Your favourite 2D Fighting BGM

Anything from GGXX

Burly Heart
Keep Yourself Alive II
Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead)
Fuu-ga

Keep the Faith from GGX

The OST from Melty Blood Act Cadenza is pretty awesome too
Specifically:
Lurk
Silent Rumble

A lot of Blazblue stuff just kind of blends into itself I find, but some themes such as Hakumen and Taokaka are really good.

I think the song itself is boring but the intro is great. I like the '95 version much better.

Very unique track. Memorable, and one of my favourites from KOF '96. Also, Goenitz’s BGM, although can get a bit repetitive, is a monster of a song.

Agreed for Rolento’s stage. I’d like to add Sakura’s stage, Sagat’s secret stage (especially the Sega Saturn remix) and Zangief’s. Also, of note is Gen’s stage. Now I’m not a drummer but the drums on that track really stand out for me.

The aforementioned Korea Team BGM, in addtion to Psycho Soldier and Ikari Warriors are all top picks. Out of the KOF soundtracks, with being '94 being my favourite, KOF '95 comes a close second.

Well spotted. The first 5 seconds in are the perfect introduction for the track, which is so incredibly fitting for Rugal.

For me, every track on the KOF '94 OST is incredible.

I recently decided that this was the best KOF '98 track.

We share similar tastes, Geese. Some more of my favourites.

Fatal Fury Special:
Tung: (also the longest FFS track, I think. Beautiful)
Duck

X-Men COTA:
Storm
Omega Red
Wolverine
Psylocke

Art of Fighting 2:
King (genius, and perfect for the stage)
Ryo (probably the inspiration for the KOF '95 BGM)
Robert (remember the SNK habit of inserting bits of random speech into songs? well it’s used here to give a really uh… nice effect: “I had a wonderful time last night, thank you” “I’m glad you did” sigh
Takuma (Taiko(sp) drums?)
John (SNK’s answer to SF2 Guile’s BGM, and imo is way better)
Lee: memorable. The sort of thing you could hum to someone and they’d recognize it right away.
Yuri (the original is far superior to the weak KOF 2K2 remix)

Samurai Showdown 1:
Nakoruru
Charlotte
Galford
Earthquake (show me a more rocking fighting game tune, I double-dare you!)

KOF 97:
Riot of Blood Team: one of the only standout tracks on a pretty forgettable OST. Killer riff that’s instantly recognizable.

SFA1:
Charlie
Chun Li (also, the Sega Saturn remix). Anyone hear the piano version of the SFA1 Chun Li theme? I think it’s in the sound test, but not AFAIK accessible anywhere else on the disk. Recommended.

Darkstalkers series:
Tabain (VH, DS)
Demitri (VH)
Morrigian(DS)
Pyron (DS)
Felicia (the DS version is really good. Everyone must hear it!)
Aulbath (VH) Absolutely beautiful. Go listen!
Raptor (DS)
BBHood (VS)

SF3 - NG:
Elena**
Alex: Nearly brought a tear to my eye the first time I heard it in its entirety.
Sean
Ibuki
Ryu

** Capcom/Alpha Lyra at their finest. Such a cool melody. Could listen to this endlessy.

SFA3:
Guile (moody and serious, a complete departure from the SF2 track)

Question: anyone notice that Garou MOTW’s B.Jenet BGM is very similar to Fatal Fury 1 Duck King’s stage? I haven’t listened to them side by side or anything, but the resemblance was pretty striking.

Nakoruru/Hotaru. Most of samshos bgm are nature sounds, so I dont think they count.

I love the soundtrack in 3S, it’s original and suites the game well. Runner up is definitely SSF2T.

I must admit though that apart from Capcom fighters I haven’t played many fighting games, especially in regards to SNK, but I am hyped for both KOF XII and Blazblue.

the entire mvc2 soundtrack

snk and capco ot some of the best bg,'s ever made. 91/99 era was the best ever for bgm’s. i could make a list as well, but i dont wanna hog the entire page up.

KOF2002’s soundtrack usually sucks, but it has one really sweet track:
[media=youtube]uLzy0345u4M[/media] (Korean boat)

nothing from sf4 is touching Jazzy NYC 99 from 3rd strike

Man, you have exactly, the same tastes as me =D
Cammy Theme on ST, Dudley Theme, The MSH soundtrack, A2 soundtrack (specially Gen’s)

I don’t even have to post all the tracks i like =)
