As a kid I always thought these themes were fucking awesome and catchy but never really thought about it in detail. Now that I've grown up and actually started learning music as a musician, I appreciate how complicated and progressive each and every theme is. It's fucking incredible !
gunswordfist yeah, but the progression from 8/16 bit soundtracks to full fledge instruments & synths is why music from this era brings back such positive nostalgia.
Whoaaa, I watched the matches you uploaded back when I used to play Undernight. What a random encounter haha, good to see you're still consistent. You're doing a great service for the community who don't catch the streams!
Chill beginning => evolving into epic melody => finishing on this fabulous guitar solo Back in the day we could feel the passion in the video game industrty
don't forget about SNK stuff like KOF titles with its outstanding arrange theme, just check Arashi no saxophone 95,96,97,98 , Terry ast from kof 99 and 2000.
man remember skipping school and going to the pool hall and playing this game and the music was trippy! eventually got it on ps1 and used to just vibe on the bgm. Im also 32 now
Symbioticwolfkat 13 clearly does not know the definiton of a pedophile, kids (I'm assuming he's a boy/girl in his teens who has nothing else better to do, except get pleasure from their own hand because they lack the confidence to actually talk to people in the real world and insead troll on youtube) these days!
Imagining Guile, Ryu and Ken in a car together cruising somewhere. Guile's driving while Ken's running his mouth on the passenger side. Ryu sits quietly lost in thoughts while gazing emptily at the scenery. Don't ask.
I just imagine Guile chilling in a bar, and then some asshole comes in looking for a fight. When the music kicks up, its Guile opening a can of whoop ass XD
Music impregnated itself into my being from the tender age of 10, I didn't know. Every time I heard that song, and still hear it to this day Every strand of my being revives, and a sparse voltage of electricity dances beneath the entirety of my skin. This song, is the reason I am a musician today. Thank you Ayoko Saso...and God bless Capcom
+Temujin18S They don't do ANYTHING like this anymore brother. Corporate greed and a gratuitous need to 'evolve', have perverted what we once held dear. Video games used to be about selling you an escape, a challenge, a genuine alternate reality from the rat race... Now, it's just about sales, program it, and ship it out :(
beautiful speech brother !!!! God is real and he does things like that to those who believe, he did the same to me. i am happy you found your calling through God, those he loves he gives musical genius too !!!!!!
I remember every time I had a fight on Guile's stage in this game, I'd try to draw out the match for as long as possible just so the battle could continue during that final epic guitar solo! lol The pounding synths, and thunderous bass playing is amazing on this one, and the jazzy breakdown is just sublime. And that climactic guitar solo is a real goosebumps inducing moment! xD The original EX Plus Alpha themes were awesome, as they sounded like actual, fully rounded, musical pieces, instead of short, repetitive themes on a loop, which was the norm in beat em ups up until then. Shame this series instalment has very little chance of re-appearing due to Arika owning the rights, rather than Capcom. :(
SaviourV Oh, at least 90% of them, probably more. lol That solo has such a galvanising effect, it's impossible not to be pumped up by it! The entire theme is just incredible though, and probably the best one in the game, which is no mean feat, considering how amazing the rest of the soundtrack is. The contrast between the smooth jazz, and the intense bombastic rock is a strange, but great combination, and makes this theme quite unique. :)
***** You exaggerate much. ^_^;; But I suppose that's to be expected. That guitar solo is most certainly a morale-booster. And I do believe you used it to maximum effect in your battles. Commendable indeed. Did Garuda / Vega (Bison) / Gouki / Skullo / Kairi (from SFEX2+) give you any trouble?
SaviourV Nope, I'm not exaggerating, then again, I wasn't factoring in the one player matches against the computer on a high difficulty level. lol The 90% thing, is for when I played against my brother, who wasn't great at the game. :P And yes, those characters did give me trouble, especially Garuda! xD
+Geoffrey Routin did you also get a couple us flag tatoos appearing on your arms too ? and a furious urge to tell people to go home and be family men, for 'murrica ?
This song is no longer appearing in the Street Fighter EX3 soundtrack on RUclips music, its been replaced by some weird mix tape that just ends up playing this song anyway
Every time I hear this and see this artwork, I always think of Guile shadowboxing and perfecting his special moves on base...he then realizes he's lost track of time and looks to the sky; "Hmmm....now that's a strange sunset" says Guile.
Guiles theme may be iconic and more known but this....this to me is the real theme of guile (it starts off messing around with the fighter then soon as the tempo changes BAM guile kicks the ever loving beep out of you and this fight just got serious).
Man, didn’t realize as a kid playing this game at the time, but this band is 🔥🔥🔥 especially that bass. The awesome music made this gem of a game so much more enjoyable!
Yea, definitely man, its crazy that this is 1997 videogame music. I love the ex series soundtracks they were amazing and still blow me away even today.
My older sister always like this theme, but I hardly remembered it. Well dang, now I can see why she liked it so much. Maybe this is Guile's theme after hours.
Never played as guile ever...but this is the best track I've heard in any street fighters game...it would be Nice if this was a ost option in his rival fights in USFIV
This game (well EX Plus Alpha actually, where this theme is originally from) was a big part of my childhood, i absolutely loved that game, the gameplay, the art, and the MUSIC, aww man the music, it was incredible. Still my favorite SF soundtrack of all time, even slightly ahead of the SF3 games and Alpha 2. Got it Christmas of 1997 along with Soul Blade and some 4x4 racing game with my PS1.

This music is so awesome, it makes you forget that Guile has no eyebrows.
I'm Batman You know what they say; you never know someone has no eyebrows until someone else points it out.
I missed that! Lol!
His eyebrows are the least of his problems.
Hahahha
@@sridrawings4510 lol nice one!
this is probably the dopest sf soundtrack, I barely played the game but all of the music is instantly recognizable.
Gil? My man.
This comment was made 10 years ago and it still holds up. This music is amazing lol.
@@purpleshirtfish You know what also holds up years later? gmcfosho's music.
He got the swag.
If you get a chance, this series is dope. I owned 1 and 3, didn't particularly care for number 2.
3rd Strike.
I miss the mid late 90's when street fighter was going the jazzy route.
When every street fighter had a theme and musical motifs.
not only street fighter, KOF too, at least never dissapointed in jazz themes, just CHECK KOF AST from KOF 94 to XIV.
Rodrigo Vargas i was about to comment exactly this. Arashi no saxophone is just unforgettable, especially the arranged version
Rodrigo Vargas it’s phenomenal! Both games have fantastic OSTs
i thought late 90s was rap like in third strike
Capcom music in the 90s was something dreams were made of...
This and the Garuda stage....Can't compare. Not sure why we are going backwards in quality as we progress onward.
ya n the dream died for good in sf6......
This was made by Arika, not Capcom. Arika's sound team now generally work on Tekken.
@Pixxit-de2sy Yep!
@@mysteriousbob iirc, some of them are ex-Capcom
These transitions from Big Band Jazz to Jazz Fusion and then to Progressive Rock made my ears moist.
As a kid I always thought these themes were fucking awesome and catchy but never really thought about it in detail. Now that I've grown up and actually started learning music as a musician, I appreciate how complicated and progressive each and every theme is. It's fucking incredible !
Check the Jonas bass cover of this and light guardian out.
Well, japan is THE hotbed of jazz fusion
The power riffs have a weird dissonant quality... I kinda dig that
Ye
True!
Gosh, listening to this music just makes me want to go home and be a family man.
...and then someone instigates a fight in your front yard, and you go at it Street Fighter style...

Hope you're listening to this from the great beyond.
I play this in the car with 6 year old on the way to school, he loves this song
I hope the composer and band here know how much everyone loves this jam.
which of the composers is it?
Dear God video game music from the 90's to the early 2000's was the shit!
fusion rock/jazz is really great for games
The 80s deserve some love too!
gunswordfist yeah, but the progression from 8/16 bit soundtracks to full fledge instruments & synths is why music from this era brings back such positive nostalgia.
Go listen to Gran Turismo 3 soundtrack
the music and movies, comics, manga, anime etc
The theme you can save the universe with
Whoaaa, I watched the matches you uploaded back when I used to play Undernight. What a random encounter haha, good to see you're still consistent. You're doing a great service for the community who don't catch the streams!
Hell yeah you can!
Made a remix to this
This song is awesome and all, butI think that credit must be paid to the Hero Academia OST
This made me listen to it with a different mindset
After 20 years this soundtrack it's still in the playlist.Never removed.
#RESPECT
Same here.
Chill beginning
=> evolving into epic melody
=> finishing on this fabulous guitar solo
Back in the day we could feel the passion in the video game industrty
This was the golden age of fighting games. Tekken 1, Tekken 2, Tekken 3, Street Fighter EX/Alpha series and all of their amazing OSTs
don't forget about SNK stuff like KOF titles with its outstanding arrange theme, just check Arashi no saxophone 95,96,97,98 , Terry ast from kof 99 and 2000.
I love the Tekken 4 OST as well, along with Killer Instinct and MK 2 and 3 (and, UMK3)

Leaving out Virtua Fighter 1, 2, 3 is a crime.

holy shit this isn’t even a song its a fucking experience
The build up is so good! Best Guile theme in my personal opinion
this song has no right to be this genuinely amazing wtf
Heard this when I was 13 on SF:EX+a. I'm 32 now and this shit still epic.
28 here I remember the days of playing this after school. omg the gold old days!
You guys made me feel that I'm not alone in this world. I was 8 when I was playing this and now I'm 26 damn!
agreed

Don't ask.
Lore-wise, it kind of sort of makes sense?
Considering Ken is Guile's brother in law, and Ryu hang with Ken.
OH? you learn something new everyday...
You my friend, have just explained the beauty of instrumental music. No need for lyrics, the notes and melodies speak for themselves.
Amen.
gunswordfist Wassup, gunswordfist?
Theme so awesome, your eyebrows have to disappear in order to listen to it.
#SSJ3?
that would explain why guile is such a beast
What are eyebrows?
Fun fact: Guile's Sonic Booms are really him throwing his eyebrows at his opponents.
Vysard Nailed it!
The ultimate question is: does Strange Sunset go with everything?
The world may never know...
It's a Guile theme... So yes. #inception
Yes.
A fan of Super Best Friends?
Hell yes. Especially with Usain Bolt.
I just imagine Guile chilling in a bar, and then some asshole comes in looking for a fight. When the music kicks up, its Guile opening a can of whoop ass XD
The dude Guile fights in the bar is Allen Snyder.
***** it already happened in 1996.

+Simon Mitchell I think you're definitely right, but there are still quality games and quality soundtracks being made
+Zane Haq To a degree, yes there are still a few good soundtracks out there, but NOWHERE CLOSE to how good it used to be
beautiful speech brother !!!! God is real and he does things like that to those who believe, he did the same to me. i am happy you found your calling through God, those he loves he gives musical genius too !!!!!!
This is one of my favorite pieces of music ever
Leo Velli same here
This is the inspiration for SF6's Sharpened Sonic
What Guile hears when you jump after 57 seconds of being conditioned by booms.
If you remember EX Plus Alpha then your sure to remember this GEM!!!
King Jae Of course and I think I may still have it in my PS2 games collection somewhere.
Guiles theme was the best imo
I do and I own ex plus alpha
King Jae it had one of the best soundtrack
This is the he theme that got me to play guile
This song makes me feel like I did everything in life and for the things I didn't I will get another chance

Man, I miss hearing music like this in video games. This so damn smooth.
This sounds like it could fit right into Gran Turismo 2. Super great theme
for real. especially the start of the song
Guile has the biggest bangers in every game.
The good old days
They never come back 😢❤
Early 2000's was the best era.
beginning of this theme is too good! :D
A million viewd street fighter ex ost? My happiness is immeasurable and my day is great
GOD BLESS THIS MUSICIAN!!!!

Best song on the game.

This sounds like something you'd hear in Sonic Adventure.
+DarKnightSpider I'd say more F-Zero but you'r espot on.
F-Zero is more techno and artificial.
I was put more in mind of the build to the main part of the White Land theme with this track
+Hulk2k6 True. White Land and this has some similarities in terms of their wonderful tunes.
+DarKnightSpider I think it's closer to Gran Turismo than Sonic Adventure.

I’d pay for a LIVE concert of this OST.
Back after watching his SF6 Trailer.
He. Is. Back.
When did he go?
Damn this really makes a fight sound super badass. Just imagine two guys fighting throughout the duration of this song. The hype and build up is real
For those times when it's not a full on fight this version works well ;) ruclips.net/video/yt6DDEj89Js/видео.html
That'd be hype.
72 people were victims of an ass beating while this soundtrack was playing in the background.

No u
All the EX/ARIKA exclusive themes should've shown back up in an official capacity by now but Capcom are cowards
capcom doesn't think it's AMERICAN enough okey
this doesn't really go with Guile's personality...
After listering to T-SQUARE songs, suddenly, everything starts to making sense.
Amazing... sounds outta this universe 🎶🎶 that beginning part is incredible
Guiles theme may be iconic and more known but this....this to me is the real theme of guile (it starts off messing around with the fighter then soon as the tempo changes BAM guile kicks the ever loving beep out of you and this fight just got serious).
Yeah, remember that one time a fighting game theme had TWO guitar solos? I miss the Ex series so much.
this reminds me of the days I and my brother used to play ex3 plus on the PS1. Nostalgia

Classic VG songs like this makes me miss the 2000's even more
Had to come back and cleanse my palette after hearing his SF6 theme
Not even tryna hate. I think the SF6 songs are very well produced. But they’re lacking that “theme” factor for me personally
I’ll be honest after 2 months of hearing his SF6 theme it grew on me. I like Guile and he’s my favorite so all of his themes are good actually.
I'm sure you all have read this but.... THAT BASS SLAPS!!!!!
As a Guile theme enjoyer, both is good.
Chill late 90s fighting game jazz
This is legitimately one of my favorite pieces of music. The composer of this game outdid themselves, and I don't even fuck with Guile like that!
This theme sound like gran turismo 3 i think the games around 2000-2003 are like jazz type game
jotaru jotaru this theme is actually originally from Street Fighter Ex plus alpha which came out in 1997 tho,lol.
Yea, definitely man, its crazy that this is 1997 videogame music. I love the ex series soundtracks they were amazing and still blow me away even today.
Orlanzo Etkins I know right? It's like I'm listing to gran turismo 3

word!
has somme jazz elements , more Fusion , EX series has a great soundtrack ,
devon morris JAZZ and LOUNGE music the best. Especially with some japanese flavour in it
yea this is some fusion shit, reminded me of T-Square and Casiopea
