So since everyone else is making a single thread for their FTM's, i decided i should join the trend.
I just finished what I'd consider my first decent Mega Man original... and it's totally not based off of another overdone song. Don't ask me why I did that. I don't know.
So yeah! Critique? What am I doing well, and how can I make the loop better... not totally solid on that.
This is actually not half bad! I felt the original 2 frames were lacking, however, so I added some sort of break-thing in between them that could really be better, but I don't know
I had a long post here, but just know I did various things.
And edited to reattach w/even more edits!
Edited a second time with something which I'm not sure if it's OK to post... but I reworked Shywolf's Wizard Man from the MMLL album for my instrument set... I think it doesn't sound half bad...
The similarity to that overdone theme is pretty clear, but your tune's different enough overall to make it interesting in its own way.

This counts as a cover, so no worries. It's neat to hear this done with a different instrument set and a different person working with FT.
As you can probably tell, the biggest issue with the songs it that they aren't very MM like, though the compositions are good. I tried to improve some of them in the process of covering them. (Wily 1 probably takes the most liberties)
I like this. Mega Man style is pretty well done, but there's some interesting kinda-dissonant chords that make it more interesting to listen to than "that one overdone song."
