Those 2 aren’t even scratching the surface. The Alpha 3 soundtrack has some amazing music with inspired melodies. Karin, Gen, Sakura, Chun, Guile, Ken, Akuma, Shin Akuma, Birdie, Bison (both of them), Balrog, Juni/Juli, and so many more delicious themes! It was bold and very much unique to the game. It didn’t try to be like other Street Fighter OSTs. I don’t get the complaints that all the tracks sound the same, because they sure as hell don’t to me. They sound like they were made by the same composer yes, they also all sound like they belong on the same album. But that’s it. Most of the songs have their own flavor.

YOU’RE the shittiest theme in SF4!

Obviously not EVERY song is terrible. But in a game with, like, 50 songs in it, there’s maybe 3 good ones. Ryu’s theme is definitely one of them. I like Vega’s and Cammy’s too.

Repetitive shit that never extends past it’s intro, trash, okay, trash, trash, trash, trash, okay, amelodic trash, trash, trash/okay(Final), trash, trash.

Yeah, instead of trying to be like some of the greatest soundtracks in all of video gaming, it decided to be garbage instead.

The game seems to have a very limited sound font. Like every theme is played with the same three instruments.

Exactly! That’s why I appreciate Alpha 3 soundtrack treatment. They ventured making themes totally unprecedented in a relatively conservative franchise. Amid good and bad choices, I feel like EVERY decision fitted well. I mean, each theme fits like a glove for its respective characters.

It seems Alpha 3 soundtrack never gets dated and decaying.

Agreed. Volcanic Rim is straight up ass juice in an OST that already consists of a lot of filth.

Die in a fire.

Nigga, you dislike Alpha 3 and Third Strike OSTs but willingly call people names over SFIV’s OST. Are you just trying to troll or what?

You know, I’ve always wondered why characters don’t get alt themes like stages, whether it be another remix of their SFV theme or a remix of a theme from another game entirely such as ‘The Road’ for Ryu, ‘Sharp Eyes’ for Ibuki and ‘Before Moon’ for Sagat (assuming should he ever get in the game as DLC).

He has to be, no one is that tone deaf.

No. Lots of people don’t like 3S’s music, and I’ve literally never heard ANYONE praise Alpha 3’s music till now.

SF4 is full of awesome remixes of lots of character’s classic themes. It’s got a few shitty ones too, but those are mostly because the original theme that’s being remixed also sucked, like Guy, Dan, and most of the SF3 characters.

And then there’s Sakura’s theme, which blew in Alpha 2, but was awesome in SF4.

A FEW!? 95% of songs in SFIV consist of shitty fucking remixes and even entirely new themes are garbage

Only good ones are Zangief, Fei Long, Adon, Cammy, and to certain extent Rolento, Hugo and Poison. That’s it. The rest of the character themes are utter shit

Except they aren’t shitty. They’re fucking awesome. Awesome remixes of songs that were already awesome.

Tell me how Dudley, Makoto, Ken, Guile and Bison themes are good in SFIV. I dare you.

Makoto’s theme was…unfitting for her character, but as its own track I actually really liked it.

I overall hated SF4s soundtrack, but I gotta say, good luck to them if they decide to bring back Sakura. Her SF4 theme is ridiculously good; I don’t see them topping it.

For a time there I would’ve considered your opinion on Alpha 3’s music as credible, I may have even doubted myself for a second there actually. But then…

You had to go fuck it all up for yourself by having shit taste in music.

Guile’s theme is great. The rest of those are mediocre to bad, but, again, that’s like 5 themes in a game with 50 characters.

Poison’s theme crap?

It was one of the best debuting songs since Juri’s one. Take that back!
