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

I actually dislike some of T5DR’s remixes compared to the vanilla version, but I get your point

can’t find that theme in sf5 where you hear jungle vox and shit love the beginning on that one.

It’s not even good dnb.

Honestly, this doesn’t have the timeless and anthemic quality one would expect from a character theme. For you to understand what I mean, imagine this song in CPS1 or 2. It will completely lost in translation I think, because it lacks a solid melody. This is why SF2’s music is so perfect (among a lot of other themes from 90s SF games). Their melodies are ageless.

That’s cool and all, but I enjoy the theme. Not much else matters to me tbh lol. It sounds good and that’s all I need. Plus them vocals.

People in here keep praising FANG’s theme but I personally found it pretty weird.

RA-SHI-DOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Love it.

Probably the best theme I’ve heard in the game (along with R. Mika’s).

I think the thing which hurts the soundtrack the most is the generally cheap sounding virtual instruments.

We could tolerate those just fine when they didn’t sound anything close to the actual instrument (older games).
It’s like the uncanny valley of sound. Not close enough that it sounds real, not far enough away that it’s obviously bleeps and bloops.

I found myself kind of enjoying the main menu theme. Djent fighter 5! A lot of the other music seems relatively forgettable, though I’ll echo enjoying the fact they went with some type of DnB for Rashid. My dream of a full DnB fighting game is still a long way off tho…

I’m not really that fond of this theme, especially considering this exists:

THAT is fucking good DnB. Truly progressive. KI’s soundtrack is untouchable.

Yes! Probably my favourite part.

After hearing the menu theme it’s official… This game has the greatest OST of any Street Fighter.

That’s impossible. Street Fighter 2 is undisputed, and indisputable. It is the ‘Thriller’ of the Street Fighter OSTs. Maybe you like SFV’s more, maybe it is your favorite even, but let’s not blur the lines between greatness and personal taste. My favorite OST is Alpha 3 followed by 3s, but I know they aren’t greater than SF2’s. Man, have you heard Guile’s theme?

This is so wrong it physically hurts.

It’s an ok OST. It has it’s gems even with remixes, but that’s too much of a long shot to call it the greatest.

whats the tier list in terms of OST?
1.Street fighter 2
2.Street Fighter 3 3rd strike
3.Street Fighter EX2 Plus
4.Street fighter Alpha 3

  1. A3
  2. Everything else

my problem with A3’s music is that a lot of them sound generic (NOT ALL) like they sound similar to each other except Karins or akumas theme or something

Rashid’s theme is only good in the “arabian” parts, the crappy keyboard in the middle makes my ears bleed.

The crappy keyboard makes my ears bleed in the entire soundtrack, actually. It sounds like I could do it better with my old casio ct-670

I don’t mind Fang’s theme. I think it’s good, but it just doesn’t fit him. People saying the song is ‘chinese’ are delusional in unnamed levels.
