123) Mega Man 3 - Title
Series rank: 3 of 4
https://youtu.be/oEf8gPFFZ58
Composer: Yasuki Fujita
Score: 7.7/10 (Good)
VGMC History: VGMC 2 (Lost R7 to MGS2 theme)
Favorite Part: The first section

Best Mega Man title theme ever? Maybe I guess Im not as flabbergasted by this as I used to be. Still, this is one CHILL opening. Its like Mega Man is having his own little soliloquy. Nifty little bluesy line to get repeated an octave up. You got that STYLISH chromatic trick at about 0:16. Then you got this upward/downward motion 3+3+2 rhythm, and then switches to straight triplets the second time around FUN! (at least, to me), Then the music hits a sudden fanfare, followed by an agile, slithering melody culminating in this CRAZY fast hemiola pattern at 0:28-0:30. MORE fun! From there, we get a short little theme split between the top and bottom, an effect that's like reverberating this is what we call creative use of chiptunes! 0:42 finally adds a cool countermelody to finish it off. It doesnt come off as amazing best NES music ever like it used to, but I still like it a lot!

122) Guilty Gear Isuka - Riches in Me

The beginning reminds me of Street Fighter or Double Dragon or something, but that makes sense considering the kind of game this is. It starts off nice and mild. Then you suddenly got this INSANELY grindy low guitars all of a sudden it couldnt possibly get more different! Pretty cool! Interesting staccato/legato use in the bass. The theme works SO WELL in this style can you imagine this playing soft and slow? I certainly cant. The melodic structure is good its certainly not normal. Especially the refrain. (0:48) I love the way it climaxes at 1:06, then how it moves back down Im liking the strong bass sound instead of chords you got these fat octaves! At key points they run parallel with the melody which is certainly interesting. (at 0:55, for instance) Im not terribly impressed with the solo later on...meh. At 3:00 you got a really nice elongated reverb (yummy bass) down to the mild stuff from the beginning very nice!
