I love the Street Fighter II soundtrack in general, but yeah, Chunner's theme was never one of my favorites (except for the Alpha 2 version). This is much more to my liking.
No doubt about it - this is the best Chun-Li theme, period! No other theme comes close! In fact, this is one of my top themes in the entire Street Fighter franchise!
@@marcelmchardy920 i ve just heard them now. They re very good, solos, Zeku pretty remarkable. But i think, looking as a whole work, sfex is the best, only 2 themes are kind of meh, Akuma and Zangief ones. The rest are all classics, wow.
This might be the best designed character theme ever for a fighting game omg... is strong, is sexy, it is delicate... it fits Chun Li perfectly! Pure genius.
One of my favorite Chun Li themes!! Heck even at the part 1:37 before it goes into the little minor solo. Sounds SO GOOD!! Plus it got that 80s vibe to it.
You both make fair points. I’d say it’s takes from both eras. The guitars and some of the synths give it 90s where the rest of the synths and drums give it 80s
Street Fighter EX+ Alpha had / has one of THE best Street Fighter soundtracks. F**k what Street Fighter II bitches want to say. I love the Street Fighter II soundtrack. But EX+ took the arrangements to a whole 'nother level and brought some of the best original character themes to the table since Street Fighter II.
DJCandyManMike They werent great but they werent bad either. I enjoyed playing EX quite alot. I actually perferred playing it. I want those triple jump kicks Ken does to come back too dammit.
I’m with you to this day..... even when I was a kid and didn’t know how to properly analyze music.....I remember being in 7th grade playing this and it was those exact part that hit me in the feels lmao
This music makes me realize that Chun-Li isn't a chinese policewoman anymore, but a anime superheroine capable of fighting supervillains from other planets among different superheroes. A fitting theme for the strongest woman in the world.
@@Bloodlyshiva *Hyakuretsu-Ken* (Kenshiro's Hundred Rending Fists) VS *Hyakuretsu-Kyaku* (Chun Li's Hundred Rending Legs). If both combatants were to use those skills against each other in a non-fatal fashion, it might be evenly matched. Or perhaps, if the stars align, a team-up of the ultimate killer combo of punches and kicks against a single target.
SFex3 & SF3rdStrike were the best soundtracks in the whole SF franchise imo. They will always be my favorite soundtracks of all time. *Edit: EX2 was also a favorite, in fact I'd say the whole EX series together had the best music ever alongside SF3rdStrike.*
This theme is sooo good. Def fits her personality and rush down playstyle. Her original theme rn is good too but it just feels like all it says is "Chinese kung fu girl"
Ooof... I was jamming with ya and then you went and crapped on a legend, I'm going to have to stop you there. You see Street Fighter 2's themes are a masterpiece of world themes. They're songs transcending character and country and becoming part of the identity of the game itself. You can't listen to Guile's theme without knowing who he is, nor Chun-Li'a or Dhalsim. It is objectively a jewel in all of gaming. EX has more modern, exciting tracks, but even this song could have easily belonged to nearly anyone in the cast, and it belongs nowhere. It's good music, but it isn't the fine art that is SF2. Respect to Yoko Shimamura for giving the world its first gaming soundtrack in its honor.
I need to play this again badly.EX3 was an underatted but a very enjoyable Street Fighter game.It has the style of Tekken 3 and that's a very good thing.The EX series needs to make a comeback soon and Street Fighter is one of the very fighting games in my eyes that have done well in both 2D and 3D.Same with the Mortal Kombat series as well.
Imagine how hype it would be when they do crossover with Arika in SF6 and this theme plays with Chun-Li. Since a lot has changed on Capcom side and most FG producers seem to favor on collaborating and helping each others, I guess it's might be possible now.
This one is so good, I basically make a compilation of all nostalgic songs and just play them along while I spend thousands of hours in training stage in almighty USF4
One day I will become a famous public figure and I will go to the Capcom headquarters in China and hug everyone who works in this gaming company who made my childhood awesome and made the greatest times of my life.
One of my favorite themes in this game. I miss playing this game! I'm going to miss Capcom, it sucks that it's up for sale now. They had a good run and that company lasted for so many years too!
This is by far my favorite Chun-Li theme it fits her well, It sounds like the credits music from a kick ass martial arts movie obviously set in modern day hong kong in the 90's lol just awesome all the way around. I hope when fighting EX layer hits in 2018 that capcom gives them the license for some street fighter character DLC.
Can you believe i grew up with mk and sf 2 and never in my life heard this till now and thanks to Maximillion doods youtube channel the part i like is ten seconds, i like the whole theme but 30 seconds till 40 seconds gets me good. I'm weird like that. Those little parts in music is my drive passion addiction it hits my soul. And i never played this sf ex either missed out. I wish sony or xbox would put them up in their stores.
Ligtning Dog wow 3 months ago i posted that time flies, now that i remember i played this game once a long time ago only once crazy. I would replay it why not.
Played Street Fighter EX 2 at Anime North last month. Was completely surprised when I saw that Chun Li had Gomen Ne as a command taunt. LP, LP, -> LK, HP: Gomen Ne!
Say what you want about the EX series of Street fighter, but the music is fire and has some of the best renditions of specific character themes Like Guile, Sagat and Chun, other themes are great but those are fire
Now at Street fighter 6, Guile avenged Charlie, Ryu conquered his inner demon, Chun Li took down Shadaloo, 36 years since the story started back in 1987, it is THE epic journey of entire arcade style fighting game history. Me as an 80's kid, can tell the tale to kids that born in the 2010's that just been introduced to fighting games by FS6, and tell them 'I was there, at the very beginning, and the moment #37, and through it all to this day to pass this torch to you.'
This is the best Chun Li theme in my opinion
I agree so much
That's right!
Soooo agreed
Based
Absolutely, I can't even go back to her original theme. 🔥
This music is on some "I'm the last hope for humanity" type shit. CLASSIC
I think Ken's music is more like that
Guile, Ryu and Garuda too.
J Par hell yeah GUILE AND RYU!
basically what plays when she finally kills bison
@@Joe_Parmesan I can agree with Ryu
Being a SF2 lover, I have to say this theme is actually a lot better and overall more epic and stylish than original Chun's theme :)
I wholeheartedly agree. The remakes of the original aren't bad, but this one here IS an original with more of an Epic feel to it
I love the Street Fighter II soundtrack in general, but yeah, Chunner's theme was never one of my favorites (except for the Alpha 2 version). This is much more to my liking.
ZEBASS I totally agree!
IMO Not the best, but close! Alpha 3 Chun Li > EX3 Chun Li > SF2 Chun Li
Yes
One of the best and most exhilarating Street Fighter theme of all time.. Fantastic.
Arika knew how to make kick ass theme tunes.
+Gray Fox Those are the guys from SuperSweep. They've worked on many titles, look them up
Ikuto*P Thanks
The composers worked on the No Game No Life soundtrack.
They did make some great music!
Can't wait for EX Layer to release, and see how the music fares compared to this.
we need a new EX.
I think it can work just look at how Akuma plays in tekken 7
From the top of my head i could think of at least 3 reasons it could not be factible.
iucidium1982 what ever happened to that fighting game Arika was workin on for 3ds? I just remember screen shots!
Marcus Thomas cancelled tech demo :(
iucidium1982 You just got your wish they're actually making a new game no joke
No doubt about it - this is the best Chun-Li theme, period! No other theme comes close! In fact, this is one of my top themes in the entire Street Fighter franchise!
Barely another sf edition beats EX themes.
Ryan Roubert 2 zeku and karin’s theme are pretty neat
@@marcelmchardy920 i ve just heard them now. They re very good, solos, Zeku pretty remarkable. But i think, looking as a whole work, sfex is the best, only 2 themes are kind of meh, Akuma and Zangief ones. The rest are all classics, wow.
Every doubt about it. This is a'ight, but it doesn't hold a candle to her classic theme.
Imo sf3
This is Chun-li's most iconic theme, in my opinion. It really celebrates the legacy of the character.
You said it Donald. Hey have a great life 😃
This might be the best designed character theme ever for a fighting game omg... is strong, is sexy, it is delicate... it fits Chun Li perfectly! Pure genius.
X2 ❤️

Chun Li is Everything besides delicate. xD Shes as Strong as Blankets and covers tucked in a hotel room bed Lol.
you should never reply with these types of comments ever again
@@nicholassmith277 Probably meant "elegant."
Can't unhear hienshu over and over.
Yeah, her AI really loves spamming that.
One of my favorite Chun Li themes!! Heck even at the part 1:37 before it goes into the little minor solo. Sounds SO GOOD!! Plus it got that 80s vibe to it.
has more of a 90's vibe to me, I hear this. I think arcades, beat em ups. no social media... just pure fun.
You both make fair points. I’d say it’s takes from both eras. The guitars and some of the synths give it 90s where the rest of the synths and drums give it 80s

You're right!
It's a real shame the games themselves weren't all that great because you're right. The music is top notch, and this is a prime example.
fuck yeah
Agreed. There's only so many times a guy can hear a remix of a SFII theme. Akira has some genius composers.
DJCandyManMike They werent great but they werent bad either. I enjoyed playing EX quite alot. I actually perferred playing it. I want those triple jump kicks Ken does to come back too dammit.
I was blessed to have been born in the 90’s
I deeply miss those relaxed easy going days
90s is the best
Probably the best decade in human history

Man they just take it to a whole another level and killed it at 2:52!
1:41
That synth and bass; it just gets me everytime.
*Every. Fucking. Time.*
I’m with you to this day..... even when I was a kid and didn’t know how to properly analyze music.....I remember being in 7th grade playing this and it was those exact part that hit me in the feels lmao
Not to mention the breakdown at 2:24 is just a melodic beauty sucking you into the final break.
Shoo I see what you're talking about heck even that little part before it goes to that part at 1:37
Simón carnal, siempre me mandas a beber y a drogarme con esa parte 💜
@@ItsDaOneMac carnal me mandas a beber y a drogarme con esa parte 💜
Heroic theme. This is one of the best themes of any character in any game. Long live Chun-Li
ONE OF THE BEST CHUN themes hands down. No other theme comes close in comparison!
YH, THE POLISH IS JUST TO HIGH ON THIS ONE, ALTHO HER MVC1 THEME HAS A REALLY INDULGENT GROOVE TO IT XD
=)
Not one of the best. This one is THE best!
Third Strike would be close, China Vox is anther Chun Li fave
Arika really has some talented composers! Megaman Network Transmission's music was amazing too.
Them thighs can reach the heavens!!
Marlin Williams 😂
Agreed Chun li is almost as hot as momiji.but there both my favorite characters from SF and doa. Ninija gaiden.i wish Chun li was on doa
Marlin Williams Why are you referring to yourself in the third person? And why do you want to be called "Little Foot from The land Before Time"?
PIERCE THE HEAVENS!
They can also send you to heaven if they choose to do so
man this soundtrack is givin me a huge 1997 nostalgic feelin:')
Music is like 60 percent of a fighting game when it comes to the pleasure category
Chun-Li's legs once kicked a volcano so hard it started erupting in reverse.
I got to pick a few songs at this cocktail lounge the other day and I chose this and told people it was Calvin Harris
Wayne Jordan LOL !!!
LOL
You’re dead lying bro, no way you did that 🤣
if you did this fr irl you are a goat
hahaha! you fucking legend!!! :D
C'MON AND SLAM
AND WELCOME TO THE JAM
C'MON AND SLAM
IF YOU WANNA JAM
2:30 Love this part of the song
Very reminiscent of Bloodsport with Van Damme in the last fight.
0:30 my favorite part
That guitar solo at the end is so goddamn smooth. Also, it'd be pretty funny to set this song to a gif of a bird on a turntable spinning around XD
This music makes me realize that Chun-Li isn't a chinese policewoman anymore, but a anime superheroine capable of fighting supervillains from other planets among different superheroes.
A fitting theme for the strongest woman in the world.
La más fuerte del mundo ❤️
She more than ever is female Kenshiro.

*Hyakuretsu-Ken* (Kenshiro's Hundred Rending Fists) VS *Hyakuretsu-Kyaku* (Chun Li's Hundred Rending Legs).

Or perhaps, if the stars align, a team-up of the ultimate killer combo of punches and kicks against a single target.
SFex3 & SF3rdStrike were the best soundtracks in the whole SF franchise imo. They will always be my favorite soundtracks of all time.
*Edit: EX2 was also a favorite, in fact I'd say the whole EX series together had the best music ever alongside SF3rdStrike.*
2:24 The queit before Chun Li spinning storm!!!! Best theme hands down!
This is probably my favorite stage theme in all of the SF games. Absolutely incredible job by the composer!
This theme is sooo good. Def fits her personality and rush down playstyle. Her original theme rn is good too but it just feels like all it says is "Chinese kung fu girl"
EXACTLY, it takes makes the chinese theme way too obvious, here you can also hear it, but it's much more subtle
EX series themes > Classic Sf2 themes
IKR
MidnyteBlaze "Ryuike"
Without a doubt. SF2 themes are overrated.
SF2 themes are tiring at this point.
Ooof... I was jamming with ya and then you went and crapped on a legend, I'm going to have to stop you there. You see Street Fighter 2's themes are a masterpiece of world themes.

It's good music, but it isn't the fine art that is SF2. Respect to Yoko Shimamura for giving the world its first gaming soundtrack in its honor.
This theme & China Vox (Third Strike) just have so much more style than Chunny's original theme.
Don't forget "Resolution", Chun-li's theme in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
It's classic and wonderful!
AHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAA.....
Who else remember Chun Li's K.O cry in this game?
Yeah
el mejor street figther que jugue y sus canciones son la ostia que recuerdos

Definitely the best chun li theme
Such a victorious sounding theme music for chun li. Love this one.
Spinning bird was one of my favorite
Banging this in 2021!
2022
Chuns best theme
Chun li thick af 🔥💯
Imagine how hype it would be when they do crossover with Arika in SF6 and this theme plays with Chun-Li. Since a lot has changed on Capcom side and most FG producers seem to favor on collaborating and helping each others, I guess it's might be possible now.
I would LOVE to hear this in a CPS1 and CPS2 arcade board sound engine! This is a TUNE! That goes for nearly all SF EX1 and EX2 stage music.
You can I think! It’s somewhere on TH-cam…
there's a motif/idea here: 0:31 - 0:44, 0:59 - 1:12
and its variation at 1:42 - 1:56 sounds so smooth
amazing. by far the best theme in the game
This is ne of if not the best Street Fighter theme ever made.
This one is so good, I basically make a compilation of all nostalgic songs and just play them along while I spend thousands of hours in training stage in almighty USF4
Listening in 2024
The intro is where it’s at
One day I will become a famous public figure and I will go to the Capcom headquarters in China and hug everyone who works in this gaming company who made my childhood awesome and made the greatest times of my life.
Be sure to tip them with an American express also, son.
Not Yet.
...the Capcom headquarters are in Japan.
Uh, Chun Li?
I think your Castlevania is showing in your theme, heh...
One of my favorite themes in this game. I miss playing this game! I'm going to miss Capcom, it sucks that it's up for sale now. They had a good run and that company lasted for so many years too!
Care to update us on your opinion now
14 years later and they still can't get her music right I think this was one of her classic OG songs better than her theme nowadays 😅
I swear that every time I listen to a song from this game it's a certified banger
01:41 is my favourite part, heh heh I tell you hwhat.
Hank hill? More like dank hill
That boy ain't rahhht
Fuck yeah that's the part that bring back nostalgia from bowling and rollerama arcades.

Unas de mis canciones preferidas del juego
Holy crap that's a long neck.
This game's soundtrack is my reason for being.
Best theme in the game, arguably best theme in Streer Fighter in general!!!
W-O-W man... i really like this theme... very melodic...
yeah ;) like early 80's :D
Exactly!!!
I worked out to this earlier this morning. I squatted 5 times as much as I normally do and now my legs look like Chun-Li's
lol
I dont care what anybody says.. this is the best EX3 theme... on my mama
I agree
This is from EX plus alpha, just like most of the music on this channel.
Sakura's theme was better.
@@wiseass2149 I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY! 😂😂😂.. But jokes aside.. Sakura's theme is pretty cool.
I really think the gameplay of EX series divides the SF fans (i like it personnally) but the OST is prayed by all
Chun-Li and kickass themes. Name a more iconic duo.
This has that 80s Pop kick to it. I luv it.
Say what you want about the EX series of Street fighter, but the music is fire and has some of the best renditions of specific character themes Like Guile, Sagat and Chun, other themes are great but those are fire
I miss this game soooo much.
I love this theme best one!
Those drum rolls are sick
Favorite Chun theme! Gets me pumped up

The solo at the end Is Just epic
"Seems like you've got what it takes. For the moment."

Proceeds to get nostalgic goosebumps @ 1:42
Am I the only who thinks sfex3 is better than sf4 or any versions of sf4's?
no u aren't. I agree with u
i agree wish they make new ex version
Yeah I agree, but I still like her SF4 theme too.
I agree. Capcom and Arika need to be friends again and make a Street Fighter EX4 game on the PS4. Then all would be forgiven.
John Calvin You're definitely not the only one. I've been playing it for years now and I still haven't gotten tired of it. :)
Song is so sweet! How did I not hear about this sooner!?
I LOVE CHUN LI, I MISS THIS GAME SO MUCH.
Going from SF6 music to this is a massive upgrade
SF6 was so janky and primitive, but EX3 fixes all of that. Massive upgrade indeed.
For some reason when I first heard this, I didn't think it was for chun li but after i learned the fact, it seems to fit her just perfectly.
Definitely better than her SF2 theme. This rivals her MVC1 theme in awesomeness.
The Strongest Woman In The World!!!!
the day i played the game after +10 years, i saw the birds and said 'oooh i remember chun li stage' how nostalgic that moment was
You can get a real kick outta this one
