Whenever I have the Megaman selection scene on the mind, I imagine if in a Batman game you get to choose your villian fight stages anyway you want before the final stage.
I'm listening to this song as I work on my own 8-bit Megaman clone(Guncross), and it's bringing back childhood memories... :D.
On another note, Megaman 1 has a soundtrack that's quite unique to the series...I have yet to find another soundtrack like it in any other game.It's simple, yet it instantly burns it's self into your memory and has referances to various 70's and 80's rock songs.
They share the first chord, and they're both descending patterns; meaning, they do sound the same, to a fool. The Elec man chord progression is emotionally deeper than Perry's. When you make this comparison you dishonor Manami Matsumae and Yoshihiro Sakaguchi, so cut it out.
... this music... such power... the musics beggining resemblance to the beggining of Faithfully by the Journery... is... *gasp* its... OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!! but... what is this... it appears to be sped up... oh well.
Everyone is making comparisons to Journey, R.E.M., and Bon Jovi, but no one has seemed to notice that the very beginning sounds like Daft Punk's Cresendolls. It also reminds me of Da Funk. You think Daft Punk are Megaman fans?
@partyhatpker: That's not the point. The point is no one seemed to notice the similarity between this and the drum intro of Crescendolls. Seriously, look it up.
This has always sounded like a super hero song to me. I guess that since I was playing one of the greatest super heroes of our day, the song just fit the occasion:)
I swear to god, this sounds exactly the same as Faithfully by Journey, when I first heard Faithfully, I didn't know to either cry or laugh, because it sounds exactly like Elec Man's theme. XD
@TehLonelyGamer Better question: which came first, "Faithfully" by Journey, "All the Right Friends" by R.E.M., "She Don't Know Me" by Bon Jovi, or Elec Man's theme?
The first is my favorite of the Mega Man games. I'm not sure why. Out of the 8-bit games (8-bit FTW) 2 and 9 share a close 2nd place, I didn't really like 3 much, and I haven't played 4, 5, and 6 enough to find out if I like them.
Well the name Rockman comes from the music genre, so maybe it's like overloading an amp like in the beginning of Back to the Future? Haha, that's all I can think of.
I think this song is probably the most megaman-like in the entire series, if that makes any sense. It's the kinda sound that you'd never hear in any other video game series except megaman
Elecman is not only the most powerful robot master of Megaman 1 in my opinion. I would say that he's the most powerful robot master in all Megaman games for Nes. It's barely possible to beat him without Cutman's weapon. My favourite robot master ever.
I bet Avril Lavigne bought the rights from this too, listen to "Stop Standing There" lol

For anyone who knows anything about music:
Faithfully chords: B, Gm#, F#, E
Elec Man chords: B, Fm#, Cm#, Em, F#
They share the first chord, and they're both descending patterns; meaning, they do sound the same, to a fool. The Elec man chord progression is emotionally deeper than Perry's. When you make this comparison you dishonor Manami Matsumae and Yoshihiro Sakaguchi, so cut it out.
