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
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.
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
The composer of SFII music, she deep dived into the character and their background and motives and styles in seeking inspiration for each track. This is why Guile's theme is so fucking epic!
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!
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.
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.
Street fighter 2 turbo soundtrack is a genuine masterpiece. Every single track really encapsulates the culture of the character it represents. Fantastic job on the ones you’ve done. Dhalsim was always one of my favourites. Would love to see your take on that.
@@1Flyingfist Chung li will always be my number one but Dhalsim does come in a close second. The chord change timings and intervals make it for one of the more interesting pieces of the sound track.
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!
Everything about Vega represents beauty. His country and its language, his stage, his fighting style, himself, and especially his music. These devs went well out of their way to bring the diverse cultures that the fighters come from into the game. SF2 is a legend. Vega and Ken's themes will always be my favorites. Interestingly enough, I also happen to be an American with strong Spanish lineages. The flamenco guitar and dance that inspired Vega's theme hits me hard. This normally takes two guitars, and the fact that this musician was able to play both parts is amazing 👏
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!
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!
for those who asks : he's essentially playing two guitar lines in one. Typically someone plays the bass and another one the lead. He managed to play both at the same time. Insane
Ok. But It’s still music. Whether they ripped it from a musician was not the point of my comment. It was just commentary on how influential the music was to me IMO.
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 !!
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.
Who's that guy from Polyphia called...? Nevermind. THIS person up there is the real deal. Holy cow. This is SKILL on guitar. I applaud you. And for taking Street Fighter themes to classical guitar? You're a legend, sir. Kudos!
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.
This has always been one of my favorite SF2 songs… there is this old song that my mom listened to around the same time that SF2 was fairly new at the arcade… it reminded me of Vega’s stage. Anyway the song is called ‘ Rumba ‘ by Azucar Moreno

I don't particularly have any favourite themes, but I actually like them all, whoever composed, written the Music for the each theme, will be remembered forever.

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

I can hear Vega screaming: ayyyyyyy!
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.

woo vega
This comment 😂 I heard it as soon as I read this comment. 🤣
@1Flyingfist that's cause you have a fragile masculinity issue
omg same!
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.
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..😊
The fact that you can simultaneously play both the rhythm and lead guitar parts!!! Super impressive
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.
@@1Flyingfist Flamenco is pretty easy, actually. It just takes ten things to learn. It just takes one year to learn each thing properly.

GOOSEBUMPS !!!! brought me back to my childhood 😭😭😭😭👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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!
That Vega scream as he climbed the fence and jumped on me pissed me off so much in 2 turbo.
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
Brings me backs 30 years ago !!!
I sing the lyrics to this, amazing
Every new flamenco version of Vega's stage I see gets better and better. Bravo! 👏 👏 👏
I never thought it was possible to make a really good arrangement for only one guitar of this piece. It's absolutely fantastic!
The composer of SFII music, she deep dived into the character and their background and motives and styles in seeking inspiration for each track. This is why Guile's theme is so fucking epic!
"Thank you for a _gorgeous_ time!"
from Street Fighter the later years? hahaah Love that one
@@eleet321it's in the original games too 😅
Whoa I never realized how much that opening sounds like Heart’s “Crazy On You”!! 👏🤯
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!!
Nicely done, props for playing rhythm and melody at the same time 👍

Red hot blooded villain. Brings me back so many great memories of the 90's. Thanks for posting. You win! Perfect!

If I never knew this was Vega’s theme, I still would’ve thoroughly enjoyed the mastery of this and do. Well done sir.
This is incredible, never fail to impress man

Hearing this song fire up with the cage crashing down set the tone far better than any other stage in the game.
Can I please get a 3 minute version of this. Magnificent
Street fighter 2 turbo soundtrack is a genuine masterpiece. Every single track really encapsulates the culture of the character it represents. Fantastic job on the ones you’ve done. Dhalsim was always one of my favourites. Would love to see your take on that.
