Best VGM 468 - Super Street Fighter II - Balrog's Theme

[dkcmaster45]

HUZZ-oh wait wrong balrog :).I love this song.

[hyfynorris]

The "beatstyle" of the music is so Capcom-classic... it makes me remmeber Goof Troop

[nakaroxx]

i miss the whoooaaah

[ericsayres]

2 people lost their fight money

[ProtossX]

BALROG IS THE MAN

[perun1nj]

right around 0:04 Balrog always interupts the music with "BLOORAGH!!!!"

[thenintendogamer]

Bleh. I don't know what people are talking about, SF2 Turbo versions sound way better than Super.

[bastien20bis]

AHAHA taste my fist

[TheShoe1990]

Balrog: I'm gonna blare my theme song while I count.... MY FIGHT MONEEY!!

[arkmov]

EPIC!

[TheTKCreborn]

this is probably one of the best of the SNES version. Overall i like the Genesis soundtrack the best as it sounds more true to the CPS1. CPS2 version of this song is the best

[TheTKCreborn]

@TheTKCreborn the Genesis version of Champion Edition i mean. The genesis version of Super sounds like crap

[drunyon214]

Wow, this sounds amazing compared to the Street Fighter II version. I never realized until recently they upgraded the songs so much for this game. Guile's Theme was really upgraded too.

[Valstrath]

HUAHHHH!

[Near26]

i hope i'll see cammy's theme in the next numbers =)

[Odin5d]

it was my fav sf theme but the new versions are shit :-|

[Huramibit]

The claps make the theme, and the stereo sound makes the claps. In mono, this would sound less than half as good!

[METALGEARSOL1D]

Class of Super Nintendo right here! Balrog's theme was always my favorite. Out of all the Street Fighter themes, I thought his was most memorable. The lights, girls, and the black dude that always lost his bet--just epic.

[pelletier1986]

I can't believe how much I played this song in the last couple of days... SO. EPIC.

I even found myself starting my snes on 2-players on this stage with infinite time, just to listen to it in loop... :/

[Darreltwittle]

this is definitely the SNES version. I prefer the genesis version for sure.

[TheMadPacX]

I have the genesis SSF2. this aint wat im lookin for..

[Supermariofan14]

They're right, Supra. SNES version is a lot more clear.

[cryptonomicon25]

@Supermariofan14

@ThanesIronheart

Can't you fools see that this question was already asked and answered before by Supra himself? If you ever owned a genesis, you'd know that it's utterly incapable of creating sounds like this. This is THE SNES sound, and any fool who's owned one could see that.

Just take the time out to search for what the Genesis version sounds like and even a musically challenged moron could tell the difference. It's easier than putting in a bullshit comment.

[ThanesIronheart]

This is not the SNES version

[RicksonGracie93]

the number one ost video game

[VoyagesInEnglish]

i cant figure this game out. i just mash buttons

[SuperMario811]

This is the Japanese version! I can tell by the lead instruments. I have both versions, that's the reason why I know anyways.

[xxdjclix995xx]

i love old school beat of super street fighter best game all time

[jandersonjr]

One of my favorite SSFII music themes...

[GebouYeah]

This theme is AWESOME. Very underrated.

[Lux019]

lol this song is better with only a speakers. The harmonic are useless.

[SpuddCroily02]

I hate to say it but,SSF2 translated very shitily to sega and super nes. I used to play it in the arcade as a kid and was disappointed even as a little kid when i saw it on sega. BUT a true version of the arcade classic does exist on ps2 in the SF anniversery collection. its great to finaly have a real version of this game you can play at home- you should put the better version on- i agree. cool playlist anyway you got some real classics.

[amelioratio]

Cammy's theme from this game was by far the best. Can you upload that one as well? Awesome work Darky!

[mr3urious]

Why this instead of the higher quality arcade version?

[linearxl]

Although I hated playing as or against Balrog, you couldn't help to be caught in this tune. Also, I'm wondering if Capcom ran out of musical ideas. They had to have used part of this for the MMBN theme :P

[theqman24]

@linearxl yeah if you listen to E.Honda's theme from ALpha 3 then Pharoah Man's theme from Mega Man 4 they sound a little bit the same

[hotcarl84]

gotta listen to this while cruising down the strip at night in vegas

[KensukeAizen]

is not the original version

anyway another great choice

[trior27]

Why isn't there Ken's theme? Or Guile?:(

[CodeXCDM]

Ken, Ryu, and Guile's are the most played out of all of them... and also... pretty much ALL the SF2 tracks are ****ING Epic.

I imagine he wanted to pick just one track... so he picked a lesser played but still as awesome track.

[Sephiko]

I'm glad I got to experience the game as a kid. I played it at a friend's house, in the basement. There were a lot of epic 2P battles when we invited more people!

[Aibit654]

i love street fighter ima buy the 4th one on monday!

[B370N1]

Never really played Street Fighter, I fail at fighting games, but this song is nice.

[Honatuto]

Also, this makes me wonder - is Spiderman's theme from either Marvel Super Heroes or Marvel vs. Capcom ever gonna be on here? <3

[Honatuto]

Y'know, all the music from Street Fighter 2 was awesome.

Even Dhalsim's, which was UTTERLY AND TOTALLY FUCKING RUINED by those trumpeting elephants.

[ten8d]

damn fucking old skool level even the sound hahahah

[Yarnest91]

the hd remix version is better

[broncovols]

My favorite from SSF2 is Guile's stage. I hope to see that on your list.

[SupraDarky]

This is a direct convert from the SNES spc set. You can also check a video already on youtube by typing "Balrog - Super Street Fighter II - Genesis/SNES Comparison" where it actually compares both versions. The genesis version sounds a lot inferior.

[jesserobles]

oops!

my bad xD

I was so blinded by the "Street Fighter II" that didn't see the SUPER!!

xDDD

sorry ;P

[ZeZwede]

best will always be the original SF2 Snes version of Ken's stage. always. =)

[xCHWinter]

Probably my favourite Street Fighter II song, possibly second to Cammy's theme. I would want to gamble more money if I heard this, people should play a live version of this at different casinos.

[nesstor001]

i like more zangriefs theme but this one is pretty enjoyable i guess

[SupraDarky]

Again, this is the SNES version. :P

[DukeNukem2020]

@SupraDarky This is SNES version, it sounds too clear to be Genesis(not to say Genesis had bad sound, it was too synthesized).

[Xataret]

This is the Genesis version of the song :( Bleh

[SupraDarky]

This is the SNES version.

[Valis77]

I hope they play this music as the casino.

[CrazyMan03]

Balrog/M. Bison

Vega/Balrog

M.Bison/Vega.

So weird.

[Jolly2Lolly]

imho, looking at the names.

balrog being m bison can make sense.

vega being balrog uhm, sounds weird but ok.

calling vega m.bison ... it just "sounds wrong" to me. =)

[Jolly2Lolly]

calling m bison vega*

[CrazyMan03]

It does sound wrong. But in Japan, that's how it is. Which is weird.

[Jolly2Lolly]

yeah i know =)

[VGKing]

Oh Balrog, I know your true name. You don't need to worry; nobody will hurt you, Mike Bison. Who could hurt a guy with such a great song (and massive fists)?

[TuxedoRay]

I also dug Vegas theme. As for Balrogs, my fave was on the import anniversary cd. A remix that was nearly 8 minutes long & rocked the house! Kens rocked as well.

[UltimaShadow7]

I love this theme, for some reason it wasn't remixed in Street Fighter 4 D=
