Her theme is from 1996, which predates a silly drawn series that has a target audience of children. The main instrument is also traditional with relation to century old sword warfare, not to whatever decides to use it improperly in fiction.
@EmptyKingdoms Absolutely true but it was actually Arika, the developer of the EX series, who deserve the credit for the kick ass soundtrack. Capcom just published it. If you have the time check out other Arika developed games (Megaman Network Transmission, Endless Ocean 1+2, Technic Beat, etc) you'll notice (or rather hear) they all have INCREDIBLY good and catchy tunes. Arika is just awesome when it comes to the music in their games.
@jediknightgeo Why! Thank you, I don't wanna sound agresive, but I already knew this, just my mistake for pointing out Capcom as the "soundtrackers". I recall looking to the black screen with "ARIKA" written in blue and saying out loud, like Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter narrator: "ARIKA VS CAPCOM" Haha! So much fun back in those gold old days.
Thank you for recommending the games soundtracks, from those you've cited, only Megaman Network Transmission is much of my dislike.
In my opinion, I think people need to stop caring about other peoples likes, If someone wants to be obsessive over a show (Not saying that they are) Then let them. :I And STFU, No one cares about how much you hate Naruto, Nor should anyone be so offended by the fact you like it. >->
I want my Street Fighter Alpha Characters back -.- All of them ecspecially Hokuto, Skullomania and Garuda they were so awesome, but no we have to get that weird turkish wrestler in SF4 who sh*t out his enemys with his ultimate o.O WTF!!!!!!!
It's weird, if you think about it. Most character that wear headbands LOOK like that have big forehands, but when they take them off, they have NORMAL sized foreheads. Very strange...
Other than that, I like Hokuto's theme most! she is a bad-ass character! ^_^
Man I never get tired of this song ever since I first listened to it in 1997 up till today it is still my most favorite VGM, its just so lively and mysterious at the same time
Do you guys want to see Garuda, Skullomania, Pullum Purna, Hokuto or any of the other Street Fighter EX characters in future games? If we can get enough signatures we can show Capcom that these great characters are wanted! If you don't have a Twitter account, please create one so you can sign! Were trying to get at least 1,000 signatures.

I like her a lot. She is Inspiration that I was introduced to Aikido and has studied aikido. Love at first sight since the first time we met and I have studied Japanese until now. She's the best sister that I love Hokuto
I know I spamming much, but realy capcom, why not Hokuto in sf4? Look at her, even when she is just doing nothing but stare somewhere she is badass !! I say Hokuto is the best thing ever happened to Street Fighter, go ahead haters.. reply!
@WW3seeker Like the highest rated comment said. Capcom never bought the characters Akira made and I think I read some where even if they wanted to buy them I dont think Akira is selling them.
the reason why Hokuto is not in sf4 (besides copyright bullshit) is that if she would be she would kick Juris, Vipers and even Chun-Li's ass with no problem and that would ruin all their girly business storyline that they made there.
I know why she protect her bosom with the red plate: because her breast are so big they would obstacolate her - the more stark ladies look, the more horny they are. And that's true, I had a gal similiar to Hokuto - however from South Africa - and she was... yummy!
@KennethMoreland : Ha that's funny! Just a few seconds ago a guy said that this theme sounds like music from Naruto (on another video) and I said the same thing... well I said "get the fuck out of this page" but the princlple's the same. XD
@kixx6 Then search for Tomohito Aoki . . . he is that awesome bassist you hear on most of these Street Fighter tracks. (He died in 2006 of a heart problem).
i think its cause it will be VERY hard for them to make the ex characters fit the canon of the already existing street fighter universe. unless thery made ex come after 3rd strike as a contination of the street fighter story
I really wish Capcom fully owned SF EX so they could put Hokuto and Skullomania in SSF4 has DLC but that'll never happen V_V Would have been awesome though!
OMFG!!!! Tell me why i returned my copy of this!?!? Never listen to your friends kids when they tell you to trade in great games because they are all playing Tekken Tag (also a good game but come on!!!) This soundtrack is AMAZING.
Just putting it out there in case people didn't know, Hokuto's design is almost an exact replica of the garb that is commonly worn by priestesses of Japanese Shrines, though typically the outfits would have red bottoms, not blue. (I believe Hokuto's alternate outfit has red bottoms instead of blue.)
@Gravelneed I don't know about that, but in my opinion she is a street fighter, since most KOF characters tend to be more wild and have anime-ish costumes, but most of the original SF2 characters were simple and iconic in design, hence hokuto's simple style, from the traditional garb to the simple hair, to the simplicity of the animation of her moves, the only noteworthy comparison to her is Kasumi Todoh, and that's because of their costumes only
I remember when I first heard this when I was younger the first person that came to my mind was Guy for some odd reason 0_o...Anyways I love the Street Fighter EX music!! One of the most overlooked fighting games if you ask me
i like street fighter EX series too i think its better then SS4 a little but EX charcters sure had way better new charcters then SS4 Juri the only one that was cool
