*Proceeds to make it work anyway*
Gotta love it!
*Proceeds to make it work anyway*
That's because she's Kara freakin' Comparetto. ^_^
Im a 38 year old man and i cant tell you exactly what it felt like 30 years ago playing this game. The sunsetting in the background school in the morning. Now he we are ad its a piano arrangement. This the future.
Aww!! ❤
Absolutely know those vibes my dude! I had played all the NES and GB MM games, and I got this for Christmas in '93 when I was 12. The frigid landscape of the northeast was my backdrop for not leaving my house for days while being blown away by this entire experience. And the music slaps sooooooo hard! Thanks Kara!
I love how she gets more and more into it, and suddenly stands up like friggin' Ben Folds and rocks out 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
Are we sick of the wild music? You mean best OSTs ever? Nah. More please!
I’m going to be performing the complete mega man x soundtrack on a live stream in the near future! 😂 it’s gonna be wild
I'm 32 and it hit straight into my childhood 😂 To see a professional musician enjoying so much a song from an old videogame just shows how awesome those songs were. Due to the hardware limitations, the songs could not be so complex. So, they went for creative routes, and created songs with strong base melodies. And that's the result, those songs hit HARD!! I just discovered your channel, but now I'm subscribing and watching all of your videos!
I cannot express enough the unique joy i feel watching someone like this discover fantastically inspired compositions from my favorite video games its like watching a baby eat ice cream for the first time and just knowing deep down that they too also realize how godamn good it is.
:)❤
Spark Mandrill is my favorite level music from X! Love it! Oh, and Storm Eagle!
sigma stage 1
Those two are the best ones. Would revisit those stages over and over in Maverick Hunter X.
Zero's theme will be playing in my brain when the last neurons go out.
I always hated Spark Mandrill's stage though.. for whatever reason, every time MegaMan would ALWAYS just pull out a guitar and start jamming out to the song.
@@davidkolmansigma is so sigma
MegaMan has some of the best VGM ever composed. I like how you gradually got more and more into it
I agree! I just started looking at some Mega Man sheet music for the piano. So good! 💛🤗🎹
Started with MegaMan 1-3 and then X1-X3, crazy good soundtracks regarding the limited bitrate they could use! Didnt know this works on piano haha, insane!
Best part is at 3:17. It's great seeing how much fun Kara has learning new songs and getting more into them as she plays
Megaman X1-X3 has some of my favorite SNES tracks! So glad you're getting around to some X1 music. This is pure 90's nostalgia for me...and I'm here for it!
so true
You OBVIOUSLY never played "Bart's Nightmare"
@@glorbog correct.
I don't think that's going to change the fact that X1-X3 has some of my favorite SNES tracks though, haha.
No shade on Bart's Nightmare. I can't judge what I don't know.
That moment when Kara realizes that the term "Nintendo hard" applies not only to the gameplay, but the music as well. ;)
Yeah maybe harder!! 😂
I'm a simple man, I see Spark Mandrill theme song and I press like, that being said, loved it you really got the feeling on that one
Lolll thank you ❤
Yep. This video was made for me/us. Validation that game music I always thought was incredible is widely loved.
Funnily enough, that's how we played the games back in the day. Sitting on the couch/floor with snacks on our laps meant we were relaxed and enjoying the game. Shoving the snacks aside and standing up in the middle of the floor meant we were now taking it seriously because we felt like the game had just dishonored us and three generations of our ancestors. It was _personal_ at that point. I got that same energy from 1:10 - 1:40; shoving the microphone out of the way and standing up - classic signs of "I took that personally" and it's now a matter of honor in to conquer the piece!
Everything you mentioned, minus the snacks - because my mom would whoop our asses if we made a mess, was pretty accurate!
Hahaha love it!!❤
Watching you tackle an iconic song live has to be some of the most fun videos! You were rocking by the end!
Every single theme from Mega Man X would work as a kick-ass Saturday morning cartoon intro xD
It's kind of unfair how talented you are. And by unfair I mean completely fair because of the hard work and dedication you've put into mastering piano.
Def one of my top piano role models, amazing as always
😲
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Kara is super fun! It may be that she plays these songs for the 1st time but Kara is definitely a gamer at heart! Spark Mandril is my favorite MegaManX music! ❤❤❤
These songs jive with me for sure!!
the piano is my favorite instrument, and mega man as a whole is very important to me.. the first series I ever played in my life. hearing you do this gave me very good feelings, and I love your energy
subbed :)
You’re magnificently excellent at exactly this thing that you’re doing: amazing at piano, funny, and goofy! Live long and prosper, my friend!
Thank you Daniel!! ❤
That look of absolute focus as she figures out the melody.
She looks spirited when she hyperfocuses.
This made my day! I greatly appreciate various music plays of retro gaming. From a guy who's been on a metal cover kick, I'm beyond happy when I saw this on my feed!
Keep up the amazing plays, you won my heart 🎹
Ahh thank you Chris!!
“Yo... this song is really good”
Love these “it’s not going to work” videos that end up totally working 😁
From my first time hearing you play "A Night in the Brume" back when they announced the contest winners you have shown me joy near daily. Thank you.
Wow you’ve been around a long time!! 🥰❤️
Spark Mandrill is not only one of the best MMX themes but from video games in general. I have to make a cover of this someday and you nailed this beautifully
When I was a kid I was always expecting this to sound like cowboy music
Your face at 1:15 is how we all looked and felt hearing this song for the first time as that stage opened up
Wow, on piano, this classic mega man music really sounds like diatonic hell.
that was a joyful performance 😆 i missed the stream but I'm glad y'all put the clip up on youtube!
I adore when you play MegaMan songs!
I'm glad to see soundtracks from the 16-bit world get the appreciation they deserve. Well played Miss.
:)
It's fun to see you progressively have more and more fun with it! You're such a great sight-reader!
Sight reading increasingly getting over lvl 100
It’s improving for sure!!😂
Not tired of this wild music; X1 is an all-time classic OST (even though Uematsu and Mitsuda are my favorites, please keep it coming whenever you may feel like it). Impressive reading!
Fropm sight reading it tentatively to playing nearly flawlessly in < 5 minutes. Amazing!
It's so good to see someone enjoying a thing you like since you were a kid
That song is hard. You played it well!
Tentacle Comparetto just made my week! Amazing!
You brought tears to my eyes. Megaman X series has brought me so many great memories. My car is a Blue Bomber themed. From a fellow Flautist, you are amazing! Get it gurl!
Oh man I’d love to see that car!! ❤ thank you!!
it’s so cool when you stand up and play the piano) it’s obvious how unusual it is for you)
Thank you so much for this. Rocking out to my childhood!
Waking up to this video made my heart happy
You nailed it! When I saw your video pop up about a new upload, I quickly clicked it. Looking forward to more awesome music in the future
Thank you! I’m working on some huge stuff right now but I’m currently on vacation and scheduled a couple uploads so I’m not complete silent 😂
@@KaraComparetto vacation is important. We’ll be waiting when you get back. Have fun ^_^
You are amazing! One of my favorite SNES tunes and the fact that you could get it down so well just made my day!
One of my 1st video game covers. Shut up. You nailed it
I love the mega man x soundtrack, and this version was incredible! Thank you so much for this!
Thank you Joel!!
Kara makes anything work.
Amazing, every MM track is fire!
“Are you sick of this wild music?” FUCKING NEVER!
:D
Got goose bumps! A great piece from Mega Man X
Woooooo! Heck yeah! That sounded so awesome! 😃 I love that Mega Man BGM. First time hearing a piano verson of it.
Oh wow!!
So fun to watch you play through this! 😸🥳🔥
Cuando empieza el estribillo me llega un aire de nostalgia que casi me hace llorar ❤ gracias por complacernos con estas canciones Kara!
Saludos desde Yucatán Mexico
Kara, thanks for being a good sport and trying it. I saw the thumbnail and wondered if it was too WILD 😂 but you made a decent showing ❤ keep being you!
Haha I did my best for a first play! 😂 it was fun
thx kara awesome cover 💜
Great musical outcome with a tricky piece, also love the typical Kara antics :)
This kind of wild music is the best.
0:00 "this is just not going to work, you guys"
Proceeds to play like her fingers are being guided by angels
Amazing!
Inspiring process, seeing each iteration improve is so delightful!
Very fun and energetic! Classic song
Mega Man X is my favorite game. Period. The music is just one reason but man is it amazing.
Yay Kara!!! You actually GOT UP off the bench and used tentacle skills!!! Sounds great!!!!!
The tentacles helped!!😂
this was a fucking delight ❤
This was so impressive. I absolutely love that soundtrack. It tickles my brain in so many ways, and never would have considered it even remotely possible for one person to play on piano, but you did an amazing job. And sight-read at that! Bravo!
Thank you!!😍
It is incredible how quickly you learned it and with such style. 🙂
this video was just pure joy and i love it.
AMAZING
I bet it sounds awesome on guitar!!
Yo, this sight reading is really good!
Ah yes, one more person discovers MegaMan music for the first time. EDIT: I'd like to see Kara do a dueling banjoes style competition with Supershigi. All in good fun. Everyone would be a winner in that situation.
This is my first time seeing a clip from your streams - it is so fun to watch you in the zone! And you're funny! Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow! You should come to one sometime!! They’re so much fun!!
One of my favorites from MMX, great job!❤
Love it, such a great player. Your sight reading is so good. I love your silliness.
Ah, that certainly brought a smile to my face. The fun was just contagious!
You are an amazing pianist!!! I love your videos. Somnus from FFXV is one of my favorites. Megaman X had some really great tracks!!!
Oh wow thank you, that’s an old video! Glad you’re still enjoying it :)
Spark Mandrill stage is a 16-bit heavy metal party and everyone's invited!
No matter what instrument plays it the song is always unmistakenly rock and roll. Love Megaman X. You did an incredibly good job on this. Thank you.
Blond Hair, beautiful woman playing some of the best music in video games, yes, please!
Thank you!!😂
ahhh here we see the subject slowly submitting to the spark mandrill theme . tis indeed a banger
I’d say it happened pretty quickly! 😂
@@KaraComparetto lol true !
I've listened to many versions of this song over the years, and many don't nail the double notes on the 2nd loop even on guitar, and you did it on piano (at least the first time around at 0:27). Its got a lot going on, so to get that the first time playing it is really impressive.
Haha thank you, yeah it’s in the score, I probably just gave up on it because it slowed the tempo, not exactly a great line for a solo pianist 😂
I have been hoping you would play this! Fav track from MMX.
cant wait to see the spark mandril cosplay!
Love the moments of excitement as the music washes over us
definitely a tricky one, nice work
Very good. I always found this song motivating and fun to play on guitar.
Well done Kara. That was fun to watch.
Love these videos!
This was a lot of fun, thank you! I really loved "oh, this is definitely easy to read" . . . and the tentacles! Tentacles were definitely the show topper!
LOLLLL😂
love, love, love this
charming video! thank you for learning a fan favorite :)
Omg that's was amazing. First time here btw YT algorithm seen to got me. I don't know what shocked most the amazingly song she played or how she was enjoying it. Anyway I love it ❤.
Hahaha thank you and welcome! I posted a couple other “first time plays” here on TH-cam if you can find them, including another mega man. I also do this all the time on my live streams, you should come sometime!
Didn't actually play this one as a kid. I watched it just because you looked like you were having fun. I'm sick as a dog this week and it cheered me up a bit watching you have a good ol time. Thanks for the smiles, you're super talented.
Hope you are feeling better, and I’m so glad this made you smile 😊❤
Damn they requested a good one
This is absurdly beautiful ❤ thank you for the re-vamped form of nostalgia I could have never expected. Wowwwww
Ahh thank you!!
@@KaraComparetto Luv u Kara, THANK YOU 🙌
Pretty playing and music.
So sick!!
this is amazing, please continue forever
A soundtrack I haven't actually listened to, and you just made it so that it sounds like the most amazingly cool thing. Bravo bravo! Never been a stream guy, but I think I might need to add yours to my list of useful things to do. Good music, amazing vibes, great talent...You sound like a win-to-win, for sure! Wish I could support you more, currently not the best time though. But be sure I'll be coming back to you once it's possible. Because talent is difficult to find nowadays in this sea of overwhelming exposure of everyone's activities, and I believe in rewarding it as it should. Thanks again for keeping good music and musical talent alive!
I would love to see you there!!❤
Loved this ❤
I think you did great, especially for your first time playing this super difficult song! I know personally how difficult it is having played it in my Mega Man X Medley and I struggled with it a lot lol. Mega Man X has an amazing soundtrack and I think it's the best in the series! You're super talented and a great piano player, keep it up!!
I will!! ❤
Megaman X? Now this is a pleasant surprise.
Toshihiko Horiyama's music is ... well, music to my ears. xD
Also, the part where you got up made me genuinely smile with warmth and amusement. Cheers!
Just joined your twitch because of this 😊 very well played considering the amount of action in this composition
Thank you!! We do so many fun learns on my streams! Also someone commissioned me to play the complete mega man X soundtrack on a live stream in the near future!!
@@KaraComparetto Very cool! Looking forward to it
