Lance/Champion Red Battle Theme Extended (Piano)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- The battle theme for the OG protagonist from Green/Red/Blue in Gold/Silver/Crystal. Also infamously used for Lance's Championship battle. Amazing what Junichi Masuda was able to do with 3 lines and a rhythm track in those 8-bit chiptunes back in the day.
This was originally supposed to be a round of VERSUS, but I delayed so much that my opponent had to upload. Sorry Ryan!

=====(The Details/Performer's Notes)=====
Another tricky arrangement split into 3 main sections. I wanted to cover the original and also do something different with the somewhat more obscure Pokémon Puzzle Challenge Variation (Nobody has covered this variation to my knowledge).
The Original theme is fairly dense, but limited to the middle of the piano. I wanted to stay as true to the original Gameboy theme as possible. Fits fairly well in the hands all things considered. This is the easiest section, but still can be tricky. I would only expect an experienced pianist to be able to tackle this properly.
The middle section is based off of the Gameboy Advanced "Pokemon Puzzle Challenge" version. The source material is basically a Pokémon-skinned Tetris Attack; my favorite version of Tetris. I'll take anyone on in the N64 version of that game. If only more people played and there was online matchmaking... This part of the arrangement is the trickiest and full of tremolos, rapid double repeated notes, weird rhythmic ostinatos, fast passagework on and off the black keys, and large leaps. Players be warned. The passagework isn't the most awkward, but it's clear it was composed without taking an actual human playing it, in mind. AKA It took me much longer than anticipated to "master" this sections (still much room for improvement tbh).
The final section is based off of a "pseudo-tango-like" chromatic left hand accompaniment which leads into a final rapid flourish to close the piece. Not too much else to say.
Your Pianist,
Erik C.

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
True that. I'll have to update the description.
Apologizes for the delay with this vid. Lance/Red are just too strong for me 😓
You did amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing this masterpiece with us! 💛💫
UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Excelente interpretación, tendrás pensado hacer interpretaciones del juego clasico Castlevania symphony of the night?
@@seansalzman7071 MILLION YEARS DUNGEON
@@jassayrodriguez7060haven't played much Castlevania myself. Maybe someday...
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.
Versus 4 months apart!! Haha good to have you back! Whose arrangement reigns supreme? Let us know in the comments!
Has it really been that long? Whoops. The next one will be better!
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.
Awesome arrangement! Love the polyphony
Glad you like it!
average music appreciation course taker
"Love the polyphony" ☝🤓stfu loser just say chords like the rest of
Me listening to this with enthusiasm. My girlfriend from the other room: "WHY DO I HEAR BOSS MUSIC?"
This just made my day and it hasn't started yet
Sir this is amazing and an inventive way to redo this song. I love this
Can’t wait to listen your new rearrangement
YESSS
I commented on your Cynthia video 2 years ago asking for this. Thank you for delivering
BRAVO I love the fact that Pokémon fans didn't lose ourselves while growing up
Enormous hype
Ah yeah! Perfect for taking out not one, not two, but THREE dragonites!
this is amazing, i absolutely love your arrangements !
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!
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!
This goes hard!! did not expect that haha
I was just watching your Volo video, and now this masterpiece, incredible
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?!
god, the puzzle challenge arrangement sounds sinister. i love it.
Phenomenal performance!!!
The pokemon puzzle variation sounds like you are fighting an evil red
Let’s gooo 🔥❤️
Fantastic !!! Thanks for this amazing job !
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.
This is very epic, well done Erik
THAT JAZZY RIFF!
Absolutely wonderfoul performance 🎶
So amazing!
amazing good job and thanks for sharing
Wow one of the best boss songs of the franchise bravo!!!!!
damn thats was a ride 🔥
Nice modulations and blues scales
I LOVE IT!
Good stuff
AAADHHDH I LOVE THIS AND I LOVE RED AND I LOVE POKEMON AND I JUST LOVE THIS!!!!! 💞💞💞💞💞💐
very nice
I love it. Hey btw what is your reach? Can you hit 9th’s comfortably or maybe 10? Just curious thanks
9ths are about my limit. 10ths I can reach but it's a stretch/limited.
Brooo, quedo god
So epic
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
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!!
I would still really like the sheets for this.
Really Amazing
can you do Dragon Quest XI please
How long did it take you to get where you are now, with the piano?
The theme music for battling red was just too hard had no right to be this hard
Whats the little ending theme called?😮
What piano software is that?
naaa un clasico nada mejor te ganaste una nueva sub ;D
can you do a cover of starbit festival from super mario galaxy? that would be cool
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*

Pokemon had no reason to go that hard in the very first generation.
That's the second Gen.
