orkybash Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike 'Jungle Jazz' It's McVaffe - what do you expect? Quality, that's what! This remix starts with a well-played (or VERY well synthesized) piano solo, then adds jungle drum loops on top of it. Personally, I liked the piano better than the drum loops, as the drums sounded like every other jungle loop. But overall, another winner from McVaffe. Recommended.

AlwaysAlone Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Fist of all, I would like to say 15/10. This is my number one, all time favorite remix, ever. This remix has changed my life....well...not really, but I bet it could. I have no idea what draws it to me, but...just...nyah. I could, and would listen to this all the time, but then it'd get boring and I'd have to kill myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dita Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 We need more Street Fighter 3 remixes on this site. Good job McVaffe as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Noodle Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 OH MY GOD THIS REMIX IS THE BEST REMIX EVER!!!! The jungle beats, played with brushes, put through some strange FX filter, and just normal are AWESOME! The piano, simple as it is, adds so much! Those chimes, the organ-type thing, the acoustic bass, it all just rules! My favorite remix on the site, or damn close seeing as how I don't think you can really compare EVERY song on the site. Some are just plain wierd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incrediblebj Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Gee, another hit from McVaffe that's new. (note sarcasm) Haven't played Street Fighter 3, but the soundtrack was just absoluttely delicious. Namely Ken/Alex's stage, Akuma's, Ibuki, and Elena. They would make for excellent remixes also... (hint hint) Overall I loved this track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingLukeXIV Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 That was a great song that you remixed. When ever I learn to remix a song I will remix Dudley's London Stage Song with the typical Street Fighter Dance beat but with Seventeenth Century Baroque too though along with possibly some R&B and Soul-like Wa-wa guitar perhaps maybe.

Mustin Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 One of the best mixes on the site, and definitely my favourite McVaffe mix. An incredible arrangement. Please download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryudo_of_Destiny Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I enjoyed it. That's the bottom line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trenthian Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 This ones burned onto my carjam set, disc 3 of 10 and 5 of 10. Those are the two discs i listen to most often. and its prolly in part due to this wonderful mix. I love the flavor. True timbral mastery. I remember thinking when i first listened, it was at the beggining and i was think "Man, this mix would be so much better with a wider stereo spectrum, and then Boom! its wide and raping my ears. ::sigh:: Mixing game music a pastime most wonderful fear this sonic love.

herograw Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 this is one of those mixes that i try my best NOT to play, for fear that i might play it too much and get burned out on it. however, i must admit that the temptation to stick it by itself in a playlist and loop it (literally, for hours) is quite a formidable one. download immediately. this mix is exceptional, even for mcvaffe. -rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Ten Doh Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I agree, this mix is hella good, but saying it's the best McVaffe is kind of defeating the point. McVaffe's mixes are like Skittles. The more you've got going, the better the flava. Some, like DevilSLAB, Underground Riddims, Crystalline Caverns, and the like, absolutely must be heard in succession, as their quality and professionalism seem to shine through when you're not 100% ready for it. Take Crystalline Caverns. I had that one on a burned CD, and I hadn't listened to the mix for about a month. When it came on, I had no idea what song it was remixing, so the whole thing sounded like an original composition. Then the main cavern melody came in and I was immediately overjoyed. That is what the entire experience of OCR is, my friends; not expecting much, (from McVaffe? riiiiight) and getting a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blak_Omen Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 This. Best. Groovy. Remix. On. Site. Yes, it's GOOD - not just "okay" or "great". It's GOOD . The piano is perfect (LOVE the intro), the percussion is great, everything just fits and grooves so excellently as you'd expect and even more from the V man himself. You can do so many things with this remix: make a short movie, pull it out from Gran Turismo (something in this reminds me of GT music, dunno what), burn it onto a CD that is worthy of it, download it, chill to it, dance to it, show off to your mates with it....it's hella good. Hella. One of my favourite mixes ever. Ever. One Word ReView : DOWNLOADITNOWORI'LLKILLYOU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 A very very tasty mix. I wish I knew the original. I've found my new favourite genre. Jazz/Jungle fusion. One of my favourite OCR tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 This is most likely the greatest remix in existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brim Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Wow, at first I was a bit reluctant to download this song but I was like "Oh, what the hell, it IS Street Fighter" and then I listened and BAM. Its the greatest mix ever. Super-original, nice instruments and just plain awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordex Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Oh hell yes! More jazz from McV! Nice piano intro then you hear this sweet drum track and want more then it comes in along with a nice jazz style rhythm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunderMan Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 This actually sounds a lot like Mocean Worker. Which in my opinion is a good thing. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shwenky Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Nice! Good job bringing elements of Drum and Bass into the song. That made the song a lot better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoyaku Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Love it... to death... Good smooth and nicely paced.. and I'm a big fan of the Amen Break so.. you had me from the start.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Spram Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 This is the best McVaffe remix in this site by far. Very good, one of the best here. DOwnload it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 (looks at date) 2002! Wow, it sounds too good to come from that time. There aren't too many DnB remixes here, and I should probably look deeper. This is a very good example of the soulful, jazzy DnB style known as Liquid Funk, and now that I found it I can't stop putting it on repeat. I would seriously consider mixing this in a DJ set.

Martin Penwald Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I love this ReMix! It reminds me of the very chilly and smooth tracks of Ridge Racer Type 4, one of my favorite Chill-Out games. When the song starts, and you just hear the piano, you don't expect too much, but then at 1:03, the beats start to come. And when the melody of the Makoto stage kicks in at 1:56, the feeling is just perfect. And then the more chilly part from 2:19 on...and the faster one starting at 2:42... Just great.

Goten X Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 OK. I'm not going to sit here and go threw saying "I loved when the (blank) came in at (blank)", because there is NO need for it for this song. Hands down, one of the most kick ass mixes here. That is all. |GX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmiduke Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 McVaffe piano is the fastest way to tip a mix over the edge from good to the shit. I'm not sure if I would class this as jazz, personally, but I can hear the influence through the DnB. Everything sounds stellar (especially given its age). McVaffe is an expert at sustaining material for vast amounts of time without anything getting stale around the edges, and by this stage he seemed to be right in his element. Well chosen and placed instrumentation (crunchy distorted percussion for the win!) and consistent arranging is something that was/is pretty much guaranteed by a McVaffe mix. This is a great addition to his playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
