What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

Well, goddamn is one way to put it.

The groove of Malcos + the piano of RTF? That is a recipe for instant success right there.

I love how it starts out with one groove, then switches to another but never loses the momentum. It's beautiful.

This is now my excuse when I do horribly in Street Fighter; I was too busy grooving to this song!

Nice. One of my favorites from the project.

Xenon's right about the groove changing on this one. What first sounds like an Asian/Bossa Nova hybrid evolves into breaks and ambient.

This mix is silky smooth. I wish it didn't cut off abruptly at the last pad, but no matter.

This is one of my favorite mixes from the project. It's a great song to relax to.

Little "story behind the music" moment:

This is my third attempt to remix Chun-Li’s Theme. My previous two arrangements were also destined to Shael Riley’s “Blood on The Asphalt”. The first one was actually pretty bad and died along with my old hard drive (lost lots of fun stuff there). After that I though the track would certainly be taken and remixed by someone else, but it remained free, so I went and tackled it a second time, which turned out to be a quite decent effort (I owe loads to this project, I improved a lot awhile working on it), however, it was messy and, in a very specific way, not following the genre lines Shael established, so I ended up dropping the track a second time. By that time, Malcos was already banging the project like mad, he had already done Balrog, Dhalsim and started remixing Cammy (another track with quite a background). After a while he mentioned he wanted to collab with someone on it and I stepped forth. In the meantime, for whatever reason, I started writing a third arrangement of the Chun-Li’s theme (ok, a like the source, sorry), which was coming out much better then the other two, after Malcos took a listen on the WIP we agreed to start sweeping tracks. While he worked on Cammy, I worked on Chun-Li, and so on and so forth, in some sort of musical Tennis. During this period Shael was really busy and almost never available, so I was really hoping he would like the end result. Hopefully, he did.

… or at least I think he did, never really asked actually.

Amazing stuff. The groove pulls you in, and I would have to say that RTF is one of the best sequenced piano soloists I've ever heard. Engaging all the way through. That groove. Oh, baby.

Stylin', groovin', smooth work here.

RTF and Malcos' collabs were my favorite songs from the BotA project. You guys do outstanding collab works. I have to mirror what djp said about this. It's so smooth and perfectly put together that it's pretty much impossible to tell who did what on this song. I hope to hear more collabs from you two in the future.

Also, I'm shocked as to how far RTF has come in so little time. I remember hearing some of your stuff on vgmix around a year ago and thinking it was all right, and now you've been blowing me away with your music. Props to you, man.

Thanks dude. It's just a good deal of homework, eating lot's of vegetables for vitamins and obeying my mom.
