So the playlist I looked at definitely skipped Urien and Gill, but I looked them up after! Urien’s stage was not really my favorite, very fast-paced and a little too busy for my ears but still pretty cool. Gill’s was awesome, loved the beat, chords-everything! Sorry I missed these two!
Also there's a live jazz band playing Alex's stage. I believe it's called J Music Ensemble. Def check them out. They cover tons of jazzy video game songs
I have a List of Video game Music you should listen to Killer Instinct 1 and 2 Capcom Vs SNK 2 Super Mario Odyssey Street of Rage 1,2 and 4 skip 3 because that game sound track kinda sucks. Castlevania Symphony of the Night. Tekken 4 and Tekken Tag 1 Bomber Man Hero. Kingdom Hearts 2
The rapper for Third Strike is Toronto local Infinite and believe it or not he wrote and recorded the vocals for all the songs in only a few hours. The fact that he's still spitting harder than anything im the Persona games goes to show he's the real deal.
It's so cool to see your unfiltered reaction to NYC Jazzy. It's one of the best Fighting game songs ever and to see your first contact to it was amazing. I too kept replaying the beginning of the song when I listened to it the first time lol
I'm pretty sure this video popped up in my timeline because of all of the fighting game content that I watch, and I have the biggest smile on my face right now because this is my favorite fighting game of all time.
Long time 3rd Strike player, first time viewer of your channel. Glad you enjoyed the 3S OST! The character themes are definitely tailored to the characters. "Spunky" definitely fits the character: Makoto, who is tom-boy karate expert. She has slow walk, super fast, hits like a truck and kill most of her opponents in 2 or 3 combos. The themes vibes fit her playstyle perfectly.
Btw, most of the "drops" are the 'Round 2' parts of the fight. So the music chamge complements the story of the fight. Pretty cool for a fighting game from 1999.
Glad you loved it! As an old 3rd Strike player, I can vouch the music still holds up so phenomenally well after all this time and always leaves me wanting another match! If I'm not mistaken, you're missing two songs here: Urien's Theme (Crazy Chili Dog) and Gill's Theme. Both are worth a listen!
I’m a massive vg music fan and it was cool to listen along and have similar reactions to the different moments of the songs as you. It’s cool to know the lore and see you make correct assumptions about the game just from the music and song title. Whenever I hear a midi sax in retro games that I like I ALWAYS search for live covers after lol. That part got me. Great video. Keep up the cool stuff.
i love this channel cuz i get to vibe chill with you and listen to absolute bangers at the same time. Perfect content to have in the background while im playing
This was a great review! As a musician and a lover of 3S and the soundtrack, you have great tastes! A lover of VGM is dope! Keep up the great work sis! Subscribed! 🙏
Its sooo dope watching you vibe out to these themes. Alex and Ken's stage is one of my favorite video game songs of all time! Also, I'm glad you took the time to find the "Arranged" versions of these tracks because they are MUCH better in quality than the arcade originals. Great stuff and keep them coming! :)
Im so glad you're back!!! I think I've done this before, but i implore you to try the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack. You'll be amazed at how the 16 bit Genesis sound chip made incredible house music in 1992 (Yuzo Koshiro is a genius).
@@battleapplemy favorite music is Streets of rage 2 is when you leave the carnival and go to the baseball stadium cuz you basically got done leaving a stage that was supposed to be fun and enjoyable and you go directly to another stage that's fun and enjoyable is the 4th stage in the game
12:50 that makes perfect sense for Ryu's stage, right? he is the "vanilla" character of the game and street fighter itself. he is the archetype of the balanced, standart character of the entire 2D fighting game genre
Check out Jazzy NYC '24 - it's a tribute and celebration of Third Strike on the biggest tournament stage in 2024, they had the same rapper who done original intro and people from the community to work on it.
Third Strike was one of the first games that I actually started to pay attention to how a soundtrack was done. This ranks up there for me, personally, with Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3, and Guilty Gear.
I’m so glad to see fighting games getting recognized in recent years for their great music. You should def check out the Tekken and SoulCalibur franchise. SoulCalibur II has the most iconic in its series and Tekken 3, 4, and 5 are up your alley for sure.
Third Strike unarguably puts the "street" in Street Fighter's music, great sound! Also yeah, Sonic CD slaps, hahaha. This is my first time coming across your videos, hoping you'll listen to CvS2's soundtrack if you haven't yet!
15:00 J Music Ensemble did a fantastic Cover of Jazzy NYC 99 I highly recommend checking them out if you haven't already. Alot of nice jazz covers of songs I think you will enjoy and already covered on your channel
26:23 YOU'RE SO RIGHT!! I think the player select theme is what got me to play this game. It's so dang good, they got no right making a character select theme go so HARD 😂
It's always great to see people discover and react to these hidden gems in fighting game soundtrack. You're already probably getting the "you forgot Gill and Urien's theme" in the comments. But if you haven't listened to those yet, please check'em out. I highly recommend listening to the soundtrack of Tekken (preferably Tekken 3 - Tekken 8). It's a great listen.
I'm SO happy you've given 3rd Strike a listen! As a martial artist I MUST train with this OST w/ my fav being the JAZZY NYC '99! Tekken 3 gets a most honorable mention.
I'm here for you discovering more and more fighting game soundtracks! This is definitely one of my favorites, it has such a unique and cool vibe. You can unlock most of these songs in Street Fighter 6 and I always have them bumping whenever I'm in training mode 😀
@@deeannchesebro Tekken 2 is awesome but half of the music is pretty meh all things considered, Tekken 3 is also pretty meh for some of them but its is definitely more iconic.
Great reaction! I've been playing 3rd Strike for over 20 years, and some of its songs have been on my daily walking/jogging playlist for about as long. This OST is timeless. I'd recommend you give Capcom VS SNK 2, Tekken 5, and Katamari Damacy a listen sometime.
Third strike might be greatest video game soundtrack ever. I knew u were going to like Ibukis chill beat and the select player song. I just discovered your page and I can tell you have awesome taste.
Omgggg you described every song so well! There were some skips I never listened to like Q’s stage but you got me to the good parts and now I’m sampling some of the songs in my DJ set🙊 I love this vid thank you for reviewing the soundtrack!!
I'm wondering if this why Street fighter 6 kind of went back to this hip hop vibe. Canonically Street fighter 3rd strike was the the current timeline of street fighter till street fighter 6. It feels like they're giving homage to 3rd strike.
Possibly but the lack of heart is really too much of gap. This would be like comparing Lil Wayne of today to the Lil Wayne of The Carter era. SF6 quite possibly has the worst soundtrack of any mainline SF game.
Happen to find this on the algorithm, clicked in a heart beat. It thrills me to find ppl listening to music or talk about stage and gove their own opinions. Enjoyed every second. Have a list of themes for u to listen too thatll have your ears cravin The King of Fighters Fatal Fury/Garou Tekken Midway era Mortal Kombat DBZ Budokai/Budokai Tenkaichi Naruto Ultimate Ninja/Ultimate Ninja Storm Sly 2 Band of Thieves Transformers 2004 Jak Trilogy Soul Calibur 2
Hi Apple! Good on you for doing a reaction to this awesome game's soundtrack! One thing I wanted to note! At 6:54, you mention they didn't use real instruments. You were listening to the arranged soundtrack. The original and arranged sound VERY different. Crowded Street is one such song. If you listen to the original Jazzy NYC 99, you can for sure hear more bass. The only thing the arranged soundtrack has over the original is how they extend the song. You also asked if a live band covered any songs at 15:05. J-Music and insaneintherainmusic both did covers of Jazzy NYC '99 and they're amazing! If you want more Street Fighter III goodness, check out the 2nd Impact soundtrack!
I haven't seen this type of reaction video. Awesome. Yeah the 3rd strike soundtrack is legendary at this point. My favorite one is the staff roll theme moving on. Yup I used to play that track whenever I finished things important like work, a project, etc. Best one is when I played this track on my headphones years ago after quitting an awful job. I walked through downtown with this beat bumping feeling such relief that I was finally done with that shitty daily grind. Man, those where the days.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this! Brings me back to 1999-2000 and listening to the sound track while waiting for my turn to go in the arcades. My favorites were Alex’s/Ken Theme ‘99, Elena and Ibuki’s stage. I remember even losing the 2nd round on purpose to listen more of the music in Round 3! Subbed! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Your channel popped up in my feed after listening to some SF3 a few days ago. You're the first channel I've seen to have genuine reactions to music! Besides vibing, and clearly liking what you're hearing, your comments here and there about music structure are enjoyable! Subbed!
Great video! The whole ethos of the Street Fighter 3 games were to kinda go against the grain so to speak and really do it's own thing compared to what other fighting games, Street Fighter included, were doing both before it and at the time, and 3rd Strike is essentially the epitome of that. It's pretty much why, 25 years later, 3rd Strike and (its soundtrack) still stands out as one of, if not THE, greatest of all time.
"Welcome to the World of street fighter" 🔥 The player select Chun-li stage, Dudley, Ryu stage, Akuma, A lot of great song for this Game Remenber the Dreamcast.
Well, I don't even know why am I here but I'm so glad you're able to appreciate the AMAZING soundtrack of 3S. Both arcade and this arranged soundtracks are masterpieces in my opinion since Hideki Okugawa and Infinite put so much love in genres like house, trip hop, drum'n'base, acid jazz, jazz, hip-hop all in a sweet soundtrack. Sadly you missed some cool parts of the soundtrack like the samba/batucada bit in The Longshoreman or the THIS IS A STUPID DOPE MIX in Your Blow My Mind (which is my favorite from this soundtrack). Check out some live band ensembles who put some live versions of these tracks like Jazzy NYC '99 and girl, they're gonna blow your mind! There's some real cool stuff out there for cover bands of this already awesome soundtrack. Glad I was able to stumble upon here and glad you enjoyed this soundtrack.
Ain't no way right when I was vibin to this hard ass ost, I thought of what your reaction would be and I come to this. W vid and best tracks are "Snowland" and "Killing Moon"
I recently had a Street Fighter 6 tournament, this was my first tournament after a really long time of not participating in one. The character select theme helped me a lot to focus and get me hyped up before each match, it really made me feel like I was about to have the fight of my life. I didn't win but it did wonders for me, and it ended up being my most listened song in my 2024 Spotify Wrapped 😁
YAY!!! Third Strike music is awesome!! In this vein, you might like Darkstalkers music (Vampire Savior, moreso) Street Fighter Alpha 2 I think is pretty iconic with its soundtrack. if you'd check out any King of Fighters soundtracks, KOF 96, man.
“Like honestly, play this shit in the club!” That’s definitely the plan one of these days! It’s not often you hear a DJ mixing VGM for clubs since it’s such a niche genre of music but with the right tunes and mixing, the dance floor would definitely get down to it! I’d love to definitely DJ some VGM tracks when the time comes. Great video nonetheless! Can’t wait to see which other OSTs you got planned for us to hear your reactions to!
Not sure what my algorithm thinks of me, but I’m a simple man. I love the Third Strike soundtrack [and Street Fighter in general], and you made a cool thumbnail. I feel violated I think.
Nice to meet you！I found out about your channel for the first time today. Street Fighter 3 Third Strike is my memorable game, so I'm glad you chose it！ Arcade video games from the late 1980s to the 2000s have a lot of great BGM. I hope you can tell me your impressions of those songs^_^
Thanks for reacting to Third Strike❤ Since you liked Buck Bumble there's a similar OST that has Drum&Bass and Acid Techno. Their name: Bomberman Hero💣😩❤️
Just seen your MvC2 and 3rd strike reactions, and I'm so stoked you're into these bangers man! While it feels like you're more into the Jazzy/Hip hop vibes, it also feels like you're into genre variations and people flexing their musical muscles/talents to produce different vibes within the same soundtrack. If you ever get around to the Killer Instinct (2013) soundtrack, I'd really be interested in your take--Season 1 and 2 are GODLIKE if you've never heard of Mick Gordon at all, and season 3 is pretty cool too though they switched musicians by then. They really did their homework to bring out the cultures, genre influences, and musical talents to really authenticate each character themes (they even used a human femur as a horn for the Skeleton/Pirate/Viking character). Please check it out if/when you're motivated, it's insane
15:41 the reason we're all here 21:20 my favorite song in the game 22:26 secret characters theme with a surprise appearance of your cat Yung and Yang's song is pretty dope, but still doesn't top the Goldeneye Pause Music. Also, what I like about Street Fighter 3, is when you finish a round, the next round is during sunset, if you get to a 3rd round, then the stage is during the night. Not only that, but with each round, the background music gets more and more remixed.
I relate very much to your appreciation for sexy bass and tasty chord progression 🤩 happy holidays Also the BSB (Bulbasaur Safety Brigade) is pleased with this update
YES! You lend your ear to an OST of a fighting game. SFIII is awesome. Just a quick tidbit, the build ups to the songs are placed at the start of the 2nd round to spike up the momentum of the fight which is a powerful way of hyping up the player’s experience. 2 more things. I can’t believe I never made the connection between SFIII and Knuckles 🤦♂️ You should definitely listen to the OST of R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 music. A racing game widely known for its soundtrack. I think it’s up your alley. IMO, “Pearl Blue Soul” and “Move Me” are to that game what Dudley’s theme is to SFIII. ✌️ 🎶 🎷
God, Third Strike has some of the greatest game music ever. I think everyone HATED this and MVC2's OSTs when they first came out, but they are certified bangers!! I'm glad they have they're amazing reputations now. I have them on in the background all the time! Glad you can always find those Sonic-esqe tones lol 😂
I grew up watching my father play fighting game in the arcades and at home, and till this day this ost is my fav. I now play fg with my friends all the time and I have always love 3rd strike as it’s the one game that has probably done the best “Street” style in a fighting game imo. Glad you enjoyed this ost, this game mean a lot to some people
Great video! I'm glad that you had the chance to listen to the Third Strike OST, which just might be the best fighting game score of all time. There was one big selection that was missing - the "Theme of Gill" which is the music for the last boss of 3rd Strike. I'm n9t sure why it was missing from the album, but it is fantastic. Also, the way the game was designed, each stage had three parts of every song, with each section growing in intensity. I know the you were probably tight on time, but for most of the tracks you listened to, you reached the second parts of most of the songs. Some of the third sections are incredible and if you check it out again in full on your own time, I hope you enjoy them. Last but not least, if you're taking suggestions for future OSTe to check out, SNK (another prominent Fighting Game developer in the 90's) had legendary scores for their games. The coolest thing about them, though, was that they often released Arranged OST for their arcade games. The Original OSTs were limited by the arcade boards they would use, but the Arranged OST were actual studio musicians playing the same tracks, which hit far harder than the OG versions. They would use the Arranged versions when they released their games on CD format as well. Some of the best ones are The King of Fighters '95, '96 & '98 for starters. The Arranged version of Real Bout Fatal Fury (or Real Bout Garou Densetsu in Japanese) is extra special as well ("Pandora no Hako yori Dai 1ban 'Sogu' - Jin Chonshu" is legendary). Thanks for reading and I'm glad to be a new sub here. Looking forward to what you check out next!
This was a fun video! I also absolutely love and adore video game music so much. I don't know if anyone else made this recommendation, but I thought the Shinobi III soundtrack was incredible. In any event though, I'm subscribed, and I look forward to more jamming out to classic video game OSTs! 🤘
Hey! Just found the channel. Glad you enjoyed the 3rd Strike OST. You may also want to check out the R4 (Ridge Racer Type 4) Soundtrack. It's one of my faves and notoriously beloved by fans of the series. Nothing quite hits like it does. Keep up the good work.
@@marquez1333 Ridge Racer 4 Soundtrack is absolute Video Game OST PEAK! I have a hard time choosing which is better Jet Set Radio Future or RR4, as best OST of all time.
So the playlist I looked at definitely skipped Urien and Gill, but I looked them up after!
Urien’s stage was not really my favorite, very fast-paced and a little too busy for my ears but still pretty cool.
Gill’s was awesome, loved the beat, chords-everything! Sorry I missed these two!
Uriens stage is garbage 😂 . Gills theme from 2nd impact is iconic
Also there's a live jazz band playing Alex's stage. I believe it's called J Music Ensemble. Def check them out. They cover tons of jazzy video game songs
I love kof OST
I have a List of Video game Music you should listen to
Killer Instinct 1 and 2
Capcom Vs SNK 2
Super Mario Odyssey
Street of Rage 1,2 and 4 skip 3 because that game sound track kinda sucks.
Castlevania Symphony of the Night.
Tekken 4 and Tekken Tag 1
Bomber Man Hero.

Wow that’s impressive!
I've watched the whole interview of him
I just know why you had to call out Lotus Juice like that
m.th-cam.com/video/pc-S5Un_geU/w-d-xo.html
Part of the interview about Infinite and 3rd Strike
I think he recently updated the track with new lyrics. They played it at a major recently in a montage
jazz + jungle + hiphop + sprites = top tier work of art
House too 😊
Also Drum and Base

Don't apologize for getting bass face, we all do it when a song is hitting just right.
Took a little TOO LONG to recommend this to me YT.
THATS WHAT TF IM SAYING
Glad you loved it!
As an old 3rd Strike player, I can vouch the music still holds up so phenomenally well after all this time and always leaves me wanting another match!
If I'm not mistaken, you're missing two songs here: Urien's Theme (Crazy Chili Dog) and Gill's Theme. Both are worth a listen!
Gills Theme is my fave!
Might aswell do Jet Set Radio OST next
jet set radio future also goes hard, evolving from Radio's OST
PLEASE
YES PLEASE 🙏
I perf the future ost more.

I think Tag would be right up her alley
As long as she doesn't go anywhere near Tekken 5-8.
Tekken may have morphed its musical style with the times, but it's never been bad.
Now you are ready for "Streets of Rage" series
100%

Street Fighter III Third Strike ost sounds like what I remember the 90s to be. And yup, just like knuckles.
The biggest rap crossover would be between Infinite and Hunnid P, my god that would be my dream
Third Strike was one of the first games that I actually started to pay attention to how a soundtrack was done. This ranks up there for me, personally, with Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3, and Guilty Gear.

This would be like comparing Lil Wayne of today to the Lil Wayne of The Carter era. SF6 quite possibly has the worst soundtrack of any mainline SF game.
@@willdiesel8431 sadly true, the good music is really good like the carnival and the win streak menu music but otherwise its just decent
So glad your channel your popped up in my recommendations, this is literally gold!

Hi Apple! Good on you for doing a reaction to this awesome game's soundtrack! One thing I wanted to note! At 6:54, you mention they didn't use real instruments. You were listening to the arranged soundtrack. The original and arranged sound VERY different. Crowded Street is one such song. If you listen to the original Jazzy NYC 99, you can for sure hear more bass. The only thing the arranged soundtrack has over the original is how they extend the song.
You also asked if a live band covered any songs at 15:05. J-Music and insaneintherainmusic both did covers of Jazzy NYC '99 and they're amazing!
If you want more Street Fighter III goodness, check out the 2nd Impact soundtrack!
SNOWLAND is PEAK. The midi sax, the breaks, its everything.
bro that song is perfect. the breaks they use in this game have never been so good literally perfection
you are so lucky, I would love to hear Jazzy NYC for the first time again
I haven't seen this type of reaction video. Awesome. Yeah the 3rd strike soundtrack is legendary at this point. My favorite one is the staff roll theme moving on. Yup I used to play that track whenever I finished things important like work, a project, etc. Best one is when I played this track on my headphones years ago after quitting an awful job. I walked through downtown with this beat bumping feeling such relief that I was finally done with that shitty daily grind. Man, those where the days.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this!
Brings me back to 1999-2000 and listening to the sound track while waiting for my turn to go in the arcades. My favorites were Alex’s/Ken Theme ‘99, Elena and Ibuki’s stage. I remember even losing the 2nd round on purpose to listen more of the music in Round 3!
Subbed! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I loved Jazzy NYC ever since I was a kid. Killing Moon is my favorite, though.
Your channel popped up in my feed after listening to some SF3 a few days ago. You're the first channel I've seen to have genuine reactions to music! Besides vibing, and clearly liking what you're hearing, your comments here and there about music structure are enjoyable!
Subbed!
This ost and second impacts are legendary. Please do second impact after!
Great video! The whole ethos of the Street Fighter 3 games were to kinda go against the grain so to speak and really do it's own thing compared to what other fighting games, Street Fighter included, were doing both before it and at the time, and 3rd Strike is essentially the epitome of that. It's pretty much why, 25 years later, 3rd Strike and (its soundtrack) still stands out as one of, if not THE, greatest of all time.
I don't remember the last time I pressed subscribe without debating about it. Excellent content. Third Strike is such a special soundtrack.
I like akuma theme. It's very smooth authentic😊. I like Elena with beats in my head also.
"Welcome to the World of street fighter" 🔥 The player select
Chun-li stage,
Dudley,
Ryu stage,
Akuma,
A lot of great song for this Game
Remenber the Dreamcast.

I've never seen your videos before but I just love seeing someone appreciate videogame OSTs so I'm definitely about to be all over your channel lolol
Earned yourself an immediate sub! Hahaha
Well, I don't even know why am I here but I'm so glad you're able to appreciate the AMAZING soundtrack of 3S. Both arcade and this arranged soundtracks are masterpieces in my opinion since Hideki Okugawa and Infinite put so much love in genres like house, trip hop, drum'n'base, acid jazz, jazz, hip-hop all in a sweet soundtrack. Sadly you missed some cool parts of the soundtrack like the samba/batucada bit in The Longshoreman or the THIS IS A STUPID DOPE MIX in Your Blow My Mind (which is my favorite from this soundtrack).
Check out some live band ensembles who put some live versions of these tracks like Jazzy NYC '99 and girl, they're gonna blow your mind! There's some real cool stuff out there for cover bands of this already awesome soundtrack.
Glad I was able to stumble upon here and glad you enjoyed this soundtrack.
Battleapple joining us in the FGC is a huge win
The Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike soundtrack will always be fire. The player select music is one of my ringtones.
Ain't no way right when I was vibin to this hard ass ost, I thought of what your reaction would be and I come to this. W vid and best tracks are "Snowland" and "Killing Moon"
Thanks, this reminded me of good times from my childhood 😭
subbed
There’s an extended version of the staff roll with another rap that is definitely worth listening to. I’m surprised the list didn’t have that one
I recently had a Street Fighter 6 tournament, this was my first tournament after a really long time of not participating in one. The character select theme helped me a lot to focus and get me hyped up before each match, it really made me feel like I was about to have the fight of my life. I didn't win but it did wonders for me, and it ended up being my most listened song in my 2024 Spotify Wrapped 😁
VGM on Spotify Wrapped is awesome 🙌🏻
YAY!!!
Third Strike music is awesome!!
In this vein, you might like Darkstalkers music (Vampire Savior, moreso)
Street Fighter Alpha 2 I think is pretty iconic with its soundtrack.
if you'd check out any King of Fighters soundtracks, KOF 96, man.
“Like honestly, play this shit in the club!”
That’s definitely the plan one of these days! It’s not often you hear a DJ mixing VGM for clubs since it’s such a niche genre of music but with the right tunes and mixing, the dance floor would definitely get down to it!
I’d love to definitely DJ some VGM tracks when the time comes. Great video nonetheless! Can’t wait to see which other OSTs you got planned for us to hear your reactions to!
The time capsule of video game DnB from the late 90's/early 00's is a niche I can never shake.
Not sure what my algorithm thinks of me, but I’m a simple man. I love the Third Strike soundtrack [and Street Fighter in general], and you made a cool thumbnail. I feel violated I think.
i cant tell whether to be disappointed that youve never heard this before or thankful that you enjoyed it as much as you did
Nice to meet you！I found out about your channel for the first time today.
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike is my memorable game, so I'm glad you chose it！
Arcade video games from the late 1980s to the 2000s have a lot of great BGM.
I hope you can tell me your impressions of those songs^_^
この時代に3rdの曲聞いてくれるのは日本人として嬉しいです！
Wow so happy to see you listening to this! Great stuff 😊
Thanks for reacting to Third Strike❤
Since you liked Buck Bumble there's a similar OST that has Drum&Bass and Acid Techno. Their name: Bomberman Hero💣😩❤️
I love the appreciation you have for this ost. You just....get it and that's awesome. Love the old school references as well.
We're gonna have to get a Tim Follin collection together for her. Plok, Timetrax, Solstice main theme, Pictionary, so many good ones.
Just seen your MvC2 and 3rd strike reactions, and I'm so stoked you're into these bangers man! While it feels like you're more into the Jazzy/Hip hop vibes, it also feels like you're into genre variations and people flexing their musical muscles/talents to produce different vibes within the same soundtrack. If you ever get around to the Killer Instinct (2013) soundtrack, I'd really be interested in your take--Season 1 and 2 are GODLIKE if you've never heard of Mick Gordon at all, and season 3 is pretty cool too though they switched musicians by then. They really did their homework to bring out the cultures, genre influences, and musical talents to really authenticate each character themes (they even used a human femur as a horn for the Skeleton/Pirate/Viking character). Please check it out if/when you're motivated, it's insane
15:41 the reason we're all here
21:20 my favorite song in the game
22:26 secret characters theme with a surprise appearance of your cat
Yung and Yang's song is pretty dope, but still doesn't top the Goldeneye Pause Music.
Also, what I like about Street Fighter 3, is when you finish a round, the next round is during sunset, if you get to a 3rd round, then the stage is during the night. Not only that, but with each round, the background music gets more and more remixed.
We here for the Dudley’s the main menu and character select and the validation that this is the best menu music lol
THE BEES IN MY HAIR
I relate very much to your appreciation for sexy bass and tasty chord progression 🤩 happy holidays
Also the BSB (Bulbasaur Safety Brigade) is pleased with this update
The game said "Select your Groove" and she said "This is my Groove".
YES! You lend your ear to an OST of a fighting game. SFIII is awesome. Just a quick tidbit, the build ups to the songs are placed at the start of the 2nd round to spike up the momentum of the fight which is a powerful way of hyping up the player’s experience.
2 more things.
I can’t believe I never made the connection between SFIII and Knuckles 🤦♂️
You should definitely listen to the OST of R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 music. A racing game widely known for its soundtrack. I think it’s up your alley.
IMO, “Pearl Blue Soul” and “Move Me” are to that game what Dudley’s theme is to SFIII. ✌️ 🎶 🎷
So glad my mom bought me R4 back in the day. That soundtrack SLAPS to this day. She'd definitely like some of the selections on there.
God, Third Strike has some of the greatest game music ever. I think everyone HATED this and MVC2's OSTs when they first came out, but they are certified bangers!! I'm glad they have they're amazing reputations now. I have them on in the background all the time!
Glad you can always find those Sonic-esqe tones lol 😂
I grew up watching my father play fighting game in the arcades and at home, and till this day this ost is my fav. I now play fg with my friends all the time and I have always love 3rd strike as it’s the one game that has probably done the best “Street” style in a fighting game imo. Glad you enjoyed this ost, this game mean a lot to some people
Great video! I'm glad that you had the chance to listen to the Third Strike OST, which just might be the best fighting game score of all time. There was one big selection that was missing - the "Theme of Gill" which is the music for the last boss of 3rd Strike. I'm n9t sure why it was missing from the album, but it is fantastic.
Also, the way the game was designed, each stage had three parts of every song, with each section growing in intensity. I know the you were probably tight on time, but for most of the tracks you listened to, you reached the second parts of most of the songs. Some of the third sections are incredible and if you check it out again in full on your own time, I hope you enjoy them.
Last but not least, if you're taking suggestions for future OSTe to check out, SNK (another prominent Fighting Game developer in the 90's) had legendary scores for their games. The coolest thing about them, though, was that they often released Arranged OST for their arcade games. The Original OSTs were limited by the arcade boards they would use, but the Arranged OST were actual studio musicians playing the same tracks, which hit far harder than the OG versions. They would use the Arranged versions when they released their games on CD format as well. Some of the best ones are The King of Fighters '95, '96 & '98 for starters. The Arranged version of Real Bout Fatal Fury (or Real Bout Garou Densetsu in Japanese) is extra special as well ("Pandora no Hako yori Dai 1ban 'Sogu' - Jin Chonshu" is legendary).
Thanks for reading and I'm glad to be a new sub here. Looking forward to what you check out next!
This was a fun video! I also absolutely love and adore video game music so much. I don't know if anyone else made this recommendation, but I thought the Shinobi III soundtrack was incredible. In any event though, I'm subscribed, and I look forward to more jamming out to classic video game OSTs! 🤘
Hey! Just found the channel. Glad you enjoyed the 3rd Strike OST. You may also want to check out the R4 (Ridge Racer Type 4) Soundtrack. It's one of my faves and notoriously beloved by fans of the series. Nothing quite hits like it does.
Keep up the good work.
@@marquez1333 Ridge Racer 4 Soundtrack is absolute Video Game OST PEAK! I have a hard time choosing which is better Jet Set Radio Future or RR4, as best OST of all time.
