The Grand Robot Master Remix Battle Wrap-Up
It’s been a crazy few months, but the Grand Robot Master Remix Battle of 2011 we covered back in April has finally come to an end. What does this mean for the casual observer? How does 57 free Mega Man remixes from a wide variety of artists sound?
For those not in the know, the GRMRB is a remix tournament open to artists of all skill levels. After choosing a robot master from the classic series, each person was placed in a one-on-one musical battle of epic proportions where they had to combine both their chosen theme and their opponent’s. Each song was made in a single week followed by a week of public voting to determine who would move to the next tier of the bracket.
32 different musicians signed up for the task, but only 1 was left standing among the robo-carnage. Even I threw my hat into the ring, only to fall in round 3 to none other than the champion of the competition himself.
You can find download links for each round in the competition thread as well as higher quality files of my own entries here. To see the breakdown of the artists, robot masters and how everybody progressed, click on the icons below.
All in all, it was a blast to participate and I encourage anybody with the means to do so to give it a shot when it comes around again (probably next year). Until then, enjoy the results of everyone else’s hard work!
Update: There is a now a zip file containing every song in all its retagged glory. Get it here.

Wow, 57 tracks…that’s just amazing.
Congrats on making it so far!
Haha, that’s funny. Roll represents the final round!
Anyone else noticed that mainfinger, the writer of this news post, only lost to the man/woman who won the entire competition?
Props. Mad props.
Nice to see my graphic design work showing up in more places, even if DarkeSword did do some edits before making it official for the compo. =)
Grats to WillRock for knocking the mattress reject out of the ring. Time to go download all the tracks now!
This is awesome. More stuff like this must happen so we can get more remixes like these.
That reminds me, does anyone know if that X series remix pack is still on the works? I’m really pumped up for that.
I am so entering the next Maverick battle. Whoo!
DuoDynamo: I believe it is, but I don’t know how far in production it is
Oh, and Main Finger… Scorched Ice is still my favorite song of the entire flipping compo.
Congrats on making it so far Mainfinger! Looking forward to listening to all of these when I get home.
Honestly, did anyone think they could take out the God of OCRemix, Willrock?
Awesomesauce all around, but WillRock OWNS YOUR SOUL!!!
Seduction or Nekofrog may have fared better, but that’s debatable.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate the kind words
Hey, thanks for the writeup.
Scorched Ice = Sex
Mainfinger, you have it done with that track!
@Byte Man: Actually, Willrock lost the Grand Maverick battle (last year?) to Txai.
Wow your Bots of Rage is awesome
@Zerothemaster All the more incentive to become a stronger GOD!
Megaman music is good enough in its original form, remixes sometimes make it even better. Thanks for all these remixes, I think everyone is a winner
