The Prog Rock lover in me was probably somewhat inspired by Megaman X's Spark Mandrill and Storm Eagle, but growing up listening to OCRemix also was likely a major factor for me. That and I shamelessly love Megaman 8's Wily Stage 1 music.
My first ever Megaman game was Megaman 3 that i received for Christmas. Loved the game and the soundtrack! You nailed this one Kara, it sounds amazing!
I... am just soo blown away. I've tried playing some of may favorite tunes on Piano that have been transcribed, and they're usually so fast I just can't keep up, and then you go "This is easy!". It's really fun to see what's possible out there. Lovely work. Thank you for posting this.
You should have seen me play Kirby's Gourmet Race theme at full tempo today, it was much crazier even than this!! here's the video, if you start it at 2:05:30 and watch till the end up to 2:12:00 where I finally play it at tempo with the original track, it was insane! :D www.twitch.tv/videos/1775418319
@@KaraComparetto that was awesome. I'm really impressed how quickly you transitioned into playing the next song that was slow and quiet. Too much fun. Thank you for sharing that clip (but don't give yourself carpal tunnel! Ack!)
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels I've come across - your proficiency is quite apparent and I especially enjoy how you seem to really enjoy doing this! Thank you for your contributions to this community and please keep up the amazingly excellent work!!
watching the channel chronologically made this video even funnier than it probably is on its own. it’s like the genre changed from new age classical to slapstick comedy
The speed at which you're able to how to play a song that you've never heard from just reading music is amazing. Oh and you're adorable as you're learning. Looking forward to more gaming covers. 🙂
Not only were you playing great, but it feels so good to see the musician having fun while playing! I wish this were common in presentations. I know it may make the presentation less solemn, but the enthusiasm feels contagious!
Its funny, the intensity you have in your eyes playing this song is the same intensity that speedrunners have when playing the game. Such a wonderful soundtrack! You absolutely did it justice :)
Woah! This my favorite tune from MM3 and was curious how it would sound on piano. You nailed it! It was also great to see your excitement and enthusiasm as you played it. And this was an unrehearsed live learn? Major props! Great work on this!
"This is easy" she says with confidence! 🤩 Sounds awesome in this arrangement, sounds like one of the more dramatic battle themes from a Final Fantasy game. You totally rocked it, Kara!
@@KaraComparetto Dr. Wily 1 from Megaman 2 is, of course, one of the most beloved NES tracks ever. Incredible depth and texture for the sound hardware they had to work with. That'd be a fun one, I bet. That youtube fellow that does those synced A Cappellas cracked me up good with that one.
The concentration. The intensity. The sheer grit. This is how I look when I manage Luna's Song on a keyboard. You know, different skill levels, different victories. Awesome though. ^.^
I just now discovered this! I’m a now a new fan and subscriber! This brought such a huge smile to my face! I just love your enthusiastic energy! Thank you!!!
Years later I just realized the first time you read the music, you read the coda and repeated the beginning. The second time you started from the beginning and played they the coda again... then didn't play it again. I've always loved this video, but never caught that... It's brilliantly on point
The contrast between the expressions of your videos is incredible, I was listening to your KH music and saw your face there very serious, and then move to this piece and listening to your laugh made me look at the video and was quite refreshing watching you enjoying some piece, like im so cool and this is so good!!
I’m so torn on this because I don’t want to fill my UA-cam with a bunch of live learns lol! But I also think people enjoy them, I’m considering doing one every two or three weeks :)
I came here due to the Top Man cover only to discover you’re a great Nobuo Uematsu-fan as well. That’s a really great coincidence. Final Fantasy VII is my all time favorite game soundtrack and the only one I ever purchased besides the game itself.
I hope you do. I look forward to hearing it. It is nothing short but fantastic. There's a couple of different versions of all the songs and some of the versions will be better on the piano than others, but I'm sure you already know. :-) @@KaraComparetto
Wow, what a great video. Watching your passion is fun, engaging and infectious. Such a cool song and fantastic approach to a video game classic. Thanks for sharing your joy with us 😊
Love the style and spirit you performed this with. Even this diehard RPGer can appreciate the Mega Man games and their soundtracks. Thanks for sharing!
I was always the opposite, more a fan of platformers, but have learned to appreciate RPGs much more over the years! Chrono Trigger was really one of the only RPGs I loved as a kid :)
insane awesome work aggain. you got music in your blood. enjoying good tunes is one thing. but beeing able to play them is 2nd to none. Like you part of the greatness or taking part of greatness or something. i know as a guitarist. by far not as quick as you figuring out songs, quite slow myself actually. but i know the fun of covering music. and esspecially when you give your own interpetation to songs. a bit of your own twist or something. Keep up the impressive work kara 👌👊
That's so cool! I don't really game much anymore but if there's anything I've kept from the 90s it's sound and music. Maybe I still like the character play for kids, but we might grow up too soon if we play too much. I really enjoyed this one too!
I enjoyed watching this. Alot. Because I'm a Piano Player too. Everyday for 3 years. But I'm not as good as you. Yet. Ok. I subscribed. You might be my favorite yet.
.... You look like how I feel when I play something beyond my expectation. I try recording myself. Over and over. Many Fails. Then I play something so magical . When I look up to the camera, after, it either did not record it. Or it only recorded halfway. So, I never got to see my own facial expressions but I think I look similar. I will catch it on tape one day.
Maybe those moments were never meant to be recorded but only enjoyed in the moment they were played. It happens to me sometimes too. Thank you for your sub! Also- ive been playing for 29 years, so I have a lot of years on you haha!
I'm so glad I clicked on this! Mega Man 3 is my favorite in the series
Me too. The first boss i beat on it was snake man, i was four and my brother just got on the bus to go to kindergarten.
Word. The slide? The soundtrack? I don't care what anyone says. Mm3 for life!
@@eviljigglypuff2254 I prefer Megaman 2, as a game. But Megaman 3, as a score. Best on the NES, in my most humble opinion.
@@soiguitar2really?? first boss I beat on MM3 was needle man
Me too! And the Intro Theme is best Mega Man song
that FACE lmao so intense. Yes.. she understands every note. and how it feels to love these songs.
You're so magnetic! Your expression through the learning process hooked me up!
Oh my god you’re doing the Megamans! My dream. These games have some of the most amazing music from my childhood.
Yeah!!! I loved these games too!!

My first ever Megaman game was Megaman 3 that i received for Christmas. Loved the game and the soundtrack! You nailed this one Kara, it sounds amazing!
I imagine this is the look of someone who really enjoys what they are doing, both playing the piano and sharing it with everyone. Thanks
I sure do 😊
The seriousness is the most attractive part. She cares!!! Tears!!!
Oh yes. Megaman!!! And you're starting with Megaman 3, one of the best in terms of OST in the series.

You're one crazy hell of a pianist!
ahahah thank you
The most impressive thing about this video is the development of the play through each iteration. That's an admirable characteristic.
absolute SKILL
If you ever needed a proof that having a good piano in your life upgrades your joy of life... here you go. : )
oh it sure does :)
The intensity in your eyes while you tame this beast is so cool, holy cow!
The look of determination! Top man stood no chance!
YEAH YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!
EXACTLY!
You are a amazing person at the end of the song made me smile so much .

I have already watched this like ten times. It never gets old!
KEEP WATCHING FOR THE ALGO! XD
That's most of Kara's videos. Her FFVI soundtrack video, and the Dancing Mad Piano/Organ duet were addictive.
You're having so much fun!!
Mind officially blown!!!🤯
This is great Kara, Mega Man sounds beautiful on Piano
That was amazing!!
🤘🔥🤘
watching the channel chronologically made this video even funnier than it probably is on its own. it’s like the genre changed from new age classical to slapstick comedy
YESS megaman 3 music is some of the best ever, and you did great, it sounds fantastic!
Oh man. This is amazing. Mega man 2 and 3 are ripe for piano covers. I'm quite amused watching you lock in and laugh. that "oh dear" was priceless.
I always enjoy Kara's twitch clips.
Megaman 3 is my favorite from the classic series! Loved the whole soundtrack. Amazing job!
🔥🔥🔥🔥 def do this whole game
The speed at which you're able to how to play a song that you've never heard from just reading music is amazing. Oh and you're adorable as you're learning. Looking forward to more gaming covers. 🙂
Holy crap this is masterful for running a gauntlet BLIND. Huge kudos and sounds awesome
There are a lot worse mega man learns out there for sure 😂 but always a fun challenge!!
Yay, Mega Man 3! The title with imo the best quality soundtrack.
Not only were you playing great, but it feels so good to see the musician having fun while playing! I wish this were common in presentations. I know it may make the presentation less solemn, but the enthusiasm feels contagious!
thank you so much!!
You are an absolute beast! I am blown away a human can keep up with that MM tempo!
This was excellent; it brought a smile to my face.
you nail it so quickly! It's amazing!
Every time I see the thumbnail for this I have to play it :-D Can't stop. Won't stop! LOL

I've literally never joined a Twitch stream in my life, but your playing and energy are so endearing that I'm considering it. Remarkable once again!
Awesome job! Would love to hear all the stage themes from MM3!!
Well you gotta join a stream, I play so many mega man songs!!
I loved how much fun you're having. Brilliant as always❤❤
Only those who played it know the emotion megaman 3 is beautiful
I recently did as an adult, though I do have memories of playing it as a kid too!
this is incredible. so uptempo and energizing. I feel like I drank a red bull
Lol!!😂
That was epic Kara. I think what I enjoyed the most is how much you enjoyed it!
I want to make you all smile too! :)
Watching and listening to this has enriched my quality of life. Thank you for doing some great Mega Man tunes.
Aw thank you!! 😍🥰
That's insane, Kara, and yet as usual you rise to the occasion.
4:02 her laugh and how in love with the instrument and music are just too pure and wholesome 🥲💕
Your videos made me laugh and smile even though I was super depressed.
❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely envelopes you in the fun! Another stunning performance 👏 ❤
You learned and connected immediately with the song, you are amazing!
This was one of my favorite themes as a kid! I'd always be humming this melody, this one and Snake Man, haha.
Snake man might be another one I've never tried before!!
@@KaraComparetto You're pretty good at this whole piano thing ;P I bet you can do it!! Haha, hope you're doing good!
@@KaraComparetto, I'd even suggest this, Spark Man's, Magnet Man's, Shadow Man's... Aw heck. The whole dang game sounds awesome!🤣
Love the awesome energy! This is a must watch to break up the mundaneness of the work day.
The concentration. The intensity. The sheer grit. This is how I look when I manage Luna's Song on a keyboard. You know, different skill levels, different victories. Awesome though. ^.^
ahaha thanks Dustin!
Love it, Kara!! If you haven't listened to the Mega Man 3 Intro Theme yet, do yourself a favor and go listen to it right now! It totally rules!
Maybe that should be my next live learn! >:)
I just now discovered this! I’m a now a new fan and subscriber! This brought such a huge smile to my face! I just love your enthusiastic energy! Thank you!!!
its like im a kid again, I had the same fun you has while playing this amazing music. keep up the good energy.
Wow, how did I miss this one? My favorite Mega Man is the 3!!! One of the best Mega Man soundtracks!
A pleasant surprise to hear your voice! And as always you kicked ass tickling the ivory
I don't suppose you have a rendition of Spark Man laying around somewhere do you? Genuinely fun watching you enjoy nailing that, great stuff!

Yeah I try hard to be elegant on my professional UA-cam videos, but on twitch my real personality comes out 😈
A seemingly effortless effort 😲😄 Spectacular!
my 6 year old son, LOVES mega man and this is helping make him take practicing piano more seriously thanks!
I love this music-mega man three is sweet and you give a wonderful cover.
This brings me so much joy. Love to hear you talk through learning a piece. You definately should post more first times and live learns like this.

Thank you for playing such a nostalgic song you made it look easy. Thank you as well to the requestor !!😆
Wow, this is insane, great performance!
I've been watching your videos a while, I'm very excited to see you do more Mega Man themes. They're so fun!
Okay we’re planning some more for future! I played two more on my live stream tonight. They turned out great so maybe they’ll make it to UA-cam! 😂
So Lovely to have you back playing some classics/oldschool stuff. xD
Keep it up!
you need to come to the streams, I play this stuff allllll the time!! :D
Was just recommended your Big Blue (F-Zero) vid. Seems like a bit of a rabbit hole here in terms of legendary jams. Great work! (Bows to master)
