Are you a fan of 3SO's OST?

“Knock you out” sounds horribly repetitve to me now, the character select screen mix is pretty good.

BullDancer · 2011-09-06T05:13:41.000Z

I switched out the “Kna kna Knock you out” and character select screen mix with the OG ones FIRST chance I got…

Straight garbage…

Mr.PaVy-RD:

Correct

Mr.PaVy-RD · 2011-09-06T07:00:03.000Z

doesnt matter but why the hell would they remove those themes? i love Ibuki dudley makotos alex more on the arcade version

RindoukanKarateMan · 2011-09-06T07:05:43.000Z

Elena’s, Ibuki’s, Remys, and Sean/Oro’s,and Uriens are decent/good the rest i don’t to the originals/arranged. But Q’s theme is the worst offender its horrid he fucked that one up hard.

hold_dat · 2011-09-06T17:55:38.000Z

i hope they offer the arcade originals in the next or future dlc’s too…

RoGE9 · 2011-09-07T22:09:07.000Z

I don’t think the remixed songs are that bad, its best to think of them as separate songs and not as remixes imo. Also, I prefer listening to them when I play the game and not on youtube, thats how I am anyway.

i hoped they put this one

I’m honestly taken aback by the seemingly huge backlash the new OST has received. Then again, the remixes are largely a very different direction with tunes that players have grown to love for over a decade, and I suppose I haven’t been ingrained in that generation enough to feel as strongly as others about these new releases. For the most part I enjoy the mixes a fair bunch, some more so than the originals even (eg. Chun-Li, Hugo, Q, Remy and Urien), even if there is a bit of hit and miss for me. I agree Simon Viklund has done better collective works before, but watevs.

Zensouken · 2011-09-11T00:40:24.000Z

Chun’s remix is boss but overall too many tracks sound exactly the same; which is terrible considering how much diversity was in the original.

Mr.X · 2011-09-11T02:09:16.000Z

Where’s the “remixes were awful” option?

I like the original, I like the arranged, I like other remixes I’ve heard, but these are terrible.

Hecatom · 2011-09-11T02:12:31.000Z

where is the option “i dislike both OST”

Kanta-Kun · 2011-09-11T02:12:51.000Z

It’s not that people were “used to the originals” it’s just that in most people’s opinions, the new ones are generic untss untss bad remixes.

And they don’t have the 3rd Strike flavor, like a lot of youtube remixes have.

Well, I thought some of the melodies for 3S were ok, but on the whole it’s a bit samey, and not up to SF2, SFA or SFEX. Having said that:

Alex/Ken - loved the original. This version is badly murdered.
Elena - didn’t like the original. This version is better.
Oro/Sean - reasonable
Urien - wasn’t expecting that. An interesting take on the sound, but average after a few listens
Yang/Yun - the change of style was too extreme for me
Remy - terrible. You’re better with generic 90s Europop
Akuma - liked the original but thought it was repetitive. New one is a bit hard to listen to because of the effects
Ryu - captured the same flavour, but average in every way
Chun - A bit samey again. Didn’t inspire me. Unlike her SF2 piece, nobody in a bar would recognise it
Hugo - slightly character-less, but does seem to fig Hugo’s appearance just about. New version is good but in a different way.
Q -The original didn’t really do anything. This one does no more except add a piano
Makoto - Don’t like either of them
Ibuki - I still haven’t decided if this belongs in a fighting game
Necro/Twelve - pretty boring if you ask me
Dudley - The new one just seems to rely on the hook

My 2p.

Zensouken:

overall too many tracks sound exactly the same; which is terrible considering how much diversity was in the original.

I’d say the opposite on both counts - these are dramatically different, and original 3S didn’t have the diversity of other SF games. With SF2 you really felt you were in India/Brazil/Russia or whatever.

mpikkon · 2011-11-12T03:41:52.000Z

Hugo’s new theme is not bad. I like both versions.

xEGAxBeastkingx · 2011-11-12T03:48:26.000Z

All but Urien’s, Necro’s and maybe Hugo’s is complete garbage IMO. They fucked up Jazzy NYC and Beats in my Head. >:( Not cool yo.

Ibuki’s theme is close to her arcade theme.
What’s wrong with Sean/Oro’s new theme?

Louiscipher · 2011-11-12T10:54:48.000Z

Who in sweet fuck would say yes? If so, they need to stop breathing.

The 3S OST is fucking classic. Instantly likeable, gets you pumped, and incredibly memorable. You could play Elena’s theme at a rave and it’ll be a hit.

yomipower · 2011-11-12T16:18:23.000Z

Actually 3s’s music is pretty forgettable, it’s way too “normal” music and not the video gamey music than in the previous games, I’m mostly talking about melody and stuff. 3s music: add a beat and a melody consisting of three notes, change pitch of rhythm every two seconds, loop it.
