Love Mika’s theme

Welcome to SRK.
You’re dumb and you’ll fit right in.
One of my favorite HD-era fighting game OSTs. If KOF02UM doesn’t count because of its lowres sprites, then it’s easily the best one.
KI’s soundtrack is Godlike. Wish SFV would take notes. I wish MKX would have…
MKX has a soundtrack?
thats a good point if we’re talking soundtracks, I can’t remember a damn song in any MK, except that corny theme they had back in the 90’s.
KI’s been doin cool stuff.
MK’s is more like an ambient music. It’s not particularly bad I think, just with a different proposal, it works for them, almost =p
MK as a series has never had good music. They just don’t put effort into composition.
KI compositions are fantastic… Same with Tekken over the years. Most old school Capcom fighters usually have good music, Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, CvS. Nowadays soundtracks just lack the same punch.
I mean I’ve considered that I might just have my nostalgia goggles on tight, but listening to how some of the old school tracks are pieced together and how they match the setting they were made for… It’s not even a contest compared to what we have now.
Being sound related, Psych0J0sh should edit the title and add “and the english VA too”.
Nash aside, I think the English voice acting sounds good and fitting for every character.
My only real complaints are 1) Chun’s VA sounds like she got lazy for half of her lines and 2) some lines sound like Capcom did literal translations instead of getting creative to make it sound/transition better in English.
Then again, I also think most of the OST sounds good and I’m in the minority with that in this thread.
This thread is just for discussing the music. The voice acting isn’t something I care about.
What’s a shame about the music in SF4 and now 5 is that, this shouldn’t be hard. Most of the characters have absolutely iconic themes. It takes a lot, a lot of bad work to somehow turn Cammy’s theme into elevator music, but by golly they did that in SF4.
You don’t need generic stage themes at all, just new compositions for new characters, and strong, heavy, fast, epic arrangements of all the previous fighters.
If they are using the same music guy/team from SF4 then there’s really no hope IMO. Expect generic themes and poorly arranged classics.
Who has complained about Japanese-only VA for 15+ years? Why add that absolutely unnecessary feature and take away some beauties such as special intros?
Who complained about 2D Sprites in a 2D Fighter? Same reason we have 3D models that people are always split over at best is the reason we don’t have Japanese-Only VAs anymore.
You’re not the first person I’ve heard say that. One of my old school mates goes on about it in our fb group. II will definitely check it out now
On MS-DOS if you had the right and expensive sound card set up it could produce amazing results
MK2 DOS version with Roland Sound Canvas. Even better than the original!
While those arrangements sound sharp and well-produced, they’re still the same boring atmospheric compositions. This is why no one remembers MK music.
I hope they don’t take notes. Because SF is SF and KI is KI.
