  It’s the Metroid Prime theme. It’s going to be either a fast 6/4 or a slow 6/8.

    listening to the video someone else posted I would absolutely call that 6/8, especially with that strong downbeat on the 1.

      What’s the difference between 6/4 and 6/8 to you, apart from the tempo?

        6/4 I’d call three groups of two, 6/8 two groups of three, but also context is important- a lot of modern writers tend to write in semis and demis, where even 50 years ago they would write in quavers and crotchets.

        Also, some jigs and hornpipes are written in 3/2 so YMMV.
