For some reason your instrumentation reminds me of Cheetahmen, which may or may not be a good thing.

With all due respect, ADE360, it does appear to me that your ambition exceeds your level of skill for the moment. It's a good thing to make covers (no matter how accurate they may be) & you do have decent knowledge of the tracker, but like I've been saying to others, there's always something to improve on in every song ever created (including my own songs).
Of course, there's nothing wrong with your tune (it's accurate for the most part, note for note,) but it's still missing some potential; my advise would be to start practicing not only with editing your current instruments, but to also learn the different effects that the tracker has to offer (for instance, using Pxx as a replacement of 4xx, using the Axx command for volume fades, using the Vxx command for duty changes instead of the instrument editor, etc.).
And one more thing; for the most part, you'll see Mega Man covers done strictly with the bare 2A03 channels; it's not always a good idea to start using expansion chips, especially in cases where adding more channels can actually do more harm to the music than good. This is a mistake that even I do constantly (i.e.: using all expanded channels to the point of drowning out my lead theme,) so I'd recommend that you only concentrate on the bare minimum, no matter how unique you want your covers to sound.

ie. you expect/know/admit the ftm is bad
Well yes I am not lying but I am not telling the truth either. The ftm is bad but there are some aspects which are good (ie. moderately accurate notation, which is something which seems to be a rarity at current). Also you might want to start using the Vxx function instead of having eight billion instruments. Volume envelopes are your friend too.

Uh, no?
I'll be watching it because if it derails again and/or ADE360 spams it again with 15 posts in a row I'll lock it right away. I've already commented on the FTM itself and said it wasn't that bad.
Tech Emporium: Thanks for your insight.
I've been going back and forth from the FamiTracker Wiki and the Famitracker more and more often for the effect list. I understand that Mega Man styled music tends to focus only on the 2A03 chip, but I wasn't trying to make a Mega Man styled song because it was already a Mega Man song. I'll probably make a shorter internal chip version later on.
KuroBit : That's not my YouTube page, if that was what you were implying. And thank you.
InterrobangPie: I didn't use all of those instruments. I keep them for a convenience, if I use them.
