Funnily enough, Virgil and Jetstream sam have the same japanese voice actor, Hiroaki Hirata. Edit: Hiroaki Hirata voiced Virgil ever since devil may cry 3, so no way did Platinum games unintentionally make him the voice actor for Sam, lol.
This dude is so skilled he can be a serious challenge to a cyborg ninja capable of suplexing a gigantic robot approximately the size of a skyscraper who has a super slicy sword and a bunch of grenades with only a similar super slicy sword, exosuit, minimal cybernetic enhancements, gunhilt, fists, wit, smacktalk and (trollface)
@@ImDaRealBoi A sword is useless in the hands of an aprentice, Sam was a SwordMaster so the Murasama felt stronger because it was backed by his skills.
I realised Jack had a goal but not the drive to commit while Sam was the exact opposite. Willingness to go all out, but without a reason to fight other than fighting. And in the end Sam just tests Jack to see if he has become willing.
That´s the proof that confirms Sam is a consumed Sword-Master, and Raiden need it several Upgrades in velocity and streght for beat him. If Sam could used a similar body that wouldn't happend
idk, if he didn't had that explosive m4 scabbard he wouldn't have cut raidens arm off. Also isn't he supposed to be as mighty as he is because of his resolve and conviction?
Sam was a man who lost everything, his family, his pride, his drive, and he died to saucy jack, and even then, he is still a pain in my ass. Edit: 4k likes, most I ever had. I appreciate it alot.

This guy, even without the cyborg enhancements and HF Blade, is probably stronger than Big Boss. That's scary. What's even *scarier* is imagining him with Vamp and Armstrong's nanomachines, and even some Cyborg enhancements on top of that (if it's possible). If he had all that then he'd probably be the single strongest Metal Gear character by a wide margin.
Sam, unaugmented dreamboat that he is, seriously looked at the lightning powered, spine ripping Jack and bounced his shit like a ball of rubber bands. love this giga chad
The moment after you defeat him, and Jack realizes he was pretty much all human, you're left with the feeling you'd get from having accidentally killed the last unicorn.
Sam is clearly one of the best characters in the Metal Gear Universe!... hope someday he gets his own story and game ! And I can't stop myself to listen this badass song everyday!
instanbul1511 Same! I finally did Armstrong on Hard using Sam, but it was on PC so the boss fights were there when you complete the game. I think you unlock Sam & Bladewolf's bosses by finishing their campaigns. ***** How did you get the vocals sound different, did you use the Vocals Only version of it?
All he had was an exosuit and one cyborg limb and he still defeated raiden, who can defeat MG Ray no prob, in their first fight. He wins, even in death!
@@TheSnakeThatShakes Nah, you’re underselling how much effort Sam put into that fight. He did take it seriously but in the end the only way to really kill him was with the heart, which only Raiden could get to with his cybernetic enhancements
@@dailydoseofvitaminc6565 Like someone else said, Sam should've drawn the fight out longer to tire Armstrong out instead of trying to end it quickly, to turn it into a war of attrition to overwhelm the nanomachine defenses of the senator.
Its easy to think this theme is about sam, since its his fight song, but the lyrics are actually about Raiden embracing himself like Sam wanted him to. "Memories broken, truth goes unspoken, i've even forgotten my name" Is about Raidens continual attempts to hide the killer he was as a child, attempting to bury the ripper persona and hide who he used to be (or rather, still is) from the people he loves, even going so far as to rename himself Raiden or mr Lightning bolt. Notice the people he loves call him Raiden, but his enemies all call him Jack because they see him for who he was and still is. "dont know the season/the reason im standing here holding my blade" is about Raiden slowly losing his sense of purpose for his fighting throughout the game, slowly slipping back into the primal hunger for violence he had as Jack the Ripper and abandoning his facade of justice. "a desolate place without any trace, its only the cold wind i feel"; this is probably describing the unfulfilling feelings Raiden has as a "hero", and how his crusade against the WINDS of destruction is driving him on not for justice's sake, but because killing and fighting makes him feel alive, in a way he probably hasnt in a long, long time. "Its me that i spite as i stand up and fight, the only thing i know for real" is Raiden finally dropping his facade and no longer lying to himself (or rather, spiting). He still is Jack the Ripper, and he always will be. He is done denying it, and finally embraces the killer within. "Man in the mirror nods his head" probably refers to Sam, Raiden's foil and rival who helped him to embrace the Ripper within, happy that he finally got Raiden to embrace what he already had; the urge to kill. "the mountains dont give back what they take" is about Raiden trying to leave his Ripper persona behind in Liberia, but now knowing this unending lust for war cant be left behind, his loss of innocence on that battlefield cant be reclaimed; it died long ago, and now jack the ripper stands in its place.
It's more likely that the lyrics are about BOTH of them, rather than just being about Raiden or Sam, if you want to look at it as not being about Sam. I mean, just think about it, the lyrics fit with both of them, and Sam is a kind of rival to Raiden, so it works that way as well. Just assuming you've played the Ssm DLC, that would better contextualize what I'm saying. Edit: forgot to mention about the little monologue before you fight Armstrong. That would also help.
It's about both of them. Sam losing sight of who he was and why he fights, lamenting on destroying his life. Raiden embraces who he is meant to be, what he was made for: being a ruthless killer. Embracing Sam's ideals.
Interesting how Sam has a scar that's very similar to the one that he gave Raiden, possibly got it the same way too. Except he was able to keep his eye, unlike Raiden. Just one more subtle nod to his superiority in skills that Raiden managed to overcome through his cybernetics.
My cousin and I used to play fight like this, but now we have done Karate, Boxing, MMA and more together and we always test who is better, and what the other can improve on for a great fight.
Honestly, if anyone's a genius here, it's Jamie Christopherson. His compositions are the reason these mixes exist after all; I just made a few edits to change how they sound, is all. xD
@Right Mason? Really late reply, but basically the lyrics mirrors Robin's story (Long post ahead with a TLDR at the end) ''Memories broken The truth goes unspoken I've even forgotten my name I don't know the season Or what is the reason I'm standing here holding my blade'' _Robin's amnesia regarding everything except the fact that they can fight and use magic (which, in-universe, requires training or otherwordly powers...)_ ''The only thing I know for real There will be blood-shed The man in the mirror nods his head The only one left Will ride upon the dragon's back Because the mountains don't give back what they take Oh no There will be blood-shed It's the only thing I've ever known'' _Parallels the ending of the game (final skirmish atop Grima's back) and Robin's true form/alter ego_ ''Losing my identity Wondering have I gone insane To find the truth in front of me I must climb this mountain range Looking downward from this deadly height And never realizing why I fight'' _Robin realizing their true purpose (to be both a vessel and a weapon) but continuing on despite it and eventually winning. Can also reflect what happens in the bad ending where the ritual is a success and Grima!Robin is reborn._ *TL,DR: The song more or less accurately follows the plot of Awakening from Robin's perspective, from their true purpose/form to the realization of said purpose and what they ultimately do*
@@joemcgee3082 You forget the "desolate place" referring to the ruined wastelands around Plegia, where Robin was born and raised, and that is his own dark counterpart alluded to in "it's ME that I spite as I stand up and fight, the only thing I know for real", where he resolves to fight Grima seriously, even if it is his dark self.
I'd like to see a version of this where Raiden dies, but Sam takes up his ideals, and takes the fight to Armstrong with the same urge to kill him he did back in DL-01. Like Sam could take him, he would know what to look out for fighting him a second time. I just wanted him to get proper payback for his lost arm man
i say sir you and raiden are the best rivals at the gate of the game. you were like the eternal question to who would win samurai or ninja. and you guys sttle it in an old fasion western showdown. no buildings, no cyborgs, no boundaries
MGRR has the coolest plot and setting military Industrial complex on steroids - would be soooo perfect for a MGS V style game .... a proper MGRR sequel would be perfect too tho lol
I've always assumed it was from the drug cartels he fought in Brazil, but yeah, they never really explain where that came from, do they? I guess I'd be interested in knowing exactly who did that to him as well, then!
Pure creative genius. Most motivational hit I workout to heavily. Great one, looking forward to MGR 2 and hopefully a backstory relating to Sam besides his DLC pack.
I like how to lyrics singer changes every now and then, almost as if Sam is struggling to find the proper voice to display his emotions. (Of course it's also to make it sound cool since this is several remixes and the original packed together.)
I just realized that raiden and robodog is a reference to the story lone wolf and cub. What made this fight different is it wasn't some super over the top battle, it was two swordsman engaging in a duel to the death like Samurai of old
awesomegmod Raiden with a weaker cyborg body suplexed a MG Ray. Sam was forcing THAT Raiden back with his sheer strength and Pierced THAT Raiden's left eye and sliced his left arm with EASE while still SMIRKING with his classic shit eating grin. He did all that while just CASUALLY testing Raiden's limits. Plus he was still slightly faster and stronger than Raiden even after getting his enhanced Cyborg Body. And the best part is , he's still a fully fledged human with just a power suit and cybernetic right arm ... You can now guess the obvious highway gap between skills strength and speed for yourself.
***** Sam was already massive strong , durable , agile and fast with a huge amount of stamina. He was cutting through 5 - 20 ton robots like the Metal Gears like nothing. As if it was all in a day's work. Sure his HF blade and the power suit he was wearing played a part on that. But his strength and durability played a many times MORE bigger part for him into doing all those feats. The only reason Raiden won was because he was either equal to him , or outclassed him no all those physical attributes by the end. Only after killing Sam we realized that he was still Human ... A fucking HUMAN did all this shit mate ... I can't even BEGIN to imagine what would've went down , if Sam ever got the nano-machines modifications or Raiden's cyborg upgrades ... As it stands , Sam's very easily , currently stronger than most of the mainstream Marvel heroes right now.
"Rai" is the Japanese word for "lightning", the symbol of Raiden's character ("The rain transformed"). The Japanese word "Raiden" is another name for Raijin, the Japanese god of Thunder (which was also referenced in the "Mortal Kombat" series). Besides Raiden is a ninja, not a samurai. Sorry. Next time make sure you have the facts straight.
Congratulations on hitting one million views with this Remix, I'd say it's my favourite remix out of the bunch you've done. Besides the unlisted "It Has to be this Way"
Shit. I just realized this song goes with any adrenaline pound-for-pound matches or fights ... Imma use this for my DS 3 PvP swordfights now ... cuz that's the only thing i really know for real!.
I love this mix so much! Easily the best version of this song I've heard. I just wish you were still interested in this game, I would've loved to have heard a mix of Monsoon or Sundowner's theme
Thanks! And actually, the re-release of MGRR on Steam has renewed my interest a little bit in this game, so you may see mixes for those at some point in the future. ;)
Btw is it just me who wants to fight with a lot more confidence and a more natural flow of movement and attacks in-game after listening to this remix or do we all share the same awesomeness?

9 years have passed and this mix still a masterpiece
Theme song for the guy who should have been the protagonist
Nah he's better as a DLC main character, a role that he already has.
He was the protagonist if you took the time to play his DLC campaign.
Nah Raiden's better
Deserved more time to be fleshed out
He's the man that could have been the protagonist, and the man the protagonist could have become.
Ah yes, I'm indeed a man in the mirror that nods his head because of this banger.
when you and your friend find two good sticks at the playground: 0:00
Show me a good time Jack!
When ur friend grab a stick from the ground too: sHoW mE a GoOD TimE, JACk
I just pictured that in my head as soon as i read that,I WHEEZED SO HARD

My cousin and I used to play fight like this, but now we have done Karate, Boxing, MMA and more together and we always test who is better, and what the other can improve on for a great fight.

The perfection. The fabulousity. The creator must be a genius.
Honestly, if anyone's a genius here, it's Jamie Christopherson. His compositions are the reason these mixes exist after all; I just made a few edits to change how they sound, is all. xD
One of the things I love about this song is that it completely spoils the entire plot of Fire Emblem Awakening.
It does?
Kind of
Good lord that’s clever. Good meme, 7 month old commenting man.
@Right Mason? Really late reply, but basically the lyrics mirrors Robin's story (Long post ahead with a TLDR at the end)
''Memories broken
The truth goes unspoken
I've even forgotten my name
I don't know the season
Or what is the reason
I'm standing here holding my blade''
_Robin's amnesia regarding everything except the fact that they can fight and use magic (which, in-universe, requires training or otherwordly powers...)_
''The only thing I know for real
There will be blood-shed
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one left
Will ride upon the dragon's back
Because the mountains don't give back what they take
Oh no
There will be blood-shed
It's the only thing I've ever known''
_Parallels the ending of the game (final skirmish atop Grima's back) and Robin's true form/alter ego_
''Losing my identity
Wondering have I gone insane
To find the truth in front of me
I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height
And never realizing why I fight''
_Robin realizing their true purpose (to be both a vessel and a weapon) but continuing on despite it and eventually winning. Can also reflect what happens in the bad ending where the ritual is a success and Grima!Robin is reborn._
*TL,DR: The song more or less accurately follows the plot of Awakening from Robin's perspective, from their true purpose/form to the realization of said purpose and what they ultimately do*
@@joemcgee3082 You forget the "desolate place" referring to the ruined wastelands around Plegia, where Robin was born and raised, and that is his own dark counterpart alluded to in "it's ME that I spite as I stand up and fight, the only thing I know for real", where he resolves to fight Grima seriously, even if it is his dark self.
Man I don't feel like working out today.... Maybe tomarro-
2:34
5 seconds later...
NEVERMIND
after 5 seconds.....
LETS DANCE
0:30 *MEM*-- oh.
Yeah
same
It happens later.
@@bluepikmin6363 yeah, but in the game lyrics start first, there’s only music without lyrics when Sam lost his sword
I'd like to see a version of this where Raiden dies, but Sam takes up his ideals, and takes the fight to Armstrong with the same urge to kill him he did back in DL-01. Like Sam could take him, he would know what to look out for fighting him a second time. I just wanted him to get proper payback for his lost arm man
Or..
Raiden spare Sam and they work together to stop Armstrong.
@@audiocity1979 Armstrong would be so fucked instantly
@@john02222 It would also destroy Armstrong's philosophy of individualism, which would be awesome in itself.

Its horrible to think that we will never see another Metal Gear Rising. This game is so underrated
L E T S D A N C E
that's my line!
Well you ARE a badass
hell yeah boy!
*GOODBYE*
That isn’t a sword!!! It’s a fucking tool!!!
Pretty boy vs Brazilian samurai. 1:17 Uff!!!!
Yeep
Let's Dance!!!
'Sup?
i say sir you and raiden are the best rivals at the gate of the game. you were like the eternal question to who would win samurai or ninja. and you guys sttle it in an old fasion western showdown. no buildings, no cyborgs, no boundaries
Nicholas Slaughter yeah bro!
Show me What you really believe in
Jetstream Sam
so many battle quotes far too many yet so little tool to a swordfight
MGRR has the coolest plot and setting
military Industrial complex on steroids - would be soooo perfect for a MGS V style game
.... a proper MGRR sequel would be perfect too tho lol
I like it, makes it sound like both Raiden and Sam are singing.
something something tool of justice
+〈banned〉 tool ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
MY SWORD IS A TOOL OF JUSTICE
besides, it's not my sword
*takes sam's sword*
(joke about dongers)
this is what happens when you bring a tool to a toolfight
"He barely had any cyborg enchancements..."
-Pretty boy!
-Ngahhh!
-Ahhh!!
-Hurt me more!
-Ahhhh!
-Just getting started!
-Gahhh
-Show me a good time jack!
-Is that it?
It sounds so wrong bro 💀
@@SpiltMySquashIt sounds perfect 💯
Is anyone else interested as to where sam got the scar across his left eye from or is it just me?
I've always assumed it was from the drug cartels he fought in Brazil, but yeah, they never really explain where that came from, do they? I guess I'd be interested in knowing exactly who did that to him as well, then!
"He inherited the sword from his father".... I guess it was a training accident when his father was alive
Personally, I think he lost control of either his wit or smile one time and it backfired on him.
Colgate Sam is too strong, even for Colgate Sam.
***** nanocolgates mate
I always assumed it from his duel with the dude who killed his father.
Rest in peace sam you will always be in my heart.
holy- the long build up then immidiately into vocal, damn this is gave me a goosebump
Just like the boss fight
Sam wears an Exo suit. He needed it to keep up with the new age cyborgs.
Gotta love how Sam whoops Raiden's ass at the beginning of the game, despite having few enhancements and Raiden having just suplexed a Metalgear.
Two enhancements:
Arm holder thins, given he had it stabed by Armstrong
MP3 in his mask
@@Scotty-tl3jj Mask that does nothing but not catching half of your face with dust
8 years later, and this mix is still op af
Pure creative genius. Most motivational hit I workout to heavily. Great one, looking forward to MGR 2 and hopefully a backstory relating to Sam besides his DLC pack.
Still waiting?
F
Kept you waiting huh?
Kept you waiting huh?
I love how you put both vocals, it sounds great
This makes me want to play the dlc all over again :)
Do it, just remember to amp up that difficulty for longer battles.
2:09 leaving for myself
I like how to lyrics singer changes every now and then, almost as if Sam is struggling to find the proper voice to display his emotions. (Of course it's also to make it sound cool since this is several remixes and the original packed together.)
2:12 I am fully convinced that there is no actual music at this point but just my mind playing the vocals for me
Its unhealthy how much I listened to this song.
Holy crap this mix is the best one I've heard D:
Really pumps me up during PvP sessions! Cool job!!!
also known as: Parrying music
Nah, that'd be stains of time.
Cough cough Monsoon cough
@@The_D_ray i learnt to parry with sam tho
I've been looking for a good remix for this song, this one exceeded all my expectations!
I just realized that raiden and robodog is a reference to the story lone wolf and cub.
What made this fight different is it wasn't some super over the top battle, it was two swordsman engaging in a duel to the death like Samurai of old
Whos still blood shedding in 2024 baby 😎
"It yearns to bathe in the blood of your enemies, but you hold it back"
“No.... my sword is a tool of justice”
“Now this is a fight!”
(Pulls sword from the ground, lyrics kick back in)
I guess, this defines perfectly the mindset of the society in Japan.

My Dream fight.
Sam VS Lady Maria.
He'll show her why he's called " Jet stream " Sam. '3'
I cant tell whether Sam will burn in blood or Maria will be outsped.
awesomegmod Raiden with a weaker cyborg body suplexed a MG Ray. Sam was forcing THAT Raiden back with his sheer strength and Pierced THAT Raiden's left eye and sliced his left arm with EASE while still SMIRKING with his classic shit eating grin. He did all that while just CASUALLY testing Raiden's limits. Plus he was still slightly faster and stronger than Raiden even after getting his enhanced Cyborg Body. And the best part is , he's still a fully fledged human with just a power suit and cybernetic right arm ... You can now guess the obvious highway gap between skills strength and speed for yourself.
***** Sam was already massive strong , durable , agile and fast with a huge amount of stamina. He was cutting through 5 - 20 ton robots like the Metal Gears like nothing. As if it was all in a day's work. Sure his HF blade and the power suit he was wearing played a part on that. But his strength and durability played a many times MORE bigger part for him into doing all those feats. The only reason Raiden won was because he was either equal to him , or outclassed him no all those physical attributes by the end.
Only after killing Sam we realized that he was still Human ... A fucking HUMAN did all this shit mate ... I can't even BEGIN to imagine what would've went down , if Sam ever got the nano-machines modifications or Raiden's cyborg upgrades ...
As it stands , Sam's very easily , currently stronger than most of the mainstream Marvel heroes right now.
@NILAY SHARMA Movies obviously, Comics are way too OP. And Sam is like what? Could scale to city? Continental? Multi Continental?
Sam for Sam Rai for Raiden is Samurai = Illuminati confirmed
Or Sam Raimi...? xD
This sound more like a ship
"Rai" is the Japanese word for "lightning", the symbol of Raiden's character ("The rain transformed"). The Japanese word "Raiden" is another name for Raijin, the Japanese god of Thunder (which was also referenced in the "Mortal Kombat" series). Besides Raiden is a ninja, not a samurai. Sorry. Next time make sure you have the facts straight.

"Nice suit, did your boyfreind make that for you" classic quote from Sam Raimi's Spiderman featuring Tobey Maguire.
Congratulations on hitting one million views with this Remix, I'd say it's my favourite remix out of the bunch you've done. Besides the unlisted "It Has to be this Way"
Shit. I just realized this song goes with any adrenaline pound-for-pound matches or fights ...
Imma use this for my DS 3 PvP swordfights now ... cuz that's the only thing i really know for real!.
Savion Hill The underrated Guile's theme for epic fighting moments , that's what this song is in a nutshell. XD
Perfect for when both you and the invader have a +10 Black Blade/Uchigatana and 60 Dexterity.
@@darksoulsismycity been wanting to do that for quite a while now
It’s perfect for Devil May Cry
I love this mix so much! Easily the best version of this song I've heard. I just wish you were still interested in this game, I would've loved to have heard a mix of Monsoon or Sundowner's theme
Thanks! And actually, the re-release of MGRR on Steam has renewed my interest a little bit in this game, so you may see mixes for those at some point in the future. ;)
Excellent!
Whadya know, its been like 6 years and this has over a million. Gratzi!
this mix legit makes me sweat, and it's cold in my place rn, its night, and raining, and my AC is on too
im so glad one of my fav characters from this game has one of the coolest soundtracks
Raiden 🤝 Samuel
Losing an arm
For some reason clicking the like button made the music more intense.
Mountains don't give back what they take
Btw is it just me who wants to fight with a lot more confidence and a more natural flow of movement and attacks in-game after listening to this remix or do we all share the same awesomeness?
Yeah
You re not the only one dude
hell yeah
Try to listen this on 1.25 speed. Sounds like real speed metal
a person told me
"stop using that wooden sword! you might hurt people!"
well guess what?
*who am i kidding? I WAS BORN TO HURT PEOPLE!*
jetstream sam my beloved
Back in 2013 this guy was my Sekiro

If anyone was to make an AMV that includes a fight between rivals, this music piece would fit the bill just right!
Which rivals?

The guitars go so freaking hard in this song, and I love it!
2:08 Lyrics:
>Mind if i cut in...?<
Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken
I've even forgotten my name
I don't know the season or what is the reason
I'm standing here holding my blade
A desolate place (Place)
Without any trace (Trace)
It's only the cold wind I feel
It's me that I spite as I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real
There will be blood
Shed
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one
Left
Will run up on the dragon's back
Because the mountains don't give back what they take
Oh no there will be blood
Shed
It's the only thing I've ever known
Losing my identity
Wondering "Have I gone insane?"
To find the truth in front of me
I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height
And now I'm realizing why I fight
How the singer expresses the lyrics in the chorus is just so cool
I've listened so much to this that I even faintly hear the lyrics in the music solo part, my brain is fuckin tricking me.
i've played this on repeat so much that it's starting to burn onto my screen
There was a point where this was the 1st song I played before EVERY sessions of training. "THERE WILL BE BLOOD-SHED! THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD. THE ONLY ONE LEFT WILL RIDE UP IN THE DRAGON'S BACK"
The drum and guitar in this composition is insane
0:34 that piano got me hype everytime
honestly one of the best mixes i have ever heard
That derpy face in the bottom left corner with the red eyes 😂😂😂
