The King of Fighters '96 - [Esaka] Hero Team Theme

[StevenNGFX]

Probably the most epic fighting music ever

[camandula400]

The best song of kof realy is the best

[redscuer]

Best KOF song ever!!!!

[kyokugenryu1979]

lo q es Esaka y ww3 del 99 estan BRUTALES!!!!!

[wellingtonsilvaf]

concordoooooooooooooooooooooow­ooooooooo.

[TheKcoton2005]

Essa música é fodaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .

[tokyobassist]

This AST version is the most badass of all Esaka remixes imo.

Definitely tied with Tears for my favorite theme.

[kuarapika]

i love this version!!!!



[DoomcrayerHirohito]

´94 ,95,96,97,98,99,,00, 02,02 UM the best KOF

[DiegoRC4]

@DoomcrayerHirohito add KOF XI and KOF XIII to that list ;)

[ricardomoraes92]

best kyo stage theme ever

[ASELTRANCE]

Remembering my childhood playing KOF 96 d^.^b

[TriggerHappah]

This is pretty much KoF's Guile theme.

[dogeatbear]

Man! KoF Themes used to be so bad ass! What happened!?

[Skillking22]

@dogeatbear

Same feeling here. The arranged soundtracks like this one over here somehow just don't sound as badass as the OST.

[TheLegendRome]

love the game and song but i have to disagree with descripton.esaka 98 ftw :-)

[KaynJudas]

Bow before the geniuses of fighting! Ore no kachi da!

[Arrowdance]

Escuchando a todo volumen!!!

[jeabl]

@Arrowdance  Igual pero no solo esta sino varias de las OSTs de KoF de los 90s!!

[SSFhdCLAN]

this my first time hearing this version today..i have heard all the others though..and this one kinda got a lil flavor too it..

[Diego5990]

six people got his ass burned.

[bsm075]

6 persons can't beat Kyo when they were playing KOF !!!!

[josephzz06]

los mejores soundtracks son del kof 96 sin duda alguna

[tapblock02]

Increible Esaka y KOF por Siempre!!!!!

[BrickCity4eva]

Kurei.....................YAGA­RE!

[edumachado1000]

Como eu gostava de jogar contra nesse jogo, eu era o melhor , que pena q ñ existiam jogos on line pra vc jogar com caras de todo o mundo e essa trilha sonora me dava mais vontade de vencer...

[SolidSnakeHz]

pq ta todo mundo falando inglês aqui? oO a maioria é brasileiro q ve isso

[irlanjuca]

amazing!

[sasaorei]

スバラシイ

[GodMasterRuler]

Kore ga! Kusanagi no ken da!

[metallophagos]

6 persons should mute their computer volume forever!!!!

[hoorams]

Mai Shiranui,Rock Howard, Clon Kusanagi Orochi Chris Orochi Yashiro y Terry Bogard y YO SOY SCORPION DE MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!

GET OVER HERE!-------GET BACK HERE !!! XD Atte Hanzo Fernando

[Menfrees]

Muy buen juego, yo lo jugue por allá de 1997-1998 cuando tenía 8-10 años, buenos tiempos eran aquellos !!!!

[LourivalForever]

Magnifico!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheTKCreborn]

I like this ESAKA theme but my favourite is and always will be the '94 one. So nostalgic

[KaysAnimus]

this isn't my favorite ever, but I'd say it definitely rocks the HARDEST out of all the KoF tunes

[TakeshiVideogamesinc]

one of my favorite kof games ever made 95 thank you so much.

[98kof98um2]

I didn't have a Sega Saturn or ps1 and I bought the game just because of the music. You can play the music part by a regular cd player, and I enjoyed the music a lot from kof96, love the the remix from 98.

[julio13wrathchild]

Every time I played in Kyo's stage, I always tried to make the match last as long as possible, so I could listen to the tune xD

[Dianarocks333]

i want to go back to 96 when i was just 1 year old.. aaawww

[Bilbao84]

Your dam right!!!!!!!:D

[Bmg391]

Best music to perform some asskicking.

[lastblade3]

seriously, SNK is the best fighting game company i've ever encountered. samurai shodown and kof kicks capcom's ass ultimately imo.

[MrPlayerAAA]

@lastblade3 I agree. In SNK fighting games you can actually fight, instead of spamming fireballs all the time.

[GothicaGirl155]

RAWR~ XD

OOh~ 96 version! 'W' Tumbs up if you were born 1996!

[Dianarocks333]

@GothicaGirl155 haha no but i was born in 95!! haha

[PaladinX500]

Why is Kyo setting the curtain on fire? Not cool man, not cool.

[rmpower2006]

epic - KOF has a soundtrack everybit the equal of Street Fighter! Love em both

[BlackfoxVX]

esaka kof 96 forever =)

[syazwan03]

Kyo destroy Iori haha

[cebolaodenpt]

@syazwan03

Never! In your dreams...Sorry. hahaha

[LOKBLUDOM3N]

@cebolaodenpt Oh yes he will.

[beyondsupreme]

that is Japanese student cloth

[yamiXhikari89]

this song was cool.

Kyo is my older brother XD!!!

[tiopaul]

Esaka is the name of the nearest train station from the SNK headquarters, located in Osaka, Japan.

In KoF '98, the Japan Stage is actually the street under Esaka Station.

[drsc]

@tiopaul Anyone know the condition of the Esaka Station since the earth quake?

[neokof12]

@drsc i was thinking the same but apparently the south of japan is ok, so we´ll see more kof´s games soon

[TheLegendRome]

@tiopaul wow.thats a godlike fun fact lol

[RockRaganzC]

@tiopaul Wow...brilliant i love Japan,but i didn`t even know that.

[efrainyashiro]

ES LA MUSICA CLASSICA DE IORI VS KYO

[shirokei1]

見せてやる！！

草薙の拳を！！

I'll show you! !

Kusanagi fists! !

[Vinyears80s]

It´s my favorite music form KOF series. Actually, it makes me remember old times =)

[DREEGOL]

VERY GOOD, BRAZIL,BRAZIL,BRAZIL

[PatoGago]

KYO VERSUS IOLI!!! LOUND... ONE... LEDY, GO!

[stokefan1989]

@PatoGago why have you replaced all your r's with l's?

[PatoGago]

@stokefan1989 At the japanese version of King of Fighters the Speaker of the game talk this way. Its know by "Engrish", cuz in Japan, the R have the sound of L

[Beldyne]

@PatoGago but shouldn't it be the opposite because theres NO L in their pronounciation not R so round one ready and go should be fine.. unless its names that starts with L

[BrickCity4eva]

@PatoGago don't forget the 96 intro English Translation

Kyo: You sure you want to do this?

Iori: What? Begging for your life?

[HEEROKENSHIN]

MOETARO!!!

[pawataku]

俺の・・・・勝ちだ！ WINNER IS KYO

[Ikeban]

The beginning sounds like a castlevania theme...

[FirestormChameleon]

@Ikeban You're probably thinking of "bloody tears"

[Ikeban]

@FirestormChameleon

You´re right, Sir! :-)

[RSixBoy]

esaka, the beginning of the epic kof themes

[langrissser]

Nice. Kyo rocks! Waken Leona even better.=)

[cebolaodenpt]

best kof is 96! best song ever!

[conradojavier]

Why do i always see the SNK Building in the Esaka Stage?

[GORO911]

@conradojavier

coz Esaka is a bus station next to the old SNK building

[4rk4id]

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*­

[leandrosantos100]

A mlehor música de jogos do mundo.

[ChrisTheChocobo]

One of the Best songs made by SNK

[adprokid]

KYO is KOF

[asadwildrex]

KYO is the best fighter.

[fahadssj5]

iori is the best.

[midwaynights]

great music

i think yashiro was the best

[jag9991]

ukero kuro boro

[syazwan03]

kyo is the hero kof i love him <3

[asadwildrex]

KYO IS THE ONLY FIGHTER WHO IS THE MASTER OF MASTERS

[BrickCity4eva]

This theme is the most famous of the KOF series..and the most remixed. It also marks the birth of his flame melee attack strings which I'm fond of.

[LOKBLUDOM3N]

Kyo is The King of Fighters(and the truest KOF)

[0xCalx0]

Best song EVER!

[karinhebik]

MOETARO <3 ME ENCANTA xd

[karinhebik]

NVPNEFQP

[LOKBLUDOM3N]

Kyo & kusanagi clan forever

[Yagami1211]

Hehe, Moetarou ?

[Deidaaraartisabang]

king of fighters 1996 was the best fighting game on my opinion

kicks ass music .. kicks ass stages .. kick ass charracters .. kyo + terry + iori FTW !!

[GORO911]

@Deidaaraartisabang

i agree it was great when it comes to music and stages which reflects on the whole atmosphere of the game , but gameplay wise it cant match 98 or 2002

[asadwildrex]

like this theme very much. best part is from 1:15 to 1: 37. good work

[gaditas008]

this the best music of kof

[d19582354]

This song brings back so many memories

[vick781231]

It heated my blood~

[OLV16]

epic from 3:17

[bjorn860]

Shingo Yabuki: KyoKusanagi-San

Kyo Kusanagi: Ikuze!

[Anomaly188]

Best version of Esaka aside from the "Iori Vs. Kyo" Esaka mix from KOF 97.

[GatlingPunchRalf]

To anyone who has MUGEN:

This is Orochi Kyo's theme as of now. Why, you may ask? Because it a much eviler-sounding version of the Esaka that we all know and love.

[CrimsonMoonM]

But we already have an "evil" Kyo, his name is Kusanagi.

[GatlingPunchRalf]

But he has a theme already. ESAKA? from '02 and '03, plus Antimony~ Mutually Exclusive Dichotomy (along with Kyo-1 and Kyo-2) in '02UM.

[vegeta353658]

@CrimsonMoonM Indeed.

[MrHorrorr]

yeah that's true this song is amazing

[Kyo2010]

The best KOF Music Ever!

[ooOmegaSupremeoo]

Wrong!

[fireflame26]

Legendary!

[SuperNightz217]

THis theme is the best, it greatly represents KOF.

[sonec66]

qe rola chingona ..me trae muchozz recuerdoz..es la pura verga..=D ..

[lito130483]

que tema!!..desde hace más de 10 años que no lo escuchaba...tantos recuerdos....

[SangreNueva08]

esaka siempre el mejor! ore no ka chida!!!

[miancues]

@SangreNueva08 Que cosa es chida?, es bueno o malo.

[SangreNueva08]

@miancues es la frase de Kyo Kusanagi, cuando dice "The victory is Mine" ^ ^

[Rugaliz]

ESAKA forever

[grindcross]

KOF forever

[KEN1560]

ASUREYOWOIDAH!!

[firzen644]

kyo kusanagi from the kusanagi-no-tsurugi XD

[BrickCity4eva]

This along side the '94 Esaka theme..the classic Japan Team themes.

[CRYS0]

IKUSOEEEEE !!!

[PaladinX500]

The only ones with BAD music are 2001 and 2003

[MauricioGMe]

it's kinda like the exorcist theme at the begining don't you think?

[soydelaceleste]

la mejor version ! .... siempre jugaba con clark, andy, ryo ..... tambien usaba a ralph XD

[baigos]

graficamente el kof mas cuidado, y con una jugabilidad unica donde los combos no eran todo...mas al estilo del street fighter 3

[verminslayer]

KOF 96 had the best music of all KOF games. But if anyone wants to tell other KOF games with great music, I'm listening.

[rtlgamer]

King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match.

[kkdecara]

no., actually 97 had the best soundtrack

[XxRelmxX]

yes but loose 50% of main themes. :p

[kkdecara]

jeh heh, moetaro

[Venra]

Well, how about KoF 2000? Or KoF 2002 Unlimited Match. They got pretty awesome music.

[ItzYourDad]

KOF XII had some pretty impressive tunes

[milesthefox90]

imo '99, but '96 is pretty damn nice too

[kkdecara]

kof 97

96 isn't that great, or 98 ultimate match

[cybertron14]

i definitely agree with that..

[Coconutscase]

@verminslayer KoF XIII =)

[RSixBoy]

Ah... the esaka that started it All... Epic

[Visceral18]

Esaka 4evahh!!!

[betoneto666]

awevo lo mejor del mundo

[KEN1560]

This is like the master soundtrack of the king of fighters.. when i listen to this it just lits up the fire in my guts.. and the by the second i listen to it more.. it grows even stronger.

[KEN1560]

This is amazing.

[urdhu]

Everytime I hear this song it reminds me the hardship battle that I got through to defeat that damn Goenitz! Damn ASS !

By The Way , This song ROCKX !!!! \m/

[iovanniUchiha]
