Favorite fighting game music

yep.

Most of the music from GGX/XX. (Surprized no one else posted that.)
Hugo’s music from 3S.
The Ikari team music from KOF 94
CvS 1 music (Both versions).

Definitly the intro of Guilty Gear XX2 Reload. :slight_smile:

I pretty much enjoyed ALL of cvs2’s music, and the ALEX/KEN stage music from 3s as well as ibuki’s

a3 - shin gouki
hf - guile
t5 - moonlit wilderness

Alpha 2 and KOF 96. The soundtracks of these two games are really fantastic and timeless. Nothing comes close after all these years. Also, being a fan of Ive’s music, I’ve got a soft spot for Eternal Fighter Zero’s bgm too, especially the remixed ones in the memorial dvd edition of the game.

Kof2k2 Athena’s psychosoldier theme
kof2000 team korea’s theme
kof2000 AOF theme

GG - Ky vs. Sol’s theme
GG - May’s theme
GG - Still in the Dark

SSF2T - Ken, Guile and Ryu’s theme.

SF2 - Ryu, Ken, Cammy, Guile

CvS2- Yeah, they’re pretty o.k.

3S- Yun/Yang Stage, but just the beginning of it because it reminds me of James Bond.

KOF 95-Kyokugen team stage
KOF 95-Funkyeseka
MSHvSF- Omega Red Theme
MSH- Dr. Doom Stage
Alpha 3- Guy’s Stage
Vampire Hunter- Donovan’s Stage
DOA2-Bass Theme: Yes or Yes
CvS2- Real Eyes, The God Ultimate

  • All SFA2 and All SF3:2ndI music (Except Akuma’s stage music)
  • From SFIII:3rdS: Q’s, Ibuki’s, Ryu’s, Remy’s, Twelve’s/Necro’s
  • From SSF2T: Cammy’s, Sagat’s
  • From SFA3: Guy’s, Balrog’s (the boxer), Rose’s, Juni’s/Juli’s, Fei Long’s

I think the song itself is boring but the intro is great. I like the '95 version much better.

Very unique track. Memorable, and one of my favourites from KOF '96. Also, Goenitz’s BGM, although can get a bit repetitive, is a monster of a song.

Agreed for Rolento’s stage. I’d like to add Sakura’s stage, Sagat’s secret stage (especially the Sega Saturn remix) and Zangief’s. Also, of note is Gen’s stage. Now I’m not a drummer but the drums on that track really stand out for me.

The aforementioned Korea Team BGM, in addtion to Psycho Soldier and Ikari Warriors are all top picks. Out of the KOF soundtracks, with being '94 being my favourite, KOF '95 comes a close second.

Well spotted. The first 5 seconds in are the perfect introduction for the track, which is so incredibly fitting for Rugal.

For me, every track on the KOF '94 OST is incredible.

I recently decided that this was the best KOF '98 track.

We share similar tastes, Geese. Some more of my favourites.

Fatal Fury Special:
Tung: (also the longest FFS track, I think. Beautiful)
Duck

X-Men COTA:
Storm
Omega Red
Wolverine
Psylocke

Art of Fighting 2:
King (genius, and perfect for the stage)
Ryo (probably the inspiration for the KOF '95 BGM)
Robert (remember the SNK habit of inserting bits of random speech into songs? well it’s used here to give a really uh… nice effect: “I had a wonderful time last night, thank you” “I’m glad you did” sigh
Takuma (Taiko(sp) drums?)
John (SNK’s answer to SF2 Guile’s BGM, and imo is way better)
Lee: memorable. The sort of thing you could hum to someone and they’d recognize it right away.
Yuri (the original is far superior to the weak KOF 2K2 remix)

Samurai Showdown 1:
Nakoruru
Charlotte
Galford
Earthquake (show me a more rocking fighting game tune, I double-dare you!)

KOF 97:
Riot of Blood Team: one of the only standout tracks on a pretty forgettable OST. Killer riff that’s instantly recognizable.

SFA1:
Charlie
Chun Li (also, the Sega Saturn remix). Anyone hear the piano version of the SFA1 Chun Li theme? I think it’s in the sound test, but not AFAIK accessible anywhere else on the disk. Recommended.

Darkstalkers series:
Tabain (VH, DS)
Demitri (VH)
Morrigian(DS)
Pyron (DS)
Felicia (the DS version is really good. Everyone must hear it!)
Aulbath (VH) Absolutely beautiful. Go listen!
Raptor (DS)
BBHood (VS)

SF3 - NG:
Elena**
Alex: Nearly brought a tear to my eye the first time I heard it in its entirety.
Sean
Ibuki
Ryu

** Capcom/Alpha Lyra at their finest. Such a cool melody. Could listen to this endlessy.

SFA3:
Guile (moody and serious, a complete departure from the SF2 track)

Question: anyone notice that Garou MOTW’s B.Jenet BGM is very similar to Fatal Fury 1 Duck King’s stage? I haven’t listened to them side by side or anything, but the resemblance was pretty striking.

Yo Middlekick, I think you’re right.

And I friggin forgot Duck Kings FFS music! I love that track, and the background is one of my favorites-actually, FFS had some cool nightlife backgrounds, same with AOF…

And yup, I also like Charlotte’s and Nakorurus music. Good choice!

Now Im going to check out those Darkstalker pics you mentioned, I bet I will like them.

Thanks!

The trance music in “One Must Fall 2097” is probably my favorite ever.

3s-Dudley
3s-Q
3s-Hugo

A favorite of mine has always been the Weaponlord Soundtrack. Especially Zarak’s theme. Hearing that booming out of a stereo while the Warrior’s moon rose during the battle is one of my all time favorite Fighting game moments.

…That game deserves a remake or sequel.

Dark Resurrection
-Snow Cathedral
-Night Rooftop
-Wolf Forest

Oh wow I forgot about Chun Li’s music in SFA1. Chun’s cps1 track is very good as well.

The boss stage of DOA4 was sick.
