[luigi4728]

kens theme does not go with everything but still a good song

[WafunSk8]

I like

[DutchNordic]

Kens theme goes real good with "The Mist's" ending.

[yanava]

I don't know why so many people label their Ken's theme as ORIGINAL, but use Super SF2 music or SF2 turbo music. THIS IS THE ONE HELL YEAH!!!

[roppie755]

I feel like I am the only one who thinks this is the best theme in Street Fighter 2

[jamesdante1101]

@roppie755 nope you're not alone

[DomIstKrieg]

@roppie755 i agree with you. Its the best by a long way.

[CrystalCloud7]

The best of the best songs from the Super Nintendo !

[Dahosfan]

Ken's theme goes very well with Ken's theme

[RvRsnake]

random guy: hey ken can i ask you something

Ken: SUREYOUCAN

[Niyari67]

nah, it was the best age of game music for your nostalgia. most game music is much better nowadays (including Ken's SF4 theme)

[koboldasylum]

Ken Theme goes with EVERYTHING!

[MrWarfsChannel]

I study to this song LOL

[pyrolee17]

[FfmT4nk]

[MrKasperabhay]

SHINRYU-KENNNNNNN !!!!

[XavantTheEnigma]

Puppy wins!

[Arento97]

kens actually american itgives his nationality on the character select screen

[BigOChunk]

@Arento97

Kens nationality is american cause that's where he was born. But his ethnicity is mostly Japanese.

[AnimeMetalFan1]

Is Ken White or Asian?I've always wondered that.

[cyrus138]

@AnimeMetalFan1 he's white japanese.

[BigOChunk]

@AnimeMetalFan1

Ken is more asian than he is white. HIs hair is originally black like an asian. He just dyed it blond. This is why his eyebrow is black and doesn't match the color of his hair. It is said he's three quarters japanese, that's 75% asian and only 25% white. His father is american and mother is japanese.

[mugflub]

@AnimeMetalFan1 Neither, he's a cartoon.

[Feilong423]

Shoryu reppa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[mrozzdude]

Sf tv series and movies make such a big deal of the hadoken, but then the game comes and spams them like a boss.

[xuiton]

sounds like top gun

[nekrosleezer]

original is better but most of us growth with snes/genesis version so it is still nostalgic

[ad1swiss]

SURE YOU CAN FADC SLAP IN THE FACE!

[dalekcaan1963reborn]

My load time is really varying at the moment, and the red line was chasing the grey loading line. I was watching in awe to see if the red one would catch up with the grey one, this music made it so thrilling.

Then I got bored.

[Webberjo]

Yes, the original version is the best!

[ShowStoppa718]

Shoryuken !!

[19HajimeSaitou91]

BAD-ASS beginning

[supermiro200]

Shouryu-ken!!!

[T3rmin4t0rN]

@supermiro200 more like: sure you can't

[Matheus29001]

Round 1 FIGHT!

[eldiablov2]

Urijah Faber=Real Life Ken

[hirakari]

I love this theme :)

[lethalfatality1]

U ALWAYS KNEW IT WAS KEN U WERE FACING WHEN U HEARD THIS THEME PAINFULLY SIMILAR TO RYUS THEME.. IF ONLY THEY KEPT IT THIS WAY THE NEWER VERSIONS SUCK!! SF2 HAD ALL GOOD STAGE MUSIC..BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THE IN GAME MUSIC ACTUALLY MEANT SOMETHING

[racefactory900]

@lethalfatality1 You need to check out Street Fighter 2 turbo HD then. It rocks.

[MrBasswelder]

No other game in the history of beat em ups had such a massive impact on gaming. Streetfighter 2 set the standard.

[ValkeSaveUs]

this theme is the better of street fighter

[jlsr4141]

kens theme is awesome but he is the weaker version of Ryu

[Rykanable]

@jlsr4141 Didn't they have ike the exact same stats, only one had one point more in defense and one on point more in offense?

[jlsr4141]

@Rykanable 2 things 1.ryu was defense and ken had offense 2. he still suckes

[Rykanable]

@jlsr4141 Meh. Compared to Guile everybody sucks anyway :P

[jlsr4141]

@Rykanable yea ha

[S0ryiu]

@Rykanable Actually Ryu had a stronger Hadouken and Ken had a stronger Shoryuken. that was it.

[ranger1er92]

@S0ryiu lies! ryu has a stronger shoryuken than ken cmon kens shoryuken has fire coming out of his fist and he says it all fast shoryuken! and when ryu does it he goes SHOR!!!!!!!! YU!!!!!!!!!!! KEN!!!!!!!!!!!! AND LIGHTENING comes out of his fist.

[S0ryiu]

@ranger1er92 I'm talking about SFII. Ryu didn't get the shinshoryuken untill Alpha. Even then, it still is not as strong as the shinryuken.

[Bboyslinky]

listen to "mighty wings - cheap trick" and it sounds almost exactly like this!!

[FCLakerona]

14 people play as Ryu

[Bl34CK]

you see his name in 2 out of three moves that him and ryu have, the hadoken and shoryuken

[DMalice24]

I like to scare the cat to this song!

[grassmanmatt]

There's a reason it is called SHO-RYU-KEN!

[Gilc3tv]

I always thought this song was just for ryu and Ken

[freakysponge02041986]

Yeah thats my song!!!!!

[Svenshinhan]

This will always be my favorite Street Fighter game. I remember a day, long ago, when I played 100 matches against a friend in a row (me as Ken, him as Ryu). Wouldn't you know, we ended at 50-50 with sweaty backs and bloodstained knuckles from our SNES controllers.

[sepultribe666]

@Svenshinhan very cool thnx :)

[racefactory900]

@Svenshinhan Good times man, good times...

[lods123dsd234]

haidoken



[crash777burn]

Hey it's Cheap Trick's song "Mighty Wings."

[sniperquasi]

0nyxheart

[zyvaXterminator]

Ken>Ryu

[darkangelcoty]

uh, discussions about Ken's ethnicity? well here's what i've heard about the whole martial arts thing

being the rish white kid his dad thought he needed discipline, so he shipped him off to Gouken to learn how to be a badass

dunno if it's true or not, but is there any argueing that it definatly made him awesome?

[FacePlant92]

Listening to this makes me SAD that there wont be anymore "coputerized" video game music, like back in the day.... This stuff is truly golden. The best age of gaming and game music...

[darrellkiely91]

@FacePlant92 I sometimes search for songs I like in 8-bit. Some would make for amazing backing to games.

[Nicaveli]

@FacePlant92 agreed, the ppl nowadays dont understand that the gameplay experience is vastly more important than aesthetics, if you didnt grow up through the 2d into 3d era then it's beyond you

[pampamproductions]

@FacePlant92 What the fuck are you talking about? music is computerized all the time.

[FacePlant92]

@pampamproductions Yeah, but this sound is PURE midi and computerized, not just a tyle choice but an actual hardware restriction. I find having little restrictions like that often helps to produce something evern more amazing.

[RedLightning05]

CAPCOM USA IS RETARDED

as much as i love street fighter, i gotta say the story in street fighter is freaking retarded.

there are so many iterations of the same story that it makes things so confusing.

not even the games are numbered properly if you're following the story.

dont get mad at me guys but ive also played tekken since the beginning and i can tell you that from 1-6 everything follows up capcom should of taken this into account but i guess to them money is that only thing that matters.

[grassmanmatt]

Best Version ever! I usually always chose either Ken's stage or Guile's stage.

[simplebodo]

Round 1 FIGHT !!!!

[19HajimeSaitou91]

[MegatronSmurf]

HOW DO YOU DO KEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can we be freinds?

ARE YOU KIDDING!!!!!! SURE YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaa



[RedLightning05]

just so you ppl know kens is Japanese American, his mother is Japanese, and his dad is Caucasian so please stop portraying ken like if hes a a white boy.

god capcom is retarded, they always mess ken up.

FUCK YOU CAPCOM USA, always changing shit.

[CWILL8907]

@RedLightning05 Exactly!!!!!!

He's not even a natural blonde.

But everybody sees him as the mascot of America.

[willfox12345]

@CWILL8907 You can have blonde hair and dark eyebrows!

I have almost black eyebrows with ash blonde hair.

[CWILL8907]

@willfox12345 Ken made his first appearance in the original Street Fighter released in 1987.Ken is three-quarters Japanese.[4] He is characterized as the former sparring partner, rival and best friend of the main character, Ryu, who trained under the same master (a character whose identity would later be fleshed out as Gouken). He wears a red keikogi, has dyed blond hair[4]and fights barefoot (in the original game, Ryu wears red shoes). That's from wikipedia.

[willfox12345]

@CWILL8907 Fair enough, but still, what I said is true, even if it doesn't apply to this particular situation :P

[Ragitsu]

@RedLightning05

He was originally wholly Caucasian. I don't know why Capcom changed this.

[RedLightning05]

@Ragitsu sorry but that does not make any sense.

the only reason ken learned that martial art was because of his mother who happened to know gouken.

that's the only reason ken even got the chance to meet ryu.

so it was his japanese heritage that got him their in the first place.

so knowing that, there's no way ken was ever 100% Caucasian.

you should remember street fighter is a game of japanese origin, and so is its company.

its capcom usa that always feels they need to westernize games.

[Ragitsu]

@RedLightning05

Tell me something: is it ever made ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CLEAR, in the original Street Fighter, or whichever game first introduced Ken, that one of his parents is in any way Japanese (and not just in terms of nationality, but ethnicity?).

From what I hear, he was originally Caucasian, but later on changed to three-quarters Japanese heritage. Some will say he is half Japanese. There seems to be little consensus here.

[Ragitsu]

@RedLightning05

And whether Capcom is Japanese or not matters little here, because, above all, they love retcons first and foremost. See: Resident Evil, Mega Man, and Final Fight.

[Ragitsu]

@RedLightning05

The original Street Fighter's manual states Ken's background in full, in regards to his ethnic heritage?

[RedLightning05]

@Ragitsu nope, im referring to the street fighter animated series that appeared on starz media.

Street fighter Alpha movies and the street fighter comic books that debuted in the 90s.

the games hold only a very small amount of information unfortunetly.

so again nothing against you personally.

SCREW YOU CAPCOM

[Ragitsu]

@RedLightning05

I've got to go with the games, since they are what originally introduced him. Ah well: perhaps I shouldn't analyze the background of a fighting game character this much.

[thevisualboy37]

This theme was included as a MIDI file with my old webcam software for some reason...

[barnettb901]

im guna use this as my entrance music for my next mma fight!

[ocelott75]

The arcade one sounds much better!

[NinjaDragon22]

great theme this game has but they're better when they get fast. anyone have the fast versions?

[dunkelheits]

Attack me if you dare! I WILL CRUSH YOU!!!

[MahadoKusanagi]

@dunkelheits

SURE YOU CAN!!!

[XLRO8]

@dunkelheits that pissed me off everytime i lost to him! but when i beat his ass i was like "oooooooohhhhh!!!! what happend i thaught you would crush me???" but then i realized that the bar only looked like it was empty and he shoriyukened me T_T

[SolidusChief]

[Choubakadabra]

I love this song, but i didn't listen a human who make me like it like when i listen the computer playing, and it's the same for many video games music

[1337ijs]

With a theme song this kickass, how is KEN not the poster character for Street FIghter?

[sumguy49]

12 people are ryu fans instead of ken fans cause they dislike this song. thumbs up this comment if you prefer ken instead of ryu!

[TutterTheOne]

@ataraba10 and thumbs down if you talk alot of nonsense -->down

[DecapitatedONE666]

@ataraba10 You're stupid

[ataraba10]

@DecapitatedONE666 how exactly am i stupid? you just say i am stupid. you dont provide any proof to this conclusion of yours.

[GamingIdiot42Neo]

@ataraba10 well... your name is decapitated one, so... if you're decapitated you have no brain, just joking. but he is still foolishly calling you stupid and should stop, otherwise other people are going to think that he's stupid.(which he most likely is)

[DecapitatedONE666]

@ataraba10 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! i know what i said dumb ass!!! :)

[ataraba10]

@DecapitatedONE666 you have officially lost this arguement. good day to you.

[MrKeraam]

It is sure, after this i will make 1000 Shuryuken against the people who bullied me!

[mariojuggernaut22]

take me on your mighty wings tonight

[MrAnomalously]

Reminds me a little bit of storm eagle stage from Megaman X.

[Shateiken]

11 people got no yellow hairs

[jungan888]

11 PPL GET A SHORYUKEN

[jufrabappa]

attack me if you dare,i will crush you!!!

[squeege57]

I always though he way saying "My leg is a broken!" lol

[xeonaphobe]

I swear I can hear "Round 1.....FIGHT" at the start of this. It's not just in my head...r-right?

[RavenAegis45]

This songs excess energy powers Ken's Haduken

[madeinscouseland]

they ruined kens theme on sf iv this right here is the shit best theme in sf bar none

[KenRulesLife]

@madeinscouseland

Indeed. They ruined it in the fourth one. I don't know what is wrong with people. If it's not broken, don't fix it. A lot of people say Guile's theme was the best, and of course it's an opinion, but Ken's theme has always been the shit.

[mossemalm]

SHORYUKEN!!!

[amcheung10]

Some famous singer should make a cover of this song but with a cooler beat and put lyrics in it lol

[benjileek]

@amcheung10 Bad idea. Leave it as it is, perfect.

[amcheung10]

Hadouken! Shoryuken! I Don't know the other one!

[Ratznium]

@amcheung10

"Sup sup Schparooka" is all I ever hear. Supposedly tetsumake senpu kyaku but that's quite a bit to be saying each time you do a flying spinny kick thing.

[NimzoForce]

This song is better than any SF Alpha songs. Street Fighter 2 is a classic.

[ripertaker1985]

esta cancion me inspira para pelear con todo usando ken

[TheLoz96]

I remember when I was little and I had no idea how to do Hadouken and Shoryuken.

[curlyheadbanger]

@TheLoz96 Same here. I asked my brothers how to do them and they never told me, so I just button mashed the whole time. :P

[wekiwisdofly]

adooogit, ooooooouuuuuugit

[doomster706]

This is the best song in ANY Street Fighter, and the Super Nintendo's version(this) SHORYUKENs all the other versions' asses!!!

[mrjohnny2gunzz]

haha hyukennn!!! uppercut...ahh streetfigther memeries ..takes me back

[Astrok3]

Awesome song, even if the intro is totally ripped off from Mighty Wings by Cheap Trick :)

[helhelhelhelo]

yep its snes alright

[TecmoCaptainTsubasa]

la versión de super nintendo fue la peor lejos, la de sega genesis la rompió..

[roxas67]

SHORYUKEN !

[KujarHvergelmir]

[Abelslash202]
