I never noticed this before, and I played the crap out of FM for a couple years before Shenmue came out, and Shenmue has since became one of my all-time favorite games. Wow, I'm such a noob!
People often forget that Shenmue originally started life as a Saturn game, developed by the same team/studio behind VF/FV/FM. It's a shame Shenmue never saw the Saturn release, the beta videos show it to be absolutely amazing.
This is Fighters Megamix, which takes characters from VF and FV and sticks them in one game (so it plays like VF/FV, depending on which mode is selected).
This might have been the theme they created when the game was undergoing development on the Saturn. Possibly at the same time this game was released. So we all had Shenmue thrown at us without even realizing it.
wtf. I either never heard this or never noticed it. although it doesn't sound completely the same

Thanks for the info! Do you know if there are any other relevant themes used as endings on Fighters Megamix? After all there's like 10 of them.

The main point of this is, both Fighters Megamix and the Shenmue series were developed by Yu Suzuki of SEGA AM2.

either way is fine...since Jacky is pretty much a human version of Sonic.
No human being can be that fast and enthusiastic all the time..crpt Jacky

It's eerily similar, but not exactly the same.

Are you sure it is Virtua Fighter? It looks like Fighting Vipers 2 (still on Saturn)..

Fighting Vipers 2 was a Model 3/Dreamcast game.

Huh? Well, it isn't orchestrated like it is on the Dreamcast version (it's done through the Saturn synth hardware) but it...
Wait a minute...
Oh, great! What was I thinking?! This is SHENHUA's Theme, not the Shenmue theme! Er... thanks for correcting me?

Good catch. I never noticed it myself.

Maybe the Shenmue theme was based off of this instead. That seems to make more sense to me.
