an iconic mixture of styles

i am so asianed suddenly

That gallop! Love the hard rock feel intermixed with all the other flavors you added throughout. Has a JRPG flair to it that I enjoyed as well. I would've loved to hear it somehow crossed with a classic NY Hardcore breakdown. Good stuff!

I'd recognize that *inhales*

guitar anywhere!!

(jesus christ did every arcade game use this guitar soundset like oh my god I just keep hearing it on CPSII/III/NEO-GEO games the more I look)

02FD, only Metal Slug 3 uses this guitar. All the other games you mentioned use different ones.

this is just a fun listen

rock me amadeus

This is epic, you've packed so many beautiful touches into this

everything's better when it's mashed up - cultures, musical genres, seasons too! such good use of instrumentation, and the arrangement never stumbles, like, it just sticks with the theme all the way through, keeps up the energy, gives you little breaks now and then to catch your breath then pulls you along to the next phrase. I can see why this is one you're extra proud of!
