Are you serious? He said that? That was the best soundtrack to me. How can you not like someone flowin’ while you picking your character? That shit was crazy as hell. Would you like to listen to Street Fighter 4 lameass theme song or Street Fighter 3 theme. But I mean to each his own…
Also, SSF2: turbo did have some good music. I feel you on that.
Nah sf3 soundtrack and sound effect wise hit harder than sf4 I mean the songs meshed with the games urban settings . The fighters and where they fought was full of life and each stage matched the music . If you don’t like rap music I can understand you disliking the music but sadly enough the music fits and Metal and speed rock are inappropriate because a lot of music doesn’t flow smoothly and can become distracting to the ear .
I agree with this. Metal and rock are great, but they don’t fit EVERY fight. (I had this issue with GG, I only liked a few of the songs…so I liked the option to select the theme.)
All in all, as others have said, its all preference. In my opinion, SF4 has had the least amount of songs that I’ve liked. Whereas ALL of the other Capcom fighters were great, musically.
Yeah, i don’t hate all sf3 music, in fact, i quite like some jazz now and then. But my gripe was sf3 had no variation, the themes r just so similar. Which is why my fav will always be ssf2t, e.g. when appropriate it goes all oriental like honda’s stage and more metal like ken, etc. Different instruments and different themes suitably. That’s y i liked it. sf3 lacked that. A lot of ssf2t fan/official remixes were awesome.
sf4 has some good character/stage tunes, but yeah a lot of its other music is pretty un-memorable. LOL yeah “indestructible”'s gotta go, in fact, i think it’s confirmed by ono that it’s gone in ssf4. thank god. good that they’re bringing back character signature tunes though, and if u think it sounds the same, just youtube some of the remixes. Some r really fantastic and they don’t sound like rehashes. BTW the orchestral tunes in sf4 album r pretty good. Try downloading it, u might be surprised.
Also, the Blood on the Asphalt ssf2t HD remix tunes (not fully in-game, so gotta download) had some REALLY good tunes. The rest were sh*t though. Fei long’s is great, Ken’s too, but for originality i must give it to T.Hawk’s. Sooooo suit’s him and with some pretty creative mix of indian chants too!
Well, we do need some stuff to unlock from the trials and challenges and shit. Might as well be some nice music. Have each character’s theme and stage-specific music unlocked from the start, then put in older themes from SF2, Alpha, etc, for each character in as unlockables for finishing the character’s normal trials or something.
Instead of a Brawl-esque My Music, have it be like GGXX where you can cycle through the music during the stage select process. I think that’d work out fine.
I hope you mean some choice selections for past characters when you say finishing normal trials because if you have GGXX style of selection, I have no desire to scroll through a projected 500 songs.
I think 2-3 mixes per character is sensible. Hell, 2 is really all we need. If we don’t like the music we can find whatever we need and just have the music loaded on our console play over the game.
Well yea, I figure there’d be the new character mixes and the stage themes are unlocked from the start, then they’d take like the original 16’s SF2 music, you unlock that, the Alpha characters you get their theme from either A2 or 3, new characters…Well, new characters would get even newer mixes, you get the idea =P
I can’t really see a My Music type feature being implemented into a traditional fighting game, though. The Brawl soundtrack was composed of over 100 songs spread across like 20 stages…Then again, scrolling through 70+ songs GGXX style isn’t exactly great, either. The other way it could happen is just randomize the music selection based on the characters being used at the moment and the stage they’re fighting on.
Anyways, point is, have the old themes unlockable =P
i want to see Dan’s theme remixed. Such a great song, even with the cacaphonys that play in the chorus it fits Dan :P. And stages meant specifically certain for characters again with their themes playing. Would give me a reason to pick a stage
IMO, 3s has the best soundtrack so far. It’s essentially the CAPCOM style of music, like Megaman X ish or something. Idk, but alot of CAPCOM’s stuff sounds alike, and I love that. It’s like… their music is an adventure. And adding that to an urban feel makes an urban adventure.
Like I just said in the requests topic up top, I haven’t even heard barely any of the cool remixes in the game that play during the matchmaking lobby, because the other player readies up and the songs never play anywhere else. I get tired of the boring battle music, I wish the cool jazzy electo remixes would play during battles, and maybe even have a BGM selector like BlazBlue
how about the original sf2 character select tune? or maybe a slight remix of that one (NOT the remixed one from HDR). if they put the original one back on instead of the indestructible tune, id bee good.
As for other songs, I think they should integrate the music that goes for the specific characters. I loved Gule’s theme back in SF2, why didnt they bring that back. Or Vegas tune was rockin good. Anyhow, they should at least have some music that gets the gamer pumped up.
Why would you go to the trouble of making excellent character themes (remixes and all) that we are only going to hear for 10 seconds on matchmaking screens?
Or during rival fights with the CPU? Do it once and you are done. Big deal! I really don’t understand why the development team won’t stick with character-themed stages.
