Street Fighter Music Tier List

Discuss, best or worst songs in the street fighter not just SF4 but emphasis on SF4 preferred as this IS the SF4 forum.

Indestructible is left out of this as it is either SSS+ tier or FFFFUUUU tier depending on who you ask.

SF4 music:

S Tier
Cody, Deejay, Makoto, Yun, Balrog, Guile
A Tier
Rufus, Dudley, Guy, El Fuerte, Ken, Old Temple, Rose, Viper, Gen
B Tier
Akuma, Gouken, Ryu, Volcanic Rim, Overpass, Vega, Zangief, Juri
C Tier
Blanka, Sagat, Dhalsim, Chun Li, Hakan (He’d be D tier but those boing sound effects make me smile too much lol)
D Tier
Dan, Sakura, Cammy, Adon, Fei
F Tier
Everything else

Not SS Tier or whatever, but would be better to have these:
Hakan(Theme from the trailer), Akuma(Theme from the secret boss battle, not from the Akuma vs Ryu battle).

My favorite tracks are solely from characters that are very annoying to play against:

Adon, Balrog, Blanka, Honda, Juri, Hakan, Akuma (Ryu theme piano remix), Abel

The instruments used for Guile’s, Ken’s, Vega’s and Ryu’s (except Akuma piano version) themes are disappointing in SF4. In SF2 those were clearly my favorites.

Best version of the Ken theme is the ST HD Remix title.

I don’t like most of the SF4 themes but Cammy’s is still really good. Abel’s is okay, too.

Everyone had different reveal music for some reason. That said, Hakan’s was pretty boss other than the vocals which would likely get pretty annoying after a while. The rest of it was awesome though.

Sakuras is the best. 3s had the absolute best music though (ibuki, akuma, q). I was super bummed when I first heard the sf4 music, 3s just blows it out of the water.

I def agree that Guile’s SF4 theme is the weakest incarnation of the Guile theme BY FAR. It’s still a rock solid song though. :smiley:

Also they need to make this an alt song for Skyscraper Under Construction:

Yeah would fit. The FM synth sound could use a slight upgrade though. :wink:

IMO sf4: top 3 are sakura, makoto , zangief

Well I’d expect them to do a full remix like they did for Abigail’s theme in SFxT.

Actually one thing I think they should do in USF4 is EITHER:

A. Make an alt track for every character (E.G. a second theme that has a chance to play instead of their regular theme.)

OR

B. At least do an alt track for each stage. Obviously doing alt tracks for 39 characters + 2 unique tracks for the new 5 characters (A total of 49 new songs) is a ton of work and pretty unlikely. However making 1 alt track for each stage. Given there are only 22 stages + 5 “new” stages that’d be a lot less work.

i really really love these ones, i wouldnt call them S tier since some are re orchestration/arrangement from SF3/SF2

Ibuki
Makoto
Ken
Cammy
Dudley
Yun
Guy
Zangief
Deejay
Morning Mist Bay Stage ~Vietnam~
Evil ryu
Fei long
Versus/arcade select screen theme
Solar Eclipse Stage ~Africa~
Volcanic Rim Stage ~Oceania~

thats it, needless to say the SF3 ( the originals not the shameless remix from online edition ) music is pretty much godlike and at SF2 level epicness, i also really like the music from the EX serie, if you didnt hear it already go HURRY, its pure eargasm jazz fusion rock vibes

Guile Makoto Cammy
still EX OST is the best

to: capcom music department
grow some ball and take some solos…or 3

The CPS2 version of Cammy’s theme is way better than the newer one they made. Why mess with something that isnt broken?

Crumbling laboratory

I think this is the best theme in SSF4 followed by Guile’s theme. Sagat’s theme is pretty nice too.

nobody likes bison/dictator? wtf? maybe i’m just a fiend for electronic :confused:
