You attacked both the person who arranged the songs and the person in charge of quality control. Those are insults.

Welcome to the internet.
This is not Creative Commons, and negative feedback is not taboo here. If you're quailing and afraid of people saying
mean things about yours or someone else's work, you may as well go hold these discussions on OCR's own boards where you can coddle one another and delete any posts that even hint of negativity.
That said, my impressions of the remix project as a whole: as expected, hit and miss, much like what you find on OCR in general.
The blind hatred of rap/hip hop is pretty irrational (even though the bulk of those genres ARE total crap), and I thought it worked for Blanka's theme quite well. Deejay's theme transitioned surprisingly well too, even though I don't really care for rap at all. Wasn't quite as appropriate for Vega, though. T. Hawk's theme was really nicely done. The idea of writing an entire remix around the high score jingle is hilarious, in a good way.
The low points: Chun-Li's theme felt more like the artists were trying to compose
around the original song, like it was an obstacle. Minus points to the same artists for ruining all the nice chords in Cammy's theme, too. Guile and Zangief's theme are both just awful; calling it "trance" is not a free ticket to be lazy with a synthesizer.
Akuma's theme was okay, but God help me, the usage of percussion there made me think it sounded like the soundtrack to hardcore porn.
And one overarching critique, that applies to the good tracks as well as the bad. With a compilation title like "Blood on the Asphalt", you'd expect that all the tracks would be songs you could cue up in place of the original soundtrack and beat someone's ass with. This is why people are rightly fingering Fei Long's theme as the standout track in this collection. Most of the tracks are too darn
slow.
