This one was a bit of a coin toss for me. This version’s mostly chiptune, and there’s another version of the song on the album: Beatdown (Strider Style). In the second half of that version, though, some choppy audio effects detract from it, rather than adding to the beat. Great mix-master energy in both versions, either way,

It’s a different take on the two source songs, but one that abandoned the best part of each, I think. It plays as though it’s building up to a payoff that never really comes.
