That's one of those things I truly miss, is going to the arcade Kids will NEVER understand what it was like when SF2 came out, and there were lineups to play it
Oh yeah, the feeling was better when you didn't get beat versus like 10 different people and then all of a sudden your mom appears in the arcade place yelling at your because you haven't brought home the TORTILLAS!!!. Ohhh so much fond memories.
I used to catch the first bus home from school, get off half way near the arcade, watch others play Street Fighter for about an hour, then jump on the last school bus the rest of the way home. Always loved this theme music and the complicated personality of Vega.
Not just that dude. The video game music from the early to mid 90s is so special. There's obviously been incredible music since then but the fact that the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack is as good as it is with the limtations of those systems...for example...is amazing to me.
Nope, this music is thrilling, it has lots of tension, gives a feeling of danger and an urge to save your for life in a fight against an assassin with a claw. This reminded me of the battle between Ken and Claws (Vega/Balrog) in Street Fighter 2 Victory anime
Vega’s music was completely inspired by Flamenco guitar music, of course created using chipset sfx and you have finally returned it back to its original influential form... full circle
That sound was so 🌈🌈🌈🌈🫣😤. It required immediate shoryukens, regardless of what move he did. Especially if he jumped on the fence 🤨😒. Did my head in. It's only a game though, right. 😂😳
People always go on about Guile's Theme, and to a lesser extent Ryu and Ken's themes, but Vega's is the one that always stood out to me, and I think it's massively underrated. Thank you for doing it some justice!
@@T--xk3hf Indeed. One of the best soundtracks of all time and all still sound fantastic to this day. In fact the whole game holds up extremely well especially for it's age. I love modern games sure, and play SF6 a lot but I'm always happy to go old school with whatever particular version of Street Fighter II I happen to crave that day. :D
Absolutely killer, Adam! I hesitate to use the word flamenco lest I upset half of RUclips, but your FLAMENCO TECHNIQUE is OUTSTANDING! Loving the new studio space too!
Excellent Work, Vega 's theme is awesome!!! Your Channel is great and I will suscribe right now. 👍 Please play an instrumental versión of t.A.T.u - Malchik Gay.
I started listening. paused it, got the ladder from the garden, and then went up into to my loft. I came back 5 minutes later with my venecian mask, some old Wolverine cosplay claws, a fake rose to grip between my teeth, and an early Akiman picture of Chun Li. I stared the video again from the beginning. Perfect!
From a musician to another, your skills make me wish I had the will to study and practice more. Really beautiful performance, perfectly baked in nostalgia. Congratulations, mate
When I played SF2 I always thought Vega's theme was electronically emulating Flamenco music. It's great to hear it beautifully played on an actual guitar... Superb!
I loved this soundtrack but I have never heard it so masterfully well executed!!! You would make Paco De Lucía drop a tear of happiness!!! I toast with a cup of Rioja to you fine sir!
I have no words guy... you just did a masterpiece with so much respect for the original game soundtrack, bringing me shivers on the first listening Congratulations !!
As soon as SF 2 CE came out in arcades, Vega became my main. Fortunately my local 7-11 had it so i got lots of practice. I was 13 years old with crowds of people watching me at the arcade. Hearing this took me back to that time which is the best compliment i've got. Great job!
It's amazing how well so many of these pieces of vintage video game music translate to solo nylon string guitar. Of course Adam's arrangement and performance is phenomenal.
You made this sound amazing, so good to the ears and it brings back 90's memories. I've listened to this 30 times already. Thanks for your sharing your talent with us and BRAVO!!!
This and the SF2 montage where they use an orchestra to do main theme, character selection, Ryu Stage, Vega stage and Guile stage. With the game on a big projection behind the orchestra 🤌🏿🤌🏿 I listen to that every day now.
This only goes to show the genius of game composer Yoko Shimomura. She wrote a piece that was representative of the characters country and in a style that could be replicated on the real world instruments it would traditionally be played on.
got so hype hearing this i accidentally climbed my living room wall

Crazy how Vega has always been a villain in the street fighter series but yet this beautiful music makes him sound like an Iconic Hero
❤❤
Beautiful music for a beautiful man 💯😎

@@rickyjayster2586
No
You make your guitar sounds like they are 3 guitarists playing together. I’m in awe. Thank you deeply
If you dig this, check Rodrigo y Gabriela. You won’t be disappointed
“Beautiful, like me!” - Vega
He would say something like that.

Funny how it never said that if you lost without landing a blow, it's as if they knew we'd smash our controllers to pieces🤣
If no one said this came from a video game, most would think it's some classic masterpiece
Yep, those were the Japanese video game composers of the era. High caliber.❤
I feel like we got better game music from limited sound chips and talented composers than we do now with some real instruments used for game music
@@hammond8692 100% -- Limitation breeds creativity.
It sounds modern
But it is tho..😊
I played SF2 for cash tournaments in the 90s. I wept w joy listening to your acoustics version. My soul is now complete
Are you me? Every word you wrote is exactly my story and feelings. I couldn't lose with Guile
I can almost hear Vega flying through the air like "yaaaa* and suplexing me perfectly. Well done sir
Playing both the lead AND the back strums at the same times?
YES
Yeah, how??? 😮😮😮
@@1Flyingfist flamenco it is called
@@_R4nd0m. Is it hard to learn? I don't like normal guitar music. 😐
@@1Flyingfist Bluegrass also, this is beautiful! I've always wondered what this would sound like on a real guitar. I can play, but not fingerstyle.

This comment 😂 I heard it as soon as I read this comment. 🤣
@1Flyingfist that's cause you have a fragile masculinity issue
omg same!
Holy shitttt. This was unreal. The hair on my neck stood up and got chills.
The fact that you can simultaneously play both the rhythm and lead guitar parts!!! Super impressive
People always go on about Guile's Theme, and to a lesser extent Ryu and Ken's themes, but Vega's is the one that always stood out to me, and I think it's massively underrated. Thank you for doing it some justice!
Are you serious? They're all dynamite 🧨
@@T--xk3hf Oh don't get me wrong, it's all great music, but I honestly think Vega's Theme is the best one, and people sleep on it way too much.

You are forgetting Cammy's.
Christ, doing that rhythm while having melody on top is extremely hard, awesome job
Came to the comments for this
That’s a big part of what makes flamenco style guitar play so incredible.
Only real musicians know how truly difficult this is and with flawless execution. My Goodness!
Amazing execution!
Yoko Shimomura is a great composer.
A great STEALER
This is a RIP OFF of a traditional spanish song called ESPAÑA CAÑI
Yoko SHITmura STEALS MUSIC
As a man who spent hours during his teenage playing SF II, and a Spanish citizen in love with flamenco guitar, this is absolutely mesmerizing 🙏🏼❤️
The National Anthem of my beloved Spain-Vega is the greatest Spanish Ninja ever.
I never thought it was possible to make a really good arrangement for only one guitar of this piece. It's absolutely fantastic!
Thank you for a gorgeous time!
Came here to say this 😂
Ha, you beat me to it
EDIT: you both did
I've seen a duet do a great cover but never thought it'd be possible for a single guitarist to pull this off!
Well done!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I had no idea that this was even possible. 😮
Search "Naudo" . He is THE MAN
GOOSEBUMPS !!!! brought me back to my childhood 😭😭😭😭👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
this aint no man, no mortal man can go from one chord position to another and sound so clean
That's really the hard part to playing fast is changing chords quickly.
Absolutely killer, Adam! I hesitate to use the word flamenco lest I upset half of RUclips, but your FLAMENCO TECHNIQUE is OUTSTANDING! Loving the new studio space too!
Thanks man! I have actually been trying to learn more flamenco techniques. And the space is really awesome. So much room
Excellent Work, Vega 's theme is awesome!!! Your Channel is great and I will suscribe right now. 👍
Please play an instrumental versión of t.A.T.u - Malchik Gay.
Any way you can post the chord?😅
Brings me backs 30 years ago !!!
I sing the lyrics to this, amazing
Amazing how Street Fighter themes still holds up to this day decades later
Great music lives on forever
Because this theme is a RIP OFF of a real spanish song called España Cañi
@@juandavidamadomartin8015 I wouldn't call it a rip off of another song, inspired by, but not actually lifted from it.

“Not everyone can arrange as beautifully as TV do." -Mostly Vega
Brother, you are a force to be reckoned with on that guitar. Outrageous skill..
That Vega scream as he climbed the fence and jumped on me pissed me off so much in 2 turbo.
I Need a 1 hour version! This is amazing! 🔥
I love how you play the lows after 0:30
Nicely done, props for playing rhythm and melody at the same time 👍
Can I please get a 3 minute version of this. Magnificent
Dude the finger swaps at 0:49 are cleannnn! This is an awesome arrangement and performance, congratulations!!
From a musician to another, your skills make me wish I had the will to study and practice more. Really beautiful performance, perfectly baked in nostalgia. Congratulations, mate
street fighter 2 was basically a complete game even thought the computer cheated. the music is tops
YES. Perfect game, but when you played it in the most difficult level, computer cheated
this one youtube account called DESK has a video that shows off how the C.P.U. in street fighter 2 cheated and its pretty heartbreaking
@@AuntBibby for sure
Yeah, really frustrating!!
But what music!!
Every new flamenco version of Vega's stage I see gets better and better. Bravo! 👏 👏 👏
When I played SF2 I always thought Vega's theme was electronically emulating Flamenco music. It's great to hear it beautifully played on an actual guitar... Superb!
I used to love going to the Vega stage for the theme music. Very nice. Beautiful
If I never knew this was Vega’s theme, I still would’ve thoroughly enjoyed the mastery of this and do. Well done sir.
Red hot blooded villain. Brings me back so many great memories of the 90's. Thanks for posting. You win! Perfect!
"Thank you for a _gorgeous_ time!"
from Street Fighter the later years? hahaah Love that one
@@eleet321it's in the original games too 😅
That was very good. Never gave Vega's soundtrack much credit, until now.
Balrog has the best vocal 🎤 too, aaaah, odore wo flamenco 💃!!!!
ABSOLUTELY CRAZY BRO
i loved this theme from streetfighter this is an amazing guitar performance.
i play flamenco myself and this is incredible!
Amazing playing.
Dude those 2 chords at 0:33 are absolutely beautiful
I loved this soundtrack but I have never heard it so masterfully well executed!!!
You would make Paco De Lucía drop a tear of happiness!!!
I toast with a cup of Rioja to you fine sir!
Oleeeee!
This gives a whole new respect and honor to the character of Vega that I think the games cannot truly capture.
Woooiw 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have no words guy... you just did a masterpiece with so much respect for the original game soundtrack, bringing me shivers on the first listening
Congratulations !!
That mobile shot at 0:40 is CRAZY 🔥
WOW ! ! What an Amazing rendition of a Classic Arcade Song 🎵 🎉 You must keep making these 🙌
You keep outdoing yourself Adam! Excellent!!
Thanks Dee! Hope you’re doing well man!
There are tons of classical/flamenco guitar cover videos out there, but your arrangements and skills are outstanding! Keep up the amazing work.

Same here, ruled the arcade with him. Still go back for some Fightcade now and then.
This is incredible, never fail to impress man
Thanks man!
This tune had me climbing a chain link fence.
They really need to play this in the grocery store, I would shop for vegetables so hardcore.
The celery my brother 🎉
Over 9000 karrots 🥕
Damn man, this take gave me chills, bravissimo!
Wow! You are amazing sir. I've never heard an acoustic played like that. It's like you can do the rhythm and the lead at the same time. Impressive.
すごい・・・最高だ・・・！
ギター一本でこの表現力・・・！俺が聞きたかったバルログのテーマの理想がここにある・・・！！！
The one plays guitar knows how this is an incredible guitarist
1:05 Vega Bug 🇪🇸
What u talking about?
Hearing this song fire up with the cage crashing down set the tone far better than any other stage in the game.
Fabulous! Thx. I would love to hear someone make a guitar arrangement of “Silmarian Meandering” from the Quest for Glory V soundtrack.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 ode to him, great 👍 👌 👏 🙌 and 👏 bravo 👏 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻.
The official song of Spain.
Koko ni hiza masuke!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ best vocal theme ever!!!!

Hell yeah
Balrog is one of my favorites. And yes, I'm calling him by his original name in Japanese, which is Balrog.
Yes. Rightfully so.
And Bison is the boxer guy.
M.Bison - MIKE BISON!

Wonderful! That felt/sounded so good!
I started learning the guitar 2 months ago and I'm making this video my inspiration to keep going. thank
- cheers, someone
Thumbnail randomly popped up in my feed, "was it now?" I said aloud. I then watched/listened and couldn't do anything but agree and applaud.

Fantastic piece. Glad they made it two hour long.
(Absolutely phenomenal playing)
that was aaaaaaaawsome!!!
Thanks!
WHOA! This is epic!
Holy smokes, such a great rendition.
This is absolutely brilliant. You rocked that thing!
Absolutely beautiful! And iconic 🎶
Thank you for showing the finger positions so clearly. Now I can try to learn this on my guitar
Amazing! You've got a new sub here! Thank you👍🏾
