Mega Man II - Hardwave

*casually just does 1 channel echo on the triangle like its no big deal*

[@VGM_Oscillo]

You have been an inspiration to me since I was in high school! Awesome to see you making videos like I do!

[@CopShowGuy]

Was not expecting this version of Hard Man

[@Bizabizow]

Love the remix, but as a fan of your content for almost a decade; it's disappointing seeing you use AI images for some of these thumbnails, given how harmful the practice as a whole is to artists. I think it would be a good move to just swap them out with pre-existing fanart (with artists' permission ofc), or commission new pieces in their place.

[@SonicMaster519]

harmful as a practice? in what way?

[@PrGibus]

oaaauggghhhh im so big and round and full aayugugugghhhhhh im gonna burst!!!! fuck!!!!!!!! I shouldnt have eaten so much !!

this is a certified MM2GB moment

[@Averagejoe9937]

This goes hard, man

[@virologiclist25akajoshp82]

We are definitely making it out of the robot master level with this one! Hahaha but no seriously though all jokes aside I promise to God this sounds so freaking awesome imo! You did really great and a phenomenal job, with this one rushjet1 it's honestly and truly surprising how you don't have wayyyyy much more subscribers than you do now. Seriously I genuinely loved this! 💯😎👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@The_Letter_W]

Sick remix! Makes me wanna draw some synthwave flavoured RM fanart :D

[@GTA2SWcity]

Very syntheave-esque. I like it!

[@HpBoost]

Dang, this was a great remix.

[@doctor12doom]

Dear Sir, can you please share this awesome remix in your Bandcamp channel?

[@doctor12doom]

Awesome work as usual

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

HILARIOUS THUMBNAIL, LOL

RushJet1: “Hey look at this cool remix I made” Comment section: “AI bad”

[@doctor12doom]

Dear sir, where can we download/purchase this awesome remix?

[@AdmiralLatias]

its been a long time seeing any new videos rushjet1 Keep up the good work

It's tuff stuff!

Dat triangle “echo”, tho.

[@GrandKaiserBahamut]

badaaaasss

[@conscripthornet4430]

Nobody's gonna say it looks exactly like the Gypsy Avenger from Pacific Rim Uprising? Like it might as well just be an exact copy.

[@ButtaMilkBiscuitsGaming]

Good stuff RushJet!

[@justinmohns8279]

Awesome!

[@hereniho]

great remix bro. seriously appreciate all the effort that went into the music. sucks that half the commenters can't appreciate it. theyve probably never even touched a tracker in their lives lol

[@HarmlessBystander]

When you get to Wave Man is it gonna be Wave Wave?

[@SylverExists]

Pog

[@SPIRE_FAN]

Killer work!

[@rand1313]

we love yoU!

[@gabrieldreemurr]

that Hardman looks like a Transformers character,also what a banger wave (2GB Hardman is a good song,is the pitch it ruins :/)

[@ThatNateGuy]

Was this done in one of the FamiTracker forks?

[@BrokenGamerX]

Amazing Remix! Though as an artist, I hope that thumbnail wasn’t made with AI

[@maligulant4396]

SAME HERE. it's so. eugh. it leaves such a bad taste in my mouth

[@user-wb8iu1hl6i]

It actually looks good cope

[@niclaswa5408]

Oh it has to be AI. I just know it.

[@hereniho]

tell me how it affects your life any

[@SonicMaster519]

How does it affect you?

[@plusah1268]

Comfyui and automatic1111 all the way, screw bing ai

[@myew]

Perhaps instead of complaining about the art and tearing down the effort put into this, could all of the apparently professional artists here offer to compensate the remixer by spending hours of their own time at their own expense to draw custom thumbnails...? Awesome remix as always. 👍

[@dustman2577]

Would you be ok with someone if they spent hours making an amazing piece of art and then the music for the time lapse is just some AI generation which has been fed the music of rushjet and many other composers like him without their permission?

[@mrbackup993]

@@dustman2577 i don't see how this should change rushjet's right to use AI art or not. it's a background image for a music, it doesn't influence anything apart from the video looking a bit less empty, which im okay with

[@hereniho]

​@@dustman2577funny how you never complain about AI music or AI writing, even though those are their own categories of art. you only ever make a fuss about AI drawings.

[@PrGibus]

​@dustman2577 i spoke to the mans he say he dont care 😭

[@sylvania6974]

@@hereniho probably because ai art is the main topic we're discussing right now, and also because it is more popular and more impactful than ai music/writing as of right now, as far as i know. ai music still has people complaining about it. the most popular example being jschlatt, someone who has been used in many ai music covers and decided to do a cover of a song to show that human song covers are superior and that ai covers need to stop. don't think people don't complain about other AI stuff just because AI art is more popular and has more impact on human work. AI writing also has groups of people such as school teachers and actual writers complaining about it, which brings me to my other point: people are mostly gonna care their work and how ai uses it. artists are gonna complain about ai art. singers, producers and composers are gonna complain about ai music. writers are gonna complain about ai writing. the list goes on. and you don't even have to be an artist or something to complain about something like ai art. as for rushjet1's song: yeah, the remix is amazing (hard man MMIIGB is prob my fav song in the entire franchise so that's why i love it so much). it's just a bit sad that rushjet1 decided to use ai art for some reason. at least it doesn't completely ruin the song.

[@ClexYoshi]

I'm really surprised nobody is willing to do art for you for these and you felt the need to turn to AI for it. :(

[@artsyvids2563]

art for this level of detail should be commission for sure though (im not sure you mean willing for free or not)

[@MizunoKetsuban]

The image isn't the focus of these videos anyhow. Kinda just seems like he generated it for the sake of a vibe for the music cover he hand-crafted.

[@suroguner]

@@MizunoKetsuban AI art tends to distract from music.

[@djriqky9581]

​@@surogunerno it doesn't.....who cares if the art is AI....it's not copyright because he's just trying to promote a remix

[@ClexYoshi]

@@artsyvids2563 obviously works like this deserve compensation. My rendering skills as someone who was never formally educated aren't quite up to snuff with the AI trained on millions of pics of synthetic stuff, but I like to think I can draw Mega Man classic stuff decently and put a decent enough spin on things to give it that cyberpunk/vaporwave aesthetic that RJ is going for here, not to mention the really talented artists in the Mega Man Community like Karakato and the like!

[@victorycry8849]

Amazing remix as always, but could have gone without the thumbnail. Not just that its AI, but more so that it reminds me of the shitty Michael Bay Transformers re-designs with how overly-detailed and realistic it looks. God I hope they don't do something like that if they ever make a live-action Mega Man.

[@tommy8112]

Why are you using AI for the thumbnails?

[@ValAllenSamonte]

what's wrong with it?

[@Kladyos]

It's thematically appropriate.

[@hereniho]

​@@Kladyosthey are robots so yea

[@SonicMaster519]

Why does it matter?

hope the thumbnail ain’t AI..

[@SonicMaster519]

It is.

[@masonasaro2118]

good remix, bad thumbnail

[@SonicMaster519]

I was going to get mad at you and attempt to start an argument so that I could try and explain to you that AI art is fine, but I saw you had a Mario Paint profile picture. You win.

[@sylvania6974]

@@SonicMaster519 i have a feeling you would lose that argument, especially in front of an artist, which i don't really consider myself to be.

[@djriqky9581]

People really need to stop sobbing about the art being AI. No one gives a shit about you being insecure about no one paying money for your art. He's not using the art to make money, he's just promoting his remixes without monetary gain so why would he pay money for someone to draw?

[@HyperDefective]

Yeah seriously. It's like half the comments. I understand but also, why not, he could have also just used a black background. At least there's a cool enough looking picture to add to the aesthetic. We are here for the music

[@manjackson2772]

@@HyperDefective I'd rather have had the black background
