Killer Instinct 2 'Tusk Theme'

[taotd]

18 people knew they could never be as macho as Tusk

[LamonicBomb]

i love how kids these days try to say a vid game theme from the 90's or 80's sounds like something from today. uh, shouldn't it be the other way around, kiddies?

[KpCloudM]

I'm only here because of Zubaz.

[cmfields86]

DAH DAH DAH!!!! DAWIEEE!!!!! Tusk wins :(

[wdfghjkl]

Tusk vs. Dragonborn go!

[TheChente95]

i would keep on loosing on tusk on purpose just to listen to this song. awwww good memories.....

[vidaa82]

i walk around saying Dah! all day. lol i love it. i say it in the gym after i lift heavy weight. haha.

[simpleyvic]

@vidaa82 YESSSSSSSSSS!!! LMFAO...

-.-

[LNERMallard]

DAH!

[inphasesith]

STOLEN FROM CONAN THE DESTROYER?! ANYONE?!

[CasinoCEO]

@inphasesith

Yes I think so

[Kingofironfist25]

Meteor shower!

[kazuyoshi22]

This theme sounds like something from Soul Calibur.

[squall600]

tusk the barbarian

[CasinoCEO]

The typical he-man like theme!

[kitmiljade]

kinda sounds like somethin from turok 2. l0l

[regresseur]

@kitmiljade

It is borrowed directly from the main theme to "Conan the Destroyer," which was released in 1984.

Here it is:: /watch?v=pul_QWvzB0M

[mooddog07]

@regresseur i just released that man

[mooddog07]

@regresseur yes so so true

[mooddog07]

@regresseur yes so so true but they remixed it

[chyguy66]

In comes riding Tusk on his horse!! Wait Who is this...CONAN!!!!! Now this will be a fight to the death !

[MrPrisius]

DAWH ! :D

[DraculaXHunter101]

Man Rare was fucking awesome back in the day. God Damnit Rare make fucking Killer Instinct 3 already. If Mortal Kombat,Street Fighter,Dead Or Alive,King of Fighters and Tekken came back now it's your turn. Rare just make Killer Instinct 3. It would be fucking awesome and you guys can finally get back the respect you deserve.

[PapaRatchet]

How dare you take the place of Spinal in the Big 3, newbie!

[EWOODJ]

@PapaRatchet There is only a big two in KI2. Spinal, Tusk, and Kim Wu switch places from time to time. Either one of those three could be the fight right before Fulgore.

[cmonconan]

THIS MY SONG CHECK! THE NAME!!! RIDDLE OF STEEL BITCH!!! AHRRROOOO!

[LastoftheGeeks]

You're not a man if you don't have sex while playing this song, and doing Tusk's grunts.

[cmonconan]

@LastoftheGeeks ROGER ROGER and when you finish throw in a AHRRROOO from the 300. madness? no this is SHAGGING!

[2ruthl355]

@LastoftheGeeks LMFAO!!!!!

[TheSurefireGamer]

@LastoftheGeeks DAH!!!

[BrownRecluse1981]

Man this theme is freaking perfect! How can you not want to start swinging a barbarian sword around when this plays?

[pekoenlafrente]

KILLER COMBO !

[KennethMoreland]

lol @ Conan the barbarian theme to the right ----------->

[ironknuckles05]

pfft I cant believe that Rare didnt get sued by who ever had the rights to the Conan the Barbarian theme.

[Th3Matrix3]

I made one of he rawest beats ever outta this theme song I love Killer Instinct's music scores

[Hakizzle08]

This sounds like the perfect theme song for an NFL commercial

[38kal38]

i give this a 95% in video game music, it kickass like the game

[38kal38]

i give this a 95% in video game music, it kick ass just like the game itself

[Nicksolo85]

1 of the most epic sounding video game music tracks I ever listened to.

I've played KI2 in Arcades a few times but didn't get far (only had 1 or 2 coins, depending on how many the Arcades were charging).

They seriously need to bring KI1 & KI2 to current generation consoles (XBox 360, PS3 & maybe Wii).

Put both games on 1 disc & sell them in stores (my preferred method of purchasing video games) and/or put both games on 1 file so people can download them.

[SadlifeProduction]

I feel like saving a fucking princess when I listen to this theme

[MadMetalSlayer]

@SadlifeProduction it makes me wanna do other things to princesses after i save them..........

[exitcosmo1]

DONALD TUSK :)

[KennethMoreland]

Street Fighter made a comeback

King OF Fighters Made a come back

Tekken Made a comeback.

Mortal Kombat made a comeback.

COME ON! RARE!

[YeGraphicFilms]

@KennethMoreland Tekken never made a comeback....

[pratikh]

@KennethMoreland KOF's comeback was horrible. And Rare was bought by Microsoft and probably is collecting dust in their basement.

[ShadowSumac]

@pratikh KOF13 is shaping to be an awesome game.

[TheJacklopz]

@KennethMoreland you forget:

Marvel vs Capcom made also a come bak (and will make it in x2!!)

[YeGraphicFilms]

@KennethMoreland When did Tekken make a comeback?

But I DO agree that Rare should make a Killer Instinct 3.

[lucazmaxfull2]

@KennethMoreland OMG all my favorite fight videogames and i started to interest in this fight game =)

[tpatt513]

@KennethMoreland I see you know your fighting games... It's rare to see someone else knows about KOF besides Street Fighter, Tekken, and MK.

[Daycounter]

Im sooooo ready for KI3. that shit would make me love rare despite the BAD sequels to Perfect Dark & Banjo Tooie. Come on RARE!!

[YeGraphicFilms]

@Daycounter Correction: they made a PREQUEL to Perfect Dark. It wasn't meant to be like the N64 version, and it wasn't "BAD".

[BigLoc21]

They need to make Killer Instinct 3 already damnit!

[hmbnimbus]

Sound like a Final Fantasy-esque battle intro.... :D

[Dexter89ITA]

is just me or this sounds like a TV news theme?

[VTown1989]

@Dexter89ITA

I guess.... if God like Warriors were hosting it then, Yes

[FullM3talGamer]

Love the music but hated his tactics!!

[olfan92]

@FullM3talGamer Haha Tusk is fucking god i learned his monster combo yesterday :P

[Joelomite]

Rare making a KI3 with original team + original sound team = Sheer Amazement

Rare, this CAN be done. If SF4 resurrected a long-dormant franchise, then SO CAN YOU!!! Get out of your Microsoft comfort zone. Get back in that mid-90s HUNGER you guys used to have.

Let's have the comeback that you guys deserve!!!

[olfan92]

@Joelomite lol this cant be done since rare arent working on this project anymore.

[Joelomite]

@olfan92, according to Wikipedia, Ken Lobb says KI is talked about A LOT. But that still doesn't mean anything. I just wish Rare get their act together. People love to see great returns.

[olfan92]

@Joelomite Rare stopped working on killer instinct a LOOOOONG time ago, give up im right here there wont be a KI3.

[shoNuuff]

@Joelomite Yup they slept on the Goldeneye game and look what happen.

Now Activision released it on the Wii and it's getting high scores.

The fighting games are coming back and they are farting around with that stupid Kinect.

[somethinglacking1]

@Joelomite Amen!

[ThatMan0verThere]

Holy shit! I finally found this song! I heard it somewhere many years ago, and i didn't know it's name, and now, i have finally found it!

[METALGEARSOL1D]

When I was playing this as a kid, this theme used to scare me for some reason.

[kakarottossj3]

Tusk the Barbarian!

[Forylore]

They copy conan alittle the song is almost similiar but sounds awesome i never said i hate this lol

[sonicspeed3281995]

DAWH! DAWH! DAWH! DAWH! "Round 2" DAWH! DAWH! DAWH! DAWH! SUPREME VICTORY!

[pianist231]

lmao the best tactic for tusk was to press the top C button over and over :) it always made my cousin cry LOL.

[kevinleeyang]

THAW!!! THAW!!!! BLUH!!! BLUH!!! THAW!!!!!!

[chincherrinas]

look at the related videos: theres conan the barbarian XD

[chincherrinas]

push wheel?

[petujaymz]

Kicking this guy's arse with Orchid was SO satisfying, especially if you finished him with an ultra knockout.

ULTRA... COMBO... KNOCKOUT! KNOCKOUT KNOCKOUT! KNOCKOUT!

[rejectedspnx]

DAWH!

[Fluffymagic77]

CONAN!!!

[Bfjoll]

Sounds like Rocky!

[elfoSanjuanino]

awesome CONAN!!

[chocomofo79]

DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM...KROOOOMMM!!!

[ddg91able]

tusk never gets enouf credit. i mean look at him, he has a sword and he can summon a beast that'll eat yu

[gokumanvegeta]

He-man VS Tusk...

LOL He-man = Tusk

[abSOULuteD]

Conan vs Tusk...?

[THEm4rduk]

there is something of conan there

[rhapsodythebest]

WARNING!!

EPICNESS OVERLOAD RISK!!

[blackandblue85]

@rhapsodythebest The only way Rare will ever make a hardcore game is if they break ties with Microsoft and stop being a family company. Did you play Kinect Sports??? Did you see the new Rare logos??? The Rare we used to know is dead and gone.

[WolfTigerHyena]

All KI music is awsome!!

[DNE07]

@WolfTigerHyena Damn rite, lol.

[iffysam]

Awesome! Just like Basil Poledouris' score.

If you love this, check out the soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian.  Seriously.

[Berserk100]

well tusk is smilar character to conan

[bigman495]

@iffysam - Conan the Barbarian is one of my favorite film scores of all time. I agree completely!

[TheJessegyr]

Sounds like the intro music for Conan the Destroyer.

[Tesshu2288]

Tusk is one of the mightiest barbarian worrior ever He kick ass!

[keosskillz]

until Arnold came by... lol

[omgplis]

tusk is the greatest ever even his song is the greatest ever

[UltraComboer]

@omgplis He's kinda phony if you ask me.

omgplis: No one asked you jerk!

Me: *crying*

[croft1992]

RARE is ownd by microsoft

[xristo702]

I used to 1cc this game most of the time, but when I lost it was to this guy....I learned to resent the song, but I grudgingly admit it's a good one.

[Pseudopathaso]

Can't say I'm a one-man orchestra, but I'm about to record a cover of this in about 5 minutes on guitar, so hopefully that'll suffice. xP

[LorTaemar]

Tusk is most probable fighter for single player

[BLazingItaChi1]

tusk will take his sword and rip u a new one haha

[BLazingItaChi1]

probably shouldnt expect to much now RARE belongs to nintendo alone

[merkury313]

actually microsoft owns RARE I believe

[bronsonbaker]

tusk will fuck you up.

he makes it rain.

[KennethMoreland]

Tusk The Barbarian!

[Absolutxcel]

AWESOME

[TB4000]

DAH!

DAH!

HUURRRAGH HURRAAHHH!

That was pretty much Tusk's entire vocab.

[Zuranthus]

you forgot his uppercut word TAHIIIIIIN!!

[hootbutler]

@TB4000 and "dayeeeeeee"

[inuyasha103190]

Everytime I hear the ending to this song, I always imagine Tusk saying "Dah!"

[InkosiDeVinyl]

"Tusk" is pronnounced exactly like "Torsk" wich is a Danish word and means "Codfish"

[LinkSOB]

@InkosiDeVinyl I'm betting the "r" in "Torsk" isn't sounded at all, is it?

[1979777]

I love this theme - remember the first time I heard it thundering out of the KI2 machine in the local fleapit and just being floored by the epic quality of it(the fact that Basil Poledouris' legendary Conan theme remains one of my favourite scores didn't exactly disenchant me further ;O) .

Total fucking win and still stirs the blood to this day - can still recall trilling the French-horn climax under my breath all the way back to college that first afternoon!!

[Marcolectrocutioner]

DAHL!!!!

[ElRebeldeDeGuerrero]

Sounds like Conan The Barberian

[cazademonios666]

why no exist killer insntinct 3,why god why

[PHILRYABKIN]

Don't worry your prayers will be answered.Rumor has that Killer Instinct 3 will be made for the Xbox 360's Project Natal.

[cazademonios666]

really? cool i can`t imagine de new experience of gameplay

[TheChoujinVirus]

@cazademonios666

it's Rare's punishment for selling out to Microsoft

[Chikenbrain]

@cazademonios666 Killer Instinct 3=Killer Instinct Gold...

[BlackAnimeAddict]

Tusk for Soul Calibur V!!

[oakiiedoe]

FYI this Is Also the theme for Conan the destroyer!!!!

[TonyTheTigre100]

KI will never be forgotten, and Rare needs to go back to work for the next one. Business will be booming for the new KI. That is, if they were to GET UP OHHN IT!

[ZiotheZero]

Sounds pretty close to Conan the Destroyer, but I am assuming that was the point!

[oakiiedoe]

Agreed! my friend.

[TheNodedon]

@ZiotheZero Tusk knows the riddle of steel...

[QillerFox]

Yes he was this dude use to get under my skin; even when I played with Orchid he was a challenge, and no one can phase me with her, but this guy came really close but of course he failed like just like the others lol:)

[Arkanoi]

temazo 5/5 stars

[sonicspeed3281995]

what can i say about tusk: beating him was a SHIT SUCKER

[elsubz]

This guy was a pain in the ass to beat. Should had been a sub-boss

[Takoma543]

he would be awesome in soul caliber 5

[TonyTheTigre100]

Efff dat! Why didn't they just release some of the KI characters as an exclusive for SC 3 or something?

[oakiiedoe]

Agreed!

[hargosh37]

One word for this track...EPIC!

[Elbottoo]

BADASS THEME! I still remember those good ol arcade days. Tusk is like a mini boss. Fk he was one tough ass dude.

[ManMythandMirth]

With a theme tune like this, Tusk may as well be included in Soul Calibur 5!

[sentinela666]

i remenber to bal sagoth

[JMaxVG]

I love the version of the song that plays when someone is getting ready to die ^^

[palomejuegas]

So do I n_n

[Nightavenger2]

Seems like Tusk was made in the tradition of Connan The Barbarian.

[xjmainx]

the best killer instinct music ever

[valdcoups]

they got the medeivel* feel to this one spot on

[SolidEverest]

He was my favorite character in Killer Instincts 2 I used to rock with him even though I was better with Balrog err... Kimbo err... DJ Combo lol.

[mrdolby]

so epic!

[921144666]

why cant street fighter have music like this?!?!?!

[921144666]

alpha2: Nash/Charlie theme is a gooden. alpha3: Karin theme is fun. 3rd strike: Remy theme is ok. But, other than that.....Mega Man music FTW! :-)

[shinmajin23]

Thats right,but SF4 music are most of'em great

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@921144666 street fighter has just as cool music moron

[921144666]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 alpha2: Nash/Charlie theme is a gooden. alpha3: Karin theme is fun. 3rd strike: Remy theme is ok. However, Dance at Paddy Field FTW! :-)

[rhapsodythebest]

@FIGHTFANNERD3

Not really.

For me, the only one that is better from all the songs from SF games is Vega's theme from SF2 (especially the SNES version)

[Morningstack]

@rhapsodythebest So damn true!

[AaronAndersonRWP]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 Street fighter is so different anyway it all comes down to a matter of taste.

[Xfan17]

@921144666 thats because it sucks

[921144666]

thats because it has no UUUUULLLLTTRRAAA CCOOOMMMMBBOOOOOOOS!

[rhapsodythebest]

@921144666

Because you can't do CCCCCCCCOMBO BREAKERS in SF

[avidgames91091]

@921144666 just the later street fighter games, the older street fighters have very amazing music.

[zenjiros]

@avidgames91091 Yeah, you're right ---- The current Street Fighter games' soundtracks are not at all on par with the old Street Fighter games' soundtracks!! Step your game up Capcom!!

It does however appear that the newest entry in the Sonic the Hedgehog series just may have music that can compete with that of the old games! Time will tell, but from what I've heard so far, Sega's on the right track!

[anthonyr340]

@921144666 cause street fighter don't go hard like this game hahhaaha :D

[921144666]

@anthonyr340 KI = HARD CORE!

[tommyalexis1]

i like the way he summons adinosaur to eat his enemy..tusk!

[PeteDator]

When I die and return to earth as an avatar this song is playing in the background :)

[himookim]

my god it almost sounds like he man

[tavanijorge]

tusk the barbarian

[ChangGang]

This song sorta reminds me of Conan the Barbarian lol.

[ioannisdenton]

HAHAHAHA yeah man, could not agree more! awesome!

[TakumProti]

Yeah! I'm pretty sure that was the feel RARE was going for with Tusk so I don't think Tusk's theme feels Conan the Barbarianish by accident.

[alejbr4]

reminds me more of the conan the destroyer version of the theme

[Deader87]

I do like the Japanese fighting-games, but I do like the western-made fighting games. To me they feel extremely different as such I don't really associate them together

[thecommentmaster1]

Yea, i like western fighting games more because they are more darker and unlike japanese fighting games they don't look and feel the same.Western fighting games are also not as grounded in reality as japanese fighting games.

[vidaa11]

I love this music and tusk was a hadcore dude. I read his profile info. Imagine fighting somebody 6"11 380 pounds and they have a sword. LOl.

[Roew]

i forgot about his bio. jesus, why is he even using a sword, he could just slap box everyone to death lol, so freakin huge

[tavanijorge]

this music awesome

[jmaindmac]

king music

[chocomofo79]

Overlymelodramatic...in a good way though..
