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

The new main menu theme feels like Capcom hired Periphery to record the song

There’s never been a PG game without an excellent soundtrack.

@PSYCH0J0SH Rising’s OST sucks

I would say your opinion’s been discarded, but that was true months ago.

Wow… so you hate SF5 music, but you like that track. It sounds like a shitty indie rock band. No wonder you are so mad. Your taste sucks.

You don’t know quality, that is such trash. omg. Wow. Terrible. UGHH.

I rather listen to Indestructable than that.

And this is why music should never be talked about. It’s honestly on the level of politics and religion. People can talk about how there are objective views and quality basis, but there is no RIGHT answer to anything. All it does is lead to worthless arguments, only unlike politics and religion, VG OSTs mean absolutely nothing in the end (outside of the times it’s actually connected to the game itself, ala rhythm games).

Implying I give a crap if you count my opinion in or not

Spoiler alert - I do not. I’ll say it again - Rising’s OST sucks. If you enjoy listening to such “music” - I can only say that I’m sorry to hear that

Your opinion is invalid and wrong, and this was true months ago. We already got it.

And I think your opinion or my opinion is invalid and wrong. So?

You’re not me, therefore you are wrong.

As you say then, Mr. “My opinion is all that matters”

CvS2 stage music is cheating man, shit is too good.

The music is extremely hit and miss imo. About 70% of it is better than Sf4. Some of it is completely horrible. The Vega theme is fantastic.

“About 70% of it is better than Sf4”

Never.

People still forget that many of the SF4 songs follow the EXACT same formula of SF2: catchy melodies, importantly with medium to long size, played by instruments instead of a singer, and with drums following it. It’s almost like a hit single, but just instrumental. They did exactly like in SF2.

Some examples:

SF4 isn’t without its good music obviously. Some of the ones you posted @cazetta are only in that minority of good music.

My SF4 favorites are:

Gouken
Viper (Although this one can get noisy and doesn’t suit Viper’s character)
Abel
Crumbling Lab (both rounds)
Indestructible (grower not a shower)
Old Temple
Cruise Ship
Overpass
Africa Airfield

There’s a few character theme remixes that were just acceptable, but nothing that beat the original. This was actually my main gripe with the SF4 music, it wasn’t the stage music. It was that most if not all their attempts at remixing the SF2 themes were not only failures, they were insulting.

Solar Eclipse was awesome

Agreed dude. The new SF5 character theme for Ryu IMO is as good as the original theme if not better. SF5 stage music ~SF4; A few good tracks but mostly just that, background, and not memorable. The character themes and menu themes are 100x better than SF4 for the most part (Bison’s is taking some used to)

That is actually an exception. While the SF4 Bison theme was somewhere between crap and okay, it is still better than their ridiculous remix in SF5. Bison’s theme was massacred for SF5, it lost all its class in favor of a machine that keeps moaning.

Should’ve remixed this shit:

God damn Arika OST’s were absolutely amazing
