Lucavi00

I'm really diggin' this. It's up there with Bubbling Adrenaline for sure. I knew I was right when I said that you were going to be an up and comer around here.

Yeah it is a good one but 4/6/9 flow better and would probably be easier to incorporate into mixes with 3 other sources.

I can already foresee that Wily Machine 4,6 and 9 will be the most popular choices.

When I saw the name I laughed pretty hard because I read the thread here. This was one of the songs I liked from the MAGFest DoD, right after Danimal's track. Also post the lyrics for this killer song.

We should all do Clown Man remixes to different wily castle themes. It can be called the Wily's Thunder Carnival Remix Battle (I'm not at MAGFest) 2012.

Well I'm just sitting here at my computer eating a bowl of grits and drinking some milk while watching anime. not a damn thing goin on here my friends.

Dont feel like you have to be apologetic or have to explain yourself to that fool. Just tell him off and be done with it.

I used to be a train like you but then I took an arrow in the caboose.

I should slap the lightning bolts off your head.

Star Man is a very unique sound. I hope you can work some magic with it, haha. You should pick Clown Man instead >.>

My fave RM from MM5 is Gravity Man.

The very reason I left 9 and 10 off the list was for the simple fact that they were made so long after the first 8. They pretty much took what made all the music from the previous games amazing and compiled them into 9 and 10. MM9 would probably be number two on my list if I were to include it. I agree with this and I actually find it to be a bit disappointing at the same time. I was thinking more along the lines of making it an actual competition rule. Not a 'hey I hope you guys pick different robot masters this time around". I just think MM3 has the market on catchy themes for the entire series. I mean, come on, you have Snake Man, Top Man, Shadow Man, Magnet Man and Needle Man all in one place. It's insane. MM6 has a few good themes in it but for the most part I don't really care for it personally. I thought MM8 had some amazing themes. Aqua Man and Sword Man are two of my favorites from that game. Also, listen to the Sega Saturn versions of the MM8 themes. The instruments are so much better than the PSX version. I love Plant Man. That remix of Plant Man's stage on the Mega Man anniversary collection was freakin' awesome and yeah I think you peeps did a good job with reppin' MM6. All in all I think that the series started off kinda slow music and gameplay wise and then the gameplay and music got better going into MM2-4 and then the gameplay kept getting better while the music sorta fell off MM5-6 and then they both picked back up on a newer console that had better capabilities in MM7. Finally they ended it on, what I would say, is a pretty high note with MM8. The style was kinda kiddy but the music was good and it was decently challenging (I'm looking at you Wily Tower 1). Fast forward to 2009 and Capcom hits the nail on the head yet again with MM9. Then a year later in 2010 they keep driving that nail home with MM10. Seems they finally learned from their past Mega Man game experiences.

True dat. I figured since some of the guys I listed had been done so much it was a no brainer to pick them as you have so much to go off of. I actually enjoy the MM7 OST. I find it has a lot of really good songs. Plus it has that hidden throwback to SG&G in Shade Mans stage. I think if I were to arrange the MM 1-8 games in order of best OST to least it would look something like this. MM3 MM2 MM4 MM7 MM8 MM MM5 MM6 People will probably disagree with how high I put 7 and 8 in the list but I honestly believe that 5 and 6 have the weakest music in the entire series.

Yeah I'm listening to the Mega Man 4 complete works OST and it is amazing. I rank MM4 as having one of the best OSTs of all time. Cossack fortress songs 1 and 2 are just ridiculously amazing. On the subject of Tengu man... I like both of his theme versions just about equally though the Saturn version represents Tengu Man a bit better than the upbeat chipper PSX version. I was thinking it would be fun for the next robot master competition that instead of everyone picking the same RMs, everyone picks a robot master that hasn't been picked yet. Like...exclude all the RMs from this competition. That way we'd have a whole bunch of new sounds goin around. I noticed a lot of remixers picked RMs they picked before in previous battles. That is no fun. Go go Clown Man.

I'm listening to some youtube Robot Master remixes and I'm now realizing that there were a lot of good robot masters that weren't chosen. Off the top of my head I can say: Quick Man Bright Man Dive Man Burst Man Cloud Man Tengu Man Each of the ones I listed have amazing themes. The list can literally go on and on but I feel the ones I listed above are some of the ones I'm surprised no one took.

You never know. I mean I could hear your voice in the background in one part of the song and it didn't sound growly but then I noticed to different pitches for the growling in another so I just had to make sure. Edit: Just watched the youtube video. That is intense.

That guy is already an internet celebrity. I need to make a song, get rejected on OCRemix and say goodbye in a thread.

Alright. It is time for Lucavi00's top two songs per round. Round1: Totally Rad Winter by Sir_NutS -I love the genre and style of the music and he works the Wily Castle song with Blizzard Man's song very well. Burn the Castle by AMT -I'm a sucker for guitar and Pirate Man has an awesome level song and design. I'm really glad someone picked one of the more obscure Robot Masters this competition. Round2: Far From Home by AkumajoBelmont -Love the retro style and cheesy as hell lyrics. Cold Man is another great Robot Master and Wily Castle 2-1 is as iconic as they come. It was pretty much a match made in heaven. It doesn't hurt that Belmont had prior experience with a vocal track done to Wily Castle 2-1 in his previous song, For You (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02121/) Shadows of Wily by Amphibious -That guitar again. Shadow Man's song is so smooth in Mega Man 3 and I think it transitions to guitar very well. Amphibious makes the transitions between tracks seem pretty seamless. Song is a bit short for my taste but that is only because hearing it always leaves me wanting more. Round3: Running with Scissors by Nekofrog -Can you all see a trend here? Again...guitar and its fast and heavy. I actually find Cut Man's song to be rather short and annoying in the Mega Man game but here Nekofrog fleshes it out with some killer riffs, a very nice breakdown and some good double bass drumming. Not a huge fan of the Wily Castle 5 source but I can't complain when it that guitar is wailing. Topsy Turvy by Flexstyle -Ah Top Man; One of those songs you either love or hate. I love Top Man's stage and music, it's just so crazy and upbeat. Flexstyle really brought out the big guns in this round because those drums are just kicking ass all over the place; It sounds so good on my 5.1 surround system. The song is rather short but it's oh so sweet. Round4: Liquid Metal by Brandon Strader feat. Rexy -The guitars are awesome and so are the sources. Splash Woman was a very welcome addition to the Mega Man series in my opinion, having both an amazing level and song. The lyrics here are great and I love the growling and screaming even though I'm not a huge fan of that genre. My only question to Brandon is... is that Rexy growling too? Dayquil, Nyquil by Jason Covenant -Really dug the drum work in this piece and the nice use of samples. Very smooth and chill mix that builds up into a piece that has a lot of power behind it. Yamato Man isn't a personal favorite of mine but Jason works it very well into a mix that is easily one of my favorites in this competition. Round5: The Fall by AkumajoBelmont -Belmont: The name is synonymous with ass kicking. AkumajoBelmont returns in Round5 with another vocal mix that just hits all the right spots with me. Cheesy lyrics and a killer beat that screams New Order or Depeche Mode. It's short and sweet and that drum hits hard as hell with my subwoofer. I like it, I like it a lot. Wily's Bubble Bath by TheGuitahHeroe -When I first heard this song I was playing World of Warcraft and I thought to myself: This sounds like something TheGuitahHeroe would do. I look over at my iTunes playlist and sure enough it's him back with another rocking Bubble Man mix (The first amazing one from him being Bubbling Adrenaline from the GRMRB 2011). Bubble Man's song is in my top 5 favorite Robot Master songs of all time for good reason, it's catchy as all hell. Add that to Wily Tower 8-2 and you have a powerhouse electronic mix that rocks my socks. Love those Willrock-esque mini solos you got goin' on. Round6: Red Chamomile by Rexy feat. Brandon Strader -It's Plant Man and Cossack 4-2 with guitar from Brandon Strader and some amazing work from Rexy. Nuff said. Air-Cossacks! by WillRock -I C wut you did thar with the title. Just like above it's Air Man and Cossack 4-2 with that WillRock flair we've all come to know and love. Nuff said. Round7: Totally Tubular Fortress by Sir_NutS -Sir_NutS has this genre in the palm of his hand. Nice sound with a killer drum that hits in all the right spots. Like stated before, Blizzard Man is one of my favorites and I really like Wily Stage 7-4 as well. Sir_NutS really delivers here with a great mix of two great sources. Float by TheGuitahHeroe -Here we are again with GuitahHeroe and Bubble Man. It just seems like the two were destined to meet because TGH can really churn out some great mixes using the Bubble Man source. This song is a little different from the others he's done and that is not a bad thing at all. The piano samples are a nice touch but you can clearly hear that TGH flair that is present in all of his songs. Round8: Cruise Control by Nutritious feat. WillRock -This song is just great. It has a good build up, a powerful delivery and presence coupled with great guitar work. Nutritious and WillRock really stepped up the game in Round9 with this great track. Tomahawk's Final Chapter by Geoffio -I laughed pretty hard hearing this song. The vocals are amazing simply because you can almost hear Christian Bale coaching Geo on how to use the gruff Batman voice from the corner of the room. The song really does sound like a battle with how the two sources go back and forth. Geo did a really good job with this one. It's a bit silly but still delivers. Round9: Mega Breeze by WillRock -Not your usual song from WillRock. He usually has an almost over the top synth explosion but here he takes a different road. The sound is good and he incorporates Air Man and We're the Robots very well. The beginning starts off pretty slow and steady with some Air Man that leads into a build up that works the Wily 9-2 source very well and then the mix slowly drifts into closure with piano that I could fall asleep to. Raging Reptile by Benjamin Briggs -Now this, this is how you work Snake Man. The original source is so amazing by itself that it is very VERY hard to do it justice. Benjamin Briggs hits the nail squarely on the head and just keeps driving it home with this amazing mix. It's upbeat and has that Snake Man charm with a splash of We're the Robots that makes me beg to hear more and more. Great job. I guess that's it.

this is what I think of your post good sir.

Unless it has 800 BPM then it is considered laid back to me. So laid back that it's practically lying down.

I should have said quite a few people instead of everyone.

seems like quite a few people went with a laid back chill atmosphere with the source even though originally its fast paced. I like it. Edited for more a more accurate statement.

YES! Round 9...finally. Thanks Darksworde.

I suppose we wont be getting round 9 songs until tomorrow sometime?

I never said it was a good song...but if someone were to remix it into a good song then I'd have to give you the maddest props that were ever to be given. Ever.
