Rockman & Forte composer breakdown discussion

[Jormungand]

EDIT: Complete confirmed credits below.

Might as well have it's own thread, right?

I'll put forth my thoughts, but I haven't deeply analyzed this score like those I've done in the past. I'm using kyubihanyou's post from the Chiptuned Rockman thread as a starting point:

Kirikiri-chan (Toshihiko Horiyama - Confirmed): One Youtube video said he did Coldman. I'd buy that, since he's the lead composer and all. (Title, Player Select, Stage Select, Shop, Database, Game Start, Coldman, Tenguman (?), Stage Clear, Get a Weapon, Save & Load, King Stage Demo, King Stage, Game Over, perhaps?)---->Anything with a whailing guitar that sounds like Yuki Iwai

Naoshi Mizuta: Staff Roll sounds like Opening Stage---> Also, anything that has a more complex, slower melody and very low use of guitar and/or is generally longer [Think Dan's Theme from Street Fighter Zero]. ---->Pirateman, Tenguman, Astroman; Also, anything with a panflute sound--->Dynamoman, Magicman, Burnerman (Connection made from similar melody between Dynamoman and Opening Stage)

Akari Kaida: Other than Groundman, Boss has the same-sounding start; the bassline in Last Stage is the same as the one found in the first six seconds of Boss, just slowed down a little; Crystal Stage and King Stage Boss both have the same organ-esque sound as Boss and Groundman.

Also, the GBA version was arranged by T. Arisaka

Confirmed credits are Groundman by Kaida, Museum/Opening Stage by Mizuta, and apparently Coldman by Horiyama? (though the beginning of Coldman does sound like Horiyama, the guitar part reminds me more of Kaida...)

Anyway, I agree with kyu crediting Horiyama for Title, Player Select, Stage Select, Shop, Game Start, Stage Clear, Get a Weapon, Save & Load, King Stage Demo, King Stage, and Game Over.

Database I would attribute to Mizuta. The meandering melody and slow, laidback chord progression reminds me more of his style.

Tenguman and Pirateman, I believe, belong to Kaida.

Astroman, which I adore, also reminds me more of Kaida. In fact, it sounds like it could fit right into Breath of Fire III as a dungeon theme.

Burnerman doesn't really sound like Mizuta to me. I think it's Horiyama because the melody reminds me of Cloudman from MM7 a bit.

I would agree with crediting Dynamoman and Magicman to Mizuta.

Wily Castle, Boss , and Last Boss make me think of Horiyama.

I agree about Seals/Crystal Stage sounding like Kaida.

And finally, Credits sounds like Mizuta.

Discuss!
