Street Fighter II: The World Warrior

Following on the heels of Quasikaotic's excellent E.Honda ReMix comes Jade Gemini's own take on the Blanka stage theme. I used to have a rapid-fire ASCII pad back when I still had my SNES, and I used to cheese all the time with his Electricity attack, so this mix conjures up some big time nostalgia :) Now-favorite JG uses her signature clean style, with analogue-ish drums and sparkling digital ambience. I think I'll take this moment to confess that, like thousands, I am in the end a RYU man, and am a very big fan of the alpha series in particular. Great stuffs yet again from da grrrl with da skillz!!

This is kinda nice but more needs to happen still.

I too have no clue why this mix doesn't get more love. It has all the required elements to be a great mix: Good beat, awesome energy throughout, and some very tight instrumentation.
I like it. And I don't even like Blanka's stage music from the original street fighter. How's that for a slice of awesome!?

What?
No love for this remix?
The first time I heard this one, I wasn't sure about it, but it has grown on me over time :D
Not Mcvaffe's best by any means, but certainly worth a listen :P

I like this! The lead instrument sure sounds the same from note to note, but the variations it plays on the original melody are great!

Very chill, very very cool.
I groove on this.

Great drive in this, I'm really tapping my toes to it.
I'm really surprised this has so few reviews! It's a really great track! The percussion really keeps the momentum, and while I haven't played Street Fighter games (yes, seriously...I suck at fighting games), I can recognize that this keeps the feel of the original, yet gives it's own flavor. Nicely done.

I really like the backing instruments on this, but the lead instrument (sounds like a koto?) isn't really doing it for me. It would have made a good backing instrument as well, and I think a nylon string guitar would have been a better lead.
Some cool melodic twists though, and the beat is very driving.

Don't remember much of the music from Street Fighter, but right off the bat, you can feel how this remix maintains that street-fighter vibe, yet adding a Brazilian flare that fits perfectly with it. This is perfect to just randomly put on at a party. Then everybody, gamers and non-gamers alike, will groove along with their improvized kung fu moves and then you've got someone else bustin' out doing capoeira/break dancing, i.e. just plain fun! and will never cease to be.

A good reason, of course...

I really dig this mix. The brazilian flavor just makes me wanna howl and
make electricity go through my skin for some reason. The instruments
are wonderful, nice and crisp. Excellent work here. I really enjoyed it.
