I loved it back then and to this day, I'm so less impressed with this arrangement. This was one of the first game music arrangements I had the chance to hear. At the end of the soundtrack is an arrangement of Zangief's theme, mostly using a high-quality MIDI set-up and a live saxophone. No doubt about it: This soundtrack has personality to spare. For the ladies of the game Chun-Li, the lightning-kicking chick from China, and Sakura, the Japanese schoolgirl who idolizes Ryu and likes Street Fighting because it's fun these themes are perfect. Both of these themes are heavy-hitters, adding an extra layer of bass making the music even more powerful. Not surprisingly, all of these themes are wacky, off-the-wall, and a lot of fun to listen to. Norimaro is Capcom's version of a wacky Japanese comedian. Dhalsim has always been sort of a parody of mid-eastern culture. Dan is a joke character, made to look like Ryu and Ken to poke fun at characters in SNK's Art of Fighting games. Shuma is a squid-like monster that attacks by throwing eyeballs and rolling itself into a ball to attack. Shuma-Gorath /Dan / Dhalsim / Norimaro. Yep, no doubt about it: these are definitely villain themes. Omega Red's theme uses a spooky-sounding synthesizer with a very slow melody that builds anticipation as it moves throughout the piece. The melody for Vega's theme is played by a loud bass guitar, complemented by heavy drumming and an overall dark tone. Blackheart's theme uses an eerie sound effect to complement the guitar in his theme. Spiderman's theme is perfect for the web slinging crime fighter who swings high above the city. Captain America's theme comes in blasting with fanfare fit for a superhero arriving to save the day, and continues as he 'kapows' the bad guys to death. This may seem like a kid's game, but it's exactly what you should be able to do with a good fighting game soundtrack, as opposed to the generic techno-crap Capcom seems content with spoon-feeding us nowadays. Well, both of these themes use a menacing series of beats to complement the guitars and saxophones that are heard in the melodies. For both Akuma and Wolverine, I would use the word "dangerous". Indeed, his theme starts out with a blaring of saxophones and never loses steam as it plays through. His adjectives would be "flashy" and "frantic". On the other hand, Ken is the polar opposite of Ryu. Nothing fancy, just two consistent and steady pieces that calmly alternate a guitar and a saxophone. The same adjectives are those I would use for their themes. Case in point: I would use the words "consistent" and "steady" for Ryu, the Street Fighter who calmly goes about his business, and for Cyclops, the ever-present leader of the X-Men. In just about every case, the same adjective will hold true for the character's theme. I'm going to give a couple of adjectives to describe each character. ![]() I do know that those I'm familiar with have been beefed up and are much stronger than their original counterparts.įor this review, I'm going to play a little game. Anything else, I can't say if it's original or not (I would assume the themes for Blackheart, Shuma-Gorath, and Hulk were also used in Marvel Super Heroes). ![]() ![]() Of the ones present, I do know that Captain America and Spiderman's themes originated in Marvel Super Heroes, and Omega Red's comes from X-Men: Children of the Atom. My own familiarity with the origins of these Marvel tracks is limited. Some of the tracks for the Marvel characters, which appear in other games, are remixed superbly. Of course, not all of the content here is original. The result is arguably the weakest in the VS series soundtracks trilogy, but when you come up with new themes that hold their own against the original Street Fighter themes, it means you're doing something right. Luckily, the Capcom composers who'd done X-Men VS Street Fighter's soundtrack, Yuki Iwai and Yuko Takehara, chose a completely different route for this game's music: Instead of arranging all of the familiar Street Fighter themes as they did in X-Men VS Street Fighter, they decided to give the "Street Fighters" new themes. As far as the game went, it was basically a yearly update to X-Men VS Street Fighter, with some fine-tuning to the frantic gameplay (character balance, adding in assist attacks) and some changes to the roster (mostly taking out the X-Men characters for other familiar Marvel faces, like Spiderman, Hulk, and Captain America). Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter was the second game in Capcom's VS fighting series.
