After several months of work, I've completed my VRC6 chiptune cover trilogy of the first 3 Mega Man games with Mega Man 2, this time at 60FPS thanks to YouTube updating their site recently:

The album on Bandcamp is set to "Pay what you want," which means it's free unless you want to pay me.

I'm a huge fan of your MM1 and MM3 VRC6 remakes and I'm thrilled to listen to this one!

I figured the FTM would be here.

I was skeptical at first, I felt that MM3 had a superior soundtrack and that there wouldn't be much you could do here...

but i've listened up to Crash Man on the bandcamp page and am loving what i've heard so far. Great work!

'Get Weapon' made me crack up hard.

Wily 4 is probably my favourite of the bunch; I love it when you just take a theme and run with it. Also your Flash Man and Quick Man covers are amazing.

For the MM2 soundtrack...

- Generally, I like the added variations for the boss themes and Wily stages.
- Wily 2's intro sounded a bit weird, but once the bass kicks in, it more than made up for it (though you seem to have a stray note at 1:03...).
- Really liking the sound of Wily 4 and 5 (Wily 3-5 is my least favorite Wily stage theme ever). Wily 5 should be playing throughout the whole stage, Robot Master rematches included.
- And I have no idea why Crash Man's stage music ever got something so ... ridiculously [i]happy[/i].

Now, where's the MM3 soundtrack again? That's got my favorite Wily boss music ever.

These remixes and variations on the original themes are genius

Yes, thank you so much for the FTM! Now I can finally study this magic in-depth!
I truly can't do these remakes justice. It's just so dang good... I mean, come on, those echoes on Metal Man's theme! Unreal! And the choir in Quick Man? A true technical acheivement! Holy crap, even the second Wily song sounds EPIC!
It might seem cheesy that I'm using exclamation points, but I just can't put into words how great this is. Truly stellar, rushjet1. Like a fine dessert after a big meal. You feel like you want more, but in the end, you're really satisfied with how good what you recieved is, so if you had any more, you'd probably explode with awesomeness.

I think I've made my point.

Hey it's graypesoda!! Just a couple things i wanted to point out. First of all, this soundtrack is absolutely amazing in terms of technicality and how catchy the remixed themes are. I sure couldnt do have of the effects you pulled off . But there are several things that did stick out to me that i thought needed pointed out. As a whole, the soundtrack's dynamics are not very... well dynamic :P. The bassline and accompaniment should be quieter than the main melody. This makes the main melody sort of POP. But when it's all the same volume it sorta sounds like :LJDSK:J:AJ:LFKJD:LFKJDL SO MUCH AWESOMENESS ALL AT ONCE MY EAR CANT HANDLE IT. And that's where dynamics come in, for you to be able to pick out each part. I included an example of metalman's theme i did showing this (song #29). Also, some of the S00 effects make it sound a little choppy in some parts. Adding a release instead of this will make the music flow much more naturally and be more appealing to the listener. But all in all, i'll admit this is way better than anything i couldve done; the technical aspects are top notch and the music itself is great. Just fix those couple things and your soundtrack will be just about perfect

oops also forgot to mention. In that metalman example, i fixed some very nitpicky things in crashman's track for you . Leave it if you like it, if not just scrap it :D. It's just some chord things

the album is mixed off-FTM - listen to the bandcamp version which is in stereo and how rushjet1 meant it to be heard.
