Darkyellow327 my favorite char select theme is Mince from the first Guilty Gear game lol and I think it's a strong competitor for the "best char select" theme. This one's pretty dope though
Sendy Lie Dont forget the Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike - Fight For The Future [Online Edition]'s Character Select theme. The lyrics are so true and the BASS GUITAR.
Mr. Peter Stevens I'm bad at it too but slowly getting better as I win more online matches and I enjoy every match that I get into, doesn't matter if I take an L or a W.
@@Ryuujin1078 the PS2,Gamecube,OG Xbox, and Dreamcast (6th gen console gaming) was god tier and still is to this day. There will never be a dope ass generation like this ever again sadly.
This part of the lyrics is so Meta: One box Could leave you messed up and fractured Block these uppercuts, they made me the captured May the best fighter win and win again Battle to the top until his life ends But if his life ends and he starts to decay May one of us street soldiers finish things See ya talkin to the game couldn't be talkin to me I got enough to beat and more soldiers to bury You know, we just clicked in and made you realize This game is twice as hard You see that with your own eyes You're on the way to choose your type of life cause ya gotta I tell you from now, which fighter will be the hotter I don't think you've won this one, just practice Just challenge me when your ready, weight your tactics High punches, spin-kicks, watch the back-split I see you in the air when I make you back-flip
I almost cry when the chorus hits from the flood of nostalgia lol. My first fighting game ever, remember going to my cousin's and playing, hearing that Dreamcast boot up and loudly read the disc. A time when nothing got in the way of playing games and just having unbridled fun. Ugh I miss those days sometimes. Thanks for the memories.
I actually think streetfighter 1 and 2 are harder, I mean you can beat Gill after some rounds but beating secret boss Akuma is on another whole universe, I also think thats because of the controls
"Welcome to the world of Street Fighter 3. Prepare for battle." *Chooses Akuma* Woah, I've got the picture. *Chooses Super Art* Yeah! I've been waiting for this! *Chooses Stage* Yeah, that makes sense!
I remember playing this game with my father growing up. He used play to Street Fighter back in the day. I remember getting demolished but still enjoying playing against him. Thank you for bringing up some great memories.
I really think this chapter is the best Street Fighter ever. It has a lot of... personality. Aesthetics, sound and gameplay fused together to make a masterpiece. Love it.
(Let's get it on now) Select and make your first pick (Let's get it on Yo) 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 (Let's get it on Yo) Choose and pick the best one (Let's get it on now) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 That part is pure éxtasis..
Yea, i love the mortal kombat series but MKX is really lacking in the music department, image if they put something like this in game. It would be great.
Well that's kinda the point, I mean it is MK, but MKX soundtrack did suck, I was surprised because MK9 actually had a great soundtrack, the main menu music was epic.
MK Deceptions soundtrack was the best Netherrealms studios has ever produced. Certain stages actually got you hyped up for a fight. Meanwhile in mk9 and 10 its boring as mood setting type shit. Its honestly a factor in why I got so bored of that game quickly.
Man, if you were in New York's Chinatown Fair back in the late 90's, early 2000s, on a Friday/ Saturday night being surrounded by players waiting their turn and you heard the announcer saying "Welcome to the world of Street Fighter 3. Prepare for battle!" It's a feeling you can't begin to describe. Good times.
I remember playing this on Dreamcast. I remember my friend Dave got it for Christmas when it first came out. He let me borrow it and as a Hip-hop head I thought it was so cool they used hip-hop for this game.
This song: You go to your freinds house and teaches you how to play SF for the first time. You feel like your in for a challenge as your freind is pretty good at third strike but also at ease since its your friend and your just learning. Online edition's theme: This is finals of evo 2017. Its been years of practice since you first traded a controller for a fight stick at your freinds house. Your a seasoned, well disciplined player now. But this isn't your friend, this is the 5 time defending evo title holder.
SF3 was the last in a great line. Cinematic animations crafted by hand, a radio worthy soundtrack, talented voice actors that fit the continuation/ growth of the respected characters that made sense, wonderful artwork and controls old school and new could pick right up and play. It was all to good to last.
damn street fighter 3 was so under appreciated personally i had no idea there was a street fighter 3 game until i was 17 years old i thought it was a new game. this is the best character select theme song in the history of fighting games bar none
Best fighting game ever. The music, the art, the intensity of the fighting itself, it’s the one true fighting game in my eyes. Every character was OP in their own way. akuma and urien are the best characters tbh
3S OST has been my gym beats for years, and will be for years to come. This is the track that plays when I'm changing in the locker room, nothing gets me more ready to get it on now.
"one false move kid/that be disaster/I'll beat you endless/and continue the day after" that line was iiiiiiiicccccceeeee cold!!!! i used to just play this game for the music!!! this soundtrack was EPIC i cant wait for the re-release for 360 or PS3
***** A. I honestly believe that they have never played any fighting games with hip hop/rap in it period. B. It does sound out of place for many people I believe, but it is not coming across as out of place for me. In fact, the song made the trailer even more hype for me (especially once I read the lyrics to the song).
BlueSunStudios1 Many fighting games use rock for their OSTs and pull it off well. Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, what little bit that SSB has, Killer Instinct. Rock has proven to be quite common in fighting games. Rap is rarely good in fighting games. The only good examples, are in Killer Instinct (TJ Combo's theme), Street Fighter 3, and Def Jam Fight for New York. Other than that, rap never suits a fighting game. Rap just isn't fighting music.
I suck at Street Fighter 3, but got I love it. All the characters are so unique, the music is sick, the sprites and art design is beautiful, and the game is enjoyable. SF3 deserves more love.

There will never be a better character select theme.
I feel you on that one.
truth
Well I think there are some that are just as good, none of them have as much style than this one.
Darkyellow327 my favorite char select theme is Mince from the first Guilty Gear game lol and I think it's a strong competitor for the "best char select" theme.
This one's pretty dope though
I feel you on that. Killer Instinct 1 on Arcade is a close contender
This is the competitive scene of fighting games summed up in a song.

Hikaru Shindo yep me too I'm getting better with yang and remy
I ain't the best, either, but i love me some Third Strike. I've been trying to practice with Alex
Yeah. I suck at every Street Fighter game, no matter the character, but I love the series.
NYC, Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto, Seoul, Tokyo, you name it. This Third Strike bgm brings out the fight and hype in anyone who plays this game.
I love how this track was so Dreamcast'ish (Jet Set Radio Vibes). It was such a great era, good times.
BrandNewSongz I agree something really special about that era, that to me kinda ended with the Dreamcast.
It was an era when hip hop blended well with gaming and anime, now it’s long gone...
Yeah.😎
Irony is... This and "Humming the Bassline" fits well.

This part of the lyrics is so Meta:
One box Could leave you messed up and fractured
Block these uppercuts, they made me the captured
May the best fighter win and win again
Battle to the top until his life ends
But if his life ends and he starts to decay
May one of us street soldiers finish things
See ya talkin to the game couldn't be talkin to me
I got enough to beat and more soldiers to bury
You know, we just clicked in and made you realize
This game is twice as hard
You see that with your own eyes
You're on the way to choose your type of life cause ya gotta
I tell you from now, which fighter will be the hotter
I don't think you've won this one, just practice
Just challenge me when your ready, weight your tactics
High punches, spin-kicks, watch the back-split
I see you in the air when I make you back-flip
The hardest verse.

So true
Back when games had fucking soul smh
@@Yerrrr7899 amen
FNF had to take this beauty of a character theme and I ain't even blaming them💀💀
I love the old school Street Fighter.
This would have been awesome to play at the arcade in the late 90s...
"This game is twice as hard
You see that with your own eyes"
FACTS! (But really, parries made the skill ceiling ridiculous and I love it)
Parries also gave birth to one of the greatest moments in the FGC
This song and Elena's theme will forever be in my head... Also sax
+Giuseppe Cervone You know it. The soundtrack is one of the reasons I absolutely love this game. Always requires a subwoofer.
Haha "beats in my head" lol
Same lol

Jesús MD
I never played 1 and 2, but Jesus Christ was this game hard to play, and Gil's resurrection made it so hard to beat him.
If you ever played against any SNK boss, these bosses don't seem as hard, not even Seth
SuperMech64 agreed

Hell yah bruh
The best street fighter ever.
Without question

@@TranceCore3 Based off the Rehashed tunes it’s ok.
All these years later, I still get a strong dopamine hit when the first chorus drops. It feels so right.

I just got the SF 25th Anniversary Collection and I do no regret it one bit.

lolololol
Eminem doing the new version of this huh 😖

CHOOSE AND PICK THE BEST ONE
FIVE FOUR THREE TWO ONE
I recently bought the SF 30th anniversary collection and I have no regrets. 3rd Strike is still the best SF imo, but 6 gets really close to it

so who plays this song? I mean the artist or band.
one of the dopest hook arrangements EVER !

True hip-hop right here even after so many years...
This , skullgirls, and mvc2 are my favorite character select themes. Runner-up goes to sfa2.
I went to a tournament recently for third strike and let me tell you, this music hit's mad different when your about to fight. Brilliant design.
Back when street fighter was really about the streets
damn street fighter 3 was so under appreciated personally i had no idea there was a street fighter 3 game until i was 17 years old i thought it was a new game. this is the best character select theme song in the history of fighting games bar none
I'm really bad at the game, but still play cause hgave the best vibe in any game!
Thank god there is no cover for this. Stays original. Stays a classic.
99 the year ! Sf3, Dreamcast Soulcalibur 😎
had the demo on ps3, this song is hard coded into my brain.
This is real rap. Fuck the new generation 🤷🏽♂️🤌🏾🙃
i agree & disagree my brother
The levels of concentrated hood in this is off the charts
Best fucking fighting game song in existence. The artist made it in 48 hours along with other songs for the original release. A god amongst humans.
One word :nostalgia 😌😌
