This is the bassline. I believe it repeats throughout the
entire piece. But it's way too freakin' fast for me.

So I play this instead. :)
After one bar of the baseline+drums, the whole piece kicks in.
This is when the high lead comes in. I've left out the h's and
p's this time because frankly, I can't even play that fast.
Try switching the notes to different strings maybe to make it
easier. The notes on the 4th string are the "bell" notes that
play with the lead.

… for some reason I though the “o” would be an acronym for something else, but then I remember that’s why its called T.O., which I still don’t get because Toronto is one word, then again it could be Toronto. Ontario…
what other games have good songs that can be played on the guitar?
.
This guy has the tabs for Adon’s Alpha 2 theme and Kyo’s theme from 96 and 98.
Ok, here's my take at Blanka theme.
I'm just transcribing from a .MOD, so if the guy made the .MOD wrong,
this will be wrong. But it sounds right to me. >shrugs<
I dunno if the octaves are correct, but the notes are exactly the same
as in the mod. You might wanna try playing them on different strings
or somewhere else in the neck to maybe get a better sound.
For some reason I don't like mixing the 2 high strings with lead on
an acoustic unless I can help it.. meh..

Have fun with that last part! ^_^ The p's and h's are really
fast.
I might pick out the strings later. It would be really cool
if I could get them into chords and play along with my buddies..
Again, it might be easier to play or sound better if you try it
on different strings or something. Play around with the notes.
Nice one DM… Anyway, I revised/extended a few of mine. And does anybody have contact details for Drag?

^ Nice job. Are you gonna do Dee Jay next? I guess since he’s musical and all…
I think that’s the problem. Instead of finding SF players who like the guitar, we should be finding guitar players who like SF! Simply put, the mass-market traffic effect far outnumbers the small gaming niche.
Look at it this way: shoryuken.com officially has popularity rank 57,485 on the web. In comparison, harmony-central.com has 4,698, and tabcrawler.com has 2,771.
With this in mind, I’ve submitted a rough version of what we have so far to taborama.com, and once I’ve got to grips with DM’s versions, (and if he doesn’t mind), I’ll include them and submit the whole finished product to the biggest archive.
I just got the powertab of the theme tune and it’s fuckin dead on.
Im a really competent guitarist - 5 years of playing , pretty sick set up , though i play avant garde , sonic youth type stuff [ie shit sound for japanese lead guitar type stuff] , im not too good at tabbing sadly
however i can say - for all this stuff don’t use the open strings , try tabbing stuff around the 5 position …
Werebouts’ are those other midi-powertab files??
thanks!
I found a few recordings.
Scroll down for Guile and Cammy, and some Guilty Gear:

DM: I have Dee Jay tab covered (coming soon). Do you wanna do Hawk?
Mistake above: I meant to say Ryu stage, and not WW…
And it looks like that bloke has SFA Dan and Nash recorded as well:

Only ST Akuma remains. And the end sequences.
I’ll have to bookmark this thread. Lots of stuff to digest, but hopefully I can contribute something. Cool stuff!
Since my last posting, the work so far has been processed and has appeared on olga.net
Here’s some new stuff from some midis (Zangief is OK, but I’ve not played Ryu at full speed so I don’t know how accurate it is). Would people prefer more SF2 endings, or original stage BGMs for Alpha or SFEX?

A couple of the older ones still need expanding (eg Honda, Bison, Balrog).
.
I’m guessing that you’re just running midis through a transcriber, such as Guitar Pro 4, Richard? In my experience, it’s best to clean up the initial tab and transpose notes if needed. Some of those chord changes are just unreal.
@Fin.K.M. - Thanks. I use a POD 2.0 going directly into my soundcard for my recording. I’ve been meaning to do more recordings.
I know this isn’t SF-related, but I recently did a record/transcription of the ‘Radical Dreamers’ track on Chrono Cross. Download the track here. Also have a tab of it here. I winged the ending lead in B.
What I’d really like to do is Ken’s music in Street Fighter Alpha 2, but it’s hard to find a good backing drums and bass for it. I know it could sound real good, too. I’ve also started to transcribe Guile’s theme from Super Turbo.
Actually, all the work on the original 12 was transcribed by me by ear on a keyboard, and then translated. Most of it hasn’t been played at full speed yet (hence the need to have people proof-play the stuff and report any errors).
However, 3 of the New Challengers, as well as the 2 endings above, are indeed from a midi- I got the sheet music printed onscreen, and then just worked the notes out from there.
Anyway, the other day I spent about an hour listening to SFEX (Shinji Hosoe/Ayako Saso/Takayuki Aihara). I listened to each tune about 3-4 times, and this is what I came up with. Anybody to fill in the many gaps?
