this video has been in the works for over a year and has undergone 3 separate complete iterations... sorry it took so long to get released!! we hope you like it!!
Unless RichaadEB wrote the original version, than it still technically counts as a cover. I think whoever produces it also matters, and since RichaadEB (i think) produced this version and not the original that, again, technically counts as a cover vice a remix. That being said I am hardly an expert on this subject.
@@magistermartin3996 well, Im not about to exhaust too much time explaining the semantics of a 2 year old joke so I'll leave you with this. "track" is a commonly used term for a song. when an artist plays a song by a different artist, its called a cover. Vee is the vocalist for the original version of this song therefor you could conclude the original is her track. Here, she's also providing the vocals for an unofficial cover of her track. thus, she's covering her own track. If you dont get it, you dont get it, and thats fine. its an internet joke my guy, not english class.
I am here within the video's first 2,000 views to express my absolute love for RichaadEB, Cristina Vee, and Shantae as a series. Still crossing my fingers for #ShantaeForSmash...
So did I! I even got a chance to ask her how she was introduced to her role as the voice of Shantae! I've got the video on my channel if you wanna see?
I chose Cristina's voice for my character in Xenoblade X which I have well over 5k hours in and every time I hear her sing I naturally hear my Xenoblade character as well. Her voice is so engraved in my gaming days.
Man this was just as good, if not better than the original song! The only thing that would've enhanced the experience, would be if Cristina cosplayed as Shantae while singing!
This is a very good and well done cover. Having the original voice of Christina helps, too. It's a fine piece of music, really, I like it, but it would absolutely not fit in the game, the chiptune"y" just fits Shantae better.
They say we live in the darkness They say there's trouble ahead Every day there's sorrow: today, tomorrow But I'm dancing instead 'Cause I can dance through the danger The magic flows through my soul All around, it's seeming in the dream I'm dreaming A better day can't be far away So I will dance through the danger And fly away to the stars Take my lead and I'll start it to the beat of my heart I'll never give up in my fight 'til the future is bright (instrumental) So we will dance through the danger Together we'll never fail We will forge a path to our destiny I ask you to dance with me, so the world can see That we can dance through the danger Together we will set sail For a time and space with a faster pace Seeing the world as a happier place Yes, we can dance through the danger And fly away to the stars Come along, don't miss this 'Cause I know that this is our time
That was AMAZING! Great job with the guitar instrumental, and Cristina's performance was breathtaking, as usual! Totally worth the wait! But I only have 1 question... I believe that Cristina once said that this music video was gonna feature her Shantae cosplay that many fans have been waiting in anticipation for ever since she reached 100K followers on Twitter, which was quite a while ago. Was her cosplay originally planned to be part of this music video? If so then what happened? Was that decision cancelled at the last minute? Or did Cristina decide to save it for a different special occasion?
Only thing that could have made this somehow better would be her dressing up as Shantae or having an animated Shantae somewhere in the video. This was absolutely fantastic. Top marks for both of you.
Well I believe Cristina said she was gonna cosplay as Shantae for this music video a while back, but it doesn't appear to be present here for some reason.
Great cover! Freaking metal! \w/ Love Christina Vee and love Shantae. Would love to see Shantae headbanging, maybe windmilling specifically with her long, purple hair down sometime in game to one of these covers some time! Wayforward make it happen! Keep on rocking Christina! Much love!
I am about halfway through Half Genie Hero. I hope there is a level that has the song again. It was nice for this one to be playing at the first level.
I don’t know why but I can hear this being played during a future shantae game where this new baron tries to take over the land and shantae gets assisted by the ammo baron, his fleet and her friends as they assault the new barons base who could have a similar fleet to the ammo baron.
ahh, the song that stuck hard in my head due to it being in the loading screen on the wiiu version, and playing over and over during the incredibly long credits while the entire kickstarter donator list scrolled...
Think the only thing that could have made this better is her cosplaying as Shantae and him as Bolo (the blue haired guy, think that is his name). Still, superb work on this 👍
this video has been in the works for over a year and has undergone 3 separate complete iterations... sorry it took so long to get released!!
we hope you like it!!
Absolutely worth it! The song's already a banger, but you made it ten times better!
Cristina + you = 10/10 every time.
I do, in fact, like it! Very much!
There, question answered😁
This has been in my rotation since you first released it.
Did one of those 3 iterations feature Cristina cosplaying as Shantae?
If you do a cover of a song with the original singer, doesn’t that technically make it a remix?
Unless RichaadEB wrote the original version, than it still technically counts as a cover. I think whoever produces it also matters, and since RichaadEB (i think) produced this version and not the original that, again, technically counts as a cover vice a remix.
That being said I am hardly an expert on this subject.
I'm thinking this is more or less an updated remaster of the original track, but hey, who cares? It still rips!
i admittedly am unsure
A remix is something done through sounds and isn’t played live
Alt Version?
Shantae protects. Shantae attacks. But most importantly, she covers her own tracks.
What?
@@magistermartin3996 Cristina Vee is Shantae's voice actor and singer for the original. shes literally covering her own song
@@AzurelimitM uhh cover her tracks is not thr correct phrasr for that matr

Fantastic cover! And the vocals are spot-on-- hey wait a minute!!
Of COURSE there are; She Sang the ORIGINAL, TOO!!
@@New3DSLuigi364 thanks captain
@@New3DSLuigi364 r/woooosh
@@Just_A_Dude you're not wrong, but this also isn't reddit
@@New3DSLuigi364 good job, you successfully missed the point of his comment
Just realized some of the poses she's doing are straight up Shantae poses and it gives me the happy chemical.
Damn, this vocalist mimics the original one so well...hold up!
Christina vee is the one who sings the original song too. She's also the voice actor for Shantae.
@@XxpesomanxX That's the joke...
Lmao true...wait a second!! THAT'Sー
XxPesoManxX is your brain melted ice cream?
@@kittlegame5550 @Scitch2781 i really hope the two of you learned how to read since posting these comments
I believe we were promised a Shantae cosplay from Cristina.
i was not aware of this but am very interested none the less.
*insert Lenny face* Yes please
Hunter Hoke why type “insert Lenny face” when you can pretty much just as easily just do the thing: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)?
Maybe she lost the costume or something?
Normal or pirate curses princess outfit.
I'm loving all the Shantae love! Vee did incredible in Half Genie Hero!
I think she's been doing voice work for Shantae since Pirate's Curse.
Aaaaand we can add THAT to the playlist of songs I listen to over and over.
This needs to be in Smash when Shantae finally gets her rightful spot on the roster.
im so sorry
@@iaifia3224 For what? I wasn't under the impression she'd be in Ultimate or something, there's the inevitable Smash 6 to look forward to.
I am here within the video's first 2,000 views to express my absolute love for RichaadEB, Cristina Vee, and Shantae as a series.
Still crossing my fingers for #ShantaeForSmash...
Wow, you actually have the real Cristina Vee for the cover!
She's does son amazing Voice Acting and Singing
Wait. Did she voice Shantae? Explains why it sounds just like her lol
It isn't their first collab, either. They did a great version of Bad Apple
Ushimimi and Pop Stars!
I like the "real" in the first comment.
@@SeiryokuBonne Yep, she's both Shantae and Risky.
I met Cristina last year at FanExpo and It still was amazing!!!
Lucky ;-;
Grats. She seems like a really cool and nice person. I'm jelly.
So did I! I even got a chance to ask her how she was introduced to her role as the voice of Shantae! I've got the video on my channel if you wanna see?
I love everything about this! The only thing that's missing is a Shantae cosplay!
But in him 😂
Love Cristina Vee, she does her job masterfully. Didn't realize that was actually her singing!
I chose Cristina's voice for my character in Xenoblade X which I have well over 5k hours in and every time I hear her sing I naturally hear my Xenoblade character as well. Her voice is so engraved in my gaming days.
if her hair was purple, Ms Vee would look like a real life Shantae.
David Pumpkins Jr. she would be irl shantae at that point.
And if her ponytail was longer and used as a whip, of course.
I dunno, I think she would pull off Risky Boots a little better :P
but shantae is darker?
Man this was just as good, if not better than the original song! The only thing that would've enhanced the experience, would be if Cristina cosplayed as Shantae while singing!
Yes officer, that's the one horny on main
This is a very good and well done cover. Having the original voice of Christina helps, too. It's a fine piece of music, really, I like it, but it would absolutely not fit in the game, the chiptune"y" just fits Shantae better.
They say we live in the darkness
They say there's trouble ahead
Every day there's sorrow: today, tomorrow
But I'm dancing instead
'Cause I can dance through the danger
The magic flows through my soul
All around, it's seeming in the dream I'm dreaming
A better day
can't be far away
So I will dance through the danger
And fly away to the stars
Take my lead and I'll start it to the beat of my heart
I'll never give up in my fight 'til the future is bright
(instrumental)
So we will dance through the danger
Together we'll never fail
We will forge a path to our destiny
I ask you to dance with me, so the world can see
That we can dance through the danger
Together we will set sail
For a time and space with a faster pace
Seeing the world as a happier place
Yes, we can dance through the danger
And fly away to the stars
Come along, don't miss this
'Cause I know that this is our time
Sounds really great, but the original vocalist was way better
(Kidding, of course)
She IS the original vocalist!!
@@New3DSLuigi364 I think that's the joke lmao
@@New3DSLuigi364 She's just not as good as the original one; she's still good tho
K2SonicFan r/whoooosh
The original singer was ass this ones way better completely different
Wow, she has a great voice. Awesome guitar playing as always!
Check out the other collabs they've done, it's quality stuff.
Cristina is so amazing! I wish I could meet her someday and thank her for voicing my favorite game lady Shantae!
More christina collabs when?
and moar twuwhu wen
Great song, i instantly loved it while i started the game running trough the first intro stage, increadible feeling!
Thank-you Christina V for this amazing cover. I can see Shantea dancing hahaha
IT'S HERE! And it's so good! Excellent job! I'm living for her dancing to this.
0:02 was just adorable
This cover is amazing. Now all I need is Shantae to receive her Smash invitation and I'll be set. Great job you two! Your performance was magical!
Metal + Shantae = Myrath, apparently.
Christina Vee
That was AMAZING! Great job with the guitar instrumental, and Cristina's performance was breathtaking, as usual! Totally worth the wait! But I only have 1 question...

Perhaps shantae in smash
SHANTAE FOREVER!!
Your music collaborations with Cristina are always my favorite and completely flawless. You two are a great team! Superb job. :D
That solo was light hold up a lighter excellent🕯Christina kicked ass as usual
I almost forgot that this masterpiece existed, thank you Richaad and Cristina !
Always love the Cristina guestspots!

Figures this version didn’t come out till Seven Sirens dropped. Still love it though!
The lyrics to this song hit harder now more than ever. Fantastic version. ❤
Good cover, love the song! But where's the Shantae cosplay that Cristina Vee promised us almost a year ago?
Good question.
Its going on her onlyfans in a couple days
@@notsans9995 Does she actually have an OnlyFans?
@@trollunderthebridge8696 yes, $15 a month. Pretty hot shit
What
Absolutely amazing, much love for Shantae
Omg!!! Dream collaboration 💗
I'm still fascinated by the fact that Cristina was open to doing this, I never really pegged her for liking Metal much
She started her career covering anime songs on youtube. I doubt she would be averse to a cover of her own song :)
This is an amazing cover! And it’s awesome that Christina worked with you!
i absolutely LOVE this 💜❤️
When I first heard Shantae's voice I thought it sounded familiar turns out it one of my favorite Voice Actors
I love this game & the amazing artists who make it so fantastic. Thank y'all so much! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
AWESOME!... Though didn't Cristina say she'd cosplay as Shantae for the music video?
it's probably offensive now or something
That's what I was wondering!
@@KairuHakubi How is it offensive?
@@Supercatandrewman with how revealing shantae's outfit is? Lot's of people would find this offensive
@@augmundfireweave5348 It's less revealing than just about any swimsuit, and plenty of UA-camrs wear those....
Gotta say...this beat the original....but the original was fucking great too! You have done the world a service.
Great cover! Freaking metal! \w/ Love Christina Vee and love Shantae. Would love to see Shantae headbanging, maybe windmilling specifically with her long, purple hair down sometime in game to one of these covers some time! Wayforward make it happen! Keep on rocking Christina! Much love!
Amazing work, Richard. Also rock on, Ms. Vee! 🙏
Who the hell disliked this video? This is pure awesomeness condensed in 3 minutes
They saaaay we live in the daaaarkness, they say there's trouble aheaaad
This song needs to play if Shantae gets in smash
:(
@@BenHameen33 well at least she's in somehow
@@azrieldreamer We DID get a music track... that's something
*HEADBANGS TO THIS SONG*
HECK YEAH!!! 🤟😩🔥🔥🔥
So happy it's out.
Been waiting for a while holding out for hope that this was still happening.
This is amazing! RichaadEB, you are already incredible. Adding in Cristina Vee just takes it to a whole new level! Well done!
The fact he got Cristina to do this makes this even better
Omg Yesssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job and an amazing collab!
Good lord this is awsome
Shantae for Smash
This is Darkness from Konosuba.
I'm gonna let that sink in for ya.
Love this song, by the way.
I can just imagine this would be what a smash remix version of the song would sound like if shantae ever got in smash
1:17
Cristina's joy gives me joy
Shantae is always headbanging, so you know she's a metalhead 🤘🧞♀️
シャンティの曲もカバーしちゃうリチャード、マジ神だ…
omg I just started playing the game I've had it forever and I love the song, its on the first level and I'm addicted
literally a miracle that you uploaded this the same day I started the game and I found this video the same day I beat it...crazy world of coincidences
Holy fuck. This is metal AF and I love it. That's a drop tuning, too.
I didn't know how much I needed a metal cover of this until just now.
First was only music, now this is official video. Your performance is excellent :) I love it :D
You two are the ultimate power duo.
Wait...if we're doing Wayforward covers, are you gunna do a River City Girls intro with Ms. Vee? (Especially since she did the intro for that. :D )
Sun Shines
Skate is BACK!!!!!
And most importantly this Cover ROOOOCCCKKKSSS!!!!!
Idk but this has been on Apple Music for a while now, it’s in my RichaadEB playlist
Not to say that it doesn’t rip like hell, its just that it originally released around the same time that the voiced version of devil trigger came out
Yes but the music video is what took so long
Shan ate is the genie hero
Ayy that's thr VA of Shantae!
Shantae Is the protector of Scuttletown
oh HELL YES. This was awesome. Never played Shantae but DAYUM
I am about halfway through Half Genie Hero. I hope there is a level that has the song again. It was nice for this one to be playing at the first level.
best metal cover i have heard in a minute. makes me thankful im even still subscribed
I AM SHOOK!!!! Fantastic work on this cover!
Who knew she had such a great voice?
Anyone who played or watched gameplay of half genie hero
@@redmaverick751 or checked her channel
The only way this could be better is if you got Cherami Leigh and Karen Strassman as backup singers. Great video
So who should we get to sing this Shantae song?
How about Shantae herself?
just wow.
Can’t wait till Shantae Advance comes out
I am so happy Wayforward kept Cristina Vee as Shantae's voice actress but i am really sad that Jake Kaufman left, does anyone know why?
I know this is late but Jake left due to occupational burnout. He started up Mint Potion Studios so I believe that is where he currently is working.
GOOSEBUMPS OH GOD THIS IS AMAZING
I don’t know why but I can hear this being played during a future shantae game where this new baron tries to take over the land and shantae gets assisted by the ammo baron, his fleet and her friends as they assault the new barons base who could have a similar fleet to the ammo baron.

RET 2 GO!
Certified banger.
Here before the notification, babyeee!
This is sooooooooo awesomeeeeeeeeee 😳👌💯✨
A banger song from a banger game series about half-dressed half-genies fighting Pirates put on Mick Gordon mode.
what an amazing song. This cover/remix is insane 😁
Fantastic collabing as usual, and #shantaeforsmash!!!
Think the only thing that could have made this better is her cosplaying as Shantae and him as Bolo (the blue haired guy, think that is his name).
Still, superb work on this 👍
