What more of a surprise then to do a song from a game I've never touched before as my first super heavy song of year 3? Street Fighter was something I really shied away from in my earlier covers since it's been done so much. I really didn't want this to sound like everyone else's cover of Ken's Theme but I still wanted to keep as much of the original as possible (even if that meant having METAL vibraphones). I even went so far as to try one of those really lame hardcore 808 drops, but it ended up getting pretty much drowned out because the bass is so heavy. Hope this still does the song justice, though. Love this soundtrack and can't wait to do more!
The biggest trick with this cover was the absurd stretches for the chords. I wanted to combine the back melody of the song with the chords and it turned out to be very challenging. I've always hated using power chords all the way through a song so I'm really trying to incorporate a lot more triads and 9 and 11 chords. The bass was tough too but I think the part I was most proud of was that I was able to write a solo that really fit the song better than any of my other ones. It's all about pushing myself because that's the reason I do these videos! Try new things in hopes to get better!
Maybe something a bit jazzier next week? Hm...

"Hey, Ken, Can I cover your theme song?"
"SHURE-YOUUU-KAN!"
you nailed ken's personality perfectly!
Mephiste Sulfurion lol, that's Ken's answer to everything.
Mephiste Sulfurion ahhh you just made my day, bravo! Great guitar work in the Vid too dude
Mephiste Sulfurion Outstanding! LOL!
LOL!
9 years later still best Ken's theme on the youtube
Agree
Except for the official SFV theme which rocks too!
I agree, searching for the best!!!
can say the same about almost every cover FJ has made
No tattoos back then uh? ;-)
This not just a remix of Ken's theme
THIS IS THE KEN THEME!!!
What it feels like to get rtx 4080
It’s is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@No.1ChildeMainGET IT A100s
Street fighter 2 intro theme + heavy metal + 9 years ago = GREAT NOSTALGIA
One of the few metal covers that actually keeps the style of the original games' soundtrack because it's not too concerned with making it "more metal".
My main problem with remixes nowadays, not just game and movie soundtracks, but just remixes in general.
Is that they try too hard to be original, for example metal covers add extra riffs, guitar solos mid-song.
Or a dubstep mix of a song will sound like the CD got stuck for half a minute, and then there's usually an obligatory base-drop.
It really pisses me off when people use shitty half-asses remixes in their TH-cam videos, and I'm just sitting here screaming at my screen: "WHY NOT JUST USE THE ORIGINAL?!"
I know right? I prefer this cover than the official ken theme in SFV.
The double kickers say otherwise mate.
@@trainknut Hi, just wanting to jump in six years later with no knowledge of if you changed your opinion in any way. Why not just use the original? Because the original already exists! Irrespective of hearing a song you like in a different genre, why would you listen to a cover of a song that changes nothing about the structure when the original already did the same structure perfectly fine? Further more, we’re not trying to make music to be used within a game, and as such are not trying to make it loop in exactly the same way. Instead most of us who do game covers are deliberately trying to make an interesting song out of what may be at the longest a minute long loop. Sometimes it’s even shorter, but is treated like a full song with verse/chorus structure. Equally this is why people add solos: to break away from what already exists and make it sort of their own.
Most arrangers, Jules especially, aren’t deliberately trying to disrespect the original material. But rather, out of respect for it, make it their own. I believe that’s Jules’ philosophy when it comes to his covers; the original already exists and does it well, so here’s my take on it. Again, I must reiterate; it’s not in any disrespect for the original material. There’s a very deliberate methodology behind how Jules arranges his covers (or how I do for that matter). It’s very formulaic actually!
@@AlphaStormMusic I'm not talking about remixes in general, just ones that suck.
This one doesn't, for the record.
You win. Perfect
This!
not quite
Coming on 10 years later, still rocks.
Shadilay, my dudes. 🐸👌🏼

It's hard to find good Ken Stage remixes. This is one of the best I've heard
Man, it took me a while to re-discover this. Still proper metal 6+ years later!
This video's comment section is pure gold.
+Julie K i wonder if he knows what is going on here.
considering he likely gave Sargon the right to use it, I'm sure he's familiar with the channel
Yeah it is. XD
this is metal as fuck.
indeed, more metal than most metal bands
It's probably more rock than metal, but it still fucking badass!
Your comment is metal also
I watch and listen to your work more than any other artist here on youtube because of two things. You play with feeling and passion and you do your absolute best to preserve what makes the original songs great, amazing and catchy while putting your own flair into it that actually flows with the song instead of against it. Thanks for sharing your art with the world sir. You truly are a great artist and musician! Keep it rockin for us!
Simpler times when you heard this every week
Couldn't agree more
He just wanted to play video games
who would of thought that we would look back on those shit show of times as simpler by comparison
@@onlinealiasuk feelsbadman
You still can, V has picked up the mantle
Now THIS is Ken's theme. They've really not done him justice since SFII. Well done, sir!
This is now officially the anthem of the shit lords.
Uriah Knowles ...of the current year
+Allan Reford Ohhh yesss! :D
+Allan Reford sargon of akkad anyone?
+Allan Reford Yooo I saw you on the video "Why Americans Hate Europeans", funny bump'in into ya' here.
+Iiristrusk Ginge You caused quite a shit storm my friend.
Still coming back after 9 years.
When you suddenly feel like conquering mesopotamia
There is not yet enough metal on this planet! So thank you for adding to the score, and thank you for providing flawless mp3s and WAVs. this goes right into my databank for eternal listening.
I came here to listen to a great tribute to a fantasic game.. but ended up getting blocked by Steve Shives.
I cried tears of joy and leaped MILLIONS of feet in the air engulfed with the flames of justice and awesomeness screaming SHOOOORRRRRYUUUUKEEEEN!!!! KEN RULES!!! WELL DONE JULES YOU'VE MADE MY DAY!!! YOU'VE MADE KEN FANS PROUD!!! GOD BLESS MAN!!! 😉✌✌
absolutely the best cover ive heard very nice job guys amazing work
True talent, badass performance
This is really great! Just curious... would you be opposed to letting me use this song for the intro to a crappy videogame podcast that I do with a friend and nobody listens to? We are both Street Fighter fans and this would be perfect!
+Chris Krentz Sure, just be sure to credit. :)
I'd listen to your podcast man
+Chris Krentz What podcost? Have you made any episodes? I want to give a fair shake to a podcast with *this* opening.
+Chris Krentz Do the podcast!!!!!!! Im sure may of us would love to be guests as well! Also this song is used by Sargon Of Akkad
+lord reptilian the third that's how i found this
This comment section:

This song brought me to sargon.
Kinky Fish That is mathematically impossiblr.
Hugo Marques I win you lose. -Gman
That 5% sure Are triggered white feminists
Kinky Fish It's kinda cool if the good part of the viewers of this video were brought here by Sargon. Guy is playing really good he deserves more views, and with that more cash from yt :-)
I was looking for a good Ken cover!! You're the best out there, man. Much respect!
The best most accurate cut I've ever heard. Precise. You have my subscription.
I knew about this guy's content before watching Sargon's stuff. But to see that Sargon uses this is fuckin' awsome.
The most triggering song on the internet. I´m disgusted this hasn´t been taken down.
+Koishi Komeiji Obviously a joke lol.
+vikipoyta XD
absolutely made my day
+vikipoyta Sargon's weapon.
Tommy Jansen
Ohhh yessss!
Bro. This is legendary. Keep doing what you're doing 👌
I don't understand how anyone can dislike this.
I can't stop watching the first 7 seconds. That's one hell of a power chord, man.
Thank you for letting people use this, you magnificent bastard.
@@dv6298 You say it as if it were a bad thing at all!
Have to listen to this at least once after every TWIS such a good song
I must have watched this about a million times now... It's brilliant!
Ryu: Hey can I borrow some money?
Ken: Shoryuken!
By that said, he meant, SURE-U-CAN!
Panorama Vee
Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but it dies in the process.
dynelol I dont get it can you explain that to me
dynelol So true
lol
Mate, that was brilliant. Loved hearing this in its entirety. That good old chap from Akkad pointed me here.
After all this time, I still come back to this excellent video.
Yo I love this cover so much, excellent job dude 🤘🏻
Hearing this outside of a Sargon video is like seeing a teacher at the grocery store.
Mary S. ifkr
THAT MAKES IT WEIRDER
At least he has a great big bushy beard...
what
lol I actually know this feel. If you're anything like me you'd just pretend you didn't see her and move along as quickly as possible
Everytime my wife asks me to clean the dishes I play this song and crack open a beer.
My nigga.😎
What is the hardest part about rollerblading? Explaining your parents your gay!
Go home and be a family man!!
Holy fuck, that's really a great idea!
Boomer alert
That smile at the end was so good.
Sick cover of one of my favorite game songs. Blast from the past. 1980 something, maan I can't even remember when SF2 came out, that is how long ago it is.
Gotta say I really love this cover. Really gets my blood pumping.
This. Is a victory song.
I hope kyle rittenhouse is pumping this right now
I honestly have to say that this young and very gifted and talented young brother really did amazing job with playing this theme to my favorite character since I discovered and played the game my self amazing job my guy keep up with the gift and talent
This is the best Ken theme cover on TH-cam.
Funny, as soon as I saw Sargon had said "Ken's Theme is perfect for guitar", I knew you'd be the one who did the cover.
Been a fan for quite a while now, but I didn't know about this cover until Sargon played it at the end of his videos.
Rock on, dude.
This is so gddam good, you're the new gold standard for this song
Ken is my fav to play as. This is awesome!
Your super slick guitar licks make me cry
Sick tone. What pickups you got in those guitars?
All stock pickups, except for the Schecter. Those have Duncan Blackouts in 'em.
+Panikoba Luravdaule Good.. or cool... or awesome.
+Jeremy Guiles Nails form Feminist and SJW
+Panikoba Luravdaule
Pure pestilence, fam.
I have an Ibanez guitar, Seymour Duncan JB would sound similar ?
The GamerGate theme song
Patriarchy. Gamergate is not diverse enough.
+faissialoo Well the theme is based from a Video Game character that just happens to be an blond white-American heterosexual male that nearly dominates against all of his opponents (including women) in international fighting tournaments, hence the "toxic masculinity," and heir of the richest family in the Street Fighter series, hence the "white male privilege," not to mention his last name is "MASTERS."
So I'd say Ken's theme is a perfect amalgamation of what GamerGate & the Patriarchy is painted to be perceived as. :3
+Saiyanryu Yes!
+Saiyanryu Ken is 1/4 American (3/4 Japanese)
Also, 3rd richest in series after Bison and Karin has more pocket change than his entire fortune.
iddaishan
You're right, I know about the 3/4 Japanese, part, but I do think he comes off more as a white guy than a Japanese guy, and I'm assuming most people that don't know the storyline see him as a white dude too.
But I didn't know Kanzuki family was richer and I did forget about the Bison's wealth being greater; I should probably start acquiring more Bison dollars before all of the nations' economies crash. :3
I’m pretty sure this video was the one that got me into guitar. Thank you Family Jules.
this has been my wake-up alarm tune for many many years. Cheers
DUDE, CAPCOM NEEDS TO BUY THIS SONG FROM YOU
I miss when sargon vids ended with this. I know the algorithm hates it, but I liked it.
This is EXACTLY what I need tonight. Cheers dude
bro u r simply amazing....hats off

Greetings from Kekistan!

This is the best cover of that legendary song in whole yutube!Congrats brother
ド頭のところとか、ケンのテーマの個人的に好きなところのツボ全部押さえてくれてて、聴いててバチクソ気持ち良かった
This is really fucking good.
A god-king sent me here.
I like how this song went from a pretty sick cover of a video game track to a badass riff I immediately associate with sticking it to big brother...
Fucking great! Pure adrenaline into the veins! 💪
Your solo and variations perfectly matched with the spirit of the character!
Great job man! My vote is 💯!
Thanks man. Not only did you take me back to 1992, but amped it up a notch.
Goddamn this is an entire metal adaptation. Incredible playing.
I’m enjoying this because it’s wonderfully constructed and performed and, while I was always more of a Ryu player, Ken’s theme is indisputably awesome.
I loved those major resolutions at the end!
The best version of kens theme ever,i mean come on kens japans nod to America he needs us to represent.
Jewels you have done it.
Absolutely impressive! Great Job!
Greatings from Brazil - Rio Grande do Norte - Natal!
Good luck!
Love this. Heard on Sargon, and thought it was Joe Satriani. Had no idea it was a metal version of a video game song. Shredding.
Ken’s was always the the best street fighter music, you just made it better!!!
This made my morning. Thanks dude!
My boi Ken in Smash Bros Ultimate
The part from 2:32 is just incredible. Dope.
Best version ever! you are a machine, dude!
WOW ... Goosebumps here 😳😳
Your guitar's neck isn't accommodating for everyone. What if someone with really short arms tried to play it? Huh? Yeah, that's right, you have nothing to say about that.
PC culture in a nutshell
+UsernameUser hey Benny, how are you doing?
Benny as a pic? That's something I don't see everyday.
Its not that im ignorant of what pc is,i just dont care.
Actually im glad to fuck one very much just for the memeing rights.
Your feelings dont matter you dont matter and everyone you love is going to die.
Have a nice day ;)
Well it’s ok if he’s tuned to 432hz that will make anything resonate in ur ear better as the ultimate tuning form
My dislike of SJW's found me over here.
+MrAntiFarLeft Agreed! Same here! ;)
+MrAntiFarLeft Reading the description of a Sargon vid sent me here.
Yay!
My dislike of SJW's found me at Sargon of Akkad's then hearing this awesomeness brought me here.
Nice! Good mix of instruments :) I like the arrangement
Probably still the best Ken cover I've heard. Also I need that Jim Morrison poster in my life.😊
Mind blowing
An Akkadian emperor sent me here
Sargon does not yield.
your not alone.
This was part of a playlist and just came on for me. I was like "...Sargon?"
An Akkadian conspiracy nut?
Brock the Rock Brockson you mean conspiracy? no not that one you must be confused.
very awesome dude prefect. respect and greetings from Wales UK
dude you rock wow impressive. this and the Castlevania themes fave!!
Playing this after trump won is the best feeling
Sargon of Akaad and his Nazi bashing self brought me here
Redus The Riot Act Me too. But what the hell, it makes me want to retry the arena of Marvel vs Capcom 2.
TOUGHEYES That game is the SHIIEEEEET!
Redus The Riot Act
IT IS THE PINNACLE OF VIRTUAL MARTIAL PROWESS!
Redus The Riot Act Damn you too?
damon page Wut?
You are superb. You make me play this song in morning to make me feel empowered above all. Ryu and Ken theme is my favourite (Arcade version)
You have the best cover video on this song by far
Quite an impressive like-dislike ratio. Not used to videos where you can barely see the dislike side. Good job haha
1:52-2:15 That's the sound of the Patriarchy jizzing on the face of wilful ignorance.
Hehe
Beyond epic!!!! This gave my childhood more meaning 🔥🔥🔥
You couldn't have done this any better Wow it would be awesome to have some lyrics with it Masterful bro
This is the song playing in the background at our secret patriarchy meetings
Whenever you hear this song you know the patriarchy's arrived
will you please rise for the playing of our patriarchal anthem
Sounds awesome, shame I come in at around extremely oppressed, on the scale... No patriarchy for me.
the first rule of patriarchy is we secretly convene on rape culture. We keep scores.
Wrong Ken. The Mojo Dojo Casa House is over there..
I know we all love Sargon but let's appreciate the music first haha
Love this
who’s Sargon
Oh I've loved this theme before Sargon even had a channel, it's just so amazing!
zxy atiywariii can you link me his channel I’m curious what does he do lol
It's mostly politics
@@Panikdemet mostly him talking as if he understood politics, to be precise.
This is the best thing on TH-cam!
So amazing!!
