Street Fighter II: The World Warrior

It's a good week for Street Fighter II fans (rejoice, ma bruthas!) as McVaffe returns from peaceful slumber with an R&B vengeance. This track debuted on Super Radio X, a college radio station that is now sadly in 'hibernation' but contributed a lot to the game remix scene with interviews (including moi) and of course by PLAYING some of the tracks from our site. For whatever reason, it didn't handle the 24Kbps degradation too well, so I imagine most that heard it there have been waiting for the high quality version - here you go chaps and chapettes. McVaffe has taken the spanish theme from Vega's stage and turned into a very slick R&B track that TLC would be proud of, with some masterfully played piano interludes. One can just envision Vega maccin' it old school in those tight purple threads of his and hittin' on Cammy and Chun to McV's phat beatz. Wow. I said 'phat beatz'. Kill me. Seems to repeat a bit, but who cares - golden stuff, grab it.

Think you can top this? Just get in the ring.
Hit you so hard you be seeing double;
Got the bass kick, turn your foundation to rubble.
Snare drum poppin', going right for your throat;
synths and strings up top, where they gracefully float.
With a flow so chill and a beat so hot;
It's both hell and high water taking over the block.

Guitar lines are swayin', you know what i'm sayin';
When it comes to McVaffe, it's respect you be payin'.
With a massive technique to silence the crowd;
Listen the right way; crank this up loud.

I'm out, Peace.

Coolest rap ever!!!:razz:

I just gotta say this remix is great. I actually heard it while I was in my car...I was stopped at a red light and the car next to me had this amazing bass and I leaned over and asked the passenger what the song was called and she asked the driver and told me it was called vega's ballad well after some searching I found this site and was linked to the song and i gotta say I was not dissapointed. Lets just say when I let the wifey listen to it she was eager to get to bed :wink:

Hehehe...
I was watching Judge Mathis this morning and the credits theme has the exact same style of guitar and whistle...does McVaffe watch Judge Mathis? :D

Thick and tasty, this mix starts off slow-roasted for maximum pleasure.
The plucked intro's grace yields to a nice kick/snare combo with a bit of an overly loud high-hat in the left ear.
Ahh...but enter the sinth pads countering the main melody being sung by a multiple violin set. The strings have been set in the back far enough to carry without being overly sappy. The high-hat is still tinging away though....
It all comes together with a piano interperatation of the Vega "End Theme" as the guitar contiues to pluck away. Synth pads meander in the back, behind the piano, providing interesting harmonizations.
Quality stuff....but that high-hat nags me throughout the entire work.
9.5/10

This song is one of the best remix I have ever seen, remixing this Vega music was challenging and the result is astonishing !!
Congratulations for your great work ! 8)

I love it! Vega's Theme, my favourite game song.

- Demko on January 10, 2005
0:39 the strings come in, I'm loving it!
I love the parts where the piano comes in at 1:38 and 3:30 but it dies away after about 5 seconds. Those parts needed to be longer.
I just think McVaffe should have chosen better drum samples than this song would awesome!

This is my offcial walking theme... its got that walk with respect feel you get in "rap" videos *not a big fan of rap however*

- EvilRyu38 on April 15, 2004
Loving McVaffe, seems everything he puts out is total hotness. Remixing Vega's uptempo groove into a slow R&B blazer is total genius. Seems as though you're feeling it, not just hearing. Almost sounds something you can make love to, or do some serious meditation. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try either.. :P

This is really an incredibly high-quality mix. it is done very well, and it is both seamless and fluid. It sounds like something you would hear on the radio...i promise that isnt an insult. it's really much better than anything one would hear on the radio, but it does kind of have that pop/r&b groove going on. good stuff.

- Vig on February 11, 2003
very nice wait its very very nice
this would have to be 2nd fav remix on this site ;)
keep up the good work :)
i felt kinda like a matador when i was listening to this very realistic ;)

I'm gonna have to list this song as my personal favorite ReMix. Not only because it's a remix from my favorite game, not just becaus McVaffe is my Strong Island homey :wink: , but because Vega's Ballad has a feel to it that draws me in and makes the outside world stop whenever the song is playing. I also find it very creative on McV's part to take a Latin-themed song like Vega's and change it up into a fantastic R&B piece with some kick-ass piano playing. Needless to say, this gets my personal stamp of approval, so go download it.

street beat. turn it up cause you need that bass. every time i hear this i drown in r&b goodness. there's a small section around 2:11 that Defines ecstasy. good call on looping it as the fade-out of the song, McV
