Evolution of Ryu's Theme from Street Fighter 2 | 1992 - 2021

[@simondelisle9310]

Ok, that intro and transition to the first theme was sick.

[@football-os1hg]

Facts

[@awesomewesboi]

Yea

[@jblasutavario9549]

Truth! It was magnificent! The transitions throughout the entire video!

[@absabs129]

Yup

[@ToiletPkay]

the transition from each gen was sick

[@agentdon1760]

Personally I think Smash has the best rendition of this theme. Maybe im just a sucker for Japanese sounding themes and it brings it along with it sounding retro.

[@Xalifyy]

I totally agree

[@WRILLI4M]

It fits him exactly because it sounds Japanese. However, the Suzaku Castle stage theme from SF5 is right there with it.

[@ChrisStriker]

It's not for nothing that the original composer of Street Fighter 2 made that song Only Yōko Shimomura knows what Ryu's and Vega's themes should sound like in Smash

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

My personal top 4 favorites version of Ryu's theme are: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (3DO) Street Fighter 4 Super Smash Bros Street Fighter 5 But the best in my opinion is Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (3DO) and Street Fighter 5 theme. Those are two epic versions that, in my opinion, define Ryu himself, as an ultimate warrior.

[@leonardoalves3942]

SF Alpha 2 (Arcade) Street Fighter 5 Super Smash Bros SF 4 (Vs Akuma)

[@themememaster7844]

I agree with this but I still think sf4s theme version is good at presenting the feeling of "oh yeah you know who he is"

[@ShadowYamoto]

Ryu's Street Fighter EX3 theme definitely tops them all. If you haven't heard it yet, be amazed.

[@HaggenKennedy]

I've been maining Ryu since 1992 (SF2). Like the character, the song has had its ups and downs, but I still can't get enough of the guy. Looking forward to what SF6 will bring. Because "the answer lies in the heart of battle." Let's go! 🥋

[@misterx5115]

I understand you. I've been maining Ryu since 1989

[@0pt1cd4k1d]

@@misterx5115 as ryu was the only playable character in SF1, lol

[@goldman77700]

@@0pt1cd4k1d Not if you had two controllers.

[@laeviga-sunstrider]

How do you feel about sf6 ryu, after the demos and betas? :D

[@HaggenKennedy]

@@laeviga-sunstrider That's a great question. So far, I feel like SF6 has the best, most well-rounded Ryu of all SF games. I think this is the best version of this character, and if you know what to do with him, he's a beast. I suppose all characters will be broken this first season (as they were in SFV's 1st season), but hopefully, they won't nerf him too badly in SF6 later on. But so far, he really is a fantastic character to play. Many options to choose from, very well-rounded, and can deal massive damage, and, most importantly: so FUN to play. If I'm being honest, I think the characters who will shine the most in SF6 are the grapplers, and I think Zangief will wreck everything in his path. But through the carnage, I will still be maining Ryu. I've been trying him out since the second beta was released, and he def. brought his A-game. Can't wait for the Open Beta to hit in just 2 days! "This will be a good fight!"

[@pasofinostudios6080]

I like how the music changes the more RAM the chips had

[@tristanchriesmon1056]

This is so amazingly put together well done👏👏👏👏

[@NazriB]

Lies again? American Education Bus Driver

[@SadikiStGeorgeangemon44]

his SF6 version might be my new favorite as it combines elements from Good Fighter, Kobu and his classic theme into one funky jam

[@GoldGuard]

In what ways? I thought it would was completely unique but maybe I missed something every time I listened to it.

[@WaelMahrouseh]

​@@GoldGuard It got some of that funky Jazz in some of the variations (Like Capcom vs SnK) and it's absoloute fire)

[@TheRDCG31]

My favourite is the SF II original. That Tune is epic!

[@岩-u8i]

本当にそう思いますね。 初期のRyuのテーマが格好良いのに段々…⤵️

[@HS-pu6mt]

my lord the transitions are amazing

[@antonio_carvalho]

Holy Hadouken! What a perfect collection of theme variations!

[@telczadar600]

Amazing video! Such a great concept perfectly executed 🔥

[@AndyTaken]

decades of fantastic remixes, then 6 come along...

[@nataliewilliams2308]

Am I the only one who thinks that SF4 Akuma remix is absolutely EPIC?

[@TheImaBrawler]

No, Ryu V.S Akuma is a very epic theme, but SFV is so much very epic.

[@Inaluogh]

Anything past SF2 era just sounds like they tried to do too much when the song's flow was already interesting enough.

[@_Nephaelim]

Alpha 1 & 2 are still my favorite Ryu theme. Both those soundtracks were amazing... dood!

[@cafenormal3944]

It's great, the only one you miss are the sf3 versions but the transitions are neat, it motivates you to train

[@LeeONardo]

Also missing "The road" from Alpha 3 and also Ryu's MVC1 theme (SF main theme), but this collection is based on his original theme and all it's variations.

[@zekkikun528]

I LOVE Street Fighter 6, do not get me wrong, but Viator does not come anywhere NEAR Ryu's SF2 theme This fits his character so much better

[@CodeBlue2001]

I guess the idea is that he can finally relax and simply enjoy the fight.

[@666blaziken]

And now the street fighter 6 theme will bring some huge mood whiplash

[@juanpabloorselli4515]

2:24 This sounds as the music in a menu screen of another game would. You could be editing a player in a sports game, customizing your car in a racing game, picking clothes for a Sim, etc.

[@jogglethattoggle4232]

Sounds VERY much like the Metriod Prime, title screen music.

[@CarlosFragozo28]

i love that you put Daigo gameplay in SF lV and V, the ultimate Ryu player

[@IvanSanchez-nm2zh]

X-Men Vs Street Fighter ❤

[@meublikomdz656]

Ryu For Ever 🔥💪

[@Matt_El_Comicologo84]

I would have loved if you've included the one from SF Assassin's Fist track, but this was absolutely awesome

[@alejandrocamberosrodriguez4222]

YES! I mean, this selection is really good (and the transitions! *chef's kiss*), but Patrick Gill's version just has this aura that pulls you in and makes you feel like you're actually training with Ryu.

[@FloAfree]

His SF5 is easily the most epic. PERIOD.

[@mrsimpleton4295]

Cool evolution my guy

[@TheDarkKnight80]

Street fighter has a sick soundtrack ost

[@bachkrain]

2000 - 2008 was a complete turn around, just surprised my eardrums like crazy

[@Not_F4LL3n]

No Teppen or Tatsunoko vs Capcom osts🤔

[@vegetal3285]

Magnifique, splendide 😁

[@oscaradolfosandovalrojas6237]

Amazing collection; however you're missing a couple of great renditions of this classic theme: 1) Ryu's theme from Tatsunoko VS Capcom OST (the Japanese version of the game from 2008) and 2) Ryu's theme from the Asura's Wrath DLC OST (2012).

[@SoySpy]

sf3 2nd impact solos honestly

[@ShadowYamoto]

My personal favorite is Ryu's SF EX3 theme, Rising Dragon. The SF characters themes in the EX series are too epic.

[@maxkredo725]

Very good transition and order choice really appreciate the music, too bad u didn't include the Ryu theme on Power ranger battle grid, it's pretty good xD

[@crashgameryt3727]

The Best themes for me Street figther 4 Street figther 2 Capcom vs Snk

[@SuperFusionAJ93]

There's another version of Ryu's theme in 5 but it's at the end of Story mode.

[@andreluizpaierbarroso8041]

I may be heavily critisized for that but... One the best versions of Street Fighter songs are on Super Smash Bros-Ultimate. On top of one of the best 3D renditions of Ruy and Ken Masters ever made!

[@Dcthetruth85]

Hard to believe i was 7 when this game came out, 38 now.

[@vegetamancalcajin7790]

Nada supera o clássico

[@kashdaniel3767]

Respect for an Epic Share guys 1💓

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

So many iterations, so many to choose from.

[@abdulmuhaimin4666]

Should've added street fighter ex plus alpha themes as well

[@Mitsui14.]

Sin duda alguna el mejor tema es el del año 1992… Un clásico!

[@splinter1psi99]

Probably could have included his SF4 Evil Ryu theme as it basically the same "go flying through the air" theme as all these, just corrupted by akuma's theme.

[@starsaber077]

The very best is xmen vs street fighter then you all can choose second picks. I mean this one has the combative spirit and calmness of Ryu and is more loyal to the original as it is an upgraded version of it.

[@aliiaygun]

2:57 actually, this song is when you fight against Ryu, playing as Akuma (in "fight your rival" battle)

[@valiantcorgi5162]

WHERE'S THE DISCO FUNK PC VERSION?!?!?!?!?!?

[@enzorossi5917]

fighting games Icon , Capcom main character forever ❤

[@rexcolt9742]

Weird to see those smiling Ryus at the sides of the screen

[@fbomb3035]

Damn that transition

[@Instrulnomical]

0:15 In My Opinion, SNES Street Fighter II Ryu Theme Is The Best. This Gets Me Hyped Up For Literally ANYTHING! 0:59 Oooo That Street Fighter Alpha Ryu’s Theme Got That Good FUNK Goin Though! 2:10 X-Men Vs Street Fighter Version Sounds Pretty Good Too

[@PanchoTheSneaky]

Quite honestly, nothing beats the original theme. To me at least.

[@SpiderMan2012channel]

What about Ultra Street Fighter 2 on Switch?

[@hv2268]

What about it?

[@jesusfranco]

And now he have the funky garbage they shit on Street Fighter VI

[@MatheusHenrique-bp2po]

[@eklypse180]

What happened to SF Alpha 2 and 3? SF Alpha 3 had the biggest and most vibrant roster.

[@dbkai75]

Ruy's thème si not a remixed one from SF2... at least, alpha 3(bust still, an awesome theme)

[@karakartal1059]

My favorite player 👊

[@ricardorodrigues2656]

Nice transition between themes, but I'd like to point out you missed the namco x capcom and project x zone versions.

[@themememaster7844]

My personal favorite is between sf4 smash bros and sfv because they each show what he means in multiple ways Sf4: oh yeah you know who it is, the legend Smash bros: welcoming the master martial artist to our crossover Sfv: The journey has taken many paths and trials but this is the ultimate victory against the satsui no hado.

[@stephencook7337]

You forgot the alternate themes, as in SFZ(A)3, MSHVSF, SF3/2nd Impact and 3rd Strike and maybe even SFEX (I didn’t play that series so I don’t know) Like them or not, they were Ryu themes and they were all really good.

[@lonely90ification]

My personal favourite,ryu theme from teppen

[@jonatanmaikelcharles8381]

street fighter vs xmen the best!

[@Snopoke]

they just changed his theme for street fighter 6 :( why couldn't they just remix it like they normally do?

[@shannonjones8877]

It's literally been 30 years. Pretty good time to go with something new. His old theme plays in the background of his new theme anyway.

[@xxx_nightcorepro_xxx]

clearly you haven’t played sf3

[@OhNoTheFace]

Had to make everyone's music suck in that game besides Gief

[@RellyAensland]

one track missed on marvel vs. capcom one. 🤔😅

[@f.nation3437]

Yoko Shimomura and Isao Abe

[@TheBattleMaster100]

Sick mashup!

Soke of ryus themes are missing

[@VaffReverie]

why its not put by release date order? evolution right?

[@wickedtwister186]

sf4 ryu's theme when you fight akuma is just best

[@leonhunter1839]

The 1st one 1987 is missing
