its kind of impossible to fully experience it unless you were participating in the community at the time. I do wish you had touched a little more on the other finalists and even other entrants. Law and Disorder, especially, was a controversial contestant as alot of viewers thought their source list was too good. This, along with Monokuma being mean to everyone in the side stories led to L&D being labelled as the villain of the tournament. This made narrative sense, but that also meant L&D was destined to fail against DJPK in the votes. I loved both of them, and it was very difficult for me to vote. At least it led to the brilliant Discussion -Tournament Mix-, which is my personal favorite arrangement in the entire album. Fun fact: Mariya Takeuchi and Rhythm Masters both have the distinction of being sent to losers bracket by one Jack, and then eliminating the other's Jack.

[@kidwhomhasahat]

As a fan of a lot of tournaments that spawned from what KFAD started, this was a phenomenal dive into Mariya's story and King For Another Day as a whole! I hope this video opens the door to more content talking about music tournaments, there's a lot more than just SiIvagunner out there. Many tournaments inspired by KFAD are even ongoing right now, and are some of my favorite pieces of media the internet has to offer! (DOATK and PENTA CLVSH for the win!) Point is, you've done some great work creating this video, and I hope it encourages more stuff like it in the long run :D

[@diskoBonez]

The presentation and narrative were tearjerking! The interactions from mojo website were a whole part of the KFAD lore I didn't even know existed. Seeing those interactions animated and voiceacted really brought life to the storyline. Seriously such an incredible recap!

[@kektendo9587]

i had a feeling I'd see this video eventually. great stuff! kfad's been a pretty big part of my online life (esp stuff that came post-tournament), and I'm glad to see ppl talking about it

[@Dutchdennis7]

I really loved how Off the Hook (feat. Paruko) went from #2 in te first tournament to being basically the best supporting cast for Mariya in the second tournament!

[@OliyTC]

KFAD is weirdly one of my last pre-pandemic memorable events, since it happened during my senior year of high school and I had a whole friend group who was actively watching and participating in the voting. Crazy to think about how in an event with only 10k voters on average I managed to find my way into a group of five for a concept that seems super fringe Really hope it can come back now that I've grown to know a few of the people who worked on it

[@JordySword]

It was an amazing experience to be a part of this project!!! I'd love to help out with more voices if you need em!! This is so cool!!!

[@TheMichael7050]

Love listening to retrospectives on KFAD. Imagine my shock when I happened to glance at the screen just to see one of my comments highlighted in the video - and of course it's for the GOAT, DJ Professor K! Truly one of the best events ever held on the internet, glad more people are taking a look back at it!

[@AlonsoDalton]

Thank you for making this video. It was such a wonderful trip down memory lane. At a few points, I got chills. Having been someone who was there when both tournaments were under way and having voted in every single match-up, both tournaments are something that mean a lot to me and that I hold very near and dear to me. I might not have read any of the dojo interviews, being quite busy at the time and only having time to listen to the rips, but it was still an unforgettable experience that I doubt will ever happen again (at the time, the staff for the tournament did state that a KFAD3 would be unlikely to ever happen given how much time and planning went into the tournament. And it really shows when you see things like the video that shows what ALL the match-up quotes would have been for EVERY possible match up). Rooting for your favourites, discussing with others who you thought would advance (not afraid to say that I originally thought Mariya would be pushed out in Losers' round 1 because Off the Hook had been such a power house in the original tournament) and the tension every time a new results video came out, a truly memorable experience. Out of the 4 finalists, I'd been rooting for Law & Disorder and DJ Prof K throughout the tournament. To say that them coming head to head in the winners' finals was a tough decision would be an understatement. But I'm ultimately quite happy DJ Prof K won in the end. The only gripe I'll ever have about the tournament is what happened to poor HOBaRT. Poor fella didn't deserve to come in dead last, by as large of a margin as it did. Not only was it dismissed by the community, but even the event staff themselves. Its source list honestly had so much potential and I was dismayed when it lost in Losers' round 1. For anyone looking for a taste of what HOBaRT had to offer, look up "Since I'm Australian". It came out towards the end of the tournament, well after it had been eliminated, and showcased a lot of what it had to offer. But overall, I'd still give the tournament a 10/10. Especially the secret final boss and the Etika rip that came out after DJ Prof K has claimed the title of King for a day. It was a magical experience from start to end and it truly was a great Christmas present (the tournament reached its conclusion on Christmas Eve). A few other rips from the tournament I'd recommend to anyone checking it out are: -The aforementioned Etika rip of Lifelight -POLKA FOR ANOTHER DAY, an accordion version of every charcter's main themes -Mas Gasolina, what was an incredibly strong opener for Pitbull and the Aliens, characters who hadn't fared quite so well in the first tournament. -Teknopathetic for DJ Prof K, a rip that was performed and recorded LIVE in an actual studio with professional musicians playing actual instruments. -Back in Time, a staple from Sonic R, performed this time by Hatsune Miku. -AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE A FLAT BEAT, Daft Punk ft. Pharell meets DJ Prof K. -the end [150][e2+valhalla mix] literally my favourite Missingno. rip I wouldn't liked to list more of my favourites or at least one rip from each contestant, but this comment is already long enough as it is, so I'll leave it there.

[@snailgamer6534]

I am so glad there's a video for this. KFAD is very dear to my heart. A couple arrangements made me burst into tears. I don't do that often. Fall Breaks and Big Beat Radio are both absolute masterpieces.

[@TheGamer-be5lh]

This is a great look at one of my favorite events on the internet. However, I believe the siivagunner origin story you describe is inaccurate. Iirc Gilvasunner and siivagunner were created around the same time. Gilvasunner was the original Silvagunner rebranded and behaved exactly the same, while siivagunner was a parody channel capitalizing on the originals takedown. Both channels existed at the same time until Gilvasunner was taken down in 2018

[@jumpupsupbarhorn]

Hi, first time seeing your channel, great video! Long comment incoming. I was honestly not expecting this video to focus on the lore side of the tourney. Some present fans might tell you it was too cheesy and bad, but I think those who were there can say it really enhanced the experience and helped many people feel invested. I was a Mariya voter as well, and I remember feeling really emotional the day of the grand finals, reading the conversation with Professor K and tearing up a little (and also really excited on the losers finals results reveal, watching it with my friends!) This sure was a trip down memory lane. Underdog stories are always satisfying to see, and this tourney sure delivered on that. I find music tourneys a topic hard to explain to someone not familiar with it, but your introduction segment does the job well. I enjoy the flow of the video and I feel it never gets complicated, so good job with that! Also, loved the comments captions and the dialogue dub/editing, they were really unique elements. It's been around 4 years since the tourney and I still come back to KFAD's repertory very often. I have met beautiful people and learnt about many tracks thanks to it. I can't measure how much happiness this tourney gave me and I thank every person who was involved; and it's still crazy to me how enormous it is (500 tracks is nothing to be shy about!). Overall, I'm glad there's users to share a video and talk about it! I'm a thankful man, and I say thank you.

[@jarednobrony2000]

i owe a lot to siivagunner and kfad - kfad was the event that singlehandedly changed the course of my life, as it inspired me to start composing music. and now, i've found myself involved in a lot of fan-made tournaments and have made a lot of friends within those circles. thanks for making a video about kfad, i don't see many of these and i think you were able to aptly convey the experience of watching the tournament unfold. fuck the jazz cats tho

[@KhepriProd]

Law & Disorder got robbed. ok but serious talk KFAD was SO much fun i remember just going to the channel every day and listening to all the new arrangements. For Law&Disorder in specific, even now I go back to arrangements I like, as well as arrangements I slept on because I didn't know the source material. At the time of KFAD, I didn't know what Your Turn To Die was, but now I commonly go back to the Samurai Woman arrangement. If anyone were to beat L&D Prof. K absolutely deserved it. But most of all, the best part of the event was the journey, not the destination.

[@MarioGMan25]

This whole tournament actually introduced me to Danganronpa as a whole and I basically marathoned them all in one go once the tournament was over. Wild stuff.

I found Siivagunner by accident back during the "Death of Mario" event in 2021 when trying to look for Mario music.

When you say Mariya Takeuchi was a threat to the entire tournament, I got flash backed to when the tournament was brand new and yea this tournament was insanely good.

I hope one day we can get another tournament similar to this.

Everytime i get the chance i will always say this but, off the hook going from second place in the first tournament to 0-2 in the second one was the biggest crime ever. Will never get over it

It could be worse. Geno lost in Round 1 of KFAD1. In KFAD2, he was buffed to include all Yoko Shimomura music (which is a huge buff), and he _still_ lost 0-2.

[@lancestryker]

SPOILER: Personally, I think that without Professor K winning KFAD 2, I would've never heard Jet Set Radio's funky rhythms and Hideki's compositions, let alone withness the creation of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. Fall Breaks was the best duel mix I've had the pleasure of listening to. It was truly one of the best internet events to occur.

[@ShinyGaara65]

I would love these epic stories for all sorts of contestants. I followed Weird Al for most of the tournament as an outsider. He was using only half his power and got all the way up to Professor K, and made that EPIC polka of everyone's styles in the tournament. But that's just one story out of dozens.

[@CantusTropus]

Awesome to see KFAD getting recognition! :) It's also great to see the "underground" music tourney scene blossom into something beautiful beneath the notice of most. I'm convinced that someday, someone will take the basic concept of KFAD and make something that becomes mind-bogglingly popular, introducing millions to the joy that is music tournies. Maybe it'll be one of the people involved in the smaller tournies?

KFAD was amazing. Some of the songs remain in my playlist years later. The SiIva team went ALL OUT. Mecha Ajit Pai was robbed btw. Legit some of the most fire sources available.

DJ Professor K got me into playing Jet Set Radio and listening a lot of remixes related to Hideki Naganuma's tracks, and I still listen to KFAD2 tracks regularly, it's one of the few albums I have downloaded on my phone. It's safe to say it changed my life permanently, even if slightly. Also, Jack Bros. got robbed of Etrian Odyssey.

wow what a cool tournament that i've definitely never heard of before now

[@harubutjojo]

To think the funny Grand Dad channel could run 2 of the most incredible tournaments I've seen on this platform. I miss them ngl. The rips, the mojo, the takeovers, the attention to detail. Genuinely can't believe it had such an impact.

[@esseubot]

Now while I was rooting for Pitbull and the Aliens for their completelly bonkers and frenetic music, nothing blew my mind more than The Crown pulling out LISA The Painful's Goodbye Baby as one of their final attacks. It made me instantly switch sides.

[@vtubermissingno]

I found king for a day positively inspiring. If not for them i wouldn't have my channel. And for that i am extremely grateful

[@SnaksiXD]

Dr. Robotnik's coming out of the closet experience was very interesting to witness, and having Snake knocked out cold by the end was amazing. And can't forget Plastic Forces (For Pop City). For just a moment, a legend returned.

[@xandertreelimb]

The storytelling in this video was amazing! I watched the entire tournament while it was happening, but I was still pumping my fist when Mariya came out on top. I remember back when the tournament was introduced, I had no idea who Mariya or what city pop was, but now that it's over, city pop is probably my favorite music genre because of her inclusion. So even if she didn't win she sure made an impression.

[@Trime8istus]

I personally don't remember the first rip I listen in Siivagunner but what I know is that, this channel made me break free and find myself musically speaking. I still don't know what the name of the style of music DJ professor K makes but I truly feel in love with that. And discovered many other styles that I loved, Fight club Chinatown is my favorite rip of Mariya since I can clearly vision an old japanese arcade fighting game with an vaporware aesthetic listening to that

[@orangeflavoredtoothpaste7420]

I mentioned this in the comments on another KFAD2 video but this event was so important for me. It came out during such a pivotal time in my life and left such an impact. Very glad to see people still talking aboit KFAD2

[@DynamicLemons]

I didn't listen to either KFAD 1 or 2 when they came out, but I first came across it in 2020, and honestly, it's really nice to hear a video about it... 7 months late, but still a good video regardless!

[@shaniks-s]

Making me feel unproductive out here with that "7 months ago" XD

[@techy804]

I didn't even know about the lore and interactions until this video, I first heard and listened to KFAD when trying to search Hediki Naganuma-style songs and remixes about a year after the whole thing ended and the DJ already had his day. Though I like relistening to the playlist once in a while and the most rips that I've heard are bangers. If I had been there when the whole thing was going on, my mains would've been DJ Professor K as previously mentioned, but also Law and Disorder (although I haven't heard or played any of their sources for the rips they did until about a couple years ago, except for the "Who let the Dogs Out" rip, the music was the best part of both of the featured franchises IMO), and Nintendo Power. I would've also mained Papyrus but I feel like he got screwed by only having songs featuring himself for stuff by Toby Fox instead of having anything by Toby Fox as a source (what he got is like having Despicable Me not as a source for Pharrell Williams ft Daft Punk, big loss). My favorite rip is Discussion - MIX - because it's a genre mash between 6 characters, with the later ones being ones that survived more rounds, and they even changed what song it was ripping halfway through (Discussion - Break - for the first half, Discussion - Hope vs Despair - for the second half). EDIT: Accidently found out how to do a crossthrough in YT comments.

[@ItzSpxrk]

I know King For Another Day! I saw the Mr. Krabs VS. Dr. Robotnik episode! It was awesome!

[@Wapako]

Title is WRONG ! The algo recommended me this cuz I watch a bit TOO MUCH SiIvaGunner lmao Btw if you guys like tournament like this, go watch Mashup Week Megamix, its a banger channel with a banger tournament that has not ended yet !

[@honord.1811]

Why hasn't SiIva liked this yet?

[@OrbitalPulsar]

PLEASE DO ALL FOUR SEMIFINALISTS

[@WyattW_]

SiIvaGunner liked this!

[@MMFan2004]

Such a shame i never noticing or cared much about this Siivagunner King for Another Day tournament until much recently because its pretty sick (Which is a good thing). Despite i have to listen to one of its rips, like Mr Krabs Rave and FIGHTCLUB CHINATOWN, i didn't notice the significant of the KFAD2 when it was came out. I guess 15 year old me were clueless or too busy with other stuff at that time.

[@omarjimenez6861]

KFAD2 was so good that part of me just wanted it to go on forever, specially because right after the tournament ended it felt like every ip and irl artist released stuff that would've been wonderful to see represented in the tournament. Even more so now I'm wondering how things would've played out had Hobart had Pizza Tower in his sources, or Snake getting a boost from the modern metal gear memes. But alas it had to come to an end, and the siivagunner team knew people had grown attached to the event. The final story beat before the final match, looking back on it now, it most definitely was just there to reel in people back to reality. That the event had to end, and the channel would return to its silly and random nature. And with everything said and done, the fact that it had a proper ending is what made the event so enjoyable. Still, as a Mariya and MissingNo fan, I really wish their songs were a bit more varied. Plastic Love and Lavender Town can bd arranged only so many times before it feels repetitive

[@samicable6801]

I was there when this was going on. The amount of attention to detail and heart behind the music is something that doesn't pop up every day.

[@tripled2096]

I was there for the entirety of both tournaments, and it was genuinely such a fun time. I recommend giving the tracks a listen, theyre all so good

[@pewdiepiesubbot8672]

I didnt even start the video and I already agree

[@ternarycode]

god kfad was so amazing. back in high school when this happened, my friend who knew about Siiva and I were really hoping for Mariya to win, but hey, DJPK's takeover was still pretty fire.

[@asmariamoon]

I found out about the KFAD II tournament too late to participate, but I remember watching the DJ Professor K takeover stream, which was a livestream of K hosting a selection of his favorite rips, including an "OST" for Jet Set Radio Evolution, which was a planned JSR game that sadly never got made. Near the end of the stream, K delivers a moving speech about Mariya and the friendship they had developed during the time of the tournament, followed by a string of Mariya rips the audience had been waiting all stream for.

[@boatghost2543]

Damn, I can definitely say the latter half of the votes were gut wrenching because I had to choose between favorites. I'm just glad most of my favorites got to the end anyways.

[@skrub_king]

Did Missingno ever get its prize

[@jaykay8464]

There was gonna be a fangame iirc, but it got cancelled. The assets got dumped, so I think there's a google drive folder link somewhere if you look hard enough.

[@wearecoterminous]

perfect video, we need kfad 3

[@hydrocityharry977]

I did watch the tournoment as it went evey now and then while it was going on, but I never knew how deep it went, I just thought all the remixes were cooll as hek

[@lazyspade1559]

I missed it I hope not to miss another event like this

[@icyso]

Holy smokes, how am i 6 months late to this? Yeah. Kfad2 was an absolutely incredible tournament, and absolutely one of my favorite things on the internet. EVER. It was great, and so is this video! Good summary of this, i’ll say. And it even went onto inspire a whole scene, mashup tournaments! Such as mashup week, remix rumble, prizm, strange alternative leader tournament or another unnecessary tournament! Though, that’s just a few. That aside, this video’s great and kfad’s great, I highly recommend checking out kfad and mashup tournaments if you havent, whoever’s reading this, because this video only touches up on a very brief part, we’d be here for YEARS if we touched on everything.

[@Yellow_Hastur]

Hail to the former Fish King

[@JMDurden]

KFAD was (and may always be) the best thing the channel has ever done.

[@Gavin_avi]

Seeing a documentary like this on KFAD was something I did not expect to see today, and damnit you did it justice. Personally I was too late to finding out about it, I had heard on the channel itself to check it out back in around 2020 and I was floored. I had no idea about the lore though and just listened to characters I knew, not giving a second thought to anyone such as ZUN (whom I’ve become VERY familiar with) and Professor K, I’m so grateful and amazed that you could condense a character’s story like that and create the sort of feeling that one might have felt back when the tournament was ongoing, that’s a subscribe for sure. King for another another day when❗️

[@yuriswasd7238]

I went looking in the wiki and found out about some "guest" like lemon demon,the meme trio Who are they?

[@HexenDarkside]

I was generally following the rips and voting when this was being released and while I though DJ Professor K's tracks where good, I didn't really understand why he won when he lost so early the previous time. Similarly, I was following the first tournament in the same way and was unaware of the Etika Vs. K lore, so now it makes sense... he probably got the underdog edge because of that since it was a more tight-knit niche community then. Ironically, I think it was probably a somewhat similar situation to when he lost to Etika this time propelling him to the win.

[@ivanzoneBR24]

Wow, I felt nothing like you did about KFAD2 lol.

[@ahmaykmewsik8488]

Lovely recap & reenactments, ty

[@shaniks-s]

That's so cool! I wanted to do your scripts justice for sure.

[@Touremsol9925]

Halfway through the video, but I don't remember if I participated in this or not but if I did I believe I remember voting against Maria Takauchi every time. My mindset at the time would've been that she just wasn't alive.

[@orangeflavoredtoothpaste7420]

The KFAD2 fandom lives RAAAAAAH 🦅🦅🦅

[@BierBart12]

I randomly discovered this a year or so after it ended. Probably the first time I felt what was once called a nerdgasm, but I was also sad that I was too late, since I was pretty deep into the original Soundcloud shitposting scene that started all of this back then

[@SwiftyStardust]

I remember following KFAD2 back when it was ongoing. Damn, that really was an unforgettable event in internet history. For the record, I was rooting for Off the Hook ft. Paruko (F in the chat boys), Daft Punk ft. Pharrell, and Law & Disorder. (In the case of the latter, it probably helps that I'd just gotten into Danganronpa around that time)

Where did you get the story videos from? There isn’t a playlist I can find so I assume it’s in the giant kfad2 playlist but is there a place I can find it easier because I didn’t know there was a story

I animated them and hired VAs to act them out. The original lines are from the kfad mojo mentioned in the vid. Hope this helps!
