  • 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.

      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.

    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
      @ErikCPianoman  ปีที่แล้ว

      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!
