Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection lands SOON, and I've been dusting off my trusty flowchart Ken in anticipation - this should be the definitive handheld SF experience (on Switch), if nothing else. Here to help get us psyched & realize our Ken is newcomer That Headband Guy (Mike Stevenson) with an energetic, 2'33" hard rock + chiptune anthem:
"Shoryuken! Ken's theme from the legendary Street Fighter 2. A typical "THG" metal arrangement - starts with the theme, builds to an original rhythm/solo (while keeping in the confines of the source material) and resolves back to theme. Production-wise, no notable faults that are picked up by my ear. Your experience may vary, which is fine!
For the solo section, I was going for a very 80's Yngwie Malmsteen keyboard versus guitar - typically operating around D harmonic minor, which gives it a classical-esque flair."
The non-solo bits play it pretty close to a straight-up rock cover, but the chip/guitar showdown injects a good deal of personalization. Which one's Ryu and which one's Ken? Doesn't matter, it's hot. Nutritious sums it up:
"Keeps it very conservative at the beginning, but the arrangement fleshes out more in the second section with the synth/guitar solos and some variation on the progression of the song. Would've liked to hear still more development on the arrangement side since the track is pretty short (2:33) and spends a good chunk of the time covering the original melody (though with different backing).
Performance is excellent. Drum writing is energetic and varied. Ending was sadly a bit underwhelming, but this is fun take on a classic track."
Ditto all that; it's Ken, so perhaps one expects a little "flowchart arranging," but Mike does plenty with the solo sections to change things up & create some combos, and the backing makes intuitive but still well-executed modifications for the genre. It's quick, it hits hard, it rocks out, and it's blond with black eyebrows. Last bit broke the metaphor just a tad; either way, strong & well-timed debut from That Headband Guy - hope to hear more, and I'll be playing this one every day until SF30 graces us with its presence!

That guitar vs keyboard section was sick and really spiced up the ReMix. Sometimes a good tune getting fine-tuned with a dash of cool ideas is all you need, and this was a great example of that. Nice work.
