Oh my, something that isn't Megaman related.

Anyways, here we have this song that's been in all three games so far. I like it, and I think it worked out pretty well. Lots of harmony and such. I think I may have kinda not done some of the volumes so well, though... If anyone has any ideas for how to make it better, feel free to share!

Also, I'm not sure if the name of the song is actually Familiar Foe or not, but I seem to recall having read that at some time, so I'm sticking with it.

That's the Battle against Saturos theme. I've never played the game, but I'm familiar with this tune because a friend of mine also did a VRC6 cover of the same tune. That and I like Sakuraba's stuff very much. :)

I didn't like the P82 on Square 3 much, if I'm honest. But that's my only problem with is. Overall, very well done! :)

Sounds badass. Not familiar with the original at all, but it reminds me of Sakuraba's work.

Edit: I'm retarded. It IS Sakuraba's work. Yay for knowing how to read.

Now now Rajin, you're not retarded; you're just special.

In all honesty, this is one of the best pieces I have seen on this site in a while. There are minor problems, but none that have stood out at all. You took a song that I enjoyed, and made it even better in my eyes. I have nothing else to say but - thank you.

Amazing work my friend, keep it up!

Dude, if there's stuff that could be improved, don't hold back. I'm still learning various techniques on how to handle Famitracker, and while I feel I learn more with each new song I do, I know for a fact I still can learn so much more, and I'm always open to advice and such.

As for those P82's... I've actually changed them to P81 in my version, and it seems to sound a bit better. Still less note clashing, but it's less obvious that it's been tuned.

Love Saturos Battle! This is awesome, great work. The quality of the instruments are really nice. I can never make varied instruments so this is very refreshing. Once again, wonderful.

Haha, I love this song. A tip: the -1 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 (repeat) arpeggio you have on instrument 08 could just be replaced with | -1 0 0 0 0 0; the | is used to loop envelopes in Famitracker. This also goes for volume, pitch and pulse width envelopes, of course.

Other than that, really well done! I think I did like 5 covers of this track, but none quite as good.
