View source for Street Fighter/Awesome Music

{{work}}
Being the [[Trope Codifier|precursor]] of all modern [[Fighting Game|Fighting Games]], you ''know'' that the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series is ripe with [[Awesome Music]]

== ''Street Fighter'' ==
* Let's appropriately begin with [[Street Fighter (video game)|the game that started it all]], shall we?
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEUhH0nFXK8 Gen's original theme]. It's crazy what composers could do with 8-bit back in the day.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDTdQ9jjsJE Lee] [[Catch Phrase|has good fortune]]. Yes he does.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utnUv3cJfzo Birdie], [[Hand Wave|before he became a]] [[Scary Black Man]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxFhmS1zT3E Joe] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JnfxZggHX Geki], [[We Hardly Knew Ye]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhigIpStxwc Retsu's theme]. Some [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]!
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-7usUVhw1M The original Stage Select BGM.]
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPriHMPMghg bonus] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvPYWnNc39c stages].
** The ''entire'' arranged soundtrack for ''[http://www.youtube.com/user/Renegade466isback#grid/user/7F179C52CF1C10A7 Fighting Street]''.
*** You know, making Sagat's [[So Bad It's Horrible]] theme and making it actually sound ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geoWPmLnpyo good]'' makes it deserving of having it a good soundtrack.


== ''Street Fighter II'' ==
* Let's move on ''[[Street Fighter II]]'', shall we? It's full of iconic and easily recognizable music, such as:
** The Intro theme - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARJzWXXupeE CPS1], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPMJPTaSnTU CPS2, remixed as a character select theme], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-SHxrNXF4o SF2 SNES], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMnWRTfT0W0 SSF2T PC, now as a menu theme].

** ''Super Street Fighter II'' would add:
*** Stage Jamaica, Dee Jay - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL-X1_R12So CPS2], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgdvZnR_4ds SNES], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trdBtfw3Aqs SSF2T PC], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRy6LuMxs40 Retraux CPS1].
*** Stage England, Cammy - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow20WxUq168 CPS2], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xfhAqaIQ9w&hd=1 SNES], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B29VZb6AKfY SSF2T PC], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6b-ZtUpGs0 Retraux CPS1].

** And the ''Turbo'' version of ''Super Street Fighter II'' also gives us the first appearance of Akuma/Gouki ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugL95sECebM CPS2], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8pxAFUJtCY Retraux CPS1]).
** And Finally the Ending/Staff Roll theme - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a_reRahK5M CPS1], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXQ59Iva9Dg CPS2], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdU6nWATKaw SF2 SNES], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT8To57QT2w SSF2 SNES].
* The "Remix" mode of ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix'' had its music [[Promoted Fanboy|composed by members]] of the game music tribute site OCRemix. And it is ''AWESOME'' [http://www.ocremix.org/info/OC_ReMix:_Super_Street_Fighter_II_Turbo_HD_Remix_Official_Soundtrack Check it out.]


== ''Street Fighter Alpha'' ==
* With the ''[[Street Fighter Alpha]]'' series came newcomers and their own awesome tracks: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npQSe4U17zI Nash], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR7jkNv0DfI Rose], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLfggEkhn6M Guy], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kUlQkj8eIg Dan], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZryU6iP5E8 Sakura].
** It should also be noted that Sakura's theme ("I Want You to Know") has lyrics. So hear the totally cool [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q27LTko4TsY vocal version].
** Not to mention the fiendishly new track [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfZx0WSFbPw Brave or Grave] made for M. Bison. Combine this with [[SNK Boss]] Syndrome and you've got possibly one of the most satisfying defeats in video game boss history.
*** ''Alpha 3'', along with "Brave or Grave", added a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m73s5o_pa-E new theme for Dan], which is [[Your Mileage May Vary|arguably better than his old one.]]
*** How DARE you mention ''SFA3'' and not have Karin's most suiting theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2YP4x6x74Q A Simple Rating]. Hate her for being a [[Canon Immigrant]], hate her for being incredibly cheap, but RESPECT the theme.
**** And how dare you mention ''SFA3'' without mentioning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hds3be8hoh4 The Road], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVp64nYLDTI Kakugo], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80gXuA_1t54 Hi-Tech], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3qdE9TCwSs Fei Long's theme], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n3_7vdp7Lo the training theme?]
*** Ditto for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK6lX1c-OUc No More Swingin' (Guy's Theme)], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R36ASXl8pdo Stripes (Cody's Theme)], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW8Msf8WIGg Doll Eyes (Cammy's Theme)], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FogUJRXiFYo Shining One (Sagat's Theme)], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd1hfaufGJg Moments (Gen's Theme)], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCv5-DeD7Q0 Prismatic Stars (R. Mika's Theme)]. This Troper might hate the fact that all of the [[Leitmotif|Leitmotifs]] were removed, but most of ''Alpha 3'''s soundtrack made up for it.
**** Even without the iconic nature of his older themes (especially the ''Street Fighter II'' incarnation), even [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVcb8uFVVNg Guile] gets a sweet theme when he shows up in the console versions of ''Alpha 3'', despite said theme apparently not even having a name. {{spoiler|Except some sources list this as 'Wisdom'}}.
**** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnX9iv0D1oo Credits.] Just credits. Tell us if you don't skip the credits just because of THIS theme.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6CGEhuzAD4 Sagat vs. Ryu] from ''Street Fighter Alpha 2''. The BEST version of Sagat's theme, bar none.
** Dialing back the clock a bit, there was ''[[Capcom Sequel Stagnation|Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold]]'', which was the final bow for each character's respective theme in the main series until ''IV''. Feast your ears on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mONhnRcAivk Guy], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHo8mRZYGB0 Ryu], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blp0TAuw6uE Ken], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smq039eZYQE Akuma], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWNSgj_uG4E Dan], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr6csYXjV_U Sagat], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsFAYNOleT8 Adon], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUS-fxZCQw8 Gen], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKic_Wpnb8k Rolento], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9R7G3jOayI Zangief], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceisGKxpfuc Birdie.] What an encore!
*** And let's not forget about [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCfg4rkD6Vw Chun-Li], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq50PQhnFGs M. Bison], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o6FW0fO1Qg Charlie], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPp7VN06JVs Rose], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPgCfmvWCkY Sakura], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUNbp2_rvgc Dhalsim], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_SLM82dXI8 Sodom], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_lJ8Z-xDjQ Cammy], ok?
*** The ending themes owned pretty hard too. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW9CXQWpSuE Guy], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTKrcbZ5Mkw Ken], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTlNeqiqcTc Akuma], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wtoiugPGjU Dan], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWBZ0nz5uAs Chun-Li], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNqAXhAQZgo Adon], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeNaUfOQy_o Birdie], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeLqsMOQmT4 Rolento], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UlBjPLcD1w M. Bison.]
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEL2KhsfPvc Staff Roll] thankyouverymuch.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuS_bvQj--U Rose's Theme] in ''Street Fighter Alpha 3'' is possibly even better than her ''Alpha 2'' theme. Also comes with a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLAN47ntTaQ remix.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UNqrcPYGYc Dan's Theme] in ''Alpha 2''. Not as original as his old one but improved, nonetheless. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbU4aPTVdY0 Ryu's Theme] in ''Alpha 2'', as well.
* No love for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gi9o4VBvM8 VEGA'S THEME]?


== ''Street Fighter III'' ==
* The ''[[Street Fighter III]]'' series:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSzPbO9DFcg Jazzy NYC '99], Alex & Ken's theme from ''Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike''. One song you never get tired of, no matter how many matches you play.
*** Keep in mind that this was so great a song, that (of this edit) it spawned ''seven'' versions, each one radically different: the aformentioned ''3rd Strike'' mix, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S2xgwcNGBE original version] (complete with a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAMy2JNM7eA Latin Mix!]), Sean's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK2ztNxa0q0 Street version] in ''New Generation'' ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQcEJkuVWzs and its Light Edit arrangement]), the ''2nd Impact'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JPekIiee80 -NY House Mix-], and the ''[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAiUaW-Hl-I rendition.]
*** How awesome is it? So awesome, that any song that relies on jazz will channel this song, and have the words "Jazzy [Insert Home City/Affiliated Locale Here]" [[Fan Nickname|slapped on it]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYuzMs9c14Q&fmt=18 You Blow My Mind], Dudley's ''3rd Strike'' theme. Gets the feet moving, ya know?
*** And by what we can hear of his new theme in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoOqT4oynzo SSFIV trailer], it's safe to say it Took A Level In Catchy.
** Don't forget Elena's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0ODyHKqtuM Beat's In My Head.] If you didn't already know African Techno would be an awesome combination, here's your proof.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axQNWRDywW4 Psyche Out], Gill's theme from ''Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike'' is awesome as well. For a final boss that fancies himself a god-king and can ''resurrect himself to full life if you're not careful'', this fits extremely well. Also, it definitely encompasses the hopelessness of you beating him and how apocalyptic the world would be if you lost to him.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoPJeVqjeJc Killing Moon], Akuma's theme from ''Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike'', is the ultimate fighting game music to me.
*** A DJ friend of mine actually took Elena's ''3rd Strike'' theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3RBNdah19M Beats In My Head] (or the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7zPrwCC8fs arranged version]), put it in his mix for the night and rocked the house with it.
** There's also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fWRe-6XO2c China Vox] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6qPPhOnwTs Kobu], the themes of Chun-Li and Ryu respectively.
** As for Oro and Sean in ''3rd Strike'', there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQe2goAbgpI The Longshoreman.] Necro and Twelve got [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSbU3ilyd5I Snowland.] Makoto's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAHD0FCv08Y Spunky]... was just that. And lest we forget about [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzb93DV0Joo Q.] Even the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAZHYPUemdg bonus stage] had great music!
** Even the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrebS6dkNZ4&feature=PlayList&p=DBE87DE598B7F305&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=1 menu music], one of the reasons to own a home version. It's popular even among gamers who can't stand mainstream rap, not unlike the soundtrack of ''[[MadWorld]]''.
*** Point in case: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iefxrf_L-YU LET'S GET IT ON NOW!]
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p0mZ3tCBLo Make the first move, so what's it gonna be? The chapter of the new world of Street Fighter III. The third chapter, so what's it gonna be? The chapter of the new world of Street Fighter III.]
** The ''3rd Strike'' version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zId56QBlCvs Crowded Street.] If there was a Chinese ''[[James Bond]]'', this would be the score to it.
*** Before that, ''2nd Impact'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh9ekeyQVt0 gave Yun]{{dead link}} an [[Action Movie Edit]] and Yang a more low-key and relaxed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_vTrd4KV9c Drum & Bass Mix.]{{dead link}}
*** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWX2KTT_i1A version] found in ''New Generation'' was good, but its [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS69dpa8ZO4 Midnight Ver.] from the arrange album is ''amazing''.
** From ''New Generation'' we have [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR6PVal_2CA Leave Alone] for Dudley. Don't forget to catch its [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8ptLChN9Xo -UK House Mix-] version from ''2nd Impact'' either.
*** Likewise, Ibuki's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK2qUAorPA8 Sharp Eyes], and the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YUJJqUU3GQ Piano Melo] version from ''2I''.
*** From the ''NG'' arranged album, Dudley got a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE8gOxjGCHQ Rare Mix] of "Leave Alone", while "Sharp Eyes" was given a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQSJBGd6uHg For Dancers] rearrangement.
** Sean got [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij4BfrCWKoQ San Paolo] in ''2nd Impact'', while Ken received the aptly-named [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrFJ-egsop4 Funky Bay.]
** [[Ryu and Ken]] shared [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhRq4g_klNk Good Fighter] in ''NG''. Then came the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK-nXDPq9Nw -2nd Edit-.]
*** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs9Us1wZaQE Brilliant Mix] is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX97b9Qmewg The Flame], for Akuma's [[The Bus Came Back|big return]] in ''2I''.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9blC3Wz4WRo Bottoms Up], Hugo!
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv6Xe3zGi8Q The Judgement Day] from ''NG''. [[Large Ham|KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER!]]
*** Its [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pquN3AFs1QE Heavy Tone] mix is just as godly [[A God Am I|as Gill thinks he is]].
*** When Urien was introduced in ''2I'' to be the [[Cain and Abel|Cain to Gill's Abel]], two versions of "The Nile" were created: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXI7GNzqDHQ a Drum & Bass Mix] for Gill and a funky [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_r79tpZyfA Afro Edit] for Urien.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-kkK8vQRdk Get On A Train] for Necro. While This Troper is impartial to his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUqbP2C0U54 -Drum & Bass Mix-] in ''2I'', the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liPzK-U7xGY Backing Repeat version] is pretty damn snazzy.
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c42jKc3FVbY character select theme] from ''III: 2I''.
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-b1Q8wwREo Knock You Out]" the new theme for ''3rd Strike'''s [[Updated Rerelease]] on PSN and [[Xbox]] Live Arcade by Adam Tensta and Simon Viklund.
*** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-b1Q8wwREo You know what they say, that 3rd Strike is what counts.]"


== ''Street Fighter IV'' ==
* I think it's about time ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'' was added to the list.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjUOymz6fpU Drive-in at Night Theme.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZaxGBGjeSo Snowy Rail Yard Theme.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCd8slmYfRs Old Temple Theme.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4n14IuKcxM Beautiful Bay Theme.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqnhhtPNw1c Volcanic Rim Theme aka the song of one of the trailers]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbplVP3I4dM Small Airfield Theme.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivh_W-fxStQ Deserted Temple Theme.]
** [http://youtu.be/4gaMwiTIwgQ Crimson Viper's theme.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJpdVrNFihs Abel's theme.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fprNKXmyqrg Seth's theme], which better be awesome due to [[SNK Boss|how often]] you'll be hearing it...
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHfXMxxYv28&fmt=18 Rufus' theme], which could count as more a Crowning Music Of Funny what with Rufus' [[Kiai|Kiais]] in the background.
*** While on the subject of ''IV'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc3Nm5L1w3Q&fmt=18 THIS IS WAAAAAAR...!]
*** Let's not forget the most epic theme in ''IV'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVR4ICinNNI Gouken's.] Of course, it's all subjective.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWu9jCweD70 Bison's remixed theme] deserves mention. The heroic intro, the bizarre, techno riff thrown in at 0:13, and the epic way his main theme is introduced all tells you that this song belongs to a man who's very existence is fundamentally WRONG.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2wvIvyWkh0 The Ryu vs Akuma rival theme] is potentially the most epic version of Ryu's theme to date. It paints a perfect picture of the final battle between the two warriors.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFsuHmrWf6o Guile's theme]. It's all of the man's grief, depression, and suffering boiled down into audio form.
** While [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHbobXMcBtE Sagat's theme] is missing the aggression of his past self, [[Fridge Brilliance|it's perfect]] for a man who finally realizes that revenge is meaningless and that there should only be honor in the battlefield. The Thai instruments and ambience works too.
** The newest version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwAFemIkYw4 Cammy's theme], thanks in part to that guitar.
** And who could forget about "[[Fan Nickname|Jazzy Russia]]", [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvwwfX_mKnU Zangief's theme]?
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8L4XOPF-EA Ken] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJOIiiA4Pac Sakura], anyone?
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpZfbxXzmNA Rose's theme] sounds like the [[Herald]] for [[The End of the World as We Know It|Doomsday]]. But face it; if you could listen to such a song as fierce and graceful [[Lady of War|as the woman herself]] while the world was going up in flames, you would.
** While ''Street Fighter Alpha 3'' brought us [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8ZYy3FfHDY The Way to the Glory], a victory track full of the supreme awesomness that can only come of having thoroughly [[Curb Stomp Battle|kicking someone's ass eight ways to Sunday]], ''Street Fighter IV'' brought out the a track that completely and totally takes your confidence and says, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqSPBvllt9I you are NOT in the clear, yet]. Yet it remains INCREDIBLY worthy of the Crown of Awesome.
** While alot of folks didn't like it at first, many fans now think main theme from ''SFIV'' ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU53zK47q9A The Next Door]'' by Japanese male pop group Exile was pretty badass.
* And now ''Super Street Fighter IV'' enters the fray with some brand new remixes.
** Here's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX8wPemk2NU Dee Jay's theme], which gives off a Santana-style vibe.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIL6K-oL760 Cody's theme], based off of the original ''[[Final Fight]]'' intro theme, now made about 60% [[Darker and Edgier]] and 40% more [[Tragic Hero|tragic]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7emozOvUkUg Hakan's theme], unfortunately not as fast-paced and funny as his reveal trailer theme. Still good, though.
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK3oMkNvQrI On the subject of said trailer], it counts as both a [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] ''and'' Funny, since (in the words of someone else) you are watching Hakan "violate" most of ''SF'' history while a singing [[Animaniacs|Yakko Warner]] is serenading you.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzOckSK5f8U Ibuki's theme], [[Fan Nickname|given the title of]] "Jazzy Kyoto".
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LowxyZMiRQM Adon's theme] is about as metal as you can get in ''Street Fighter IV''.
*** What, you didn't think they would forget about the characters who didn't have a theme is the original ''SFIV''? Gentlemen, I present the best version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyXD290DZhQ Vega's theme] ever made.
*** Let's not forget [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeE3jsRN5tI Balrog's theme] which sounds something akin to a [[Daft Punk]] song. It has been [[Memetic Mutation|christened]] "FUCK YO' DIGNITY" as a [[Take That]] to Dudley, his rival.
*** Here's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvLbClCQlOA Gen's], which the kind of theme you ''don't'' want to hear in a dark corner of China.
** Seth gets a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FlSAAua7y4 brand-new theme] to go with his new stage (which is, coincidentally, a post-destruction version of his old stage). It's agreed unanimously that it is a lot better than his old theme.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBhEbv576hQ Juri's theme], in all its [[Nightmare Fuel|horror]] thanks to the screams you can hear in the background.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_Ox7ifjz70 THIS IS A STUPID DOPE MIX! NOW GET ON THE DANCE FLOOR, KEEP IT CLASSY, AND LET'S FIGHT LIKE GENTLEMEN!]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE4B6RfA5oU Guy's theme], [[Fan Nickname|christened]] "Jazzy Metro" to combat Zangief's "Jazzy Russia".
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYjM-Jgr2CE Fei Long's theme], which combines hard rock and one hell of a Chinese violin/flute one-two punch. Finally, [[Viewers are Morons|people can stop mistaking it for Rufus' theme]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UUZG2Ai1JY Dan's theme]. Retro funk Saikyo groove!
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w203rFtgBjU Makoto's theme]. Not quite as "Spunky" as before, but good nevertheless.
** Listening to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrhG1H8Dkoo Blanka's theme] with its drum, bass, and bongos makes you think that he's landed in a ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' game and shit is going to get real.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYzyO1hr3Y8 T. Hawk's theme]. Viva Native America!
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MhDq4ALCnY Korea.] Don't forget the new stage music! Also, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M1QJ_9f8pA Solar Eclipse], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVvo86kY9eA India] and last, but not least, the awesome [[Final Fight|Metro City]] stage theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xrErp99lNw Skyscraper Under Construction].
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2JL0cPVnJE Trial Stage] theme, which sounds like an awesome ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' boss theme.
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIKnAkmVdMA&fmt=18 credit roll theme]. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3h8Hdsb9F4&fmt=18 vanilla SFIV version], though it was also a medley of the themes, just used the actual stage themes mostly unchanged. The ''Super'' version, however, keeps them stylistically similar and it flows much better.
** You can't have a list of awesome music from SSFIV without mentioning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PW8E88OcLg Crumbling Laboratory.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2JL0cPVnJE The trial theme.]
* ''Arcade Edition'' gives us 4 new themes.
** There are two remixed versions of Crowded Street to go with each twin. Here's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi9fznWTwBA Yun's version], which is very fast paced and aggressive, more akin to the New Generation and Third Strike versions of the theme.
** And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RRKBTBGklM&feature=related Yang's version]. Much slower and calm, comparable to the Second Impact versions of the theme.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXg7sl-_KDw&feature=related Evil Ryu's theme], a [[Dubstep]] fusion remix of Ryu and Akuma's themes, representing the corruption of the Satsui no Hadou within Ryu.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF2HWKGzIMc&feature=related Oni's theme], a more evil sounding, techno-metal remix of Akuma's theme.


== ''Street Fighter EX'' ==
* Say what you want about ''[[Street Fighter EX]]'', but you ''cannot'' deny that the games had great music. Point in case, the themes from ''EX3'':

** Doctrine Dark's Theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ-gY9GYQ9A Under Tube.]
** Darun's Theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9oqTxlOhPg INDRA Bridge of TA·SO·GA·RE.]

** And in what might be one of the most [[Badass]] themes to ''ever'' grace the series... Garuda's Theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwK4bSm2JUw Stronger.]
*** His ''EX2'' theme and ''EX3'' midboss theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjBsTuDEXak More Stronger] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WIito8jToQ Great Stronger], weren't anything to scoff at either.
*** There should be a law that states that you can't bring up the ''EX'' series' music without mentioning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWt-nOFSifc Digital Ignition] at least once.
** [[Memetic Mutation|I'M ON A]] <s>[[Memetic Mutation|BOAT]]</s> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCX5BvADbHE TRAIN!] <ref>And no, this was not intended to be a followup to Necro's "Get On A Train" from the ''III'' section.</ref>
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF_EqUcTU30 Frozen Mist], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WkxASx9MkE Green Shower], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwVeuL8v45s Phantom Bomb] (all from ''EX2'') were pretty stellar.
*** Add [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoDUeoxP8D0 The Infinite Earth], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-ZaGlEZi6E Crash Power Plant], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y09JacPZLi8 White Field], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKONkkGfV3E Lost Sea], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZExRjftRI54 Fake World], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3YigXjWJAs Irene] to that list, will ya?
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaEpuDnBUoI Regenerate] might be perhaps the most epic credits roll BGM in ''SF'' history.
*** And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBrTmR2d-f0 this] might possibly be the most epic character select theme this side of ''3rd Strike''.
** Sure, [[Put on a Bus|he was only there for one game]], but Akuma received the aptly-named [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJwMVC5XUco God Hands.]
** Original Mode of ''EX3'' threw a musical curveball by giving each stage its own theme instead of your opponent's respective theme. Aside from the aforementioned "Great Stronger", check out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0Z2jm3lwAE Move (Stage 1)], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok6fR4--rIQ Add on Love Tree (Stage 2)], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmQr4wjDU9Y Ancient Zone (Stage 4)], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvM0vVpiqFA Burry Home (Stage 5)], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OESr_fML94 Final Battle.]


== Fan Mixes ==
* An official ''Street Fighter Tribute Album'' exists which includes arrangements by famous composers. Most notable of these is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODWeirgcpQ8 Ryu's Theme] by no other than Takenobu [[Daytona USA|DAAAAYYYTOOOONAAAAAAA]] Mitsuyoshi. It must be heard to be believed.
* ''Street Fighter'' remixes aren't exactly few and far between, but on [[YouTube]], there's quite a few videos of someone named "Lee Kyung Won" playing, among other videogame tunes, classic ''Street Fighter'' themes on his guitar. The best are [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oss7nn5yn9M Charlie Nash], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWx3wlaC9Mc Guile], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp9iUT0eO7Q Cammy White], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5nT0rKStAM Dan], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GswMc4Tq__g Ryu.]
* What happens when you get a group of [[Promoted Fanboy|life-long Street Fighter fans and tell them ,"Hey, we want you guys to write the soundtrack to SSF2THDR"]]? The answer: [http://sf2.ocremix.org/ the Blood on the Asphalt] project. The high points in an already awesome series involve [http://djpretzel.web.aplus.net/songs/sf2/Blood_on_the_Asphalt_16_Jose_the_Bronx_Rican_Spittin%27_Narcissism_(Vega_Stage).mp3 Spittin' Narcissism (Vega)]{{Dead link}}, [http://djpretzel.web.aplus.net/songs/sf2/Blood_on_the_Asphalt_06_Jose_the_Bronx_Rican_-_Thank_You,_Dee_Jay_(Dee_Jay_Stage).mp3 Thank You Dee Jay (Dee Jay)]{{Dead link}}, and [http://djpretzel.web.aplus.net/songs/sf2/Blood_on_the_Asphalt_17_bLiNd_vs._Leifo_Urban_Uppercut_(Sagat_Stage).mp3 Urban Uppercut (Sagat).]{{Dead link}}
** Actually, that's the soundtrack that made people interested. The outcome of the ''SSFIITHDR'' OST is [http://ocremix.org/album/12/oc-remix-super-street-fighter-ii-turbo-hd-remix-official-soundtrack much better.]
*** Keep in mind some of the songs on the OST are directly taken from earlier entries of the site, and the Blood on the Asphalt album itself. Sexy Trunks (Balrog's theme) was originally uploaded to OC ReMix in 2003!
* Hyadain's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuIB4jshjO0 The World Warrior].{{dead link}} That is all.{{context|reason=So, 'dead link' is all that could ever be said about this video?}}
* Several [[YouTube|YouTubers]] try their hands at putting their own spins on these themes. Needless to say, it works. Check out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSWHMheTz4M Good Fighter (Jazzy Tokyo mix)] (Ryu and Ken's theme in ''III: New Generation'') by jelehu, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReiwGI0gKyw Summertime in London], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK4IY7g14uE Year of the Gentleman], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ynfkbAPcOY Good Fighter (Hip-Hop Remix)], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WSX3pBNUeU Backbreaker Revolution] (the first two are Dudley themes: "Leave Alone" from ''NG''/''2nd Impact'' and "You Blow My Mind" from ''3rd Strike'', respectively; the third one is another "Good Fighter" remix, based off of its ''2I'' version; the last one is Hugo's "Bottoms Up" from ''2I'') by MaxieDaMan, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKHTN_iHTXk Chun-Li's Downtime] by Kariu for starters.
** Speaking of DJ Kariu, his improvised theme for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rInc9P8ZJJ0 Akuma] and his remix of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rj-vm0TwsA Double Impact's Gill] are awesome as well.
* Five words: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3qus-O2uGA Fresh Prince vs Guile's theme].
