[...] Capcom had been preparing an updated version of
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for the Xbox Live Arcade
and PlayStation Store. The update, called Super
Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, is a look back at
one of the most popular and well-received iterations
of the franchise, with all new art and
high-definition backgrounds. The OC ReMix crew was
then given a job that was perfectly suited to its
talents: creating new and rethought versions of some
of the Street Fighter repertoire, which contains some
of the best-known themes in gaming, for this updated
release. [...]
Let's discuss this news.
Or, let's just talk about your favorite arrangements.
As for me, I think this is kind of cool, but it can go wrong very, very easily.
I guess I'm afraid that the new mixes won't capture the "spirit" of Street Fighter.
Also, apparently they've included the arrangement of Vega's (jp: Balrog's) theme from "Blood on the Asphalt"?!

In my opinion, that doesn't fit that character at all.
But, maybe they'll remove the vocals.
I guess I'll wait to see how it all pans out.
Unrelated to this, one arranger I particularly like is Star Salzman.

I especially like the vocals in some of his arrangements.
For example, his Chrono Trigger arrangement, "Forever Until Tomorrow", and his Xenogears arrangement, "Pillar of Salt".
