We're one step closer to completing Mega Man 2. As always, the title should have "stage" at the end of it.

As always, this is a real clean sheet off the start!

 - m6/8 I noticed you left out some harmonies in the right hand. Was that because the tempo is too fast to reasonably hit them?
 - I also noticed that after m8, the LH gets significantly more staccato

That's everything from me!

Thanks, I try my best.

You would be right. I'll leave it up to the pianists more experienced than me to prove those dyads are playable at this tempo.

- I also noticed that after m8, the LH gets significantly more staccato

That's because the pulse channels are no longer doubling the triangle part's bass line by that point. Pulse 2 serves as a sort of faux-reverb there, a softer and delayed imitation of Pulse 1, which is why it might appear like the bass sounds more staccato from m. 8 onwards, but this is not the case. For consistency's sake (alongside the fact I personally don't think it sounds any shorter), I see no reason to notate the left hand any differently past the intro.
