Street Fighter 6 Ed's Theme - König oder Feigling

[@VibeFGC]

Quick Trivia from a German: If you would have told me that Blumio of all people would work on a Street Fighter Song in the future, I would have called you insane! Hearing him on this track is an absolutely pleasant surprise. He's a German-Japanese Rapper who has been fairly successful & widely known for his style of Concious Rap, presented on a bunch of singles and albums that wittily tackled social problems & got released around the beginning of the 2010s. After that, he pretty much went under the radar, reaching nostalgia status for many people as time went by.

[@GypsyEyez_]

Frrrr I remeber listening to his stuff when I was super young. I'm a adult now and i still remover his songs. A huge surprise!!

[@clairemadeinheaven]

Vibe can you translate the song for us please

[@qwerttzizzi]

Same here. I used to listen to his songs. But not in 100 years did I expect him on Street Fighter. So happy for him!

[@GinkgoPete]

Blumio is a name i only heard for his few hits and then making "rapnews". Great choice for a theme but 100% not on my SF6 bingo card lol

[@DAntonio585Gaming]

Ayeeee, I appreciate the backstory. Helps me appreciate the track even more from another's perspective. Thanks!

[@zanpakutoman4225]

@@ursmarrings27 I think it's calling himself out. He wants to be a strong leader, for the members of Neo Shadaloo who he helped save. But, he doesn't know how or what he needs to do. Although, it's not like I understand the lyrics, so I could be way off.

[@KCfusion_]

⁠@kasaopressley7223 True chad theme for a true boxer 🗿✌🏻✊🏻🔥🔥🔥

[@kiwin.2338]

The lyrics are kinda about him being a fighter and not giving up despite people wanting him down and awaiting his fall. It's about always choosing to be the king instead of a coward. The song is kinda a message to his old self, who he's surpassed. Yes I'm German haha (it's a very vague summary and the actual translated lyrics - in English - are down in the comments too as I just saw)

[@Shoreux]

Lyrics in english: I am not alone, yet I feel lonely I'm zero point zero - in harmony with my feelings I long for success, yet fear failure I dance at the party, but deep down I'd rather drive home Ecstatic, then deeply saddened I'd like to have sunshine, but the moon suffices Just because I have excellent verses doesn't mean my heart doesn't feel hollow And honestly, I don't know where it comes from Even in broad daylight, everything seems blurry to me As if someone had taken the core out of me I've been swimming through this deep black sea for too long I am mentally unstable, I feel like a freak I'm not fighting against the world, but against myself I'm seized by this cold, empty feeling after a victory No matter what I achieve, it will never be enough But I keep fighting, my heart is my guide The self-doubter in me - my constant companion But I keep living - quitting is not an option I fight my own demons and ascend the throne It runs like a thread through my life Great deeds, few words Because death awaits everyone Must confront raw fear My heart races, memories are painful But what doesn't kill me makes me stronger Feel the power within me, call it nuclear power And the force that pulls me down, gravity Inhale, exhale No turning back, only straight ahead The onlookers stand at the garden fence "When will his house of cards collapse?" The pressure rises - Lungs ask when the air comes Blood, sweat, and tears shimmer softly in the moonlight Don't even need a second, just a fraction Don't believe in good or evil, who is truly blameless? So focused - see everything in slow motion Haters look like ants from up here Break them down into protons - kick them in a high arc Through the galaxy, back onto the concrete slabs of reality After a short streak of luck come setbacks Because so many want to see you fall like hyenas They don't dare to dream - they rob you of your joy They have their lives in front of their eyes every day, how they waste them But not for a day would I trade with these people They feel pathetic, yes, even if they deny it Laugh on, I have a dream that means something to me Come on, kid, look into my eyes - do you see them shine? Bling bling - I follow my instinct So call me the kingpin - carry gold within me Your motto is lose-lose - my motto is win-win They called me a little loser, idiot, and midget While they slept, I kept training Write on paper - everything that's boiling inside, no time to lose I've died once because life showed you the sunny side and then some shit happens again But the street fighter in me wants to keep marching Maybe I'll get lost occasionally on the long journey He really has no manners, maybe they're prettier, bigger, richer But in being myself, none of them stands up to me Ohoo and I'm not at the end yet Screw the guy with the scythe, tell him to cancel his plans Don't wait any longer for gifts, I'm on the verge of turning the tide And now they're raising their hands for the living legend I was the taciturn choir boy - they called me a lab rat I belonged nowhere, a passenger without a boarding pass I sold mixtapes out of my gym bag Click click, paper and pen became a murder weapon In every soul there's a king and a coward You have to decide, are you a lion or a pig today Will I free myself from the constraints within me until I'm free or will I listen to the choirs that only complain, doubt me And yes, success naturally requires timing but when the chance arrives, I swear I'm ready I visualize how I kill and attack How I spit and massacre and then roar like a Viking Let go of the traumas now, they mocked me as a child But I let go, I'm not angry with them anymore, I forgive them Only in battle do I make them cry terribly Like a sharp katana, you feel the words penetrate you This is a message to my former self The future is the big fear, but please don't be afraid Each of their words, it stings and burdens you But rest assured, their light will soon go out shortly And sure, I'm afraid, the thought of it failing tightens my whole mind So I don't wait long - because I grow from it I broke through this wall and I start the fight!

[@TinyZu]

You can tell they put a lot of effort into the lyrics. The word choice feels natural, including the occasional use of casual English which is common enough that it doesn't look out of place. I also like that they tell a story of how Ed grew as a person, overcame frustrations, understood people's motivations, learned to forgive, figured out what he wanted to do, holding on to memories of his past as a reminder that the key is to keep moving forward, going so far as to encourage others to believe in themselves in the same way. The sum of its parts isn't complex, but that's exactly why it's so effective.

[@StubenhockerElite]

My man, the world of german rap is your oyster

[@LightBringer666]

Even in broad daylight everything is blurry As if someone took out my core I've been swimming in this deep black sea too long Im psychologically unstable, feel like a freak Im not waging war against the world, but myself This cold empty feeling, wanting victory, is taking a hold of me No matter what I'll achieve, it'll never be enough But i keep on fighting, with my heart as a guide My constant self doubt as my trusty companion (my personal favourite lyric btw) But i keep on living - stopping isn't an option Fight your inner demons and claim the throne Its dragging through my life like a red string Big actions, less talking Because death awaits us all I Have to step up to that fear My heart's racing - painful memories But what doesn't kill me makes me stronger Sense the power in myself - call it my core strength And the power pulling me down - gravity Breathe in - breathe out No going back, only straight and forward The gawkers standing over by the fence When will his _house of cards_ collapse? (he's probably talking bout JP) The pressure's building up, lungs asking where the air went Blood sweat and tears are silently shimmering under the moonlight Wont even need a second - not even a fraction Don't believe in good or bad, who is without guilt? So focused, seeing everything in slow motion Haters, looking like ants from up here Splitting them into protons - kicking them in a wide arc Through the galaxy, back to the cold hard ground called reality After a short lucky streak - consequences will follow Because so many want to see you fall, like hyenas (lion king reference? Maybe?) They won't dare to dream, trying to rob you of your happiness Their lives are flashing before their eyes, as they are wasting it (another personal favourite) But i wouldn't even trade ONE DAY with these people They're feeling ashamed, even if they're denying it Go on, Laugh at me, but I have a dream that means something to me Look into my eyes, see how they're glowing? Bling Bling! - following my instincts Call me kingpin because im carrying gold inside me Your motto is: go! go! My motto is: win! win! They called me: little failure, fool and tiny While they were sleeping, i was training Writing down everything raging inside me, no time to loose I've died before because, after life shows you it's sunny side, shit goes downhill again But the Street Fighter in me, wants to keep moving Maybe, on this long journey, he'll get lost sometimes He doesn't have any manners. Maybe they're larger, prettier, wealthier But no one's better at being me OHOHOOO - and im not finished yet *FUCK* that guy with the scythe, tell him to cancel his plans (DDAAAAAAAMNNNN) Done waiting for presents - im at the turning point And now they're raising their hands for the LIVING _LEGEND_ (SOMEONE CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, ED SPITTING 🔥) Was the quiet choir boy, was called a lab rat Never fit anywhere, passenger without a boarding pass (a reference to the teaser trailer subway system) I sold mixtapees out my gym bag *Click click* Pen and paper were my murder weapons Every soul has *a King and a Coward* (its the song title!) It's your choice, are you today's lion or piggy? Will I free myself from the constraints within me until I am free ,or will I listen to the Choir, nagging me, doubting me? And yes, timing is key to success And i swear as soon as the chance presents itself, I'll be ready I visualize, I kill and attack I massacre, until i roar like a Viking Let go of your trauma, it used mocked me as a kid But I let go, I wasn't angry, and even forgave it (holy shit, even the translation on this one rhymes/goes hard) Only in battle do I make it cry You feel the words penetrate you like a sharp katana This is a message to an earlier me The future really frightens you but please don't be scared Every one of their words sting and it's a burden for you But take solace in the Fact that their light will soon extinguish (.....😶) And of course I am scared, the thought of losing is cramping my brain That's why I can't wait, I grow because of it I'll break through this wall and start the Fight." Holy SHIT this song is *AMAZING.* German songs never really translate well, wich is why any non German speakers might disagree with me, but as a German, it's an HONOR having the only character theme in the game with Lyrics be THIS *_FIRE 🔥_* and also be in our language.

Has to be one of the best SF character theme. Never knew ED’s trailer would make me love german rap this much

[@VyseOnYT]

My guesses Intro - 0:00 Round 1 - 0:13 Low Health - 1:15 Round Transition - 1:57 Round 2 - 2:05 Round 3 - 3:05 This one is REALLY hard to guess😂

[@rantayo4067]

Low health will be so cool in intense moments, specially if they allow it in tournaments 😭

[@unB4nned]

This is actually a pretty good guess, I hope they actually go with this format.

[@apophis7712]

Looks like you were 100% correct A+

Here is my german translation of: "King or Coward" - Ed's theme I aint alone but i'm feeling lonely I'm 0.0 in tune with my feelings I long for success but I i'm scared of failing I'm dancin' at the party, tho I honestly wanna go home Exulting to the heavens, saddened to death I'd love to get some sun but the moon will suffice Just 'cause i got excellent bars don't mean my heart don't feel hollow And i honestly don't know where this is coming from but Even in broad daylight my vision is blurry As if someone had taken my core at some point I've been swimmin' too long in this in this jet black see I'm mentally unstable, I feel like a freak Not against the world, but against myself for I wage war It grabs a hold of me - this cold and empty feeling after a win No matter what I'll achieve, it'll never be enough But I keep on fighting, my heart's like a guide The self-doubter in me is my constant companion But i live on, quitting is not an option Fight my own demons and ascend to the throne It runs like a red thread through my life Big deeds, little talk 'Cause the death awaits all Gotta face the raw fear My heart's racing - painful memories But what doesn't kill me makes me stronger Feel the power within, call it corepower * And the power that drags me down - gravity Breathing in - breathing out No turnin' back - just ahead The gawkers standing at the garden fence When will his house of cards fall appart? The pressure's rising - lungs ask where the airs at Blood sweat and tears, shining under the moonlight Don't even need a second, just a fraction Don't believe in good or bad, who's even free of blame? So focused, see everything in slow motion Haters lookin' like ants from up hear Break them down into protons - send 'em flyin' Thru the galaxy, back to the concrete floor of facts After a stroke of luck, followed by setbacks Cause so many wanna see you fall like hyenas They don't dare to dream - stealing your joy They see how they waste their lives every day Not even one day would i trade with those people They feel pathetic, yeah even if they deny it Feel free to laugh, but i got dream that means a lot to me Go on boy, look me in the eyes - u see the shine? Bling Bling, i follow my instincts So call me the Kingpin, i got gold inside o' me Your motto is Lose Lose - my motto is Win Win They called me little failure, idiot and tiny While they were sleeping i kept on training Write on paper - everything that's boiling inside me, no time to waste Alright died once - 'cause life only shows you the bright side And some shit happens again But the street fighter in me - wants to march on Maybe I'll get lost every now and then on my long journey He's really got no manners - maybe they're prettier, bigger snd stronger But in terms of being myself no one can stand up to me Ooh ooh - and i'm still not at the end Don't give a shir about the little guy with the scythe - tell him "cancel your plans" Won't wait any longer for gifts - i'm just qbout to reach the turning point And now they're raising their hands for the living legend I was the taciturn choir boy - they called me a lab rat I didn't fit in anywhere, passenger without a boarding pass I sold mixtapes outta my gym bag Click Click paper and pen where turned into murder weapons In every soul lies and king and a coward You gotta decide, are you a lion or pig today Will I rid myself from the constraints within me until I'm free Or do I listen to the choirs that just doubt me and complain And yeah, part of the success is of course timing But if I already get the chance I swear i'll be ready I visualize how i kill and attack How i spit and massacre and then roar like a viking Leave the trauma behind, they used to mock me as a child But I detached myself, I am no longer mad, I even forgive 'em But in battle i'll make 'em cry like a baby Like sharp katana, you feel the words sinking into your skin This is a message to my previous self The future may be frightning but please don't be scared Every single one of their words stings and is a burden to you But be assured that their fire will soon go out And sure, i'm scared, the thought of Failing cramps my whole mind That's why i'm not waiting any longer - 'cause i grow stronger from it Ich broke thru that wall and i start the fight! * Corepower is referring to the power from Ed's "core" but is also the german name for nuclear power (Kernkraft), so it's a wordplay Damn...that was a lot of lyrics... It's 2 am here, so please excuse any spelling mistakes you might notice :)

[@SirHaren]

Could be one of the best themes of SF6

[@loneswordsman295]

King or Coward ... quite the title for such banger.

[@saahilmatthews3050]

I found my favorite character - Ed's aura and screen presence is superb!!!

[@SlaineReigns]

I dont understand anything since im not German but this song speaks to me for some reason. I really love Ed's theme this time around! This is probably my fav theme now in the game when Ed releases.

[@jamilbush9648]

Man that opening intro beat is sick asf🔥🔥💯nothing like like going to a final round hearing that last part and landing a big punishment counter into CA!! 👊🏾

[@MrTheil]

Added this to my workout playlist. One of the best decisions I’ve made.

[@CountOfMonteCristo_]

Street Fighter 6 yet again kicks it out of the park with another fantastic character theme, you guys never miss when it comes to music.

[@AlekOmega]

"Let's go!, ring the bell!"

[@paigeepler]

I love singing along with the part at the end, because it makes it sound like Falke is backing him up :)

[@soulfulfool]

Capcom really is hitting the spot with SF6 from the beginning, now this high quality theme 👑

[@Zerlot]

Capcom had no business creating a track that went this hard. I have full confidence on how nice the tracks for future characters will be!

[@GDExodus]

I have no idea what the hell he's saying, but from the sounds of it, he was spitting. Almost makes me want to learn German.

[@sidekickspam7574]

They are taking inspiration from DMC 5 with fully fleshed out character themes that play during the action pretty cool.

[@axelhunter321]

Lyrics (English): I am not alone, but I feel lonely I'm zero point zero - in harmony with my feelings I long for success, but fear failure I dance at the party, but I'd actually like to go home Cheering sky high, saddened to death I would like the sun, but the moon is enough Just because I have excellent verses at my disposal Doesn't mean my heart doesn't feel hollow And l honestly don't know myself where it comes from Even in broad daylight, l see everything very blurred As if the core had been taken out of me at some point I have swim too long through this deep black sea I am mentally unstable, I feel like a freak I'm not at war with the world but with myself I'm gripped by this cold, empty feeling after a victory No matter what I achieve, it will never be enough But I fight on - my heart is my guide The self-doubter in me - my constant companion But I live on - quitting is not an option Fight your own demons and ascend the throne It runs like a red thread through my life Great deeds, little talk Because - death awaits everyone Must face the - raw fear My heart races with painful memories But what doesn't kill me makes me stronger Feel the power inside me, call it core power And the force that pulls me down - gravity Breathe in - breathe out No going back - only straight ahead The gawkers stand at the garden fence When will his house of cards collapse? The pressure rises - lungs ask where the air is Blood, sweat, and tears shimmer softly in the moonlight Need - not even a second, just a fraction Believe - not in good or evil, who is guilt-free? So focused - see everything in Slow Motion Haters look like ants from up here Break them up into protons - kick them in a high arc Through the galaxy back to the concrete floor of facts After a short streak of luck - the setbacks follow Because so many want to see you fall like hyenas They don't dare to dream - rob you of your joy They see their lives wasted every day But l wouldn't swap places with these people for even one day They feel pathetic, even if they deny it Laugh it up, I have a dream that means something to me Come on, boy, look into my eyes - do you see them shining? Bling bling - I follow my instinct So call me the Kingpin - wear gold inside me Your motto is Lose-Lose - my motto is Win-Win They called me a little loser, a sucker and pipsqueak While they slept, I kept practicing Write on paper - everything that is boiling inside, no time to lose I've already died once because life shows you the sunny side and some shit happens again But the Street Fighter in me - wants to march on Maybe I'll get lost - now and then on the long journey He really has no manners - maybe they are nicer, bigger, richer But when it comes to being me, no one stands up to me Ohohooo - And I'm not at the end yet Shake the little man with the scythe, tell him cancel his plans Don't wait any longer for presents, I'm about to turn around And now you raise your hands for the living legend Was the taciturn choirboy - they called me a lab rat Didn't belong anywhere, passenger without a boarding pass I sold mixtapes from my sports bag Click click paper and pen became a murder weapons There's a king and a coward in every soul You have to decide, are you a lion or a piggy today Will I free myself from the constraints within me until I am free Or will I listen to the choirs who only nag and doubt me And yes, of course, timing is part of the success But if the opportunity arises yes l swear l'm ready I visualize how I kill and attack How I spit and massacre and then roar like a Viking Let go of the traumas now, they mocked me as a soldier But I let go, I am no longer angry with them, I forgive them Only in battle do I make them cry terribly Like a sharp katana you feel the words penetrate you This is a message to my former self The future scares you, but please don't be afraid Their every word stings and is a burden for you But be sure that their light will soon be extinguished And of course, I'm scared, the thought of it To fail cramps my whole mind That's why I don't wait long - because I grow from it I broke through this wall and I start the fight!

[@rundown132]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE YOU RELEASED THE TRAILER

[@CarlosGabrielRVT]

a song that packs a lot of emotion in it. Fits Ed a lot.

[@BabaYa9a]

No wonder this theme has 1 million views already

[@mattduncan3869]

Most of SF6's music hasn't really done it for me, but this track here is really something.

[@dforman4770]

Don’t get me wrong. I fuckn love Luke as a character. His look and personality has vastly improved in sf6. But if anyone should be the new lead character it’s definitely Ed. He was Trained by Balrog, one the OG Sf characters. He’s connected to the biggest big bad of street fighter. It’s hinted that he’s struggling to to not lose himself to his power and become like Bison (Much like Ryus struggles with the dark Hadou and Akuma). On top of that, his appearance and fighting style just SCREAMS protagonist lol. I genuinely love Luke (seriously, I love how he became a meme god lol) but he feels more like a super likable supporting character. Ed just has more groundwork laid to be the lead than Luke does

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

Yeah Ed story arc actually a lot more interesting than Luke. Maybe for SF 7 we can get Ed as the new lead?

[@radicalpokemaniacs]

Honestly even if Luke isn't the protagonist in SF7, I feel like he'd be a great rival to him, basically becoming his Ken. I know Jamie exists but Luke and Ed's win quotes honestly give off a older/younger brother vibe to me and they might be able to explore that in the future

[@gracekd92]

Ed is true new protagonist street fighter😊😊

[@Zedrapazia]

Agreed! Plus, it'd be nice that for once the German character is not an antagonist.

[@diegodasilva1086]

I need this in spotify plz

[@Mediumexe]

Man this song is fireee! thank you for releasing it!

[@Casomyro1983]

1 Million views in 2 months. this shows clearly how awesome it is. need this on spotify real bad

[@DevilRising]

SF6 OST stays goating! Gonna bump this one in the ride.

[@Clash1138]

Blumi in nem Streetfighter Soundtrack, is das geil

[@DriveCancelDC]

Can't believe they made Ed actually cool. Great theme and very happy they gave him regular commands instead of just button presses.

[@victoriabell9546]

Been waiting for this since Ed's reveal trailer! This goes hard!!!

[@ETG715]

This theme is awesome I love the lyrics can't wait to hear this in the game

[@ripamoramee14]

Hell yes! Straight into my workout playlist. More fighting games should make the characters theme lyrics in their own language. This and Kim Wu’s theme are my favorite examples

[@nickmeeussen3000]

i only recently discovered that german and rapping goes great togheter so it's really fun to see that my favorite street fighter character got that super treatment

[@talys2082]

First one with lyrics! I like it

[@LycanDreams9159]

All of the songs should have lyrics imo. The ones with lyrics Kimberly lvl 3 and this one are some of the best in the game

[@JoutaiSasuLover]

​@@LycanDreams9159Reminds me of Gulity Gear Strive's character themes which all of them have lyrics.

[@Jairjax]

@@JoutaiSasuLover Strives themes are on a dif level from like 90% of fighting games imo. They went so hard, and I love it

[@OtaniNoAsagi]

Second. Kimberly's lvl 3 theme has lyrics. You only get the lyric version apparently in a mirror match when both Kim's use their lvl 3s

[@ages444]

I don't know why, but I was really hooked to sf6. I never really got into street fighter as a whole, but sf6 had def jam fight for new York presentation all over it. Ed’s theme just supports that even more for me and I'm all for it👍🔥

[@sporetv57]

For all of the people who called Ed boring, you better start apologizing RIGHT NOW.

[@deviljinmishima]

no

[@espurrseyes42]

@@deviljinmishima yes

[@jml6263]

As a certified Ed fan since 5 it’s totally fine if people don’t like him still but his glow up has been insane and you just love to see the boy winning 🎉

[@envystxx]

i always believed in ed.

[@versatilelord8893]

Fuck those ppl. Ed was always dope. They’ll call Ed boring but will turn around and say Lucia, falke, menat and Laura or kage were “cool” when they were some of the lamest newcomers introduced

[@kaiserbts8007]

Ed has basically become a completely new character for this game, and that's awesome to see

[@blueperseverance3912]

I have put the gameplay trailer on repeat since it dropped to hear his theme! Glad to finally hear it in full.

[@Type06_]

This theme is GOATED
