FCP3: Mega Man 3 - Proto Man's Theme [MMC5 + VRC6]

My second entry for Famicompo Pico 3, which got in 4th place! Holy shit! Thanks so much to everyone who voted!

[@jakethedragonymaster1235]

The main anime villain gangsta until the hero slowly starts to get back up with this playing

[@drfault1731]

This sounds like a Proto Man intro stage, no doubt.

[@aufishsd1445]

Or intro/title theme.

[@RadiantBlues]

This song fucking rules mega man music

[@kaigarcia6060]

This ver of protomans whistle would be cool for MegaMan V dontcha think ?

[@LyricYT]

I thought it could be more like a boss fight

[@imPinecone]

hey that's what i said

[@dredahalomaster1]

I'm a simple man, I see VRC6, I click like

[@VyxiMainchannel35]

Same UwU

[@anonimato4143]

i see you are a man of culture as well

[@ClexYoshi]

JEEZ, that was NOT how I was expecting it to kick into the main chorus. DAMN! VERY nice use of the VRC6 channels. they can sometimes overbear, but you used them wonderfully for chord progression and harmony while keeping the focus on the MMC5 pulses.

[@isaacbailey3681]

I love this. Not only how the main body is more dynamic than the original, but also, I really like how you chose to end it. It ends as melancholy as it started, feeling slower and softer...which actually works because of the lore: Proto Man is dying. While it's more stable than his original solar reactor, the atomic reactor inside him is still slowly failing. Thus, the song ends in a soft, melancholy manner, almost as if mourning his eventual demise.

[@user-xf8xk6hw9m]

no he starts with a solar core it was just faulty in were it slowly started to hold less and less of a charge and if he used too much energy at once he would receive an overload shocking him. also WRONG!, his atomic core is not stable, if it were damaged or UN-maintained it would fucking explode taking out everyone in a 100 mile radius.

[@Creeperortega]

[@patee1566]

*proto mans core gets damaged* proto man , to villian : *PARRY THIS YOU FILTHY CASUAL* *Le big kaboom*

[@isaacbailey3681]

@@user-xf8xk6hw9m"More stable" Not meaning stable overall, just moreso than the solar core was before at the time it was removed and replaced.

[@SaviourV]

@@patee1566 Didn't he do something like that when it came to his second battle with King, during "Mega Man & Bass" / "Rockman & Forte"?

[@SaviourV]

Here's how I see the beginning of this track. *Blues (Proto Man) has his back to Rock (Mega Man)...* "It's almost my time, brother. Let's have one last battle, before you face Wily and bring his reign of terror to an end, once and for all." *Blues turns to face Rock, charging his Buster as he does...* "No holding back, Rock. Neither will I!" *Then, the battle ensues...*

[@Shifsabre]

And he just jumps and shoots in the exact same pattern as the other three fights

[@SaviourV]

@@Shifsabre We'd like to hope that he gets reprogrammed with better combat algorithms, next time.

[@SaviourV]

@@flamollusk420 Presumably better combat algorithms...🙄

[@noviciernocive7967]

Five year and this remix is a masterpiece of the NES chiptune.

[@DearDeerRyone]

This sounds like it could actually be an action stage! I can see Proto Man now dashing forward and blasting robots.

[@justinmckenzie3318]

"The legedary tale of protoman" should be the name of the song

[@brickblock369]

A Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch map brought me to this remix. Amazing job.

[@Z0ink1nat0r]

Ah yes, and here we see the video that made me fall in love with RRThiel's music all those years ago

[@tenchan634]

Reminds me a lot of the chiptuned rockman remixes. Really high-quality arrangement.

[@Threxx11]

holy shit

[@jacket227]

This is definitely the best Proto Man Theme remix I’ve ever heard! It makes me want to get up and dance! Excellent job on this, and keep up the good work!

[@RealFoxTrotFox]

it sounds so sad. it has the feel of "I may have won the battle, but i have not yet won the war". Nice work

[@eckitronix]

I love this, and the fact that it sounds like a battle theme makes me kinda want to learn how to mod games so I can put stuff like this in, say, Mega Man 3's Break Man fight, or Mega Man 5's Proto Castle, or Mega Man 7's secret Proto Man duel for the Proto Shield. I see so much potential here!!

[@JustAthel]

could see this being title music for a game starring proto man as the protagonist

[@seemo5789]

Mega Man 5 was a thing. eventhoughitwasjustdarkman4disguisedasprotomanbutwhateveritstillcounts

[@TechnoKnight2520]

+[TO] Athel Look at ,,Oh Joes! (Protoman's Adventure)''! Even if it doesn't have This Music, It's still very well.

[@aufishsd1445]

Or maybe you can choose your starting character between the intro and the title, so the title music changes depending on the character.

[@3spoons366]

@@seemo5789 well he said protagonist not antagonist

[@SkippyZii]

Very badass remix

[@DrDeez-do9zo]

I came expecting a simple remix, then got met with the best remix of proto man's theme ive ever heard.

[@someotheryoshi9642]

Why didnt i find you sooner This is h*cking amazing

[@Ihazkirbro]

Others hear it as an ending.... I hear it as a beginning, One my my friends is making another campaign mode for Megaman 8 bit deathmatch, and literally one of the first maps was the protoman arena in stage form, using this song. Get ready for an Encore people....

[@dabluejay]

Yessir

[@SaviourV]

By the way, I came here from ACESpark's recent video on 3rd Sept 2019 (from "Make A Good Mega Man Level 3") where this track came up during a special boss battle. Of course, you know who that special combatant is by now, don't you? **whistles knowingly...**

[@AmericanScholar82]

This remix version sounds much happier, and in my opinion more fitting as part of the ending for Mega Man 3, compared to the original Proto Man Theme. Good Job!

[@tengudwn57]

The swing in the beginning tho, god that’s nice.

[@morgradation]

this. is. beautiful.

[@just-mees]

I always really liked this theme, and this just fucking kicked it into next gear, the power gear, even.

[@gisell6580]

Megaman 3 battle with protoman theme

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

proto man whistle hurts my brain

[@seemo5789]

As much as I love this theme, the actual opening misses the iconic whistle. The rest of it is perfectly fine, but you can't have Proto Man without the whistle. 8/10.

[@drfault1731]

Honestly I never liked the whistle. Even as a kid, I thought it was annoying

[@quadpad_music]

@@drfault1731 Yes, but he still could have made a less annoying version of it.

[@elcuervoescoses3949]

1:58 best part

[@MechanicalRabbits]

I was listening to something else and this played automatically after, and I thought "hmmm this sounds like RRThiel" and low and behold, it was. Most recognizable artist in modern chiptune by far.

[@JiJ1511]

A battle to the bitter end.

[@Magnishen]

Can you make an extended version of this remix? Need it for smash tournaments lol. Godlike remix!!

[@ZahranW]

i would have never thought of doing this, this is incredible!

[@husaynimran8628]

Listening to this makes me think of the part in the manga where Protoman flies into space to take pot shots at the stardroids.

[@meocu5434]

I see VRC6, I click like button.

[@papyrussemi2848]

I mean, you've already gone through several dozen mini-bosses, so it's only fitting they top it off with the coolest one.

[@ozgurfratboz6770]

still the best protoman's theme remix out there

[@MG1.Q4]

This was very well done, why didn’t I find this earlier? Amazing

[@gamerplayer8882]

This is kick ass man.

[@GoldyX]

Bro this remix is just amazing

[@Chree1s]

Imagine if this getting put into Perfect Blue

[@StarBomber_4]

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH AMAZINGG

[@MegaYoteStuff]

made it sound like bohemian rhapsody almost

[@GameFeverOnline]

This is amazing!!

[@GO_GO-YOGO-BLASTER]

The two who disliked this are Dr.Wily and Roll

[@SaviourV]

Naah. Roll, probably not. Forte / Bass, on the other hand, yes.

[@roynabroth2328]

THIS IS SO GOOD

[@dreadfulroses]

do you have an nsf file for this so I can use it in mega man maker?

[@retropixel1272]

Protoman if he finally stepped out of the Bar in Perfect Blue

[@BlackBird7790NWR]

Congrats on your 600th sub. (;

[@maxfox6903]

sounds jazzy, and amazing!

[@mr.leeleeleee7153]

Epicness personified!!!

[@c_machine938]

When I was listening to this, My mind wandered to an epic darkman battle with Protoman (similar to mm8bdm), BUT he gets badly damaged in the battle! It ends in the somber tune, a silent part for him disappearing into thin air, and ending in a somberer segment.

[@c_machine938]

I can't believe I was this cringe once. How the times have changed.

[@misteakable8784]

This would be the title theme of the first game in the Protoman series

[@elcuervoescoses3949]

This should be the credits song from megaman 3

[@rickedwardson5916]

Perfection

[@ROCKMAN1987]

The beat is exciting.

[@setsers1]

I Love It!!😊
