Armored Armadillo (Mega Man X) - GaMetal Remix

Finally, a full GaMetal Mega Man X song: Armored Armadillo!
◆ "Mega Rockman" Shirt by Draculabyte draculabyte.com/products/mega...
◆ Gameplay by MarioManiac (Thank you!)
Do you know the last time I did a song from Mega Man X?
It was 5 years ago, and that was just a brief feature of Boomer Kuwanger in the second Mega Man Mega Medley.
Before that, there was the 2014 Mega Man Maverick Medley.
And then that's it. We've technically never had a full Mega Man X arrangement here on this channel. What's wrong with me? How could I so greatly disrespect one of the SNES's greatest soundtracks?
Well, no more! Here's one of my personal favorite MMX songs, and a song that had a lot of requests for a full version from the May Madness ballots: Armored Armadillo!

Right on both counts!

[@aliesterus1.023]

@@io9671 I don't think I can argue with that for the most part.

[@METPoland]

I like that the mix is still clean and legible despite the intensity and number of elements in the arrangement. The best version I've ever heard.

[@spicymeatballs2thespicening]

That's saying a lot, coming from you 😁 Although I gotta say my personal favorite is familyjules' version of this from his X1 medley, has a lot more energy and power imo, albeit at the cost of some cleanliness

[@Gakusangi]

Probably the most bouncy and energetic track in the game.

[@nicodalusong149]

To go with how bouncy the terrain on that stage was.

[@VolatileViolet]

And the bouncy boss himself.

[@CaptainCoolzCT-]

I think that Sting Chameleon is a more bouncy track, this one is definitely the most energetic though.

[@spicymeatballs2thespicening]

What does a "bouncy" track exactly sound like

[@Gakusangi]

@@spicymeatballs2thespicening It doesn't exactly rock, doesn't exactly shred, or thrash, the tone isn't heavy, and beat keeps a fast pace. Bouncy, like a rubber ball, it keeps popping around and keeps you entertained and excited.
