@RenegadeC It's more raw and not as compressed. They cleaned it up a lot for the final release. This is far superior to the snes which is what they were going for. I like them both the same.
@pcangeldust This is a better theme than any of Ryu's themes on PS1, 2 or 3. Low bit doesn't take away from this theme's greatness. Plus, renegade has done a PHENOMENAL job with the transfer.
I think the music sounds so much better on mega drive......i mean hours spent on this game......and shsssshhh this stage.....Ryu was fucking hard to beat seriously......him and ken.....mostly ryu....
Yea street fighter 2 special champion edition for the genesis had the best theme songs to me. All the ones on snes had that annoying trombone sound in it or sum'n
this version of the game on sega is the best street fighter music of any version of all street fighters on any consoles...brings back such sick memories!!!!!!.......round 1 fight......you win!!!!
Ryu starts to sell himself weak, and makes you think you pwned him. You begin to feel more confident in your skills against him
(ROUND 3)
Ryu knows youre big in the head for "pwning" him last round, He unleashes in insane combo of Hadoukens with Shoryukens chained together with no lag time. You lose miserably...
Then Ryu looks to the screen, pointing at your beaten carcass, and laughs at you mockling.
@ryanhitmanfury It has to do with compression and range. The Genesis had a lower range of sound output to work with thus allowing most of it's games to have a louder more booming sound but due to soundchip limitations it ended up sounding a bit more raw like actual arcade machines on it's launch. The Snes version sounds rushed and nasaly, a symptom of extreme compression.
@ryanhitmanfury this is great, great for street fighter, but when it comes to SNES just throw in the Mega Man X name and a whole bunch of Mega drive hits dont even compare.
This is the best version of the best song in the whole Universe. No matter how old I get, that intro never fails to send chills down my spine. That'll be true for as long as I live.
Everytime I listen to this I remember Ryu's little "tick" when the AI starts to wanna kick your ass it jabs in the air three times and comes after you XD.
YES! THIS is the version of the song I ALWAYS looked for! I had SF II: CE for the genesis, spent an entire weekend teaching myself ALL moves because I had only the cartridge and I fell in love with the Street Fighter Music for that point on. Such a good weekend...Ah Youth,,,<3
@chuydesorbitado sure u can find them!! ebay, loads on ebay :) remember do a little uppercut just out of guiles reach and he will do his kick move then you can smash him!!
Know comment is a year old, but nigga try playing it with the standard 3buttoner where you have to press start to switch between punches and kicks, up the difficulty nigga UP IT!
All the Ryu themes are good. Except for the one on Street Fighter Alpha 3. This version is the best one to me. Round 1 FIGHT!!!!! lol Memories of Sega Genesis. Im glad I still have mines.
Ryu's theme wasnt tight. It didnt even sound nowhere near his regular theme. If the alpha 3 wanna have new themes for the fighters, keep them retro like alpha 2, street fighter 4, alpha 2 gold. Im tryin 2 argue or talk mess or nuthin. Just tryin 2 get my opionion across.
Totally agree with Renegade, both of you are right in your own way. Ryu's original theme here was amazing, but you have to move on eventually and the Alpha 3 music did that well for certain characters Ryu being one of them among a few other. Same with SF3 3S
yeah Alpha 3 soundtrack though having new themes was pretty good though i can't say that i like SF3 soundtrack, it's not my style making it my least favorite Street Fighter game (also didn't like most of the new characters) but that's my opinion and i know that many people love SF3
@Renegade466isback You're insane, I could never get sick of the SF2 themes, the music doesn't even come CLOSE in the subsequent Street Fighter games, All forgettable techno garbage. SF2 themes will live on forever.
Hey man I love the SF2 soundtrack as much as the next guy. and what you said is exactly WHY I dont want to hear them remixed, because the SF2 songs become forgettable techno garbage, SF4 anyone?
@Renegade466isback true i would love to see that theme remixed in some future game, along with vega's theme "crimson" which to me, is the best one of the game
I have to agree, Alpha 3's soundtrack just wasn't up to scratch. It was filled with adrenaline, and got you pumped, but it didn't have memorable tunes, which is a shame.
Still, it's good to kick back to this great tune!

Even though the Game is the Same, they had COMPLETELY different Play and Feel for me on the Different Consoles (SNES and Megadrive)
Snes Version seemed smoother and more "Homely" type gameplay
Megadrive version was more gritty and Arcadish.
That is just my opinion though.
