We don't get enough SNK music on this channel. We don't get a lot of fighting game music on this channel now that I really think about it. So this arrangement of "Esaka?" from '96 is really nice!
In my case, I maybe cover a bit too many fighting games haha but fighting games just have some great themes. I gotta cover from this game at some point though
Glad this came out as well as it did, been waiting for a KoF song for a long time. Especially given that there's only been one Neo Geo song on the channel at all before this it's been a long time coming. Glad to have contributed once again. Bodegas in chat
KoF is a franchise that I'm surprised you haven't covered more: It's a series filled with bangers after bangers after bangers, and this one was no exception! The guitar was amazing as always, but also the solo was really cool, and the leadup to it was really well-done as well! You nailed this one, Jonny, and I see Prince Mush as the end, so I'm excited! (Also just hoping for more KoF songs in the future) Anyways, for requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4. Barok van Zieks ~ Grim Reaper of the Old Bailey (The Great Ace Attorney Adventures) 5. Pink Ball Activate! (Kirby Planet Robobot) 6. Smart Race (Deltarune Chapter 2) 7. The Almighty (Persona 4) 8. Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart (Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom) 9. Rage Awakened (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix) 10. Soul Ablaze (Mega Man ZX Advent) 11. Ekoroshia (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair) 12. Battle! Zero Lab (Pokemon Scarlet & Violet) 13. Unexpectancy (Pizza Tower) 14. World Tournament Theme (Dragon Ball Fusions) 15. Bust a Move! (Ginga Force)
KoF is one of my favorite franchises. I used to play 2002 almost daily. That said I wanna request 'Scrap and build ourselves' from Eternal Sonata. This is request 120+ and you will not stop seeing my requests until I get it. I am approaching my second year requesting this song and I must say I have not forgotten why I want this song at all. I love Chopin's music, he's my favorite composer of all time (I bought a guitar driven by a desire to play his music). Sakuraba is my favorite game composer; I listen to the music composed by him at least twice per month. Finally, I listen to most covers of GaMetal and often times listen to them while working on stuff or studying. Just do that cover already Jonny. I am not giving up.
10/10 Iori Yagami's hate this one GaMetal trick! That was absolutely sensational - hearing that classic track with extra oomph and then have it exploded in a desperation move really delivered, I'm talking cold sweat goosebumps, WOW! And with that tease of Kyo's other songs at the end (Goodbye Esaka?), this is just the juice I'll need to get through the day. Thank you as always Jonny, we're blessed to have you!
Bro... you really didn't... damn, you did, I adore you gametal, I love your covers, I liked seeing you do more covers of snk games after covering Big shot from fatal fury 3, I would love to see more, for now enjoy this little gem, thanks
I’m sooooo happy to hear a KoF cover from you! You absolutely nailed it! I’d love to see you cover Desert Requiem from KoF 2002. I feel like you’d rock the hell out of that one!😉
King Of Fighter's 98 is one of my favorite fighting games of all time but I get chills hearing this because I know I'm about to get my arse thrown into oblivion by Goro in a matter of moments...
Never played kof but this alone makes me wanna give a try! Awesome cover mate ^-^ I've got a couple suggestions that have been bugging me for a while: 1) Overcoat Technology from Strikers 1945 II 2) Black Knight theme from Family Guy the Video Game. Best source I could find is the whole ost in one video that's 5+ hours. Timestamp is 4:51:39 to 4:52:42
Yes! Finally, some KOF! Had it release a week early, it could've came in the same week as EVO, to align perfectly! You choose the perfect song for your first KOF cover. Of the many ESAKA tracks, this is likely the most iconic. Please do BB Channel from Fate/EXTRA CCC.
Hey, I have a question. Do you know Joe Higashi's seiyuu is Nobuyuki Hiyama? What an underrated seiyuu he is. Oh, I saw your comment at Nestalgica's channel, my opinion to that guy, his left handed techniques remind me of Kurt Cobain hahaha 😁
@@arthurgadytibayan1411 I wouldn't say Hiyama is underrated. He's voice an insane amount of great and popular characters, like Hiei (Yu Yu Hakusho), Link (Ocarina of Time), Siegfried (Soul Calibur), among so many others. That man is a legend! And yeah I also follow Nostalgica. He is quite the underrated channel. I really hope at some point his channel gets a boost, because he is great.
LET'S GOOOO! I'm didn't expect this to happen so soon after I requested this in the Ballot. Very grateful for this and what it could mean in the future for KOF & SNK covers. They cannot be beat! I would offer other songs but the list would simply be too long. I hope you enjoyed making this as much as I'm going to enjoy jamming to it.
We need more people to do King of Fighters music appreciation and reactions. It's so very few people on UA-cam who are doing anything with KOF music and it's an absolute travesty
Rock on my guy! Requesting Fighting With All Our Might from Shovel Knight, The Only Thing I Know For Real from MGR: Revengeance, and Vergil’s Theme from DMC 3.
Even in the realm of fighting games it's possible to discover some amazing ost. This is giving me an idea for a future 'month of': the Gametal Evo; you can choose a track to cover, one per fighting franchise.
1.) Street Fighter 2.) Tekken 3.) Soul Calibur 4.) Mortal Kombat 5.) The King of Fighters 6.) Fatal Fury 7.) Guilty Gear 8.) BlazBlue 9.) Virtua Fighter 10.) Dead Or Alive 11.) Under Night In-Birth 12.) Marvel vs Capcom I didn't include license ones like Dragon Ball FighterZ to the list, but these are also welcomed. 👍
Gametal Evo is a great idea SF6: Ashura (Shin Akuma theme) T8: My Last Stand (of course) GGST: Crawl GBVSR: Existence KOF15: Resonant Objects or Great Grit 3S: Crazy Chili Dog Not sure about MK1 but you could figure something out
Fun fact, the piano riff in this song was the inspiration for Elphelt's theme in Guilty Gear Xrd, and it features in her Guilty Gear Strive theme, too.
Omg love it!!!!!!! I wish I can play on electric guitar one day… even if it’s the simpler version… definitely on my bucket list ! Thanks for the amazing performance!
*Sound of Mexican joy* I'll be honest, Kyo is not one of my favorite characters in the saga...but his themes are another story, How had I not seen the previous video, it gave me a huge surprise and joy to see Esaka? having your Remix from you....and it doesn't disappoint at all as always Greetings from Mexico
Awesome love there rock and roll you make.thanks for making my favorite song remix Edit: can you make the one from KOF 97 from kyo theme plisse we really need more of him theme
I posted this to twitter but seems like the site ate it? lol anyway maaan love your stuff and have bought quite a bit of it! Hearing this really makes me want to hear a cover of Fairy from the same game. I think you'd love it, very bluesy guitar especially on the 96 Arrange version
Esaka has always been one of my favorite fighting game themes. This goes hard. Even better because they just released SNK vs Capcom Chaos. KOF had such great music and Kyo has always been one of my mains even If I'm not the best at the game.
We don't get enough SNK music on this channel. We don't get a lot of fighting game music on this channel now that I really think about it. So this arrangement of "Esaka?" from '96 is really nice!
In my case, I maybe cover a bit too many fighting games haha but fighting games just have some great themes. I gotta cover from this game at some point though
I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need more fighting game music covers here, I love it when you do covers of them
Finally. A Kof's music cover UwU
I need more this!
WE'RE BEATING AN EVIL GOD REINCARNATED INSIDE A KID WITH THIS ONE🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️
LOLL OROCHI
… You can’t just tease me with “Goodbye Esaka” right after all that. I hope that’s something we can listen to in full as well.
It's on the downloads page now.
@@TonyTheTGRTony, are you saying that the song starting from 3:16 has also the full version on the website? I did not find it :/
Glad this came out as well as it did, been waiting for a KoF song for a long time. Especially given that there's only been one Neo Geo song on the channel at all before this it's been a long time coming. Glad to have contributed once again.

"Heh heh, feel the burn?"
Now this is a surprise! Basically, this is the "Ryu theme" of KOF.
Holy shit! I've been waiting for your rendition of Esaka. It's great!
There's no way Jonny just drops PEAK KOF LIKE THIS
We need Tears or Goodbye Esaka next please I'm begging you.
KOF was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Can’t believe I almost missed a KOF cover from you! And with one of the most iconic tracks, too!
Bro... you really didn't... damn, you did, I adore you gametal, I love your covers, I liked seeing you do more covers of snk games after covering Big shot from fatal fury 3, I would love to see more, for now enjoy this little gem, thanks

Sick cover one one of the goat songs of fighting games. Awesome that you went with the arranged version, feel like the solo adds so much
Kurai... Yagare!
Heheh moetaro
Man, this was and still is one of my fave tracks in KoF, and it had a lot of fellow bangers to compete too. Thanks for the treat, Jonny!
about time this classic got the gametal touch, arranged version too no less. loving the added instrumentation at the end!
HELL YEAH MORE FIGHTING GAME MUSIC.
Please please please cover Fairy too

Oooo this really makes me wanna hear you do one for Goodbye Esaka from kof 2000
Nvm i just got to the end of the video for the acoustic version

King Of Fighter's 98 is one of my favorite fighting games of all time but I get chills hearing this because I know I'm about to get my arse thrown into oblivion by Goro in a matter of moments...

Violent fighting to come again

Requesting Ark Mall from Astral Chain.

One of my all time favourite fighting game themes! Glad to see that you used the AST version as a basis.

Please next kyo theme "tear" from King of fighter 1999
i would love to hear a cover of tears or maybe sadistic eyes there´s so many good tracks in the kof franchise.
KoF 99's team Ikari and Korea's theme are a must hear and i hope Jonny will cover them soon
Utterly fantastic take on the already-great '96 arrangement. Would love to hear more from '96, especially Fairy.
Absolutely phenomenal work on this. It was good from the start to the end.
Fun fact, the piano riff in this song was the inspiration for Elphelt's theme in Guilty Gear Xrd, and it features in her Guilty Gear Strive theme, too.
K9999: "KUSANAGI!!!!"
Kusanagi: "San" wo tsukeru yo, dekosuke yaro!!!
Me encanto!
Veré si tienes uno de goodbye esaka
Another amazing cover. Fighting games almost never disappoint.
I have seen many covers of it but by far this is one of best and epic ones
You know what I could totally see bro doing? ‘Scattered Souls Across Isolated Isles’.
The best fight game of all time! KOF 98 is underrated! Fantastic cover bro! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Esaka es su saka? That didn't make sense, it sounded funnier in my head.
love when jonny remixes songs from fighting games!
The best Esaka cover i've ever heard
Omg love it!!!!!!! I wish I can play on electric guitar one day… even if it’s the simpler version… definitely on my bucket list !
Thanks for the amazing performance!
Keeping the solo intact 🤌
And that Goodbye Esaka at the end 🔥
Latinoamericanos: Hoy se come 😎🤑
I was listening to the K' theme in KOF13 and I thought that a cover with your style would be amazing.
Thanks for this amazing rendition of Esaka
*Sound of Mexican joy*
I'll be honest, Kyo is not one of my favorite characters in the saga...but his themes are another story,
How had I not seen the previous video, it gave me a huge surprise and joy to see Esaka? having your Remix from you....and it doesn't disappoint at all as always
Greetings from Mexico
