I personally think Marvel has better themes. I love playing against/as Marvel characters because theres always a song to kinda look forward to. E.g Spiderman, Magneto, Hulk especially, Sentinel. They just sound so GOOD! Capcom’s themes are good as well, theres no arguement there. But for me, theres no song that gets me PUMPED necessarily. Besides Amaterasu’s theme. Its awesome =]
Opinions?
Seems when I’m listening to the soundtrack, I find myself repeating capcom themes much more than marvel ones
Marvel wins it.
She-Hulk, deadpool, Skrull, Magneto, Dorm, Shuma, X-23, and wolvie’s theme all sound good.
Tough choice, but I’ll go with Capcom off the strength of Arthur and Wesker. Everyone’s theme is pretty good except for Trish and X-23.
Marvel owns. There is no contest.
It’s Capcom, baby.
Consider it the natural melody of the video game themes they took them from. On the most part, with themes like Amaterasu, Spencer, Chris, Jill and Arthur, I find them to be more naturally compelling, even when the remix is a butchered version of the song (like Ryu’s theme).
If I hear that god damned Ryu theme one more time…
Marvel, you get pretty much the entire theme remix of MSH and some new good ones.
All the good capcome characters with good themes are simply not in the game.
Let’s just say…RYU’S THEME DOES NOT GO WITH EVERYTHING
It’s a tie.
Mahvel. They have a better non-generic-techno list than Capcom. It’s a shame Cap’s theme had to be such an anti-hype, though.
Marvel, because of M.O.D.O.K.'s theme alone.
Marvel. She-Hulk and Phoenix themes own.
Sout out to Amaterasu’s theme though. Nothing like a techno version of old Japanese music.
Taskmaster’s theme wins it by itself.
Then there’s more on top of that.
Well let’s see, on capcom’s side I like Ryu, C.Viper, Zero, Jill, Wesker, and Dante’s theme the most.
For marvel, there is Taskmaster, Spider-man, X-23, She-Hulk, Sentinel, Dr.Doom, and Storm’s the most.
So I suppose Marvel wins for me, but I like them about equally.(In addition they both have themes I don’t care for.)
Honestly, the only theme I don’t like is X-23’s. That’s about it.
The main reason I don’t like X-23’s theme is because I just do not like hearing lyrics in video game music. I imagine if they made a version of X-23’s theme without the lyrics, I’d be alright with it. I think Deadpool’s theme would also be better sans lyrics.
I’m okay with Haggar’s theme having the minimal lyrics it contains. In fact, Haggar’s theme is one of my favorites.

Off the strength of Dr. Doom’s theme alone, Marvel.
I been playing with the volume turned down since release.
Capcom character’s tend to be generic and stereotyped as fuck. The only real exceptions being the 3S cast and some of the Alpha series cast. I’m so sick of Ryu’s boring ass quest, and Akuma’s “oooh he’s evil” persona, and just generic fighters in general. I laughed when I saw the first SF x Tekken vid with Ryu v. Kazuya, made Ryu look so boring and generic, even the moves look boring.
As for music, only 3S and SF2 has great music IMO,SF2 mainly due to nostalgia.
anit-hype? that’s the one I listen to most out of all of the marvel characters.
