I had the pleasure to compose this one alongside my friend and long-time collaborator Husky By The Geek! As it is now a recurring theme of my collaborations with him, writing this track was a bigger challenge than any other piece of music we worked on together in the past. For Zero's music in this game, we set ourselves the goal of weaving a tapestry of themes from Mega Man Zero that haven't been featured often in the MvC series before, while at the same time making them fit with the high-speed fighting style that Zero has in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite & Beyond. This took weeks of work and research, but it was worth it. We hope it'll bring back beautiful memories of the Mega Man Zero series to your mind, and at the same time lead you to hype & victory when you use Zero in MVCIB!
Dude, I'm not a Zero or Mega Man fan and this just makes me want to jam like it's 20XX. You did amazing!! Did you also do the Strider theme? If so, any plans to upload that one soon?
@@ajg_711 Cheers!! Yes, I did Strider and Captain Marvel's themes, will upload them these days for sure. I hope Little V will also upload the themes he wrote for the game as well. Some of them are my absolute favorite tracks in MVCIB!
@@AlexMoukalaMusic wait wait wait they got you, Husky,, and V?! Holy crow! I dont even play fitemans and I might have to pick this up just for the soundtrack apparently.
So we got: Original X1 theme Departure Area Zero MF'in CANNONBALL And there's at least one more I can't put my finger on. Absolute ear candy. Round of applause for Alex Moukala and Husky. You guys knocked it out of the park. Zero fans rise up!
I think some of the ending theme of MMZ2 is in there. The sort of end credits theme of Departure? I will have to listen to this over again with headphones to tell.
Husky: "We need to make a killer jam for Zero in this fighting game. What do we do?" Alex: "Take all of his best themes, hit blend, then drop Cannonball when they least expect it." Husky: "You son of a glitch, im in."
"I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"
That little rift from 0:40-0:49 feels oddly unique to Zero. Considering the amount of times Zero's been broken and destroyed and lost his memories in the series, this feels like the musical embodiment of those moments. May just be a stylistic choice but it feels incredibly fitting for Zero. Absolutely love it. Can't wait to dig my teeth into MvCIB soon!
God, what an electrifying mix. This feels like it'd fit right alongside the new compositions and arrangements made for the Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. Great job, you two.
It's incredible how diverse your tracks have been, yet it's immediately clear it's your work! Crazy that Husky was also part of this, that guitar tuned to XIV sounded familiar.
This is awesome. It’s not just a remix of zero’s theme like the hundreds there are on the internet, it’s an arrangement that sounds exactly like something capcom would produce themselves for a MvC game. Very well done making it sound official! (I also notice every song in the medley)
Sick to see you're helping with this project! I'm a decade-long Project M player and seeing another mod that follows a parallel path gets me excited. Possibly enough to give MvC more than a cursory shot
Ah, yeah, classic Vs. Zero theme, just a really cool remi- *Drops Cannonball on me *Spit take WHAT THE HELL!?!?! I WASN'T EVEN DRINKING ANYTHING BEFORE THIS!!! WHERE DID THIS CUP COME FROM!!! WHO CARES THIS RULES!!!
Fantastic, even surprising with so much electronic punches!! And of course can't have Mega Man without some shredding \m/ wonderfully done both of you!
I'm not a fan of this music genre but I REALLY appreciate how many references you managed to fit into just this one track, a bunch of these are also my favorites from the Zero saga...
Alex Moukala making this insane BOP of a remix for my GOAT? My literal favorite character of all time??? This truly was a holiday miracle 🙏 Incredible job mixing in so many of his related themes from the Zero series in here. Even adding in Cannonball ompfff!
This is so sick! I recognize at least 3 themes from the Zero series. Departure is my favorite track from the entire Mega Man franchise so i love that its mixed in there
A fun trivia: originally, the climax of the track had Zero’s X2 theme in it. I worked on that version for several days, but then I decided to switch things up and go for Zero’s X3 theme, given the fact that the X2 theme already appeared a bunch in the MvC series and the X3 never did. And it worked! However, after a few days I chose to go for Departure and Cannonball’s melodies
This is such an infinitely better theme then the one from Infinite. Show cases the entire legacy of Zero from the Original theme to Mega Man Zero with Departure and CANNONBALL! This mod was made with LOVE
This sounds radical!! Such a cool and smart way to include multiple songs like Zero's X1 theme and Departure and transition them so smoothly into each other!
Hearing this got me so emotional (in a good way), it feels like a medley of the journey Zero's been through-the whole thing is so hype but the cannonball part especially GOD!!! 😭 This is SO good man
Ive been a fan of your music for a long time but im also very impressed how youve managed to pull together some good ass fighting game music. That is not as simple to land well and how difficult it can be is often really overlooked. Good shit
I FUKIN KNEW ITT!!!!!! i called it, i knew husky would do mega man x and of course it had to be my boy Zero, sooooo hyped!!! you two are my absolute fav modern musicians!!!
Jesus what an absolute masterpiece of a theme this is, so much taken from his Mega Man Zero games, like this has to be the perfect evolution of his theme from MVC3
I love to see/hear this! I've been following your channel for years, and It's cool to see you being involved in more and more projects like this. Big respects to you! I hope you get to write music for the up and coming FF games!
Something really powerful bout his MMX version having all MMZ themes. He doesn't know the journey he's going through yet and he's looking strong as hell 😤
Thank you SO SO much for all of the themes from the Zero games I adore that interpretation of him above all else and I am ecstatic to finally see it in MvC!!! When I realised it was Departure I died
I went back to listen to the mvc3 theme and although that one is amazing in its own right i genuinely like this one better. There’s just so much interesting stuff going on in this track. You guys did an amazing job on this one
I’ve always lived Husky’s Mega Man Zero and X Covers, so this is a match made in Heaven for me. I love all the musical references to the series in the song!
Thank you so much for having me on this project my friend !
We put all our passion in this theme. Time to beat some mavericks now !
you sick futher muckers, thanks for doing what you both do.

Amazing work to all of you!!
It is very noticeable when a project is done with passion.
Indeed
Tell the AI thumpers that, wouldn’t know a passion project if they heard it
The smile I had on my face when the "Departure" and "Cannonball" bits kicked in. GOD, I love this blonde red robot bastard so much.
Not just Cannonball and Depature but also his MMZ1 theme and Freesia, this is a great mix
So we got:
Original X1 theme
Departure
Area Zero
MF'in CANNONBALL
And there's at least one more I can't put my finger on. Absolute ear candy. Round of applause for Alex Moukala and Husky. You guys knocked it out of the park. Zero fans rise up!
I guess Theme of zero from mmz1 would fit more instead of X1
@@masufame considering that zero's theme in zero 1 WAS the X1 theme (as a bit of a musical link to the X series and Zero's first game)... yeah
I think some of the ending theme of MMZ2 is in there. The sort of end credits theme of Departure? I will have to listen to this over again with headphones to tell.
@@MirbyStudios uh yes that's what I meant. But since this is a mmz medley , theme of zero would be more fitting
Zero fans aren't rising up. We're ASCENDING!!!!
Husky: "We need to make a killer jam for Zero in this fighting game. What do we do?"
Alex: "Take all of his best themes, hit blend, then drop Cannonball when they least expect it."
Husky: "You son of a glitch, im in."
We're breaking into Neo Arcadia with this one!
We found what we're fighting for with this one!
LOVE that you fitted in Cannonball into the remix. Very cool.
LOVE that the Zero series has representation in this theme and not just the X series. The Departure and Cannonball bits are especially cool
"I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"
Where is that quote sourced from?
Megaman Zero 4.
@@GeneralDisarray666, right.
I wish I knew the expression Max had when you and Husky presented this remix to him. I bet he almost dislocated his jaw.

Absolutely love it. Can't wait to dig my teeth into MvCIB soon!
It's like it's repeat "AND THEN AGAIN" every single time..
I was super stoked when I heard Max got you on board, and you absolutely crushed it. What a perfectly fitting song for a fighting game
As an avid Megaman X and Zero fan, I couldn’t imagine this being any better. I’m deeply moved by this.
You absolutely understood the assignment. This is the best Zero theme I've heard in a Vs game. By far.
God, what an electrifying mix. This feels like it'd fit right alongside the new compositions and arrangements made for the Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. Great job, you two.
Hearing Departure just... hits different man, the Zero series soundtrack is just built different.

MAN THIS THEME IS PURE FIRE THANK YOU FOR GIVING LOVE TO THE ZERO SERIES FOR GBA
I'm not a fan of this music genre but I REALLY appreciate how many references you managed to fit into just this one track, a bunch of these are also my favorites from the Zero saga...
This theme alone makes me want Capcom to make a new Megaman X series with you as a composer in it.

This truly was a holiday miracle 🙏
Incredible job mixing in so many of his related themes from the Zero series in here. Even adding in Cannonball ompfff!
OMG OMEGA'S THEME 😭
Yeeeeessss! Thank you much my man. Now I have something to listen to while I work my 12 hrs shift at Amazon ❤🎉🎉
Good news! After listening to this, you'll only have 11 hours 56 minutes and 36 seconds left of your shift :)
@@whytho4781You don't have this on repeat? lmao
That Cannonball hits like an actual fucking cannonball hell yea
This is so sick! I recognize at least 3 themes from the Zero series. Departure is my favorite track from the entire Mega Man franchise so i love that its mixed in there
Bruh... this theme is awesome. It really fits the vibe of MvCI&B, but includes all of Zero's best songs.
this is so incredible. only sad that you didn't include zero's x2 theme. which is my favorite by far.
A fun trivia: originally, the climax of the track had Zero’s X2 theme in it.

@@AlexMoukalaMusic thanks for the awesome trivia!
@AlexMoukalaMusic thank you for adding X3's theme in there 🙏 always wanted it to hear when I played as him!
Alright my friend, you COOKED with this theme! Fantastic job!
The arrangement AND the mix is absolute masterclass! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
1:19 I couldn't help but say "Ware Wa Messiah Nari! Ha Ha Ha!" When this part pops up
This sounds transcendent once the battle heats up and things start going! Can’t express how truly good this is!
Alex AND Husky???? Based on MMZ????? Am I in heaven rn?????
Thanks!
BEST TIMELIIIIIINE! Thank you for your work Alex! Incredible as always!
1:13 When Departure started playing 😭
This is such an infinitely better theme then the one from Infinite. Show cases the entire legacy of Zero from the Original theme to Mega Man Zero with Departure and CANNONBALL!

This sounds radical!! Such a cool and smart way to include multiple songs like Zero's X1 theme and Departure and transition them so smoothly into each other!
This is a love letter to Zero and I am 100% all for it. It's incredible and hearing Cannonball brought back some PRIME memories.
Brilliant job you guys, totally smashed it! 🤘
i dont know nothing about mvc, all I know is that zero is the goat and this theme perfectly potrays that. like.
The absolute beast
This is FIRE
Hearing this got me so emotional (in a good way), it feels like a medley of the journey Zero's been through-the whole thing is so hype but the cannonball part especially GOD!!! 😭 This is SO good man

Well done man.
Inspiring stuff.

Wow, that was you who wrote this (together with Huskybythegeek)? Well, you knocked out of the park and straight to the moon!

That's a great revamp! Good job on that!
This nearly brought a tear to my eye. Great job!👍
This sounds incredible!! Fantastic work.
So that's what you've been doing. Great stuff mate!
Thanks, Alex and Husky!
Thank you & Husky By The Geek for the great MMZ representation in the song, easily some of my favorite Mega Man themes ever.
This theme is so good man, I want it on SoundCloud yesterday.
Completely and utterly badass.
Hearing some MMZ ost mixed in there is incredible.
Good job lads!
Zero fans rejoice!
I can't stress how obsessed I am with that Cannonball part. This whole theme is masterful work, great job Alex and Husky 🙏
i love x3 zero theme
Thank you for your awesome work on the MOD OST. Absolute banger TRACK! More power!
That intro is 🔥 holy crap!
Awesome. Everyone that has worked on this project is doing an amazing job!
Your sound is professional.
It motivates me to go to school just for this.
Absolutely love that there's music from the Megaman Zero series here, excellent work!
WELL HELL, I NEEDED A SONG TO LOOP FOR THE SEROTONIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

you got me tearing up with a big ass smile on my face
absolutely astounding
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER!!!! Amazing rendition of his theme!!!
Wow. So many of his themes on this. Love the departure addition 🔥
I’ve never clicked on a notification as fast as for this one! Let’s go!
Nostalgia is a bitch.
I am 28 years old already and I cried with how this song started, it is too good.
Amazing job, you two! MMX and Zero were just as influential on my music taste growing up as Final Fantasy!
Absolutely amazing. I’m becoming obsessed with this
i fr wanna thank you for this this means the world to my little brain
This is easily one of my favorite themes for Zero in… well, anything. Fantastic work!
yooo producing game music now? lets go Alex!
OFCOURSE! You did Zero theme. That’s BADASS!!!!!
Alex, this Track goes hard in every level! So good! Can’t wait to download the mod and play MVCIB.
Oooooh I was waiting for this once I heard it on Max's stream, really impressed/happy it's a medley instead of one theme.
Man, this is an UH rank theme frfr, you two deserve the credits for this masterpiece
Amazing!
I love how MMZ got representation in this arrangement
