This theme is so fitting for Akuma. A traditional Japanese flute for a master of an ancient art passed through generations playing over a fast, intense, and powerful beat that indicates the strength and ferocity of the demon lying just under the surface.
A little late, but that jazzy ambient synth deserves some love for complementing the aforementioned themes with a combination of mystery as a result of his seclusion, repetition for Akuma’s dogged practice of his art, and ambiguity in that he’ll never know just when he’s become the strongest or who could possibly make fighting worthwhile for him after he’s number one. The entirety of this theme is just godlike.
Death_By_TV I wouldn't call this breakcore before I call it liquid drum and bass or jazzy jungle. Someone mentioned LTJ Bukem and I agree with that. Check out Loungecore from Hospital Records.
So My first SF is the SF 30th anniversary collection that I bought on switch a month ago. After I played and practiced with alfa 3 and 3rd strike I tried to do some of the arcades, one of them SF3rd strike which it was my second best SF in the collection in terms of skill. And then I got to Akuma with Ken oh my god, I got my ass kicked 6000 times but the music was epic and when I actually won was even more epic. SF3 gameplay,style, music and animation is something top notch, surpassed yes by modern games , but somehow not really in the fighting games genre, thats why I feel its considered one of the best
Vitor Vieira OMG YOURE THE GUY WHO DID THE TIMESTAMPS ON THE DJEXTREME VIDEO. I was literally, a minute ago, just listening Jonny L after you stamped it and was reminded of this wtf
Man, stylistically SF3 was my favourite by far. The look and sound is timeless IMO. Like someone said, this combined with the moon forest stage gives me goosebumps. So well done.
This song is perfect for Akuma... It is the wild call of battle that enslaves Akuma, forcing him to endlessly search for the perfect opponent. This theme is the perfect opposite all of the calm serenity that Ryu represents. Two warriors after the same goal, but taking different roads to get there. Epic 5/5
Ahead of it's time?... I can't compare it to the later SF games at all. Not to say the later one's are bad. But they never had this much style after III.
Excellent use of the Amen Break. This track suits the essence of Akuma/Gouki. Mysterious, methodical, violent, but calm. It also tells a story without any lyrics
Coming here right after SF6's Jukebox function was accidentally leaked on Twitter, and knowing exactly what Imma gonna be bumpin' on it (along with tons of other SF greats through the ages),
They both give very different but fititng vibes, SF2 theme is like an eldritch unstoppable monster that fills you with dread, this one is so much more energetic and overwhelming and gives a sense of panic and overwhelming strength.
First Round "you will fight against the demon" Second Round "the battle continues, the opponent is too strong. 3RrouD "someone gonna die..." Best SF soo far.
I think this theme fits Akuma so well because it perfectly encapsulates him. The flute being how he's an old school fight to the death fighter and just about everything else on the beat being how's he's evolved and just about better or ahead of everyone he fights. This instrumental almost makes you feel like you're constantly trying to catch Akuma moving increasingly faster around you in a fight.
I had to come here to clean my ears... Can't believe there were so many people calling the sf6 theme a masterpiece and trashing on Killing Moon if you said you liked it more lol, insane
Not much of a Street Fighter fan, but the amen break usage here is immaculate. This straight up IS Akuma's theme to be, even outside the context of Third Strike.
The possibility exists, but I don't count on that happening. The whole premise of SF6 is about "moving on", just like SF3 did, with brand-new themes for everyone. Chun Li already got a sick new tune, and I bet the same will happen with Akuma.
ya i wouldnt get ur hopes up bro. seeing as how much of a fail and deviation ryu viator was?? ya sure capcom will ruin akuma theme too. gonna love seein the fanboys defend it tho when its finally released n its nothin like what an akuma should be. like this masterpiece! everyone is gettin forced with jazzy dub step club beats. but ya chuns theme is ok. kinda has bits of china vox in there.
i loved getting to the final round on this stage. Music got so dramatic if its an akuma mirror match even better you know damn well both of them are trying to end the round with a raging demon
I can't wait to put this banger on the SF6 jukebox once they implement it Don't get me wrong I know that Shura was good but THIS IS STILL A FAR SUPERIOR AKUMA THEME EVER
Literally agree. I was hoping Shura would best Killing Moon, and while it certainly fits the current state of Akuma in its own right, it still has nothing on this theme.
Hey, this is a false copyright claim. You should dispute this. [Merlin] AudioSalad is falsely claiming ALL videos with Killing Moon theme, just so you're aware.
The classic instrument Shakuhachi well known through out japan for meditation and folk song . also it can be utilized in modern music by simply being of a longer or shorter length to change the main key. This instrument is very diverse and seen as one of the hardest instruments to master. Check it out if your into the soothing sounds it produces, i personally own a few and dabble in building them.
''Your body assumed it's proper form when my fists tore it apart!''
Best win quote EVER.
Exactly, Akuma always had the coldest win quotes!
😉❤
“A weak soul for a weak shell. It was an easy task to separate the two.”
"Like stealing candy from a baby!
... Not that I've ever done that!"
"You've fulfilled your purpose in life by allowing me to end it!"
This theme is so fitting for Akuma. A traditional Japanese flute for a master of an ancient art passed through generations playing over a fast, intense, and powerful beat that indicates the strength and ferocity of the demon lying just under the surface.
correct.
bobtheman1y I love your enthusiastic comment...no words better suit a silent introvert such as akuma..a master of the fist
This is the BEST description that ANYONE could have given on what the entirety of this track is. Godlike wording.
damyne77 That’s a bit over the top.
A little late, but that jazzy ambient synth deserves some love for complementing the aforementioned themes with a combination of mystery as a result of his seclusion, repetition for Akuma’s dogged practice of his art, and ambiguity in that he’ll never know just when he’s become the strongest or who could possibly make fighting worthwhile for him after he’s number one.
The entirety of this theme is just godlike.
NOTE: if you're gonna make a spongebob montage for nickelodeon all star brawl, you need to use this song.
100% AGREE! god I can't believe I'm still hyped for a damn nicktoons fighting game
Enchanting. Beautiful. Like a duel between 2 that will only ends in one's death. In other words, awesome!
Low key expected to hear that Akuma Stomp in the beginning
this version is much higher quality than the one on spotify lmao
It’s because this is arranged, the ones on Spotify are ripped straight from the arcades in 1999
I really with that sf6 had a similar ost instead of the shitty modern crap that they have going on
This song is partly why I picked Akuma as my only crossover fighter in Brawlhala
replacing akuma's sf6 theme with this shit frame 1
What's this type of music genre called?
Death_By_TV Breakcore

"Get the FUCK outta here and don't you ever eat my broccoli again"

This is the only song I wish I could play on 1080p
"Your body took its natural form

While I think SF2 akuma's theme is better. It's kinda unfair, because this is like comparing a really good apple to a really good orange
They both give very different but fititng vibes, SF2 theme is like an eldritch unstoppable monster that fills you with dread, this one is so much more energetic and overwhelming and gives a sense of panic and overwhelming strength.

BEST AKUMA THEME
Darkslayerx01 correct.
Darkslayerx01 "Murder Instinct" by Eternal Testament is definitely up there too.
^ I mean oficial themes not remixes
Darkslayerx01 Then yeah, I'd have to agree. "God Hands" from SFEX+@ is really good too.
Yes this theme is good too,but i prefer the drum n bass
Setting this as Akuma's character theme in SF6 like DAY ONE !

this one legit sounds like something bukem woulda put out on good looking back in the day
It's certified legit. Would've been alongside demons theme one and two.

Well you should be scared of Akuma, you just had good instincts

Prepare Yourself

"Messatsu: [EIMENU BUREIKU]!!"
Capcom: okay devs can you guys just make a simple theme for uhh the akuma stage?
Devs: *okay*
akuma is in both Street fighter 5 and Tekken 7. Just how amazing is that
Only unfortunate thing is that this theme didn't follow him
@Ahmad Adnan it's not like Ryu and Ken weren't already a part of street fighter but okay.
And even Monster Hunter fucking Rise
