What if Mick Gordon did Season 3's/3.5's soundtrack? What would his version sound like?

We all know Mick Gordon did a fantastic job with Killer Instinct Season 1 and Season 2, even allowing himself to make one final secret song via Herald of Gargos’ epiologue. Which sorta felt like his farewell song given how melancholy it was.

But I always wondered, what would Mick Gordon’s version of Season 3 sound like?

How different would’ve he made Tusk’s, Kim Wu, Mira, Rash, General Raam, Arbiter, Gargos, Eyedol-etc themes and so on compared to Celldweller and Atlas Plug’s versions? This mystery always fascinated me as we’ll never truly know.

If he did work on Season 3’s OST, do you think it would sound Any different than what we currently have? What direction would he take for the characters?

FURTHER MORE, What would’ve happened if Atlas Plug and Celldweller did Season 1 and 2 soundtrack also? What would their version of Jago or Fulgore’s theme sound like? Among other characters like Orchid, Thunder TJ Combo or Spinal?

Ngl would’ve been cool if they added something like that as a “Every character gets TWO theme songs: one by Mick the other by AP&CD.” Really making good use of the “Chararcter Theme Selector” during Stage Select.

Idk guys, this question seems to bother me latley, as I am very curious what differences the two groups would make compared to eachother.

Frankly I love both soundtracks, but it does make me wonder….. @UltraSupport @Fwufikins @KevBones10 @SkullBangaXB @UltraZeroX7 @Bodiedbykim @Iago407 @Evolution @G1GlaciusPrime @Kanae_Uzumaki

It is a good question in terms of how Mick would have done 3 and 3.5. Tusk, personally I’d like to think it would be his classic KI2 theme, but orchestral and with lyrics added to the KI2 theme.

Imagine this, but with a Viking choir:

Eyedol, I really like what was done for his theme with the 80s synth.

Gargos’ theme, Mick kind of did it in Omen’s theme, which was awesome, but I would have loved to have heard his take. Gargos’ Season 3 theme, while technically was a remix of his KI2 theme, it felt waaaay too fast and rushed, not as menacing as it could have been. Maybe more of a horror influence perhaps?

Kim Wu’s, not a bad remix of her KI2 theme imo.

Mira’s theme was okay, but I think more could have been done to convey the fact she was Maya’s corrupted sister imo. It was interesting hearing some of the Russian influences in the song such as Shostakovich, but Mira as a character is South American, so, in theory, that aspect should have been present in the song imo.

Eagle’s okay.
