Has it really been 4 years since that last comment? I guess so! cryogenik here once again...and I'm posting to let you all know that at long last, I've started the sequel to this project - Megametal II - and I created a Patreon page that I will be updating and sharing progress videos on as I work through the rest of the project! www.patreon.com/cryogenik. If you liked these remixes, you are going to love Megametal II! Come on over to Patreon and check out what I've been working on!
@Urrcreavesh Yes Please! Some folks have already joined up on Patreon and I'll be releasing a bunch of content this month, including 4 new Megametal II Songs for download!
Hey Everyone, Is there still interest in these remixes? I am cryogenik, the artist that recorded these cover tunes. Hit me up on twitter @cryogenik if you want to hear more like this, I am working on some new projects and may be touring with a band that can play some of these songs live!
lol @ twatter. Only reason I made a twatter account is because it seems like that's what all the youngins are using these days. I suppose I will post back up here when things materialize then. Cheers.
Always knew mega man 2 was one of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Thanks for giving it its due. Does anyone else get chills at the final slow song that rolls the credits? Game or guitar version.
Holy shit! This is tooooo cool! Ive always been interested in transcribing video game music to guitar but I never got close to this level! Megaman has some great tunes.
Ahh...megaman 2...I remember it like it was yesterday...probably because it was XD . I loved this game when I played and beat it emulator style on my computer. This is an amazing video and I love the guitar music.
yeah man ive heard me alot of remixes of this games soundtrack, being one of my favorites from when i was a kid (nigh on 30 years ago now lol) and i gotta say, this is.. EPIC!!! great job!!! and thank you!
This was my favorite game when I was a kid. I always loved the music. This is a good version. And I didn't know you could warp with Item 1 like that!!! I have to go bust out my NES and try that.
There were a lot of tricks done in a MM2 TAS that were incorporated into the latest MM2 speed run. Many of them involve zipping through ceilings too. It is quite impressive.
LOL!!! I thought I was the only one doing the "murder suicides" on the bosses (like at 3:20). This is the first time I've ever seen anyone else do it. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a twisted Megaman Mindset. The Music is VERY EPIC indeed!
was that guy... jumping on top of the blocks the dragon knocked down? That was FREAKING AWESOME!!! I also liked how he set metal gear traps for the walls, and how he fired behind him in flashman's stage. Now i have a request: could you do either a guitar or a Mario Paint remix of the mega man 7 ending theme?
I see... well, that's why I referred to you (didn't know who made it) as "the guitar guy", cause obviously the drums were programmed. I want to see real drums, real everything, recorded in a studio and mastered to sound awesome :D It's just so much you're able to do on your own... But yeah, I'll love to hear your future awesomeness, for sure. Hehehe.
As a speedrunner, I focus rather heavily on sonic and multi-segment or short games. The only Megaman video that I'd ever record would be a revised speedrun of Mega Man: The Power Battles (ARC/PS2) that I would use to 1-up the current SDA run of the same game. I don't have the focus or patience to do a full run of any Megaman game, although I have practiced any and all "tricks of interest" within MM2 and MM5. In those cases, I'm a technical runner, but not consistent enough to record
the only thing i think missed was some kind of connection between the different parts.however,this medly is truly,truly,truly outrageous....holy nice win i mean :333
It would have been cool for you to do the full version of the Mega Man 2 theme, though. You know the one I mean: the one playing when they roll the robot master cast list and the end credits... linking it to the game intro theme would have been even better.
Making the Metal Blade Hover - hold both left and right at the same time (possible on emulator or with a constructed controller Zipping - move into a wall in a way normally impossible or unexpected, and it will try to push you out "backwards", but if you're facing left, you'll "zip" right (and vise-versa) at 16 pixels/frame (which is much faster than megaman could ever move... if it works the right way, it keeps him out of walls, which is what it was designed to do...)
It's tool-assisted, meaning he plays at extremely low speeds and rewinds when he messes up. Basically, it allows for a flawless run - everything done in it is theoretically possible to do, just extraordinarily difficult. Tool assistance removes the 'human error' factor, and, well... you can see the result.
Simply amazing. The glitches, the music, wow. Countless game bands have covered this and it's actually getting kinda tiresome, but this is easily the best cover of MM2 ever. Artist?
On one hand, rock arrangements of Mega Man music seem so obvious that it's a little uninspired. But then I hear how great the arrangements are, and it's really hard to complain. ^^
The going through walls and stuff is a glitch. When he quickly brings up his menu, and comes out of it, Megaman "faint warps" (that was also in the first game). Good way to avoid some bullets and such. Changes his velocity too I think.
