I thought I was the only one who thought Megaman 2 was possibly one of the greatest 8-bit tracks ever. This is performed excellently.

One of the best medleys I've heard, its so amazing how great the song composition was for the whole Rockman franchise, it's like it never ages.
I still can't believe how complex the music from these old Mega Man games was. We really were spoiled growing up with the NES. I think the Heat Man theme is my favorite from this game. Sick bassline. Also, Heat Man looks like a Zippo lighter which is funny to me

Flashman’s stage has the crunchiest guitar, almost like the notes are sliding on ice
12 perfect minutes anytime you need it. Do an album. I would go see you in concert. Quick man was amazing. Love the Spanish tone. Perfect fit.
The transition from quick man to metal man is soo good.
It's 2024 and I came across a YT of a guy going over the changing melody of the intro utilizing a piano. I was like, I wonder if anyone did the opening in guitar and to a pleasant surprise I found this complete guitar video, AWESOME!!! Side note: I was the only kid in my neighborhood that could beat the disappearing blocks stage on the way to Dr. Wiley, yeah I was total badass back then lol

By far the most beautiful Quickman that i ever heard in my life....buen trabajo Daniel!
OMG!!! quickman's stage on the acoustic guitar was awesome. I'm gonna have to pick up lessons now. Thanks man I needed that boost. Keep it up.
I've listened to all Megaman 2 medleys and yours is definitely the best. Thanks!
4:50 Quickman on the Spanish guitar is brilliant! should make a whole video of that :)
Many years of youtubing and only after watching this one I had to create a youtube account just to give it a thumbs up. Made my week!! Life is wonderful, thank you!!
I'm speechless of how amazing this is. It is the best mega man 2 melody cover on KZread!!!!!!!!!!!
Brings back memories! 😄

MEGA MAN Kon'ichiwa, Rockman-sama! I love your games and I miss the series dearly. Always brings a smile to my face to play the Anniversary Collection (the old one) or kick Sigma's bald ugly behind in X8. Arigatoû for your very existence, for it has made my life better. Namaste. **bows**
Cara... esse é um dos trampos mais monstro que já vi no YT. Só fazer essa transcrição, com esse monte de notinha e passagens rápidas, deve ter dado um trabalho gigante. Depois tem o trabalho de decorar tudo, e executar (!!). Tirar cada voz de guitarra, decorar cada uma, executar essas partes rítmicas, deve ter sido super dificil. Depois teve o trampo de fazer o arranjo (fazer uma musica grudar na outra). Isso sem contar a timbragem. Depois programar essa batera... deve ter sido um pesadelo!!! Não bastasse tudo isso, tem as imagens do jogo com menus e outras palavras customizadas... e as filmagens suas tocando as (belissimas) guitarras. Parabéns, tá impecável demais, obra prima. Deve ter dado um puuuuuuuuuuta trampo, mas valeu a pena.
Acoustic for Quickman was an exquisite choice. Also the timing of the boss destruction syncing with the song was tight.
This is absolutely my favorite installment in the entire series….the way you nailed each and every track not only gets my respect and admiration but also reminds me back before my Mother passed in 2015……her ringtone was the opening theme….thanks a million and may the gamer along side the music gods bless you for all time…..
You're a great musician! Thanks for letting the world hear this!
I am so glad Capcom shared this. Loved every second of it, thanks.

Loved that you even did the little beeping as the line draws between points on the Wily Stage map!
I love how Spanish Flamenco sounding Quick-Man's Stage theme is. Excellent stuff!
After all these years I still come back to this video
this is the best mm2 guitar melody on utube, it beats all the originals
first saw this video in 2014 i think, and 6 years on its still one of the top covers i go back to again and again
This game was my childhood and everytime I played on my Nintendo switch with the nes controller it brings so many memories and brings me to my old home and listen to the best music in a game period, long live megaman, rock man
quick man stage is brilliant

途中、クイックマンが膝の上に乗っているのがかわいい。演奏が上手すぎるダニエルこそが真のロックマン。日本より愛を込めて。
I saw this 6 years back ... just now coming back to it. I think it is an amazing mashup of all the themes. Thank you for your efforts.
So many good memories with this franchise, the music is SO good too. Mega man really deserves to be on par with Zelda and Mario
Just beautiful. Really made my day. Thank you for this
Aw i like that tiny Woodman on his guitar!
I remember watching this video when it was new and that’s when I fell in love with the Mega man 2 ost it’s just musically badass!
That had to be the best sounding 12 minutes of my day. Well done! Can't wait to hear you do the rest of the series!

That was really nice, thanks! In fact, I am working on a game-related video. It's about 10% done.
Not only does the medley sound amazing, but it may even change the order in which I decide to beat the bosses from now on. Life-changing!
this whole video is spectacular but the best part has to be the break from the electric guitar with the PHENOMENAL acoustic remix of quick mans stage. great job
Omg!!! I am such a big fan of MM2! It was the first Mega Man game I played. Which then made me a fan of the "classic" series! Thank you for this! It was stunning and brought back old feelings of noatalgia. Muy bien!! Muchos gracias señior :)
This only has 600,000 views? I feel like I've listened to it at least that many times myself. The Megaman 3 one is great, too!
This is a treat. Great guitar playing. I want to learn these riffs. I play guitar and bass. Thank u for the videos
I can't tell you how many times Ive watched this
Megaman 2, still one of the best video game I've ever played. Thank you for this cover! Thank you for bringing back so many memories!
Daniel, parabéns! Ficou incrível! E sua gameplay no fundo tá ninja!!! Faz uns 10 anos eu fiz alguns vídeos tocando alguma dessas musicas sem muitos recursos, a sua performance ficou excelente! Parabéns!
This is really good and this in my opinion is one of the 8-bit rock version of mega man out there. So keep doing the good work man because this is awesome and a thank for making for all of us to in joy something classic and old but also bringing it back from the dead in to the modern age and having a classic feeling to it so keep doing this stuff and hope for more to come
I think I posted how much I love this a few years back when I was drunk. Well Im drunk again and Im a listenin and Im a lovin. I cant get over the depth you provide for this soundtrack I come back to this rendition every time its my fav megaman 2 cover ever. Quick man is out of sight with the spanish 🎸 I love it dude love it all it is amazing thanks
quickman theme with acoustic guitar!!!! song like a music to gods!!!!!!!
This is awesome dude! Subbed.
this is the best version I've seen on youtube, Metal Man!
Great covers, great video editing, great tribute. This is exactly how video game music tribute videos should be. Perfect mix between gameplay and the guitar playing. One of my favorite scenes is the way you edited the boss battles. Great job!

After at least 1000 listen of this, I still love it just as much if not more....your adaptation is one of the best music pieces out there...the only things I can listen to as much are mike oldfields albums or leonard cohen. Thank you for this magical performance!
I wish that you can release an extended version of your playlist. Like 3-4 minutes each. Maaaan, the Quick Man beat is out of space. You rock!!!!!!!!!!
Quick Man's salsa version is sick!!!
This is exactly what the original ost would sound like if the NES was capable of realistic music, absolutely amazing!!
I've been practicing my drumming on this video for over a year and I still LOVE IT! I can almost drum it all now, feels great, man. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Why would anybody come here and then downvote this. If this interests you enough to be here you gotta love the execution. Good job!
This is the best thing i've heard since Duane and Brando's Mega Man 2 Rap. Great work!

You have the best Mega Man 2 medely. I've heard them all and yours is by far the absolute best. I love your guitar work and all the little touches and effects you use make it unique and awesome. I especially love your Quick Man theme it's perfect with the acoustic guitar.
This is so gooood! How come I've never seen this before????
Excelente midley. megaman 2 es de los video juegos que tienen la musica que mas me gusta.
Still coming back to this for the nostalgia
Obrigado, cara. Faça mais covers. São essas pequenas coisas que tornam a vida da gente mais alegre.
You're a good observer! LOL They're stickers, although I might paint them one day ... who knows :D If you look closely you might also see the robot masters bottoms I put on the guitars' straps. And yup... that's the wii sensor bar.

A shame the original name was lost in the west, because this game real name IS Rockman. I think the composer actually intended rock songs using the limited chiptune capabilities of the famicom (nes).
I never thought to leave the weapon refills for after using the crash bombs against the walls on that boss. I always knew you didn't have enough for the fight... damn
Thank you, good Sir! Been coming back to watch/listen to this masterpiece for years. Theres no shortage of Mega Man medleys out there but for me, this is the only one that counts. It gives me the feels as only the real soundtrack had before...it’s nice because you made it yours without straying from what makes the original so timeless. Biggest contributor to that is you didn’t over-do it (with layering or artistic liberties) - you did it just right 👍🏼
this is the most epic thing ever
Bravo!
Wow. Simply amazing. What a great soundtrack, and what a fine job you did with it. I got goosebumps and I'm overloaded with nostalgia right now. Thank you for this.
Never played Megaman 2, but was just watching the trailer for the new retro nes console pre installed with 30 games and the mm2 theme popped up and thought that would sound great on an electric guitar or some kind of metal version. Great cover.
