@@TheFirstHunt while I am somewhat sympathetic to the idea that "using art without affirmative consent of the artist as training data for an AI model constitutes theft", I have major doubts that that will be an effective argument in the legislative war against AI (at least in the US) to me, the biggest ethical problem with AI art is that corporate actors will use it displace large amounts of artists and hoard the savings in labor costs to themselves (same story as with the Luddites and the Jacquard loom) --- the problem is not inherently the technology (not to say AI art isn't problematic), but rather the fact that under our current social order the benefits of the technology will be distributed inequitably (rich get richer, screw the poor, etc.) as it stands, Savaged Regime is not a corporate actor, and he is not pretending to a visual artist, so I am willing to tolerate the use of AI art in this case (especially because it's grotesque)
There's something about FM 3 that I find fascinating. There's a sine wave within a sawtooth that are seemingly acting completely independent of each other. Providing 2 entirely different functions. But both come from the same channel. Wonder how the code behind it works.
These PCM samples are truly savage, how did you squeeze these beefy samples down to the size/bitrate needed to fit into the limitations of the chip? Incredible work yet again
You managed to take a theme I always thought sounded kind of boring and turned it into a mysterious, somber tune. It just goes to show you that instrumentation is very important in making a song stand out.
The guy who draws the One Punch Man manga designed Crystal Man when he was a kid. Also Dust Man. Idk if he was the only repeat winner but that's pretty fn impressive.
What a great cover, i would love to listen to more NES soundtracks in this exact style, megaman 5 inclusive ofc since it's the megaman game i had, also i love the image background 😅 quite an original style, looks like a 80's super villian
You almost never hear whistles through the YM2612, but every time I do, it's absolutely magnificent. Thank you for this excellent rearrange. I think more music done through the YM2612 could use MORE WHISTLE!
I was looking at these scopes and being like "where is that main lead? I don't see it." And then I realized it's sharing a channel with the bass. You squeezed two simple and distinct instruments (a sawtooth bass and a sine lead) out of a singe channel, genius move!
A shame there's still no decent DMF player for retro consoles. As much as I enjoy those Deflemask/Furnace covers, having to listen to them on RUclips is depressing.
Wonderful as always. You flesh out a unique mood with every megaman track, and it always fits wonderfully as I imagine the stage in my head. I want to play these games again with complete scores by you.
I was legit shocked some crybabies randomly showed up complaining when he's been generating these amazing cursed images for nearly a year now lol. I hope he doesn't stop because of a bunch of whiners.
I guess the general mindset is to shame AI out of existence, though that has no chance of working. Otherwise, some of these people seem to be under the impression that without AI Savaged Regime would be paying artists for thumbnails on songs that bring in hardly any money.
Wowowow. Loved this song but you took it to the next level. Bravo!
Lumpy!!
woah
ayo its lumpy
I'd concur but I rather grew up with MM4. Regardless, their work is funky fresh.
AYY
i love these cursed thumbnails
Isn't that from an actual boxart?
@@soundspark They seem AI generated images of the Robot Masters if they were in an actual boxart. Cursed indeed, I fucking love these.
I'd absolutely love to play this on real hardware. Sounds amazing
I bought xeno just because he did music on it and it was worth it. the music sounds phenomenal on a sega genesis
Perfect music for driving home.
👋
Perfect music
Preferred Wave Man’s theme for the occasion, but whatever.
also perfect for on the toilet or eating cheetos on my sweaty leather couch ❤
the absolute master of the ym2612
love the crystal clear sound
Get this in Sequel Wars! PLEASE!!
indeed
IIRC his tracks will be used for the "modern mode" (I forgot its name but the updated sprites one)
It's probably gonna feature in Sequel Wars indeed, like his MM4 remixes 😊
Confirmed
Crunchy, groovy, no complaints...loved it.
My favorite YM2612 channel is back :)
You make me sad. I cry now 😭😭😭
Loving the use of the FM tubular bells/chimes , really does a lot to add to the atmoshpere of the song
Yeah, feels like crystal
keep it up with these utterly grotesque AI generated megamen --- I love them
This one's synthetic skin doesn't seem to be holding up very well.
Same here. It's hilarious. I wonder what prompts he used to make them.
Or don't because theft isn't cool

I want him to use the joker for clown man if he ever does mm8 covers 😅

it's the special mode, you can use the 4 oscillators separately.
I have no idea where you find these funny wallpapers, but I like them, they make me smile.
Mega Drive sound chip still has got catchy sound nowadays. Well done...
Really love the use of chimes in this song, gives it a very "crystal" sound.
These PCM samples are truly savage, how did you squeeze these beefy samples down to the size/bitrate needed to fit into the limitations of the chip?
Incredible work yet again
The background images you use for these always kill me.
Reminds me of some sort of 80s sci fi novel cover.
I want him to cover the ending credits song so bad
i luv how this makes the theme much more melodic and memorable
That bass tho
Good observation. The bass is perfectly punchy. This could be a great 80's pop song.
As one wise worm once said: "Groovy!" Good job!
Way cool!
And a wise cow also said:
"Well done." 🐮
"Tender"
Oh, I love the Tresaure/GEMS sounding feel in the instrument choices.
This is truly an impressive reimagining. I particularly like how you extended the main riff. Very nice ambience.
You managed to take a theme I always thought sounded kind of boring and turned it into a mysterious, somber tune. It just goes to show you that instrumentation is very important in making a song stand out.
Never heard a Crystal Man remix that groovy. Hands down my favourite take, well done mate, you really put your soul into those work of yours 👌
This sounds incredible, would love to see more NES covers like this one, including megaman 5, also i love the artstyle of the image, quite original 😅
Crystal Core Zone.
"Crystal Core Zone."
It's just sounds like Sonic The Hedgehog stage. ^^
Crystal clear FM sound, man!
Wow, sounds so clean. I know I shouldn't be shocked by now, but damn
Even went a step further beyond by making it sound like a crystal too o:
Beautiful, best version of Crystalman IMO!
You're making me get a mix of your stuff. Been a *long* time since I've been a fan of someone's work like this.
Sweet Lord, it's so... _beautiful!!_
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Made this song sound 3000x better
Gives a bit of Mega Man 8 vibes.
Hell yeah, i was waiting for more covers. I love it
Ha ha ha. The Megaman in the background image looks like Prophet from Crysis. 🤣🤣
Mega Man Sequel Wars MM5 hype! 😍😍
My man SR back at it again at Krispy Kreme, I see ♥
An often forgotten tune, this is hands down in my top 5 megaman tracks. Solid cover as always
This one's got the feel of a crystalline shmup stage.
Nice Cover! Makes me want to replay Megaman 5.
love the crystal patch at around 0:50
IS THAT A SEGA GENESIS SOUND CHIP???
The FM1 R Channel slide is filthy, I love it.
The guy who draws the One Punch Man manga designed Crystal Man when he was a kid. Also Dust Man. Idk if he was the only repeat winner but that's pretty fn impressive.
one of my favorite tracks on a soundtrack that slaps from front to back, love this
Not gonna lie, this plus the Sky High Zone from Sonic is the reason I subbed to your channel. What a throwback for me this is! Sick!
What a great cover, i would love to listen to more NES soundtracks in this exact style, megaman 5 inclusive ofc since it's the megaman game i had, also i love the image background 😅 quite an original style, looks like a 80's super villian
Mick Jagger Man? I do believe Megaman has met his match with that one, nobody outlives Mick Jagger, nor a robot-master who has his power.
Nice cover! And cursed thumbnail!😅
What AI does he use to make these abominations? I want to make some.
You almost never hear whistles through the YM2612, but every time I do, it's absolutely magnificent. Thank you for this excellent rearrange. I think more music done through the YM2612 could use MORE WHISTLE!
I like the drum set ❤❤❤
Well I guess this is what Crystal man's theme will be in Sequel Wars
look at how mega that man is
I was looking at these scopes and being like "where is that main lead? I don't see it." And then I realized it's sharing a channel with the bass. You squeezed two simple and distinct instruments (a sawtooth bass and a sine lead) out of a singe channel, genius move!
he looks like chuck from better call saul
the cover image is giving me turrican vibes
Ooh. Love the art and how groovy this track is.
damn that is a really americanized megaman, huh
Lee Marvin as Mega Man! ;)
Amazing. Incredible. Talented.
The AI generated thumbnail looks like real American video game box art from back in the day.
Sonic vibes
Judge dread man?!
Man, when Sequel Wars MM5 comes out, and this is in it, I am gonna get so fucking blazed and just take it all in. This is great
I love these 80s synthwave vibes, you keep the "retro feel", what a genius!
This is absolutely *beautiful!* _Please,_ tell me this is going into "Episode Blues" of _Rockman Giga World!_
A shame there's still no decent DMF player for retro consoles. As much as I enjoy those Deflemask/Furnace covers, having to listen to them on RUclips is depressing.
vgm bro?
There's a couple. Sega MegaDrive Vgm Player by Dead Fish Software and XGM / VGM player for Megadrive
Manly Mega Man, punches every robot master to its death
This remix has some serious streets of rage 2 vibes
epic tune... but why always those US cover art style megaman 🤣
The whistling and chiming made this sound chill, magical and nostalgic. Superb work.
You did an amazing job of capturing the atmosphere and mood of this stage even better than the original.
This one has a very Gunstar Heroes feel to it
Damn this is so unbelievably good. Can I just live in a world of new Genesis/MD games that SR composes?
Inb4 this gets used in The Sequel Wars
So good, had to blast it on the speakers.
Me: Mega Man 5 ost is perfect and can’t be improved. *glares in Complete Works*
SR: Hold my beer.
Wonderful as always. You flesh out a unique mood with every megaman track, and it always fits wonderfully as I imagine the stage in my head. I want to play these games again with complete scores by you.
This version sounds like a Genesis game I recently listened to the soundtrack of. I think it was called Thunder Force IV or something.
Crystal man yay
poundin
Ninten-Don't ever stop cranking out these masterpieces.
What is this artwork btw? I really dig this version of mega man
Love this a lot more than the original given MM5 has my top 3 osts in the series
Love this AI art keep it up.
I was legit shocked some crybabies randomly showed up complaining when he's been generating these amazing cursed images for nearly a year now lol. I hope he doesn't stop because of a bunch of whiners.
@@professorpenne9962 Yeah those types of people just can't accept that AI has extraordinary technical skill when it comes to art.

What's not to like about Mega Chad?
What generator did he use?
This reminds me of the Japanese/European soundtrack to Sonic CD!
Never really cared for this song or the stage but now this is one of my favorite stage themes, thank you
It's incredible how just giving the track a more stable percussion section changes the feel so much.
This cover would not be out of place in the Stratus Dance Club, a popular dance club in the San Diego area in the 80s. Nice job!
Very nice work! Congratulations!
I've only played the games a little, but I LOVE YOUR MEGA MAN REMIXES!!!
This looks like something the late Juan Giménez would have created.
The bassline is giving me serious Bomberman 64 vibes!
Who is making the crystal man usa cover??
Tested some speakers with this song. I Love the Bass Tone in this
Dude please do Noah Spectre from MUSHA
I'm just starting with deflemask, how'd you make that clean whistle sound in the melody? (ALSO AWESOME JOB!)
The classic Megaman series could have turned out better if it was on the Genesis / Megadrive.
That old looking mega man tho. Hes seen stuff.
