Galaxy Man
Crystal Snail

Galaxy Man has that classic Mega Man feel. I'm impressed that they managed it with a newer game. Primrose is going for... something, I guess, but it doesn't quite accomplish it. Feels like it's mixing together too many styles.

Transient Silence feels like it goes on forever. I kinda feel like shorter tracks just suit Mega Man better, considering how much of a flop a lot of the long stuff is. Crystal Snail isn't one of my favs from X2, but it has this rhythm to it that makes it feel unpredictable in a good way. Always feel like I hear something new when I listen to it. The guitars have this neat feel to them that's more emotional than usual, like they're screaming in pain or something.

Galaxy Man is very shrill (though not as shrill as Tornado Man), so I need to be in the right mood for it. Primrose is okay I guess.

I like both songs in the second match. Might relisten later.

yeah I can't really gel with b8's music taste so I tend to not participate in these anyway

Seems like remixes will triumph almost every time because it just sounds more adjacent to "real" music and not vg music

Galaxy Man
Crystal Snail

Galaxy Man, Galaxy Man, you always will be a handsome man. Yeah, this song is a hit, I liked it since my first listen. Has a very high shot at winning this entire contest, it's catchy and can carry you through a entire level. I just like it, dude. About Primrose, uh it's fine. There's nothing I find particularly remarkable about it, the instruments are original I guess. I'll just stick with UFO Bro.

Woohoo, band arrange! Very customary of SNES arrange albums. I enjoy the melody, it's very heroic. Solid overall, I can get behind it, good stuff. Woah, this time signature intro! I like the transitions from crystal pad to rock section to crystal pad again. Very simple and inspiring, I'll note this up for future listens. I'll pick the Snail, but it's a close match, any of them is a good winner.

Yes, I'm betraying the song I doubled and forced into the contest. I'm kinda really digging Snail's sound right now... I do wish it were a bit longer, but I think it has my vote tonight anyway.

Galaxy Man
-

Match 1 is close. I've never been as high on Galaxy Man as others - there's quite a few tracks from 9 that I like much better - and I like some of the things Primrose does. But ultimately I just don't think the payoff to all the buildup of the latter is enough to make it a great piece of music.

Don't particularly care for either song in Match 2 so I'll just stay out of the way there.

Primrose
Epilogue-The Transient Silence ~Ending Stage~

Today's the first day where I enjoyed all four songs. Epilogue was insane with that sax.

Epilogue >> Primrose > Galaxy Man > Crystal Snail

Galaxy Man is very friend shaped and I'm glad his music is very catchy. Easily one of the best if the classic themes to me, especially that one part towards the end of the loop.

Primrose has a promising beginning but doesn't quite live up to it in my opinion. Still not bad though.

I like the saxophone. It's pretty feel good. Smooth as fuck. Really does feel like an ending theme even as a rearrangement.

I like how the main melody/build up in the beginning of Crystal Snail sounds "crystal-y". Pretty cool. I actually like this better than the opponent, but Epilogue is still nice. Tbh I almost hope Epilogue wins so I can keep sitting on it more.

Yeah but I don't think they can alter matches where the results have already been put in.

Primrose
Epilogue

God damn, no one told me they snuck Snatcher into this!

I think at this point, it's safe to say that I generally like the overall chiptune sound from Mega Man, I just need that hook that will get me invested in the song. Galaxy Man and Crystal Snail are almost there, but not quite.
