DOUBLE!!=230 (7/10) [Rambly Babbley Prattle Value]: 233 (3/10) [Total]: 21/40 This is a remixed version of the Boss Intro theme: It's a neat effect, taking a familiar song and making it more "evil" for the mandatory Boss Rush level. Still, there are better Wily themes. ================================================== --- g:\>[peacekeeping]/calculation g:\>[solution\extermination] ... Copied to Clipboard!

117.MM7-[Dr. Wily Stage 4] [Elimination Pie %]: 5/10 [Individual Game Ranking]: 8/10 [YouTube Score]: 24 Likes, 0 Dislikes. DOUBLE!!=48 (2/10) [Rambly Babbley Prattle Value]: 482 (5/10) [Total]: 20/40 I'm sure it's just me, but I'm getting a very "Lufia & The Fortress of Doom" vibe from this song. Maybe one of the Battle Themes? Not quite, but there's something about the two tracks... the choice of instruments or something? I don't know, but everytime I start this Wily Stage theme, I immediately have Lufia 1 flashbacks. Also, this is Junk Man's theme again. Wily 3, Wily 4, and Junk Man are all remixes of the same song for some reason. ================================================== {EDIT: YouTube comment on Junk Man's stage: "For some strange reason When I hear this I think of The 2nd Battle Theme from Lufia and The Fortress of Doom. Both songs sound very similar" So someone else does hear it! I linked to the wrong battle theme though, but still, I'm not the only one getting heavy Lufia flashbacks from this. I remember turn-based RPG songs more clearly than other games. The more action packed the game is, the less I'm focusing on music; very slow turn-based games like Lufia are more likely to leave an impression because there's just not much else to pay attention to while grinding for experience points.} --- g:\>[peacekeeping]/calculation g:\>[solution\extermination] ...

DOUBLE!!=2 (1/10) [Rambly Babbley Prattle Value]: 434 (5/10) [Total]: 10/40 That is the saddest double score I've ever had to give. It reminds me of Mega Man Legends 1: Roll says "mission complete" after each battle, but in one of the early boss battles you can let Tron completely destroy the town. Roll gives a less than enthusiastic "Mission...complete?" in response to your failure. That's kinda like this. Good job technically getting that extra point, but...uhh...are you really satisfied with this score? ================================================== {Of course it wound up not being the only "1 Like, 0 Dislikes" video on the list, something I hadn't expected at the time I wrote that.} --- g:\>[peacekeeping]/calculation g:\>[solution\extermination] ...

Also, one person insisting on Boomer Kuwanger. I fail to see it; all four of those songs are a lot better than this one. I suppose I could try to listen to all the songs back-to-back and find similarities, but I do not want to continue listening to this song, so I'm going to not do that. ((Usually I leave songs playing on an endless loop while I do their write-ups, but this is one of the few where I shut it off because I'd rather have silence than listen to the song)) As much as I dislike the song itself, I like everything else about Slash Man: I love that he's a cross between Mega Man 5 (GB)'s Pluto & Wolverine; I love that he's a deforestation robot that was modified to lead an army of robot dinosaurs; I love that the stage is a random Jurassic Park reference; and I love that the original version of the game called out the Slash Claw as being like Strider Hiryu's sword, Cypher. Now if only he could get a decent theme to go with all that... ================================================== --- g:\>[peacekeeping]/calculation g:\>[solution\extermination] ...

Lot of talk about it being the greatest boss theme in the series and the best song in Mega Man 9. I don't get it.

I suppose it's not a bad plan, but it's a rather....tame design choice compared to the insanity of most Robot Masters. I'm sure I'm alone in this, but the song somehow reminds me of snake charmer tunes. Don't know why. I've gotten a bit more attached to Crystal Man as he's wound up as one of my main robots in Se7en's ongoing Games & Things Contest. Fighting alongside a Robot Master for so long has made me kinda appreciate the little guy. ================================================== --- g:\>[peacekeeping]/calculation g:\>[solution\extermination] ...
