Growing up to these beats , playing your best character to Represent!...If you grew up like we did , you know how important the right sound track is for the right character and the right fight , so you know when that theme kicks in you ARE going to kick some serious ass....and thats why I thought making this thread was important.

here are some of my favourite beats... feel free to post your own, or if you want to collect download , help yourself!

ALEX and KEN's SFIII 3rd Strike theme

First time I heard this theme I was in Brooklyn visiting some cousins and they took me to a local arcade, feasted my eyes on SFIII 3rd strike for the first time and fell in love with it. Its jazzy beats more then just put me in the mood for facing some competition , I instantly became a fan of its OST. And now no matter where I am its jazzy beats will always remind me of Newyork and that arcade.


SEAN's SFIII Theme (remixed)

Found this remixed version on youtube and its really great, pretty relaxing and smooth. Sean has always been one of the coolest character to hit the SF scene, sure he another shoto but hes very different and i like his character as hes still a rookie and looks up to ken for guidence...for some reason I always like half baked underdog characters...and sean is just one of them...you know the characters who arent there yet but getting there...know what I mean?



And my All time favourite KOF 95 Rival Team Theme

I will never forget this theme, this theme has become a fighter's anthem for me...KOF95 was the game that pulled me into the fighting game scene...and it will always remain special no matter how old it gets . This theme...the background and the characters it represents will always be epic in my book.


KYO KOF'98 classic version arranged Theme

The best KOF in my opinion was KOF'98, SNK wasnt bankrupted back then , the arcades were still open in karachi and heidern was included in the KOF '98 roster...what more can you ask for?...a brand new Kyo Theme thats uber cool?...OH HELL YEAH!
Listen to this , it starts slow but gets pretty darn good around half way through and will take you by surprise. This has more in comman with Japan team's KOF94 theme then the 96 one which is also my favourite.


KOF 99' Tears (Kyo's Theme)

KOF takes a new turn as the new hero K' is introduced , the next few KOFs will feature K' as the main character while Kyo and Iori take a back seat. The producers were excluding Kyo and Iori from the game because they solely wanted to wrap the story around K and his gang this time but they had to later add Kyo and Iori due to massive fan requests. And that was a good decision. Kyo makes a new apearance in KOF '99 ditching the school uniform for a cool lookin white jacket and faded jeans ... not a high school student anymore but more like a young man in control of his own destiny.
Kyo and Iori are unlockable characters in the arcade version of KOF '99. First time i saw Kyo's new attire I totally fell in love with the leather jacket and the jeans...this theme does justice to the new Kyo...totally fits the character and the mood.

Favourite KOF '99 moment is when you face Kyo and he takes out his old head band and burns it in his hand in front of his opponent before starting the fight showing him that "hes changed...not the same" ...and then this music kicks in...heh.

^ Oh hell yeah!...I remember this. Nice choice dude... I remember I used to play Fatal Fury Wild Ambition when it had come out. That game was epic for me at the time because it goes back to the FF roots. I always remember that the Geese theme was different from his regular theme...the boss battle in this game actually felt like a real boss battle and captured the mood of the fight really well... this theme oozes of Geese Vs Terry epicness!

Sometimes I even put it on when I play Street Fighter

Fatal Fury Wild Ambition (Geese Howard battle Theme)

Its a Trap!
Hyper Street Fighter II Music - CPS2 - Guile Stage
All the themes mentioned by the guys above are great, but nothing compares to the mother of all character themes - the Guile theme. After all, it goes with everything. You can play it in weddings, in funerals, during dance performances, bear ads, disney movies, and just about everything else.
Its like God himself made this theme to make man's life awesome. It makes everything better. Sephiroth killing Aeris? Better with Guile's theme. Warahk ragequitting? Better with Guile's theme. Solid snake getting tortured? Yup. Better with Guile's theme.



The following themes can't compare to the godlike Guile theme, but they're still good:

Marvel VS Capcom was my first proper fighting game on console, and one I still play to this day. It has the best music out of any of the Vs games, and listening to the BGM of MvC3 in videos, I don't think it has to worry about its crown getting taken away. In fact, the artstyle, the characters and the moves in that game were so iconic that I probably will love the first Marvel till the day I die.

Spiderman Theme - Marvel VS Capcom
Something about this theme always yelled 'Superhero!' to me. I don't think this theme is inspired from any other Spiderman theme before it (not counting previous VS games), but it suits Spidey so well.


Ryu Theme - Marvel VS Capcom
I like this theme because instead of taking Ryu's SFII theme for inspiration, it took SFII's own opening theme and remixed it.


Morrigan's Theme - Marvel VS Capcom
I can't describe this theme... its sweet and upbeat, but at the same time fits Morrigan's seductive style too well. It just made playing against Morrigan awesome in MvC (I didn't play any females in MvC). I get the same vibe listening to this as I get from Cammy's theme.

Tekken 5: DR is my favorite Tekken game, and the new stages they added into the game also had some new BGM.

Snow Castle BGM - Tekken 5: DR
This one's my favorite and I think its an improvement over DVJ's previous theme in T5. I love it because of the female chorus and the guitar riffs.

Moonlit Wilderness - Tekken 5: DR
My second favorite theme from DR.

Bloody Roar 2 was my favorite 3D fighter on the PSOne and I loved every second of it. While the music was great, I wouldn't say any of the themes were so exceptional that I would hear them outside of the game. But there was one theme that always pumped me up whenever I heard it, and that was Bakuryu's.


Blazblue's soundtrack is loved by many people. I love it too, but again, its not something I would listen to on my iPod wile travelling. Its great, its awesome, and I enjoy it in the game. But that's about it. My two favorite themes in the game are the most over-the-top themes in any fighting game.

First is Taokaka's Catus Carnival. I love how silly yet catchy it is. Becomes even more catchy when Tao starts singing along.

My second favorite theme is the next best thing since Guile's theme. Just listening to it grows hair on your chest. Nothing else to say but BANG-BANG BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG

Its a Trap!
Replaying SFEX2+ on my PSP.
Its not as lame as I remember it was. Heck, the controls are almost as responsive as SFIV. And the combos and cancels are easy to do too.
It is a pretty good game. Sad part is PSP has only 6 buttons, so I can't do those PPP and KKK presses for the Level 3 Supers. :(
I wish it was on PSN

Hmm... Just been bored of playing SSF4 , cant wait for SF3 :TS on PSN , ive already started preparing for the move from SF4 down to SF3.

One of the major contributing factor to me liking SF3 so much is probably because of its amazing sound track and presentation. It has a more American feel to it as opposed to SF2 and SF4 ( cept for the sf3 characters, capcom has done a splendid job with their fight themes ), Ive lived a good portion of my life abroad and playing SF3 : 3rd strike at the arcades was probably one of the best arcade experiences of my life ... I've had lots of nostalgic moments with this game , cant wait for it to come out on PSN. Its sound track is probably one of the best ever in fighting game history.




EDIT :

@ UsmanSarwar

Great find : Tekken 5 Intro dude

ahem.. did any1 noticed my Soundtrack list?? (WGAF)
ofcourse, Thats a proper trip down the memory lane... awesome find dude! :D... specially Goenitz one.
I reposted the SF3 3rd strike opening theme since on-page playback was disabled on the link you provided. :D

Also , I like the other Tekken 5 opening theme better, Sparkin that jst sounds like a WWE song to me. But I've had friends who go crazy over that song , just a matter of preference i guess. Makoto theme is top notch. :D

Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
