How Yoko Shimomura Created an Iconic Musical View Of The World in Street Fighter II

[@nebularain3338]

Yoko Shimomura is my biggest influence as a musician. I spent hours listening to the Street Fighter II music as a boy, and it gave me a sense of melody that I otherwise wouldn't have.

People will say this is cap. Me I believe you because I feel the same exact way!

This woman has something different, very impressive what she did with ST2

I was today years old when I learned that Yoko Shimomura was the composer for Street Fighter II.

[@MohamedAkhbar]

Amazing composer. She brought alot of childhood memories on.

[@GattoriSancho]

I listen to the SF2 music almost everyday.

[@fightfannerd2078]

amazing woman

[@RenaudBAI]

Highly surprised by Canipa's voice haha, nice video ! Need to check this channel, it seems quite new and cool.

[@SMCwasTaken]

This woman is legendary, she's actually my favorite artist of all time, I was listening to pure odio from live a live and I can't believe a woman made it I really hope modern feminists don't use her for their propaganda

[@XRockgirl]

nice video! Just found out about her

[@matty6878]

wasn't Ken's theme lifted from the Top Gun soundtrack, the one that Cheap Trick did? anyway, iirc, she made the music hoping the themes would go to the right character 'cause a producer had to make the final decision but she said she was glad it all turned out alright. i didn't know she composed for SE. i honestly think her music with capcom were legendary but im glad she got to join a company where she could be happy with orchestration. i can only imagine what a game like MonHun would sound like if she stayed though.

[@IlokanoWarrior]

she states she took the beginning of that top gun song

[@Aelcyx]

Travelers by The Square sounds like Guile's theme. Sister Marian on the same album, Adventures, influenced the iconic Super Mario Bros. theme.

[@OmegaRedEX]

She mentioned that she was subconsciously inspired by Mighty Wings (Top Gun) after watching the movie at the time, but, it wasn’t intentional.

[@rfmerrill]

Capcom shot themselves in the foot with office politics. She asked to transfer to the console division so that she could work on the Breath of Fire series. She was denied the transfer, so she quit. Imagine how well that could have gone if her request had been granted!

[@sfk13]

I love sf2 ost.

[@hori83]

There is no comeback without the Guile theme

[@1Flyingfist]

I just Want the sheet music for the ryu stage. Everything is either Guile or Ken 😵

[@JotaP1n]

Only respects for the japanese woman who composed the real USA anthem.
