Whoever made Guile’s theme in this game was feeling themselves so hard during that trailer lol.
Guile’s theme is one of the better remixes in SF5, I’m feeling the pace and tone of it. Quite like the intro actually, it’s something fresh that preludes the iconic tune you know is coming. With a song that’s been remixed a lot but yet is so iconic, it’s a welcome addition.
So apparently PS music has created playlist for some of the fighters
so far i am digging Laura’s https://play.spotify.com/user/playstation_music/playlist/1PNGqJPKGlkE3f5cqx1UO7
However Ryu earns a huge WTF : https://play.spotify.com/user/playstation_music/playlist/6aGZHlGGjFvfd8SJxEEcUv
Except for “The touch” Ryu’s is extremely flawed
I tabbed out the Guile intro. For all you other guitar players, let me know what you think. Sounds pretty close to me.
Reference:
Wow! Laura’s is really pretty brazilian, with songs that would definitely fit her personality. Probably a brazilian Capcom employee did the list, she definitely would listen to those songs.
Guile’s theme makes me think he joined Miami Vice or something.
likin that airforce uni
wonder if sf5 has an ost in wav format…
Just gonna go out on a whim and assume that Masahiro Aoki did the Guile remixes… because guitars are too epic.
That’s weird that they just straight up made the Airfield stage music a remix of Guile’s theme.
I also like it better than the actual theme they gave guile because, you know, no 45 seconds of intro.
Love how dramatic Guile’s theme is, it reflects his present conflicts very well, with the Nash situation and all… The Airforce Base’s theme is very faithfull to the original Guile theme, so that will make some people happy. I loved them both, personally… Though it only makes sadder for not being able to choose between character and stage themes…
Has anyone seen if the stage has a round 2 variation theme listed, like the other stages?
My favorite parts of Guile’s theme are the intro and at 1:00, it’s long but so awesome. Makes the theme much better for me and the guitar is epic !
I heard there wasn’t one… which is odd. There’s also no low health/ ending tunes in the uploaded theme.
Perhaps they plan to release classic stages and let them keep their classic themes.
You know what? They need to switch Guile’s theme and Air Force Base theme. The Air Force stage theme is better since it’s start immediately and there’s no round-long buildup for it
I find it pretty interesting that they made the Airforce Base stage his theme as well. It seems that Guile’s actual theme is a bit more remixed and emotional, illustrating the Guile’s current personal conflict with Nash. The Airforce Base Stage theme is a lot closer to the original, in case players dislike the emotional remix of Guile’s actual theme. Pretty cool.
I think Capcom struck a nice balance with Guile’s SFV theme and the Air Force Base theme.
The two being similar in order to cater to people who like the emotional feel of the new theme and those who prefer something closer to the original is something I wonder if they’ll keep up with the other DLC characters.
Gonna have to stick up for the original Karin theme here. Her SFA3 theme was fairly simple but it was memorable and catchy - in fact, it’s one of the only themes I remember from the Alpha series, which I haven’t played regularly in over a decade.
Her SFA3 theme jumps right into a pounding rhythm that clearly indicates you’ve been thrown into the middle of a fight. I think Karin’s highly aggressive theme was intended to contrast with Sakura’s more humble theme, and it certainly succeeded in doing that.
However, it is true that her SFA3 theme needs a couple more ideas in it to round it out. This was attempted but carried too far in SFV, as the punchy rhythm from SFA3 is barely noticeable as the main cue comes to an end. The composer would have been much better off balancing out the old and new themes, as Karin’s new theme sounds more like it belongs in a Narita Airport flight arrival information video for a Japanese airline.
I do rather like the Kanzuki Residence theme, though, and I think it would be more appropriate as Karin’s main theme, just as many other people like the Air Force Base theme better for Guile.
What’s interesting is that in an interview with the original SFII composer Yoko Shimomura she mentioned that the music in stage wasn’t intended to be for the characters but the stages themselves. Considering that, no other theme could’ve fit as well as the “Guile/air base theme”.
True. Since it is a straight up copy of the SF2 stage, I guess it makes sense for it to use the SF2 theme.
Yoko should come back to do some other SF music. She is the soul of those classic themes.
If there’s any consolation for you, she was the arrangement supervisor for Ryu’s theme in Smash 4. It’s pretty good and definitely sounds very close to a remix of the CPS-1 version and the 3DO/HSF2 remixes.
