Been working on this on-and-off for a while; it actually started off as just a BubbleMan remix a month ago lol

As time went on, I added more to it by tackling more tracks, and eventually had about six done in the span of the month, finished the last one on and off over the weekend

I sequenced each track by ear, so it might not be to a T, and some was improvised and rearranged to fit the mix. I have the original OST's, so I was able to try and keep it as true to the original music as possible, though this stuff's 'really' fuckin complicated. The composers for the first three original MegaMan soundtracks were aces

As far as instrumental, I kept it pretty simple to keep the feel of the original, using only square and saw leads along with a synthkick, a couple of snares and hats (but this is really because the V-Station plug-in kills my comp after adding, like, five synths; guess who needs to procure a new computer, down the line lol)

So, the order's like

MegaMan 3 - Stage Select (slightly rearranged and modified to fit the mix)
MegaMan 2 - BubbleMan
MegaMan 2 - AirMan
Megaman 3 - SnakeMan
MegaMan 3 - Dr. Wily's Fortress: Outer Area (Abridged version to fit the mix)
MegaMan 2 - FlashMan
MegaMan 2 - Dr. Wily's Fortress: Outer Area
MegaMan 2 - Password

Tempo's, like, 170bpm, so it sounds hectic in parts. I can also do extended versions of the individual tracks *points up at the list* since the ground structure's still there. Might do more megamixes like this one, it was pretty fun, though took some time

The sounds you used for the melodies (the waves) work well with this medley of Mega Man. The feel of the original is definitely prominent; but, as you mentioned, the original composers did a fantastic job. If it sounds awesome to begin with, what else is there to change? Well, aside from revamping it up to more...modernized version with changed sounds and an improved bass/beat.

My only complaint is that because you used the same sounds throughout the entire thing, it sounds fairly static. Although the transitions from one particular track can be discerned, there is very little in actually giving the confirmation that says "Oh, moving to new melody!" This isn't to contradict my statement that sounds for these melodies work well (because they do); I just feel it could've used a little more power and/or contrast in certain parts.

Otherwise, this is a solid remix which has many nice things flowing with it. Great job!
