Woohoo, about time I did one of these kinds of videos in a while!

I love this theme, so why not do a SNES remix of it? I purely used samples from Mega Man X2, but I will say that I came REALLY CLOSE to using a sample from Mega Man & Bass or two. I kept it all X2 for this one, but yeah. I didn't go out of my way to make it sound X2-wise in composition, but I did want to make use of its samples for the time being. Hopefully, I can thrive to achieve something between the original and results like @JXChip does in his MMX-series covers. The motive to do this cover also came form listening to the remixes of this theme from @TheLegendofRenegade, @ZeroShock, and @Joshirostar.

The SNES remix was done in Logic Pro, much like how I did Crystal Man's theme in MM7. This is actually my first time using chipcrusher AND Chipsynth SFC, two of which are VSTs I purchased during Black Friday 2023. And honestly, I really do love them for what they are. The only problem I have with chipcrusher is how it handles brickwall limiting, so I did some limiter and gain tricks to take care of the issue. As a result, I think the cover should be free of scratchiness/clipping/what-have-you.

The MIDI is from svcino and is on VGMusic, but I can't put a link right now, because the page of newly submitted files is rough, so I need to wait for the site to offer comment section pages before I link it.
