The music is (barely) passable (Music Discussion Thread)

The way they remixed the themes doesn’t sound like you’ll listen to them in a match… they seem to fit more as bgm during story-telling or something, but who knows. As with a few others, I think I dislike Cammy’s the most. Just not feeling that intro… everything after that is good. Chun’s is ok. I’ve said it before, Bison’s theme feels like it belongs in MvC3.

And I called it, Karin would get a new theme. The A3 soundtrack is a completely different style and just doesn’t fit well if you were to remix it with SF5’s style imo. You do hear the A3 melody or whatever towards the end. New theme is godlike though.

I think Ken and Ryu’s theme stay truest to the SF2 tracks.

One thing I like though is that all the themes do match that futuristic/sci-fi UI they seem to be going with.

Yes because I"m sure Capcom will take time out of their schedule to read a thread bitching about music on SRK.

Besides, unlike gameplay, if you’re bitching about things like music it’s already too late. They won’t recompose the OST after putting it out already. Any themes that are bad will remain bad forever.

I’d rather just custom soundtrack in Akira the Don’s SF Mixtape, but that’s just me.

Some songs actually sound as good as Ex3. karin’s theme is on par with strange sunset imo.
waterfall’s nice, sounds like mvc2 mixed with 3s ibuki with an octave change and better sounds.

Cammy’s theme starts so bad yet ends so well, reminds me of SFEX (sounds a bit like Sagat’s theme Before Moon in the end). I’m completely in love with the character themes.

Karin’s theme in essence…is like Capcom retroactively gave her a SFA2 theme and then did a remix on it.

Karin’s theme is so good, I wish other returning characters got the same treatment with their themes…

i hope they stick with the jazz take on alex theme

Where are you guys hearing these character themes?

Click.

does anyone know who’s composing SFV soundtrack ? cant find any info on that

Hideyuki Fukasawa, same person that composed SF4’s OST

Thanks!

A little off-topic but I actually really enjoyed the OST for HDR. I wouldn’t mind that direction.

Especially this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR0ESexpR7w

Bison’s theme just sounds so shitty, man.

SF4 version is better, but it’s also like the only version that sounds fitting of an evil dude instead of a christmas special.

Nash’s theme is growing on me.

That’s a good way to put it.

Am I the only one getting a strong Mario Kart 8 vibe from Karin’s theme? You could jam to this on Rainbow Road lol

Well that’s a surprise.

It has been 7+years, people can grow during that time.

Do you know what else can grow during that time? Malignant tumors.

Previews for Rashid and Mika’s themes respectively:

Thoughts?
