Before you start listening to this theme, think of the greatest memories you cherish, think of people you love, think of everything. Let it all flood into your mind and let it create a mental slideshow. Then, set this theme to that slideshow. Let the tears flow. I intend to play this at my graduation this May. It fits perfectly, and if there's ever a theme that could move me so emotionally at that time, it would be this one.
@@TheOldfriend87 Thanks, friend. :) It's been nearly a decade as you say, but it is and will remain a cherished memory. And I'm doing my best out here. Hopefully you are, too! \o/
The theme really radiates "Congrats! You beat the system!" When I did the no lose,I've had hell with guile,blanka and zangief,had to restart many times. So this music is so satisfying and rewarding considering the bullshit I went through for this.
I remember when i was in my mid teens and waiting up in the summer, as a routine i would finish SF2 with Ken and hear this song before breakfast. hearing this song back then gave me hope and motivation about life and what it will bring for me. Hearing it again close to 20 years later still gives me the same feeling of life! What good memories!
Where it all started and ends. SF2 will always be the pinnacle of SF. The journey and excitement of this game. Will always be number 1. If you're a real one hearing this music and know the fights to get to hear this? It meant you're the best in the arcade. The best.
I honestly can’t tell if you’re being ironic here... Just in case you’re not: most of this song is essentially a faster-paced remix of the popular “graduation song” (which is based on Pachelbel’s Canon...although “flat-out lifted from” is probably a more accurate description). It’s far from the only example (look up “Pachelbel rant”, if that video’s still up), but I just thought I’d point it out since you mentioned playing this after graduation. ;-)
@@tdark987 l was being serious. Street Fighter 2 was still a big thing in the late 90s. While most of my friends sort of eschewed the alpha and Vs series, Street Fighter 2 was still a huge thing in my home town. After graduation we all got together and had our last hurrah at the arcade and when I beat Bison without losing a match it played the special theme and party our ass off.
Roger Nebot lots of games back than done this. Did listen to the Resident Evil 1 ending credits music ? not similar but the genre its pretty music the same.
This is the song that plays as you enter heaven with lots of great memories, lots of accomplishments, family members that love you, kids that are all grown up, and no debts.
Presented by segapconintendo considering all three of those game companies had there own ports segas port is genesis Nintendo's port is snes and capcoms port is the arcade
How was I not aware of the existence of this song!? Never heard it in my life... but...THE FEELS! Defiantly up there as one of the best ending themes with Chrono Trigger, Thunder Force IV, Super Mario and Mario Kart 64 and a few others. I'm tempted set the SNES up again and stay up a whole night fighting just to hear and see this ending. Just wow.
Serious? man if you're a player from the 90s then it's kind of a shame that you never heard or seen this ending. It was always one of my favorites from the soundtrack. I'm not sure if this song was on SNES but it was in the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version and i used to listen to all the tracks in the options menu.
This song was also in SNES - but it was neccessary to complete the game on level5 or level6 (not sure anymore) You'll also get another special ending if you complete the game on hardest level without losing any round ;-)
People often point out how Ken’s theme is very similar to Mighty Wings, but for some reason I never see anyone mentioning how this is basically a remix of Pachelbel’s Canon in D.
There's something about the staff roll to _Street Fighter II_ that makes me reminisce on past accomplishments. Whenever I feel like I could be doing more than what I'm already doing, this song helps me realize everything I've achieved in life already. Don't sell yourselves short, everyone; you're amazing!
It's the chord progression, it has a very sentimental-pop vibe to it along with the cheerful melody over-top. It's the Pachelbel's Canon chord progression with some bridges thrown in.
THIS version of the song ( CPS1 ) is still my favorite by far. The CPS2 version didn't do it for me for whatever reason. /shrug This brings back so many memories of my childhood.
Mind. Blown. My favourite video game track and my favourite classical piece, and I never freaking noticed IT'S THE SAME PIECE OF MUSIC. Don't I feel stupid....
I was frustrated as a kid trying to beat Bison (freaking cheap ass Psycho Crushers) but when I defeated him, saw Ryu's ending, and heard the Ending Theme, I was filled with nothing but joy. ^_^
the first time i played this game at the hardest difficulty Bison killed me 15 times, then i won and listened this song. All i couls say was ' it was worth it. tumbs up if you agree
sitting here at work. some 3 decades later, and i was singing this song. not even joking. had to come here at listen to it :) shows you how catchy it was.
This Street Fighter 2 Credits theme is dedicated to Karel, John Eric, Emmanuel, CJay, JP, Christian, Mark Joshua, Marco, Ruzzel, Andre, Kerby, Mark Vincent, Vincent, Matt, Zhen, Arjie, Steven, Gianna, Kimberly, Jess, Cherry-an, Kyla, Regine, Janice, Angel and Juliana
Even though its poor etiquette to ask for a thumbs up, I'm gonna give you one anyway, because you're absolutely right: it IS worth it to hear this beautiful song. ^_^ Rock on, man.
of course! more the merrier! we should start an organization of like-minded video gamers who want to express their gratitude to the Street Fighter team! Facebook group anyone?
Excelent sound quality, this is the best version (the arcade version) of the greatest fighting ending of all time, a looooonng way!! BTW, what emulator do you used to rip the song? Thanks in advance!! :)
Great feel-good tune presented as a completion reward. Bet the composer never realized it would be a tune that would become nostalgic and that so many people would associate it with youth and carefree days when whipping Sagat or M.Bisons ass was the only priority and things were pretty cool in general.
I remember when I was a little boy I had this dog name Socks, when Socks passed away I would think about this song in my head before bed time and i would remember all the memories i had with Socks. My pillow would be soaking wet from all the tears. Fast forward 26 years later and this tune brings back those beautiful memories I had with Socks ❤

@@CodyRockLee13 ur still alive ???????????
@@TravisTheMaximus Thankfully, yes.
Hey man, I'm cheering you on
One of the best ending themes in video game history IMO.
I agree
@@danivalencia11 This is No1 I ve head
Definitely
@@KaptainKlips Yup!
Couldn’t agree more! Gives me that nostalgia feeling over and over
The theme really radiates
"Congrats! You beat the system!"

close to 30 years later now? :3
Finish the whole game before breakfast? Holy cow.
This theme made me cry, I love it, it brings to my memory so much wonderful memories that I will keep until the last day of my life.
I really hope that the last day of your life hasn't come :")
My cat died today, so I played this song. I think it really embodies the feelings of having a good time, which it helped me remember.
Where it all started and ends. SF2 will always be the pinnacle of SF. The journey and excitement of this game. Will always be number 1.
If you're a real one hearing this music and know the fights to get to hear this? It meant you're the best in the arcade. The best.
I can play this over and over again! Timeless classic for Street Fighter.
Me too
If this tune is played loud everyday somewhere in the world at least once then ultimately the world will be a better place.
I played this song after I graduated. :)
That must have been epic
Fuckin legend 😂
I played it after I fucked Ken's wife.

Quite an epic song. Great memories. The 90`s were had so much good stuff. Unforgetable.
This takes me back to my childhood :') Why can't they make games as epic as this anymore?
They do you just gotta dig check out super meat boy
Just the 90's can do that
Because back then life was simple and was easier to satisfy.
@@SH_DIS_LN No they don't
@@h.m.5724 but they do atleast in quality of titles like the new doom or Dusk great games came out this century
This song makes me happy. XD
so damn right!!! :D
Roger Nebot lots of games back than done this. Did listen to the Resident Evil 1 ending credits music ? not similar but the genre its pretty music the same.
Of course you are happy!!!! you has beaten this FUCKING INCREDIBLE GAME !!!!!
Great theme.
You hear this theme while holding a controller in your hand it means you are the World Warrior! You earned this guitar riff 🙂
Yeah
I am happy of this music
When I heard this for the first time i felt like I was ready for the "real" and that I'd win in life for real..best ending theme ever!!!
This is the song that plays as you enter heaven with lots of great memories, lots of accomplishments, family members that love you, kids that are all grown up, and no debts.
that is correct brother
Oh this would fit Bison.
I would happily bow down to him
This song should just be played just for beating Championship Edition Sagat! Just skip Dictator Entirely like nope you beat Sagat Gg
???
Man you summed it up perfectly
The 1990s will never be forgotten. And Street Fighter II is one of those reasons why. Such a classic game.
thanks for playing presented by capcom!!
Presented by segapconintendo considering all three of those game companies had there own ports segas port is genesis Nintendo's port is snes and capcoms port is the arcade
gotta say this music is superb, even without nostalgia. when i first heard it, age 10 or whatever, i thought "god damn that's EPIC music!"
Happy Anniversary Street Fighter 2. Thank you for 30 years of wonderful memories.

707username707 did you play streetfighter in the 90's ?
This song was also in SNES - but it was neccessary to complete the game on level5 or level6 (not sure anymore)
You'll also get another special ending if you complete the game on hardest level without losing any round ;-)
Ps1 was dope so was the nintendo 64 when i played mario kart and also pokemon
People often point out how Ken’s theme is very similar to Mighty Wings, but for some reason I never see anyone mentioning how this is basically a remix of Pachelbel’s Canon in D.
I love how Capcom Classics Collection Remixed's credits theme is this version of the SFII credits theme.

Whenever I feel like I could be doing more than what I'm already doing, this song helps me realize everything I've achieved in life already. Don't sell yourselves short, everyone; you're amazing!
I really don't know why, but this theme gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up little bit.
Me too ...
It's the chord progression, it has a very sentimental-pop vibe to it along with the cheerful melody over-top. It's the Pachelbel's Canon chord progression with some bridges thrown in.
One of my greatest memories, getting 2 perfects on M Bison on level 7 and hearing this song in the credits.
impressive 👍
@@KieranM-kn3lt long time ago now sadly 👍😄
I remember when I did beat it on the hardest setting that was amazing. I'll never forget it. 8D
いまだに神曲！神メロディだ！
そうそう。
同じく‼️😆
間違いねえ
Thanks for uploading! I was blown away when I first achieved this ending of the game and got this great song and ending character sequence!
THIS version of the song ( CPS1 ) is still my favorite by far. The CPS2 version didn't do it for me for whatever reason. /shrug
This brings back so many memories of my childhood.
For me it's between CPS1 and Ready To Fight. (vocal version) But yeah CPS1 is great.
I have not played one single Street Fighter game, and this is _still_ in my top 5 best game ending themes of all time.
The good ol' days...
yeah
Yup
Oh yeah :)
This is an epic theme! Oh the good old days. :(
Hell yes. Laundromat days.
This reminds me of Pachelbel's Canon in D. I get the same, great, perfect happy ending feel. 👍👍👍
Mind. Blown. My favourite video game track and my favourite classical piece, and I never freaking noticed IT'S THE SAME PIECE OF MUSIC. Don't I feel stupid....
Yep. Same chord progression, just in a different key. 👍
@@StreetFighter2010 We'll call it "Shimomura's Canon in A Flat"
I love the opening. Such a majestic theme. Brings back memories. :(
the best part
Hj só tem musicas genéricas, isso sim era feito com paixão!!
+Kleyton Sena Concordo plenamente!!!
Eh brother... Só eu que senti uma alegria doida aki? M FODA!
Yoko Shimomura ♥
Desde os anos 90' fazendo trilhas épicas.
Uma música ótima que só não é mais bonita que eu
Hee hee hee
Brasil!!
Representative song of a whole era of games I will never forget. Still enjoying all those masterpieces with full heart
I was frustrated as a kid trying to beat Bison (freaking cheap ass Psycho Crushers) but when I defeated him, saw Ryu's ending, and heard the Ending Theme, I was filled with nothing but joy. ^_^
TorriK0 Where is Ryu? Already seeking the next challenge...the fight is all.
Memories of my childhood.. mans are getting old..
How have I only heard about this now?? It’s so good.
The nostalgia is kickin in the old times
Happy 30th aniversary
Happy 33rd anniversary now that its 2021
"Street Fighter IV must defeat this theme to stand a chance"
:)
This, Mario 64 and Columns 3 are the best staff roll end themes in video games :) 👊🏻♥️👍
When Sega vs. Capcom will be released, I will listen to this tune for hours.
Me too when I make up my own games
Yes!
the first time i played this game at the hardest difficulty Bison killed me 15 times, then i won and listened this song. All i couls say was ' it was worth it. tumbs up if you agree
0:01 通常技でドラム缶（木箱）を壊す
1:01 リュウｖｓケン（M.バイソンVSベガ）模擬戦
1:58 必殺技でドラム缶（木箱）を壊す
Que recuerdos con estos juegos creci, a veces me regañaban porque me gastaba el dinero jugando este maravilloso juego.
I will not cry. I’m strong…. Goddamit. Tears of childhood and memory too strong 😭
The Best game! Nostalgia "90
Yes TRUE ending, this one is the greatest
I love the Street Fighter series and this piece of music still remains my favourite one of all time.
Hey i remember this feeling. Life held endless possibilities when we were kids in these times.
This always raises my spirit. What a song. I skipped so much school for this game
This is why I keep fighting and playing day in and day out with Street Fighter 2. This song conveys the spirit of the Street Fighter challenge.
T_T
I loved this street fighter cameos and cast anime crossover ever!
Yes! Finally! This is the TRUE THEME!!!
Thanks a lot!!
1 Million Thumbs up !
When u go to heaven showing characters u met in ur life.
I hope to meet my loved ones there

Thats going to cause major spasms let alone goosebumps.

simply the best song
for a long time, this was the song that played while i felt the taste of victory... so cool!
I didn't even played this as a kid and I feel nostalgia. That means something...
that is a super smart idea
Congratulations you survived the ZoneSamaStream and managed to finish the entire stream time to Raid
Excelent sound quality, this is the best version (the arcade version) of the greatest fighting ending of all time, a looooonng way!! BTW, what emulator do you used to rip the song? Thanks in advance!! :)
PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hyper Fighting is my favorite version of Street Fighter II
After school I used to get this true ending and walk away letting the other younger viewers watch 😁
I so hope that one day ill dance in complete victory to this tune
I play this when I clock out at work
Nostalgia
Great feel-good tune presented as a completion reward. Bet the composer never realized it would be a tune that would become nostalgic and that so many people would associate it with
youth and carefree days when whipping Sagat or M.Bisons ass was the only priority and things were pretty cool in general.
I've never heard this before😯😯😯
This brings tears to my eyes.
long live street fighter!
Never used more than one credit. Hear this every time.
Zerar sem perder nenhum round...essa música era o troféu.
Justo mano nunca consiguia passar do Vega mas quando joguei a Champion editon peguei o Vega coloquei no verry hard e arregaçei sério

this triggers a whirlwind of nostalgia
Should've been played at the end of the street fighter animated movie coz this is epic!
I remember this track playing for the credits on capcom classics volume 2
Laundromat! They had Street fighter 2 champ edition, Simpsons, and Final fight. Later final fight was switched for Turtles in Time. Good times!
Sweet...
Street fighter the best game of fights
outstanding soundtrack song to end a legendary videogame as street fighter two
I need this , to play at my funeral
this does not bring me memory back.. because i was very bad playing street fighters.. but this track is very beautiful
this theme remember when i finally beat m.bison in my childhood :)
I get the feeling this inspired My Chemical Romance's "The Black Parade".
A true beast of a game '-'
AWESOME😇😇😇
This game is so amazing 😊😊😊
I love it This music 🎼🎼🎼😍😍😍
Good job ! Congratulations👏👏👏
You Win! Perfect!
