Hey guys! Here is the completed video for Mega Man 9's "Flash in the Dark" requested by my main man Pepowned!!

This track turned out so amazing and I honestly wasn't expecting it to be quite THIS good. I knew it would be good but damnn. The mixing on this just clicked and everything seems to have locked into place. I think arranging on stream really helps me write some of my finest material and I will definitely continue to write on stream as much as I can!

Like most of the Mega Man arrangements I do, I wanted to be very faithful to the original and preserve the high energy melodies and drum beat. However, I had a ton of room to be creative with the rhythm guitars and I took a lot of advantage of that! I found this locking rhythm that just clicked with the leads and I used that throughout most of the arrangement. For the verses, I followed the original's bass arpeggios but I tried to take it a step further and harmonize it on the diminished parts!

I hope you guys enjoy and let me know what you guys think!!

Thanks so much for the amazing support and I'll have some tabs for this coming very shortly! Have a kick ass metal week and i'll see you guys on stream soon hopefully!

It's time for one of the best themes in the whole Mega Man series, DR WILY STAGE 1 aka Flash in the Dark! Some will insist that Dr. Wily's original theme from Mega Man 2 is the best but I might have to stand and say this one of my favorite! It has such a catchy main melody and it was so fun to arrange. I went EXTRA hard with the rhythm guitars as well as the drums on this; raising the volume up a bit and putting a ton of focus into making it as energetic as possible! I'm insanely proud of how this came together and it's another Mega Man track that I'm so happy to have covered.
