Let S Listen Street Fighters 2 Zangief Theme Exten
Street Fighter IV The original Street Fighter IV is packed with awesome music: Drive-in at Night.
Snowy Rail Yard.
Old Temple.
Beautiful Bay.
Volcanic Rim aka the song of one of the trailers and in many ways the theme of IV itself.
Small Airfield.
Deserted Temple.
Crimson Viper's theme.
Abel's theme.
Seth's theme, which better be awesome due to how often you'll be hearing it...
El Fuerte's theme, a very energetic and traditional sounding theme for the chef Luchador himself!
Rufus' theme, which could count as more Funny Music with Rufus' Kiais in the background.
THIS IS WAAAAAAR...!
Gouken's theme, a Triumphant Reprise of Akuma's theme.
Bison's remixed theme deserves mention. The heroic intro, the bizarre, techno riff thrown in at 0:13, and the epic way his main theme is introduced all tells you that this song belongs to a man who's very existence is fundamentally WRONG.
The Ryu vs. Akuma rival theme is potentially the most epic version of Ryu's theme to date. It paints a perfect picture of the final battle between the two warriors.
Guile's theme. It's all of the man's grief, depression, and suffering boiled down into audio form which, once again, goes with everything.
While Sagat's theme is missing the aggression of his past self, it makes up for that with Thai instruments and ambience. It's perfect for the Emperor of Muay Thai who finally realized that revenge is meaningless and that there should only be honor on the battlefield.
The newest version of Cammy's theme, thanks in part to that guitar.
And who could forget about "Jazzy Russia", Zangief's theme. Notable for being frequently reported for saxual content.
Ken and Sakura, anyone?
Rose's theme sounds like the Herald for Doomsday. But face it; if you could listen to such a song as fierce and graceful as the woman herself while the world was going up in flames, you would.
While Street Fighter Alpha 3 brought us "The Way to the Glory," a victory track full of the supreme awesomeness that can only come of having thoroughly kicking someone's ass eight ways to Sunday, Street Fighter IV brought out the a track that completely and totally takes your confidence and says, you are NOT in the clear, yet. Yet it remains INCREDIBLY worthy of the Crown of Awesome.
While a lot of folks didn't like it at first, many fans now think the main theme from SFIV "The Next Door" by Japanese male pop group Exile was pretty badass. Fan-favorite is putting it mildly for this song because the crowd in EVO 2014 sang along to it.
The song used in advertisements, "War" by Sick Puppies, is equally badass, with a segment of fans complaining that it wasn't used in the game proper. There's also a version with an extended intro.
The extremely catchy Training Stage theme. It's lively and energetic, making it the perfect song to workout to. Coincidentally, that's exactly what the fighters are doing too.
Super Street Fighter IV adds some brand new remixes. Here's Dee Jay's theme, which gives off a Santana-style vibe.
Cody's theme, based off of the original Final Fight intro theme, now made about 60% Darker and Edgier and 40% more tragic.
Hakan's theme, unfortunately not as fast-paced and funny as his reveal trailer theme. Still good, though. On the subject of said trailer, it counts as both Awesome and Funny Music, since (in the words of someone else) you are watching Hakan "violate" most of SF history while a singing Yakko Warner is serenading you.
Ibuki's theme, given the title of "Jazzy Kyoto."
Adon's theme is about as metal as you can get in Street Fighter IV. The characters who didn't have a theme in the original SFIV get some awesome music as well: here is the best version of Vega's theme ever made.
Balrog's theme which sounds something akin to a Daft Punk song. It has been christened "FUCK YO' DIGNITY" as a Take That! to Dudley, his rival.
Here's Gen's, which the kind of theme you don't want to hear in a dark corner of China.
Seth gets a brand-new theme to go with his new stage (which is, coincidentally, a post-destruction version of his old stage). It's agreed unanimously that it is a lot better than his old theme.
Juri's theme, in all its horror thanks to the screams you can hear in the background.
THIS IS A STUPID DOPE MIX! NOW GET ON THE DANCE FLOOR, KEEP IT CLASSY, AND LET'S FIGHT LIKE GENTLEMEN!
Guy's theme, christened "Jazzy Metro" to combat Zangief's "Jazzy Russia."
Fei Long's theme, which combines hard rock and one hell of a Chinese violin/flute one-two punch. Finally, people can stop mistaking it for Rufus' theme.
Dan's theme. Retro funk Saikyo groove!
Makoto's theme. Not quite as "Spunky" as before, but good nevertheless.
Listening to Blanka's theme with its drum, bass, and bongos makes you think that he's landed in a Mega Man game and shit is going to get real.
T. Hawk's theme. Viva Native America!
Korea. Don't forget the new stage music! Also, Solar Eclipse, India and last, but not least, the awesome Metro City stage theme, Skyscraper Under Construction.
The Trial Stage theme, which sounds like an awesome Mega Man boss theme.
The credit roll theme. The vanilla SFIV version, though it was also a medley of the themes, just used the actual stage themes mostly unchanged. The Super version, however, keeps them stylistically similar and it flows much better.
The trial theme.
Arcade Edition gives us more new themes. There are two remixed versions of "Crowded Street" to go with each twin. Here's Yun's version, which is very fast paced and aggressive, more akin to the New Generation and Third Strike versions of the theme.
And Yang's version. Much slower and calm, comparable to the Second Impact versions of the theme.
Evil Ryu's theme, a Dubstep fusion remix of Ryu and Akuma's themes, representing the corruption of the Satsui no Hadou within Ryu.
Oni's theme, a more evil sounding, techno-metal remix of Akuma's theme.
Ultra gives us even more. Rolento's Theme, instead of the Bay Area theme from Alpha, is now a remix of his original boss theme from Final Fight, where you battle him on the Skyscraper Elevator.
Poison's Theme has a jazzy, seductive feel to it, yet leaves you with the feeling that there's something off about it.
Hugo's Theme, a fusion of The Circuit from Third Strike and Bottoms Up from 2nd Impact.
Elena's Theme, a trance-like remix of Beats in My Head, her theme from Third Strike, with hints of Tomboy, her 2nd Impact theme, thrown into the mix.
Decapre's Theme, a rather somber-sounding theme reminiscent of Alpha 3's compositions.
The Jurassic Era Research Facility theme sounds adventurous, and gets even better once the near-KO segment kicks in.
Pit Stop 109's theme may be out of place in East Asia, but otherwise, it's got a Wild West feel to it, which, if taking only the name and trucks into account, is fitting.
The Half Pipe theme, you can't help singing along to the lyrics proclaiming that "This is our war, Street Fighter IV."
Street Fighter V The character select theme for the vanilla version, one of the first tracks in the game to be heard by the general public, is pretty hype. Though dropped in Arcade Edition as the main character select theme, the theme persists as the character select theme for the Street Fighter V route in Arcade Mode.
M. Bison's reveal trailer gives us Prepare for the End, an intense tune with an epic scope.
The stage music, as usual. The first stage BGM to be unveiled was Forgotten Waterfall (New Zealand), an adventurous theme with an incredible sense of wonder to it. The version that plays during round 1 features a unique flute segment that adds a distinct "frontier" feel.
Hillside Plaza (Brazil), which accurately reflects the vibrant party atmosphere of Brazil.
Bustling Side Street (China), specifically when round two hits. This was used in a lot of early trailers for the game, and it's easy to see why.
Kanzuki Estate (Japan), which has an awesomely dramatic and traditional feel to it.
Union Station (England), a rocky orchestra theme, evoking the very best of British rock and roll, with so much energetic and epicness, especially round 2.
Underground Arena (Russia), instead of having the usual style one may expect from a stage set here, goes with something that's electronic, upbeat, and wouldn't feel out of place in Tekken.
Apprentice Alley (India) melds traditional and modern styles together for one energetic piece.
Lair of the Four Kings starts with a theme that instills a sense of ominous dread, and switches to one that gives a feeling of a desperate fight.
Air Force Base (USA), because Guile is too awesome for just one remix of his theme.
High Roller Casino (Las Vegas, USA), a club remix of Balrog's theme used for this recreation of his original SF2 stage.
Kanzuki Beach (Japan). Jazzy and upbeat, just the kind of thing you want to hear on a tropical paradise.
Ring of Destiny is an excellent rocking remix of the main theme which this time makes you feel ready to fight someone with epic proportions. There is also an alternate version.
Skies of Honor (Dubai, UAE), a reinterpretation of Rashid's theme that fits perfectly with the mood of the stage: soaring through the skies of Dubai at sunset on Rashid's private jet. The alternate version has lyrics that perfectly describe the situation.
Spooky Arena (Russia), appropriately ominous and twisted.
The original version of Temple Hideout (Thailand), M. Bison's legendary stage from SF2, gets an orchestral, ambient remix of his theme. Note the "original" description, as the theme contains the infamous Quran prayer sound byte which was removed from the Fire Temple theme and got the game Kakuto Chojin banned from being sold past the initial release. Capcom had to remove the stage from the in-game shop to edit the song. Here's the updated version without the chant.
And now Vega joins his fellow Shadaloo cohorts in getting a remake of his original SF2 stage, along with what may very well be the most epic remix of his classic theme yet, featuring a duel between Spanish guitar and electric bass that can only be described as beautiful. Ladies and gentlemen, Flamenco Tavern (Spain).
Ring of Pride has a subtle tension to it. It makes the battles on it feel like the climax of a big event. Appropriate, considering that the stage was chosen to be used for the finals of EVO 2017.
Metro City Bay Area (USA), a rocking blast from the past that combines both themes of the stage into one smooth medley. The first round plays the signature theme associated with the stage, which became Rolento's theme in Alpha 2. The second round switches things up to the origin of Abigail's theme in this game, the second half of the stage.
Now Cammy joins in on the stage remake fun with English Manor (England), offering a completely different feeling from her actual theme via clever use of a medieval lute to complement the castle setting.
Heralding the return of one of the most popular characters in the franchise, Kasugano Residence (Japan) remixes Sakura's theme to sound more mellow but no less confident and upbeat, reminding us that though she may be older, Sakura is still the cheerful individual we all know and love.
Ring of Power, a perfect theme for a battle being overseen by the Four Kings of Shadaloo themselves. It gives off very strong anime opening vibes. The Alternative mix ramps up the pace and makes it sound even more epic.
Sagat's old stage from Street Fighter II, King's Court, gets a remix that gives off a very aggressive and powerful vibe befitting the King of Muay Thai. It even manages to mix in his theme from Street Fighter and make it work with his new theme.
Ring of Prosperity sounds like something out of Darkstalkers mixed with the Street Fighter series' traditional techno, fitting for the colosseum where fighters engage in combat for Gill's amusement. The Alternative mix gives the track more speed and intensity by adding more electronic elements.
Rival Riverside perfectly captures the music style of Rival Schools, with its stylish synth groove and hard rock elements, as if it came straight from the '90s. The Alternative mix adds more techno elements that still keep it faithful to the original franchise. And if that's not enough, if any player is low on health, the fast-paced remix of the first game's opening, "Atsui Kodou", starts playing, hitting hard with nostalgia.
The game's main menu theme during the first two beta phases was quite heroic and epic.
As usual, the character themes are top notch. Ryu's theme, now with a mixture of both orchestra and rock, similar to his Alpha theme.
Chun-Li's theme is once again very traditionally Chinese, but like Ryu has a very heavy orchestrated rock sound, making it more heroic and determined sounding than past versions. (Come to think of it, her theme comes with the cool kung fu fighting music!)
Charlie Nash's theme, a darker remix of his Alpha theme. Static distortions, synthesized drums, and an ominous distorted guitar crescendo every so often paint a horrifying picture of a man brought back from death.
M. Bison's theme still has a techno feel to it, but it's more aggressive this time instead of trance-like, showing that this time, he's going all-out. (Come to think of it, that seems to be a pattern with returning characters here.)
Birdie's theme calls back to his roots as a British punk rocker, with a very grimy remix of his old theme from SFI and the Alpha series. Very befitting of his newfound slob status.
Cammy's theme is much faster paced than before with an energetic electronic rock sound backing a classy piano riff.
Ken's theme, one of the first character theme samples that Capcom released during development. And it rocks hard and fast, perhaps the most blood-pumping his theme has ever been.
Necalli's theme. Heavy horns, ominous choir stings, and powerful jungle percussion create a fittingly ominous theme for this new frightening monster who brings a certain vibe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure villainy to Street Fighter. "Soul Destroying Darkness" indeed.
Vega's classic theme is darker and more sinister sounding than ever, with an undercurrent of madness behind the vanity. It has a very cinematic orchestra sound to it, with a lot of cellos, Spanish guitar and flamenco sounds.
R. Mika's theme, a reinterpretation of her theme from Alpha 3, "Prismatic Stars", given a Puroresu-style treatment. It sounds like something you'd hear in Virtua Fighter.
Rashid's theme, a fast-paced Arabesque dubstep piece befitting a man known as the "Turbulent Wind". It starts out almost sounding like ARIA's theme, ".execute" from Killer Instinct, but about a minute in, a Tokusatsu chorus kicks in and it gets awesome. RAAAAA-SHIIIII-DOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Karin's theme is as elegant as you'd expect from her, with a very jazzy and classy sound. It even includes a sample of her Alpha 3 theme, which was one of the most popular tracks on that game's OST, toward the middle.
Zangief's theme, a triumphant, military orchestra-style remix of his iconic SF2 theme to let you know that the Red Cyclone is back and ready to protect the Russian skies once again.
Laura's theme, an upbeat Berimbau-style tune with electro elements.
Dhalsim's theme, a more mystical, rock remix of his SF2 theme, sounding like something you'd hear from The Beatles. It combines elements of his original theme and his often-overlooked theme from Alpha 2.
F.A.N.G's theme has a very laid-back, Austin Powers feel to it. It's a jazzy techno track with many Chinese elements abound, but midway through the song, the sound begins to twist and warp, fading in and out at random, emulating the feeling of being poisoned.
Alex's theme returns with an updated funky urban rock sound. He's Back!!
Guile's theme, now with Eric Clapton/Carlos Santana-esque riffs to rock out even more, and it still goes with everything.
Ibuki's theme is a lot more intense this time around, where it was previously very quiet, making battles with her much more exciting.
Balrog's theme has also gone up in intensity from IV and samples his Alpha 3 theme to make him sound a lot more foreboding and violent.
Urien's theme starts out with a fanfare of sinister-sounding strings and drums accompanied by a foreboding choir that gives off Final Boss vibes, fitting for a leader of the organization that orchestrated Shadaloo's downfall and will play a villainous role in the future, with a piece of his Third Strike theme "Crazy Chili Dog" playing in the background. But after about a minute in, an electric guitar kicks in to accompany the orchestra in playing the starting part of "Crazy Chili Dog", celebrating Urien's long-awaited return to the series.
Juri's theme is a calmer sounding mix of her IV theme, but with hints of a sinister tone that are heard as the song plays.
Akuma's theme. Potentially the weakest rendition of Akuma's theme, but there's no denying that the electronic pulsing seems to invoke the power of the Satsui no Hado that is slowly taking over Akuma completely, and will more than deliver as a backing track to any fight involving the Raging Demon.
Kolin's theme is a mysterious sounding piece that starts off peaceful, with chanting and some light drums, but eventually steps up in intensity, with a guitar joining in and the drums getting louder and louder. Fitting for her, since the Mood-Swinger Kolin can become extremely scary if you defy the prophecy of Gill.
Ed's theme is a rap song with a catchy beat and lyrics that detail his backstory, fear of being taken over by Bison, and drive to fight against the odds.
Abigail's theme is a heavy metal song that both figuratively and literally screams tough while occasionally throwing in bits of his original boss theme from Final Fight.
Menat's theme, a slow guitar piece with a mystical ambiance to it that grows in intensity as the song progresses, conveying the character's underlying power that is shrouded beneath an air of mystery and playfulness.
Zeku's theme, a combination of jazz and traditional Japanese instruments (similar to Guy's theme in IV), became a quick fan favorite, with some saying that it wouldn't be out of place in a Lupin III intro. In addition, right before the song loops, it begins the transition with a nod to the beginning of Strider Hiryu's theme, giving more evidence to the theory that Zeku is the founder of the Strider organization.
Sakura's theme is a laid-back remix of her Alpha 2 theme, perfect for a schoolgirl who's finally moved into adulthood.
Blanka's theme, an even wilder remix of his classic SF2 theme that has a mixture of tranquilit
