Magikarp Festival (Pokkén Tournament) - GaMetal Remix (Flashing Lights Warning) 

Well, here we are: Magikarp Festival It has been 5 long years, many things have happened during all that time, good and bad. My requests were... lacking, to say the least... but it's an art that got perfectioned over time: 5 years of requesting the same song, the Magikarp Festival... For what reason? I don't even recall anymore, if there was one to begin with... but whatever that goal was turned into determination, and that determination into tradition: It did not matter anymore how long would it take, I would do it, because I've been doing it for so long that it would just be wrong to stop... I've been told by Johnny himself that this would never happen... Yet despite that, despite how little popular my comments were in comparison to others, and despite the fact that I didn't have any money to donate, and thus, I had to rely on sheer commitment... I had nothing more than a keyboard and hope in order to reach here. But, my efforts did not go unnoticed... At first, some people saw it, some laughed, some agreed... Then, as this became tradition, so they saw... there was collective hope that, one day, this internet man would get his Magikarp Festival, this one man on his sole campaign he endured lone, but it was not lone, for, even though the request were of my own, there was people rooting alongside me, people who too hoped for the festival to come, and these efforts have not been for naugh. My gratitude to Mr GaMetal himself, for enduring my torment for so long, and for finally giving in... And to the community, for travelling alongside... A man's dream became a reality thanks to the combined efforts of all. The festival has finally arrived to town, and now that we have basked in the dance of the Magikarp, and the last drum is hit... The festival is over... I am finally... *_Free_*

If there’s one thing that Magikarp are known for, it’s their tenacity. They spend their entire lives flopping around feebly and being the butt of everybody’s jokes. But one day, the Magikarp will inevitably be rewarded for its patience and become a Gyarados. So, all things considered, I think it’s very fitting for Mada that after 5 years of requesting this song, they are finally being rewarded for it.

Y’know, between having excellent jumping skills, being able to live in almost any body of water, and now having such epic music, Magikarp is actually quite the talented Pokémon.

LOL I can't believe you collected every comment for the intro. Mada shows us that dreams do come true. Great remix! I remember this song going unnecessarily hard in pokken!

A festival indeed, and Mada was as determined as a fish trying to climb a waterfall. Amazing stuff as always, Jonny!

Mada Faka the legend got what he desired after 5 years and MAN it’s insanely AMAZING!

Huge props to you Jonny for being able to turn a rave song into a really good metal song. This is such a banger. Definitely one of my top songs this year. And congrats Mada Faka, you more than deserve this!

"He is a man of focus, commitment and sheer f***ing will..." Hats off to you, Mada. That was very enjoyable. Short and sweet.

There is only one word that can properly describe this. *LEGENDARY.* I'm going to have this on loop for a _loooong_ time.

Do you think it’s a coincidence that both Mada Faka and Magikarp Festival start with MF

Mada has all of my admiration. I wish I had half the determination they have. Amazing cover too, great way to send off Pokken! Here's hoping this game gets a sequel one day. Here's my typical Aeon's Devil Gundam request. If they could do it then so can I 👀

Props to Mada Faka for leaving comments in several of Jonny’s videos requesting this song for 5 years

OH NO WAY. HE REALLY DID IT. THE ABSOLUTE MAD LAD. *T H E F E S T I V A L A R R I V E D*

The Mad Man has done it. And we shall delight in this sublime trance.

Finally, the theme of the true god of Pokemon. Arecus is but a mere drop in the vast ocean that is the power of Spalsh.

After all these years, someone finally got their wish. We've reached the end of an era folks. Let us all take a moment to remember the struggle

The festival arrives, bringing with it a lot of incredible musicians like Jonny Atma and Bowser Sock Puppet It's really difficult for us musicians to follow through with fan requests as there's so many of them, but this is quite the story to behold. And, of course, excellent cover as always! Really cool to see it finally arrive after all these years.

I'm loving the mileage Jonny is getting out of this Bowser puppet

the bowser puppet is hilarious every time it is on screen

Pokken got way too little appreciation for how good it was. Idk if it was just cuz it was a fighting game or what but I wish it got to be what it truly deserved to be Also, Pikachu was basically Kazuya Mishima and that’s just funny as hell

I never thought this banger would get a cover. It's so good from a glossed over game.

Thank you Mada Faka. You truly live up to your name :)

Now this is the proper way to celebrate the send off of Pokken at the World Championships right here

Mada Faka is a man of commitment, focus, and shear, absolute willpower!

Pokken is such a wonderful game. I hope fan content like this gets Pokémon to bring it back someday.

Jonny, really thanks for doing the 23th song that was in my list of requests! I get that this was made for the user Mada Faka just like most of them, but I'm still very grateful for doing so many great covers that I wanted, including many others that I wanted but never asked. And look, looks like the next one is going to be the 24th song...

The man was dedicated in his goal and finally achieved it. Big ups Mada Faka, the festival has arrived.

If there’s one thing that can be said about any of this, it’s that dedication and persistence pays off. That, and also Magikarp Festival goes SO HARD! Enjoy this, Mada Faka, you’ve earned it!

*monsieur blastoisieur* intesifies

For a "never gonna happen" this _slaps_ so damn hard wow.

LITERALLY THE BEST SONG IN THE GAME. I want you to know, you’ve done us all a glorious favor by remixing this in your unique and amazing style. Day 23 of asking for Egg Emperor…

The Bowser plushes make this so much better lol

So, you came here after Neuvillette video

Been a fan and competitor of the game since the Wii U era. I immediately stopped whatever I was doing to listen to this. And I'm NOT disappointed at all. Thank you! 😊

This is the closest we've got to a modern tekken song remix and gotta say, this is amazing, hope you do more of thoes because honestly, hearing your version of Karma(Electric Fountain), Moonlight Wilderness and Heat Haze Shadow would be awesome

Damn, Mada had some damn determination getting you to do this song XD

A historic moment indeed

I was looking for great remixes of this song for years. Finally I found the best one! Thank you! 😍🥰

THE PLUSH BOWSERS OMG, this is such an amazing cover and video

Greetings from Rawfler

Pokemon is such a timeless series, spanning quite a few genres. I'm surprised it took so long to make a good ol' fighting game, lol. Excellent cover, hits hard, splashes heavily, I love it! Gotta get that request in for Solstice Title Theme(NES)!

Thank you for the flashing light warning! I can turn my phone off to listen without having a seizure!

How do i subscribe multiple times? The bowsers going "HUH" were too amazing for me!

Mada Faka has been waiting for 5 years, and their time has finally come.

The resolve of this man. 5 YEARS of COMMENTS ONLY. I can barely keep a comment request the same whilst only commenting every now and then

Mada persisted for so long... he better be a strong water serpent rn

Love the puppet Bowser parts!! 💜 Gotta give him his own tiny guitar to join in 😎

pokken will forever be tied to some of my fondest memories in a time i otherwise wish to forget. given how much of my memories, and emotion, is tied to music. thank you for this.

Pokken’s got a surprisingly really good soundtrack. Tellur Town’s autumn variant is pure outdoorsy goodness.

Mada Faka is rejoicing

My bro loves this song and your cover is just amazing!

Yes, it's finally here!!! Wooooooo let's go Magikarp Festival fucking slaps every time I hear it

The moment I saw the thumbnail I thought, "There's a dude that's been asking for this song for years in the comments. I'm glad he finally got his wish."

5 Years of endurance, I hope you're happy!

God fucking damn a song about Magikarp has no right to be such a fucking BOP

I have nothing but respect for Mada Faka.

honestly Mada was right this makes a kickass GaMetal

I listened to this jsut as music four times over. Today I watched the video, and saw that the comments were all just one man... Could not stop laughing. This is a great song, and even better now that I know the amazing origin story.

Neuvillete ~

I'm glad Mada Faka persisted in requesting this so much - it turned into a great video.

FINALLY! I have been waiting for this too.

he is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will

Long time competitor of the game. It's amazing that you've created a remix version of Magikarp Festival. Thank you for an awesome rendition of the song and a way to continue to represent Pokken Tournament!

AAAAAAAAAAA THE FESTIVAL HAS ARRIVEDDDD

just played this game for the first time the other day, and it kicks ass, much like this song

Challenger Approaching: That's Simon Belmont. Specifically his _Smash Bros. Ultimate_ appearance.

Mada Faka was anything but a Mada Faka. Also wow this remix is godly.

I will say that this game feels really good with a Gamecube controller and it works surprisingly well.

Yes Mada Faka's determination is definitely something to be admired. But we're forgetting something else here. More Pokken music perhaps? This game has a very underrated ost.

1st Jonny gets a surprise visit from the OG composer of the last cover he did, now he gives Mada their life long dream. GaMetal is going *up* these past few days!!

This was amazing! Perfect timing too as I just got back into playing this game thinking about how cool the game look!

Thanks Rawfler!!! ; )

Let's not pretend Bowser puppet didn't steal the show with his piano solo and vocals

I hope we could see a black and white elite four remix soon.

Been listening to your stuff for years now, enjoyin' all of it. Gonna throw my name in the hat and suggest/hope for Jazz Be Damned from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 perhaps ?

And so he left, having finally achieved victory. See you around Mada.

pokken Tournament was my game to play on the switch, so this remix brings back so much memorys of me using aegislash to take down the final boss of the game. god i loved that game

Congratulations Mada. You were a big inspiration to us all. For my wishlist: God of the Dead (full version, phase 1, 2, and EM)

The chad Mada Faka has finally been rewarded for their patience and we get to bear witness. What a legend. That being said, I'd like to request Savior from Astral Chain. Honestly, any of the three vocal songs from that game would be great (my personal favorite is The Answer), but I'll request Savior since that's the one most people know.

I feel inspired by this. So... Eternal Sonata - Scrap and Build Ourselves, for Chopin and Sakuraba. I shall post this in every Gametal video until we get it.

While Magikarp Festival isn't my personal favorite track from the game, it's pretty cool to see you make a remix of a song from Pokken Tournament, and it sounds really good. Keep up the great work, Jonny!

Pokken Tournament is one of those underrated games that are pretty much, spot on greatness, as it sure respects the Tekken series, it was inspired by from down to the last detail while maintaining Pokémon’s own staples. I sure pray we get a sequel or another fighting game like it. If Mada Faka got his wish by asking for this song remix for 5 years, I’m glad he did! This is another bopping theme that deserves more respect. I hope that my request for Never Turn Back will eventually happen in the future someday. 🙏

A good send off since Pokken Tournament won't be at Pokémon Worlds any longer after this year.

Thanks to mada. May your name and determation be remindered by us all. Jump high, mighty fish. Jump high Thanks to the people fighting in the world championships rn. Your skills are legendary, and just making it there puts your name in the real pokemon hall of fame. Yall will always be inspiration to me. Thanks to nintendo for this amazing song, to gametal for the amazinger remix. Im so happy im by myself this week, cause people would probably be questioning me if they saw me dancing Thank you all. Hope you all are having great days today. Cheers

I may be late but I want to show my appreciation for despite not initially wanting to do it, after finally cracking you took it seriously and made a serious banger. Respect!

We should strive for the kind of dedication mada had when they requested this song for 5 years.

This is sooo awesome!! This reminds me, it would be cool to hear remix ver of Lear's Battle Theme from Pokemon Masters game!

To this day I'm amazed that the music for a Magikarp-themed area goes this hard.

What makes this better is how he posted all the comments from multiple years ago and as he was revving up, the years got shorter and shorter. I like that lol

Even using my main across all pokemon games, Garchomp, in the background. Amazing.

I visited the channel to see if there was any chance Team Star Boss had been done here... and instead found this five years in the making cover. Still absolutely worth the visit.

Oriental music+heavy metal music=this perfection

That... was... LEGENDARY!!! The best Pokken Tournament cover ever made! And hey, a new Castlevania cover is coming! Extra Awesome!

This cover made my goldfish evolve into a Gyarados. Amazing

Didn't think Magikarp Festival could go even harder, but GaMetal makes the impossible possible! Awesome remix!! Please do Diggersby Land as well!

Thats one persistent dude uh.

Truly the end of an era.

THE MEME HAS BEEN REALIZED, RISE UP MAGIKARPS!

I'm still mad this game's competitive scene didn't take off. But luckily we have Mada Faka continuing to spread it's name.

Man... This song and this cover just make me wish Magikarp was playable in Pokken Tournament... and Smash Bros. At least Mada Faka's years of asking finally paid off! 51 days until Wario's 30th anniversary! Requesting Glittertown from Wario Land: Shake It!/Greenhorn Ruins from Wario World, Introducing Wario Deluxe from WarioWare Gold, Wario Shipyard from Mario Kart 7, or Hurry Up! from Wario Land 4!
