@SuperTugah yeah. Some people like it, some others don't. It reminds me of breath of fire 3 and its acid jazz themes, as well as gran turismo 2. two games which often are criticized because of those specific tracks.
That guitar solo at the end is simply mind blowing. the bass guitar, the jazzy solo in the middle, the piano, the drums.. man this whole song is a work of art.
This theme is the best thing that came out of this game. It's probably the worst street fighter game of the whole series. Capcom do really make some sick videogame music. Shame sf4s music is so crappy.
This whole piece would be categorized as jazz fusion. If you like it, then check out a Japanese jazz fusion band called DIMENSION. Most of their members played on the Street Fighter Ex plus a soundtrack.
Thank you man,you discovered to me a jazz fusion!I love SFEX game and music from this game too much.Now i'm listening a great jazz fusion bands like Casiopea,Dimension,T-square,Trix and others,for me this is the best music my ears can hear,thank you man and greetings from Croatia!
haven't heard any of the tracks in SF4 yet, so this is my most favorite. each instrument stands on its own. had this made into mp3 by recording it via VX2100 camcorder. ha ha
I'm playing the game again, and when I have to fight in this stage, I take my time to knock out Guile/Allen, just to listen to the song. Absolutely great. ;D
I always thought this would be a great alternative for Guile.
I can imagine him sitting on top of a helipad base with a tank top and army pants on as usual, with really thick black eye glasses looking over the sun as he drinks a cold one.
Honestly I'm still very fond of Guile's old school theme...but this song is way too nice to knock either
Guile should of got this as a second them like Ryu got two themes. Sagat should of also got his theme from Street Fighter Ex2 which imo is his best theme in any game
the band who made this song is Dimension, i got street fighter ex plus alpha just before having a cd of uzeb, and when i was younger i was always thinking "street fighter ex plus alpha sounds sometimes a bit like uzeb" xD...
and i discovered dimension made the ost (fusion band)
The best theme in the game next to Doctrine Dark's theme. This one can actually give you goosebumps, though; especially with the way the piano plays into the strong part of the song.
@BrooklynNY1992 true true buddy....i remember back in 1997 i used to play trainning mode against Guile just to listen to this dope tune in loop (unlimited time ^^)
This is the best theme on ex plus hands down...the transition from jazz to rock is so gradual and amazing you don't even realize it...if you don't like rock you wouldn't even care when the transition comes.
Exactly. I agree that hte music was sensational, but even the look and the feel of the game was great. the direction the designers went with the graphics look more realistic than the cartooney approach they are taking to SF4. EX was a great game and I felt like it played seamlessly compared to other SF versions. In summation, EX was my fav. series
Say what you will about the EX series. It might not have been a completely playable game, but the music was phenomenal, and that alone made it worth playing and replaying.
I actually prefer EX to the main series for various reasons. Other than chain super combos, I find this game to be free from the abuse of exploits that are so abundant in the 2D street fighter titles. I also feel that the characters are far more original in EX (not just new takes on existing characters). The fact that the music is so great is just an added bonus for me.
Can someone once again remind me what genius wrote the music for Street fighter ex plus a? I forget. I would also like to know as many musicians as possible that contrubited.
Ayako Saso, Takayuki Aihara, and Shinji Hosoe were the composers of the music for Street Fighter EX. Each of them did different tracks. They all came back together to re-arrange and compose new music for EX Plus Alpha.
For instance, Takayuki Aihara composed Rising Dragoon (Ryu's theme), Ayako Saso composed Protective God of Light (Ken's theme), and Shinji Hosoe composed Tenkyaku Buka (Chun-Li's theme).
That's very helpful, and thank you! One thing I cannot find, however, is the musician credits for the soundtrack (who played what instrument). I am longing to know!
I love SFEX music but I honestly don't understand whats the point of uploading a video on youtube showing cover art and playing themes? Why not just download the theme from Galbadia Hotel?
Well its not that hard to search :P theres way more sites that offer whole OSTs and video game mp3s too. Your vids arent harming anyone though, so keep doin what your doin. ^.^b
