It’s dope. The old theme was nice too but it had that hispanic feel to it. Whatever the instruments are called. This new one is more fitting for a global sound imo.
Hillside Plaza is also dope… I think I prefer round 1 more.

I like the previous Main Menu theme much more. I hope you can switch between the two.
The new Main Menu theme is definitely better.
Old menu theme just had this majestic and heroic feel to it.
Hillside Plaza round 1 is definitely the best. Especially the low health part (which isn’t in the video).
It’s… listenable, I guess.
Which means it still sucks.

This sounds like a pastiche of Aquarela do Brasil and Samba de Janeiro.
It’s utterly generic, but but it sounds okay.
Hmmm the brazil theme is alright. Round 1 is passable, but round 2 sounds like a good background tune for a fighting game. More ALA 3S or tekken.
New menu theme kinda has… more personality.
Djent Metal ftw
Yeah, Hillside Plaza so far is my favorite one, closely followed by Kanzuki Estate and then Forgotten Waterfall.
A lotta people have been gushing over the new India stage theme as well, so I’m interested to hear that one since I haven’t been able to get a good listen.
Okay, Capcom had me worried at first, but this is right up there with Karin’s theme, Kanzuki estate, Necalli’s theme for quality. This sounds fantastic.
It’s looking like this game’s music is going to be a mixed back of well put together, soulful, engaging music(Karin, Laura) and loud electronic noise with no warmth behind it (Rashid, Mika).
We actually haven’t heard Laura’s theme yet; just the stage.
I, personally, enjoy the energy Rashid’s theme gives off (haven’t met many people that can honestly say Drum and Bass isn’t energetic). But I can also appreciate the smooth approach in themes like Karin’s. Makes me really curious what direction Laura’s theme will go in. She’s got a bright and electric personality, so it may not be as smooth as some people hope.
Spoiler
I’d be fine with every theme being like Necalli’s.
These two new themes aren’t great, but they’re good. They’re at least listenable. I’ll take that over bad music any day.
am really loving the new music direction, i definitely didnt expect it to be this good, couldnt be more happy, i hope they will put the ost on steam to buy, character select screen + new menu theme + dhalsim stage song are my favorite so far
Man the new menu theme is f***ing good !
So if you can customize music in this game, who is replacing the USA stage theme with this?
Agreed that the background music to the stages is lacking. But the character themes are really good… Ryu’s is fantastic. Man makes me feel like its 1992 again. Brilliant. If you can’t at least appreciate that, ya’ll motherfuckers are dead inside LOL.
now speaking of good videogame soundtracks. I thought Platinum Games Transformers Devastation had a excellent soundtrack
I’ve had quite a few favorite themes in SFIV. Namely, Pitch-Black Jungle, Morning Mist Bay, Volcanic Rim, Crowded Downtown, Old Temple, Deserted Temple, Festival at the Old Temple, Snowy Rail Yard, Half-Pipe, Crumbling Laboratory (I & II), Balrog, Guile, Abel, Akuma, Cammy, Fei Long, Gouken, Rufus, Cody, Akuma vs. Ryu, Juri, Hakan, Makoto, Yang (Yun, however, sucked big time), Decapre and Rolento.
I hope SFV manages to topple this list. Doesn’t seem like it so far, though.
I’m really digging the new menu theme. Hopefully it’s not too late to tweak some of the other music bits (I’m looking at Bison’s. I don’t mind parts of it, but it feels more fitting for a Mega Man X Maverick, I like it, just not for Bison).
