Lots of neat edgy sounds in Falling Down. Feels harsh, in a good way. The actual melody is basically nothing though, while Ground Man's melody is fabulous.

Air Man remix is fine. I used the playlist, and unlike the previous two songs I didn't even notice its existence. Metal Man, however, made me start whistling the instant it began. What a fantastic tune. There are remixes I like better, but the base melody is sublime on its own.

I wish Falling Down was the original (that's a 9.5) but I don't dislike the arrangement. Maybe we can get the original into next VGMC? Now Chiptuned Rockman, those are arrangements I can get down with. Groundman is probably my favorite from the album. It takes an already solid melody and enhances it.

Will I vote for a Smash remix in this contest? I don't know, but that day will not be today. Metal Man is one of my favorites from Mega Man 2.

Falling Down
Air Man

Oh, one painful corner we have here. Let's see...

Falling Down is such a enormously epic melody, I just can't wrong with it. This version is pretty kick ass and the guitars are straight and on point. Beautiful! Ground Man... hmm, I mean it's good, but I don't think I like it as much as the 16-bit originals. Nothing that really calls my attention. But it's still a good melody so points for that. Maybe I'll like it more if it passes this round.

Air Man's remix caught my attention very rapidly when playing Smash 4. Very humble energy to it, plenty of variety on the instruments and I also really enjoy the occasional solos! Hard to dislike really, it's just very solid and well made. On the other hand, Metal Man is a very iconic song and always solid. Not much to say, I won't mind if it ends winning it all.

The Air Man Smash remix is so much worse than the original that it's hard for me to believe it made this bracket.

Today is probably the highest quality day so far (even though I technically only liked two of the songs today, but that's still better than previous days).

Ground Man Stage >> Air Man Stage >>>>> Falling Down >> Metal Man Stage

I don't really know how to talk about guitar heavy songs often. Like it's loud, the kind of stuff that gets you pumped. This is some intense ass shit, that's for sure. When the main melody changes and kind of "screams" for attention, I really dig it.

I love the wailing intro at the beginning of this. Like a hero gearing up before one final fight. It's just a small part of the song, but it really highlights the experience for me despite being such a small portion of the track.

This Air Man remix has a strong start before the familiar melody kicks. I like the non guitar portions better than the guitar, personally. The crazy keyboard(?) solo fucking rips, man.

Metal Man is another classic. It manages the feat of feeling longer than it actually is. But not in a way that drags on!

i really love falling down generally but i think it does need a bit more to it, whereas ground man is AMAZING as it is, i LOVE mm&b. originally thought i preferred the og mm&b snes ver but i am growing to love this version much more
metal man is a fun song but its not like the BEST, just kinda nice for a short listen. this air man remix is SO much better than i remember it being though lmaoo

Kudos to the Ground Man remix for taking the harshest instrument out of the original melody for me and making it part of the background noise almost as an afterthought.

Really like both in Match 1, but Ground Man is too funky. I dig it!
I think this Air Man remix is... fine. I don't hate it, but it's far less memorable than it should be. Metal is neat.
