Street Fighter Alpha 3 OST Crimson (Theme of Vega)

[@erickcastillo267]

The mask... at the angle he is holding it, makes the eye holes seem like the mask is looking at you.

[@thisismyusernameonyoutube]

Erick Castillo I see it! 😐😶

[@whogivesaphuck8193]

wonder if that was intentional?

[@MetalHeadRed954]

Yes!! 😳😳

[@DESTRAKON]

Can't unsee it

[@215Sage]

🥺🥺🥺

[@zeywop]

one touch i love in bengus’ art here is the way he uses vega’s hair behind the mask to create the illusion that the mask is side-eyeing vega. very fun little creepy detail

[@MrInuhanyou123]

Well its supposed to be side eyeing you the viewer but yes 😂

[@mattgroening8872]

My headcanon is that since he looks so much cooler with the mask on, it’s prob telling him “put me back on bruh 😭”.

[@legoc-3po845]

A really cool detail that i found is that Vega is the only one who appears looking directly at the camera in its character screen, while usually all the other characters are facing sideways

[@hunnerboi8561]

It's because Vega likes to look at beautiful people

[@Asylum_4]

"Fighting ugly opponents depresses me to no end."

[@christianm9253]

Then, He should say that to Akuma lol

[@vinesickle3383]

I was just fighting him yesterday and he said that line.

[@derrickderrick7191]

vega looks ugly in this one, actually hes not that beautiful that he self "proclaims" or handsome

[@jenn5628]

You may be right but I can't knock his confidence lol

[@legoc-3po845]

Nah there are uglier fighters, like Second Impact Urien for example

[@Kordro]

I think this theme fits Vega very well honestly, although it doesn't have the Spanish-inspired instruments in his other themes, this I feel hits closer to home to his character. He's a mentally ill, cold-blooded assassin with an obsession with beauty that stemmed from the grief and anger in childhood losing his mother by his "ugly" step-father murdering her. The instruments in this specific song just nails that insanity/delusional vibe perfectly, and after watching the SF4 ending of him striving to be immortal in an addition to eternal beauty I kind of wish Capcom went back to this type of theme for Vega.

[@PASTELXENON]

So it's not just me that thinks the main melody to have a more cold feeling

[@pichu4455]

I think this theme fith his personality and the sf2 theme fits his fighting style

[@realvirtuality9163]

EXACTLY

[@ragejinraver]

The song actually has the castanets in the background . That Flamenco Dancers use you can slightly hear them

[@beibeharry]

Yes, that Vega classic theme we all know fits what he shows to the world, his eccentric personality and tastes. But this theme, feels more like what's going on in his mind.

[@PlanetSulfur]

This song makes me want to climb cages and do backflips.

[@tottivhoa9972]

[@lunaris19]

Sounds like a theme from Darkstalkers. If Vega had demonic or vampire powers, he could fit right in that game!

[@TheBurningEngram]

dark hado vega

[@mikaelamonsterland]

he does like licking the blood that he cuts from people

[@thatkleinguy]

Well, in this game he's so top tier he's kind of a demon

[@FloreyXE]

His dark force move would just be the cage from his stage dropping so he could climb it.

[@RichardJamesMendoza]

The composer for SFA3 was apparently the same person who composed the music for Darkstalkers.

[@clarencegutsy7309]

I honestly like this theme a little more than his classic. It's mysterious, creepy, and has a rhythm to it that fits Vega's playstyle. It also fits well with his stage which is much more isolated and melancholic than the usual underground tavern. This theme always came off as more personal, this is Vega without the mask on.

[@shermanvermin76]

The four Shadaloo villains having these 'renames' actually suits them better, anyway; eg. the name 'Vega' is Spanish in origin.

[@Tonypikmin]

That's right!

[@devastator44]

Damn you have a point

[@bloodclawvega6243]

Yes Vega should have name kept as it is Spanish origin although Bison is an alternate for Tyson so the name is more suitable for Balrog.

[@ppincheperro666]

in fact, vega's actual name is Balrog Favio LaCerda :v

Not even a question.

[@shermanvermin76]

Yes, it's a lot better than his SFII theme.

[@Modeeus]

The ordinary Vega theme is a much better song but the SFA3 version is much more suitable for the game.

[@orlanzo2621]

@@Modeeus Disagree with that, lol. The Alpha 3 theme is definitely a better song than the old SF2 one.

[@tygravon]

It's tied with the variation of his theme in SF IV

[@derrickderrick7191]

sf2 is better than this one

[@pkmntrainerred4247]

Its my headcanon that whenever a match vs Vega starts, Vega hears his SF2 theme in his head and the other fighter starts hearing *this* theme.

[@geilor]

One of the best songs of Street Figher Alpha 3 and in my opinion the best Vega (Balrog) Theme.

True story. The original arcade version was planned by Takayuki Iwai (aka Anarchy Takapon) to have a custom CD-based sound system akin to the CPSIII that would give the tracks the heavy metal sound that's now only implied by these resultant MIDI versions. That being said, it's interesting that the soundtrack wasn't arranged for the console versions like the previous two games or 3rd Strike later on. Would've given MAX (aka Double Upper) or even Saikyo Dojo (Dreamcast) a little more sizzle.
