Your favourite 2D Fighting BGM

Now this is my kind of fanboy thread. There’s so many tracks I could list, but I’ll keep it short with some of my top favs.

I remember I liked MvC’s music so much, I’d leave the game on just to hear the music in training mode.

Jazzy NYC from 3s. So many times when I played friends in 3s, I’d always ask them if I could pick that stage. If they didn’t let me, I’d mash buttons quickly at the stage selection screen to get it, or make them play in arcade mode for it. Also, I remember for the longest time, I would only watch match videos with that stage. Fannnnnboying it up, yes.

I’m one of the few people that liked select tracks from MvC2. Swamp, clocktower, and river stage for life. :stuck_out_tongue:

Almost all of the tracks from Fighting Layer I love. I’m dying to get my hands on the OST of that game.

with 2d fighters I think the original SF2 (hate all the remixes) and Fatal Fury 2/special are the best by far.

Fatal Fury 2 (Andy, Krauser, Laurence )



SF2 (Ryu, Vega, Balrog, Guile)




KI had some really good music too and I really like some of the music in the SNES version of AOF particularly Mickey’s theme.

I thought the SF3 series had some of the worst music of any fighter. It really went downhill after SF2.

I have a lot of songs I love so I’ll just go over the ones off the top of my head for now.

Hi there, Ahmed, I’m a big of [media=youtube]_bGErn95VGQ[/media]!

Hope you enjoy your stay on SRK! :wgrin:

Ken’s Theme by some guy at OCRemix. It’s the one they used for HDREMIX’s intro.

haha nice

IMO, the Super DBZ soundtrack (along with the game itself) is overlooked/underrated.

Ibuki has always been blessed with such awesome stage music throughout the SFIII series:

[media=youtube]QK2qUAorPA8&fmt=18"]NG | 2I | 3S Original | 3S Arranged | [[media=youtube]eSlMTAxEWOo&fmt=18"[/media] song always sticks to my head.

[media=youtube]y9es6ZihL_0&fmt=18"[/media] brings back lots of nostalgia.

And finally, my favortie two tracks from SFIV: [media=youtube]LjUOymz6fpU&fmt=18"]US Drive-in Theme](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivyI_fuW4lk&fmt=18"[/media) | [URL=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJz1775BwP0&fmt=18”[/media]

Let’s add some stuff that haven’t been mentioned:
MBAA- most of the ost
MKV- [media=youtube]OwW4ybdAuNg&fmt=18"[/media] and some others.
KOF2K2UM- big part of the ost

Hmm, very funny title to make reference to “2D”, as if it makes a difference.

Anyway, since I last summarised threads liek this in the SF guitar tab thread, it seems like Elena, Necro and Q have really gained…

Too right. SFEX1 has just about the best music of any fighting game. I’d put it between SF2 and SFA2 on the podium of SF games.

From SFIV, I’d have to pick Snowy Railyard, Volcanic Rim and Seth’s laboratory.

Spectral vs Generation, last round! You know the one… :rofl:

But seriously, I guess GGXX#R or SF2.

And 3D is Soul Blade, easily.

kim kaphwan’s theme in fatal fury special or hon fu’s theme in fatal fury 3 I always thought were beyond catchy

KOF 2000 had some lovely tracks…as did 95.

For BlazBlue, I love Rebellion, Lust SIN and Gale.

Vampire fuckin Savior a.k.a. Darkstalkers 3 had one of the BEST soundtracks of all time IMO…so much more.

SFEX3 Guiles theme [media=youtube]axibQV5YsOk&feature=PlayList&p=F298A99A7195A27F&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=72[/media]

awsome piano, awsome drums, awsome everything. My favorite Guile theme by far.

yeah man that was annoying… :slight_smile:

That song originally came from SFEX1+a on playstation. Great song. You gotta listen to Kariu’s remix of it.

Anyways, I liked all rearrangments of Jazzy NYC (If I were a fighting game character, those would be my BGMs).

Paul’s Miracle Deathfist (Tekken 2 PSX version of Paul’s stage.)

TMNT Tournament fighters Soundtrack. That urban rock/house beat is a nice tribute to the 90s.

Eddy Gordo’s arranged BGM from Tekken 3

Heihachi’s BGM arranged (Tekken 3). That song is serious business.

Cheer up from ROTD (Great stage and great song. I was suprised)

At Ease from CFJ.

a few more.

Ai Wo Torimodose a.k.a. YOU WAH SHOCK! :razz:
