The Intro Stage [5-N163]

[@CreativeMegamix]

If there’s one thing I absolutely love about this song that nobody even bothers to talk about, it’s that it manages to perfectly capture the melody and tone of every single music style Classic Mega Man has used up until now and flawlessly combines it all into something that feels both new and nostalgic.

[@ShinSHOGO]

It’s strange. This is a fan made track, and yet it’s already gone up there as one of my favorite Rockman tracks I’ve ever heard. Right up there with RM&F’s Opening stage. Ironic that both of them are Opening stage themes...

[@lukebrindax7465]

Yeah this is one of the best MM songs I've heard, and I've listened to every MM song released and put them into a playlist. This is up there with X2 Intro Stage.

[@DrDeez-do9zo]

For some reason Mega Man intro stages always got the best music.

[@undertonesone7378]

Please don’t pull an “Infamous Intent” and get cancelled when everything looks promising. *silently praying*

[@absoluteloser8654]

The Intro Stage isn't real i made it up

[@knightpinshine9285]

Only four RM stages for this one, so at least they understand that less is more for this kind of approach.

[@lordlouie3550]

@Absolute Loser “Wow... your name sure is... accurate... that’s almost the sorta thing I would do... We’d make a great team! Quick! Join my forces, and together, we’ll plunge the world into silly amounts of disorder!”

[@DJFlare84]

Infamous Intent? I'mma need to hear this story.

[@angelo12mx]

well, he made now a trailer finally!

[@LostSoulSilver]

This is legit one of the best songs I've heard in my life

[@shanerpressley]

There is so many sections, the layers of instruments, that iconic original bass, and the radio sfx make it one of the best songs ever

[@DixieChix]

Ngl, this is probably the most unique fan-made Megaman song out there, and even tho it's not specifically accurate to the style, it *definitely* feels Megaman-ish enough to pass; I can actually imagine this easily on a more techno-ish classic MM game soundtrack (think Megaman 8 or 11, tho MM8 was more jazz/lounge than anything for the most part) lmao also, btw, this shit bangs, slaps *AND* bops my dude 🔥🔥🔥

[@baburila]

little did people know that a greatful mind called 40Nix created a mm8 arrange of this music, and it sounds like it was made for it

[@Jane_ForShort]

You do have a point there honestly

[@trupotato]

@@baburila Link?

[@DixieChix]

@@baburila Yeah, I've already seen 40Nix's MM8 cover as well, and I can definitely agree on that haha also damnit YT, at the very least notify me if people comment/like on any of the shit I post LMAO

[@beesbeesbeesbeesbees]

this feels like a true mega man shounen anime theme would somehow, like, i can picture an anime opening to this and it feels amazinf :)

[@TheDragShot]

The chiptune approach in the soundtrack for this game is something most people either love or hate. Personally, I love it on top of everything I've seen in Megaman fangames so far. It's cool chiptunes, it's fresh, and it's not just a rehash of the classic formula. Did I mention I love chiptunes? Yeah, I love this music.

[@Tpcool]

That bass instrument is like one of the best chiptune instruments I've heard lol. And those chords man 👌👌👌

[@lordlouie3550]

Hey! That voice sample is from Summer Carnival ‘92!

[@CyberneticSheep]

Im crying over how awesome this is...

[@Trianull]

If Kirby music can be described as "ear candy," then this is a three course meal. I love how you're breaking from Mega Man tradition a fair amount, it'll make for a unique experience I cannot wait to play, especially since I've now seen the gameplay progress footage.

[@w1ck3dz0d1ac]

This music has a modern feel and is the MegaMan equivalent to the Title Track to Sonic Mania. It sounds like it could fit into a battle network game easily. IntiCreates and Capcom need to just licence fan projects instead of shutting them down. I love the updated sprite for Megaman as well.

[@londonbreksa]

As far as I know I don't think Capcom heavily embraces fangames say like Sega does. But I've never seen them shut down one, atleast for anything Megaman related.

[@osryionblaze8984]

This sprite of Megaman looks like a fusion of MM8 and Mega Man 7, in a way.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

@@londonbreksa Capcom literally used Mega Man X Street Fighter to fill the void of their post-Inafune cancellations, they clearly embrace it. Not as insanely as Sega lately, but enough to market them.

[@campu8748]

The only shutdown Capcom did to my knowledge was the fan Resident evil 2 remake but that was because Capcom were making their remake which was a similar style. The team that made the game was even invited to Capcom's office and shown early builds of Resident evil 7 and Remake 2.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

@@campu8748 Exactly. Now if Nintendo invited the AM2R guy over to MercurySteam's offices, they'd have been a lot better received for doing what they did.

[@dominator_virus427]

I was having a really rough day, and This song genuinely put me in a good mood. This song is just such good vibes dude.

[@lnlmotorola]

It's insane how far we've gotten, from Mega Man Perfect Blue to What a Mario World, it's insane.

Tearing through familiar but new streets. Glad to see they aren't in shambles like they were in Mega Man 7.

[@username_rock]

This for a new Mega Man fangame? Cause if so, I'm hyped already, this sounds amazing!

[@ProboPingas]

I never knew the N163 could smack this hard until I heard this.

[@shanerpressley]

N163 packs a freaking punch alright

[@FunkyHopper888]

5 years and this is *still* one of the best Mega Man songs.

[@division8407]

This is Fear of Dark level of quality, great job! My favorite chiptune to date haha

[@HoodedEdge]

Bangs more and more every single time!!

Can't wait for the next theme from this project. The Final Stage [VRC7]™

GOD DANG IS THIS FFFFFFFFFFFFF-HYUUUUUUUCKING GOOD! I ALWAYS GO BACK TO IT! I replayed the demo 1000 times because it was genuinely fun, but also because the music was so freaking good and made everything just better!!

[@shirley_156]

you have no idea thiel. i discovered this song about a year ago and from that point on this has been one of the only reasons i get up in the morning. this song is inspiring on a level i cant even fathom. this might just be my favorite song ever. thank you for making this song, even if mmpb never gets released. itll always hold a special place in my heart

[@blueshot333]

Imagine if this is how megaman 12 and the rest will be... I would buy those games without cracking at all

[@mortalkonquest2948]

This song perfectly encapsulates what a mega man stage theme SHOULD be

[@yalta5060]

Holy cow

[@8squared007]

It’s been over 2 years and I’m JUST NOW noticing the Recca samples.

How nostalgic is this ! ❤️ Absolutely perfect!

My new favorite intro stage theme.

[@Flumpis3543]

The song really reminds me of weekends when I would just walk to my friend's house early in the morning

[@doyltruddy902]

i am now sad. but there's a tinge of happiness in there.

[@iReima]

I can't explain it but this song really provokes a strong emotional response. It's very nostalgic.

[@depressedcorn37]

Thank you KZbin Recommendations, now I got a new song to loop for days.

[@steiner9226]

Man, I lost count of the times I had this song for breakfast (uhhhh, maybe that joke sounded better in Spanish)

[@MadhatClemens]

This song (and the whole demo to be honest) is like the epitome of 80s aesthetic charm, I don't know what to say; it's everything I didn't know I wanted.

[@PCDSSA]

Woah! What a great theme!!! You're amazing composing this kind of music ... hope to listen more of this in the near future. Keep up your amazing work, you have limitless potential

[@Rukbatll]

Im making a fanfiction adapting Megaman 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, Megaman and Bass, and the gameboy games including the one with the stardroids Its an Alternative Universe, Robots have souls like humans and animals It starts like a story of adventure, in Megaman 7 will get a bit dark (the essence of the X saga will kick a bit) After that Megaman and Bass After the events of Megaman and Bass I will create a new story, the end of the classic era (it will be dark.... and disturbing) The story is: After defeating King Willy uses his secret, Ra Moon, an high evolved computer that has a soul, a Spirit full of malice and hate, a computer that came million of years ago from space It is revealed that Dr Willy used Ra Moon the whole time since before Megaman 1 (That explains how he created too much castles in short time) Ra Moon can creates fortress in very short time due to his Alien technology A robot named Ra Thor go rampage around the world, he destroy the 8 robot masters of Dr Cossack, then the 8 robots from Megaman 6 Megaman and Bass join forces again since Ra Thor "Killed" humans Both Megaman and Bass are in shock, a robot cannot hurt humans because his soul is bound to his programing Ra Moon created copies of past robots: Metal man Wood Man Hard Man Spark Man Skull Man Pharao Man Stone Man Crystal Man After defeating them they fight Ra Thor, but the fight will be the most brutal and hardest of them all... in the end... Willy will release a new Robot created by Ra Moon... that robot will contain all the negative energy from Ra Moon, hate, malice, bloodlust, all that hate will be turn into a virus, the robot name is... Zero but in Willy words its not a robot... its more than that, its a demon, a demon created by him that will destroy everything that breaths and moves After that X saga happens only adapting from X1 to X5 So yes, the Virus Maverick has an Alien origin, its a "virus" full of negative emotions from and ancient civilization that died But even if in the future there is evil and malice... even in that dark future there will be a shinning light that shines with love and compassion, thats the light of the spirit of a robot, and advanced robot called.... X

We keep believing :3

[@DONNIE_DINO]

Sound like a cold and paceful morning,sound like all star over again.... you touch my hearth thx

[@ismtud1364]

besides the beginning it sounds nothing like an intro stage, but theres no debate that this has got to be the best intro stage music for mega man as whole

[@airoe_ltd2108]

Discovering things in reverse. This is awesome. :]

[@CheezItMuncherZack]

And then, mega man perfect blue was born!

[@ProtoAlpha]

How is this ALWAYS better than how I remember it, I could see this as an intro for a new Mega Man show

[@supper_e1823]

Wow I remember when I first found this song a while back before I even knew what a mega man was and loved it! It was what got me into mega man so I’m glad I found this song! Thank you rthiel for making this one! It’s a real banger! :D

[@negrotaku6299]

Aaaay. This sounds great! Lookin forward to the finished game! ;)

I dont know but this soundtrack sounds pretty "buttery smooth" and good mix of megamn's style

I just beat turbo tunnel in battletoads Thiel (Also cool song I guess)

[@inkland3692]

Nice. Very nice, bravo.

I can imagine an intro stage on a bridge at sunset, and if the visuals are as good as that Megaman sprite, I will probably faint from happiness

[@DanielAyy]

Your wish is granted when playing as roll

[@JohnJohnson-yi6jg]

Nice and modern sound, I love it. Reminds me of fearofdark's style

Can't wait to see how the story comes out as, because ROLL IS PLAYABLE AGAIN!!

[@zonebkorosu3201]

my God, this song slaps so freakin hard

[@SKOT_3]

I got this track stuck in my head, I was humming it earlier. That's how good it is.

[@nathsfsongs]

I got here by a random comment on Isabelle's video saying that RRThiel was a music genre now. And now I finally understand :) this is an amazing piece, I really like how it vibes easily. Even the base melody feels just so great on its own. Nice chord progression!

Bruh i never knew you had a youtube, ive been listening to that takyon mix on soundcloud for years

[@StrongandGrand]

I put this up there with Area A (Green Grass Gradation) from Mega Man ZX... which is one of the best MM intro stage songs ever!

[@alesmur4845]

I found this video a couple days after my girlfriend of five years broke up with me, and I soon became obsessed with it. Now it has become my personal post-breakup soundtrack, and I can't help associating this tune with melancholy and resilience.

[@Emerald_Shell]

What if Sunsoft made Mega Man?

[@chriss.249]

I'm liking this Besides corrupted I dont see much love on fan games for my blue boi If I were to put this into words It sounds like Megamans 1st fight, a new type of character we never seen b4 but theres some familiarity to him. It sounds heroic, like mans is coming to the rescue of the city and to stop the robot masters. I personally think megaman needs more city centered levels, with people in them We get that he fights to protect them but in most games we are never around them. We rarely interact with random humans either. I got high Hope's for this!!! And GREAT job!!💪🏾🔥💯
