Street Fighter EX Plus @ OST God Hands (Theme of Akuma)

i hope you enjoy

[@KnottsBear-yTalesPreserved]

As a Devil May Cry fan. I recognize some of the samples used in this track. And this was years before DMC 1 came out ;)

[@CrimsonHybrid]

Hahah same! I was working and had a different vid playing in the background that was a compilation of all the Shun-Goku-Satsus and SF EX started playing. I looked up from my work and just stared at the screen for about 2 seconds, then pressed

[@ketsuban_jpg]

@@CrimsonHybrid I remember hearing this song before, but I just came from that exact video after being reminded of how similar the two are.

[@Dasyati]

As a Monster Truck Madness fan I also recognize some of the samples used in this track

[@jettlucashayes8508]

Also recognise some from Tokyo extreme racer 0

[@splitjawjanitor5369]

It's not even the only time it's happened with Akuma. The theme for Akuma/Rugal's stage in Capcom vs SNK 2 (the rainy one, not the burning version used for Shin Akuma/God Rugal) shares samples with the sewer theme from DMC1.

[@shaun_rambaran]

It feels like an immense unstoppable force of crushing power just marching and marching and marching toward you. This, 'The Flame', and 'Killing Moon' are my favourite Gouki / Akuma themes. 'The Flame' is like your heart beating up in your throat out of fear, while 'Killing Moon' is just the sheer scrambling panic one feels in battle against him.

[@edifreitas6567]

Feel the Cool and Groan from SF alpha 3 are very good too and are my favourite just like God Hands

[@Jugdjay]

Akuma's "Come at me bro" face

[@TangyLimes]

Until he got smoked by Kairi apparently

[@OmegaRedEX]

@@TangyLimes He never got smoked by Kairi. They only had a heated battle. Garuda was the one that gave him a run for his money since he was the embodiment of the Satsui no Hado. Akuma knew there was no point in fighting him and backed out.

[@DEUCE2CON]

This has to be my favorite Akuma theme because it sounds badass and it perfectly fits Akuma, and plus this theme just screams, “Get ready to rage and break your controller, legend.”

[@SuperDroid1984]

hmmmmmm mmmmmmm!

[@aggressiveattitudeera887]

Gouki in Tekken 2.

[@raz-al-baddez]

天 Messatsu!! 天

[@Yamazaki44]

Sounds like DMC Dante's first battle theme

[@jojijoestar7233]

Lock and Load

[@lucascarvalhor94]

Best Akuma's theme.

[@OniMurasame]

That would be the 3DO version of Akuma in SSF2T

[@sour3000]

Easily💯

[@javiercruz9330]

yes it is

[@nakam1chi]

What about Feel the Cool?

[@aprettyfunnyperson4516]

SFxT Akuma theme is on another level

[@lapislazul5975]

01:23 perfectly illustrates the battle between pure rage and inner enlightenment

[@Ioria8M]

Still best theme for Akuma/Gouki in the 2024 at release of character in Street Fighter 6

[@321Tdog]

Better than his SF6 theme at least, but nothing beats Killing moon

[@forceedge5203]

This theme is so badass

[@nanabinaruto71546]

That drawing goes extra hard

[@BradTheDead]

ultra underrated theme

[@greggorybrown8048]

Akuma knows where all the good food is.

[@sterlingattaway5225]

What the fuck 😂

[@Jed-Rix]

I’d say this game’s soundtrack is the PEAK of video game music. Every track in this game is so damn powerful like they didn’t hold back. It perfectly embodies what this game is- a transition from 2D to 3D Fighting game. I miss this style of 3D battle stages too. Why can’t they ever do it again? I’ve never seen any current fighting game with this style. Even the latest Arika fighting game (I think it’s called Fighting Layer EX) and SF6 function like 2D style battle stages. Makes me think it’s the reason their camera movements are held back. SF EX had such amazing camera movements especially in the replays.

[@reedyshadowryu6996]

Its like Devil May Cry music i love it this SF ex ost is awesome groovy

[@CutShadows]

Never played the EX series and I feel like I missed out on a GOD tier soundtrack here. I'd have to put this above the Alpha series maybe a tie with 3rd strike, its that good.

[@orlanzo2621]

EX Plus Alpha=Second Impact>Third Strike in terms of soundtrack

[@1upLeviathan]

Akumas best bgm!

[@ripejak]

The moment at 1:24 represents all the sacrifice and suffering Akuma to accept to reach his full power

[@SinnSK3]

I couldn’t have said it better. Right on the nail

[@samonlingboy4408]

1:24

[@JamietheEmperor]

Less suffering and more blind strive for power

[@nmarcus7233]

This level fucked me up as a kid

[@Nemesis_T_Type]

This is the song when Akuma is not holding back anymore.

[@jjmulvaney2758]

Best Akuma theme ever 🎉

[@EBKDanteMustDie]

REAL AKUMA THEME

[@thesch2867]

WHITEBLOODALPHA What about his SF3 Third strike theme it is very good too

[@E1N9A8N0DA]

This theme is nice, but I have a preference for his Capcom VS SNK 2 (SHIN Akuma) version. The kind of theme that clearly says " *prepare to get wrecked* ".

[@EBKDanteMustDie]

S.C.H 2.8 thats the closest 2nd but i prefer ex. Im glad arika is making a new game sadly not featuring him

[@vibezzz7211]

@@EBKDanteMustDie they are using music from the ex games so maybe.

[@EBKDanteMustDie]

ONYX GOLD its a step down from Ex2 idk why capcom abandoned this style of gameplay. The gameplay was 2d but the game was visually 3d

[@vouub352]

Never forget the first time I faced him for this particular version. He ran through every character I picked.

[@bobbyv369]

Very street of rage

[@sonofbigboss2323]

This theme is really bad ass, but it sounds like a tekken 1 theme hehe.

[@Schmamplicate]

Seems fitting if you ask me. The EX series were the 1st 3D Street Fighter games and since Tekken was one the 1st 3D fighting games ever, why not have a soundtrack that sorta sounds like it.

[@YoursTrulyRED]

The Doom Actually, Virtua Fighter 1 was the first 3D fighting game.

[@Schmamplicate]

BloodyNinja64 Sorry I meant to add "of" to my original post. I meant to say it was one OF the 1st 3D fighting games ever. Looking at my original post now, I see that I forgot to add that.

[@danram7167]

The composers for the EX series were from Namco's (Tekken, Ridge Racer) sound team, not too far off!

[@archived527]

Yeah, this was done by Takayuki Aihara, who done some arrangements for Tekken 1, such as the China theme. It also sounds a bit like some of his Sampling Masters works from that era.

[@icedragon23472]

For Instant Hell Murder: Press Lp Lp -> Lk Hp Have a nice day :)

[@genkal]

For Hadoken: Quarter circle forward + any p Cheers :)

[@sparkydeltorro]

D'you think this sound was applied to the original Devil May Cry? I think so.

[@markojohn480]

sparkydeltorro yeah! the nelo Angelo fight. that was my first thought when Devil May Cry came out and I feel in love with that game

[@loading2463]

nelo angelo it's akuma CONFIRMED.

[@St_Rizla]

It's a stock guitar loop

[@SaifTheKnife]

It had to have been. No doubt!

[@xenoxaos]

Akuma and this ost go hardbody hand in hand

[@PhoenixGC89]

This is so bad ass I had to make a new playlist just for this

[@OmegaChosen0]

Sounds like Chaos Legion..even more badass

[@Rasamia]

我こそ、拳を極めし者!

[@skettelho]

This almost reminds of the type of music they used the animated sf2 movie.🔥

[@Mortician50]

I feel like fuckin air kickboxing in the back yard while this is on.

[@leonard316]

Make some noise.....LOUDER!!!!!!......

[@liamroberts7512]

+leonard316 Does sure sound like Omega Rugal's theme a bit

[@Biggrittz]

Rugals Theme not Akuma 😭

[@gambitreign]

Yeah i fursure hear omega rugal's theme in this lol

[@rowedagreat2178]

Back when this came out this was my Saturday wake up song. Epic battles were fought and Akuma had God Hands

[@aroperdope]

And Daddy Akuma was always in one of his moods

[@Rhabanaarum]

Akuma gravity defying hair.

[@jjmulvaney2758]

1:23 Akuma’s fury roar.

[@Mouselord96]

Actually, I believe Akuma was killed by Kairi in the EX universe. That's why he isn't in EX 2 or 3 afterwards.

[@user-yt1cr4sb2h]

なんというスピード感。闘いを急げといった感じでしょうか。これを聞くと豪鬼がより強く思えきます。実際豪鬼はかなり強い。強敵です。

[@PoseidonSeastorm]

La mia musica preferita in assoluto, quanti ricordi!

[@UnCreativeDeconstructionism]

At 1:22 it's very reminiscent of the song "Tornado" From "Vectorman 2" and also the soundtrack from "Parasite Eve 2".

[@CaliforniaBigHunks]

I just realized alot of parts of this song was used for Dante's lock and load battle theme. Damn. Now I wish they had put akuma in a dmc game.

[@Krakenburgvortex79]

When it's 12am and you remember that you have homework due in the morning that you haven't finished yet.

[@fruityloops]

Idk why I feel this theme is more fitting for Oni in USF4

[@wikipediaintellectual7088]

God has hands

[@blacktopsamurai9811]

How can you make that sign? :'(

[@ZoneyDuel]

Kenneth Waterman SHOOSH

[@sour3000]

Messatsu!

[@tannerlion1994]

That sign... Is "Ten" mean "Heaven"

[@shincinki7659]

"I am Akuma, and my fists bleed death."

[@fifaworldcup1994]

"Welcome to your doom!"

[@Nahuelx]

*Gouki.

[@retrogamernr.8569]

"Die 1000 deaths"

[@Beessokoo1coo1]

@@Nahuelx what’s the difference

[@Nahuelx]

@@Beessokoo1coo1 Gouki is his original and authentic name, which resembles that of Gouken (his brother if I'm not mistaken). "Akuma" is literally a name change both unnecessary and stupid, like many others, that only exists in the censored, shitty and intentionally mistranslated USA releases, not in the original (japanese) version.

[@joaopontes89]

1:28 the best part!

[@mastag6880]

this was 1997 sounds more like 98 or 99

[@sour3000]

True💯💯

[@123TauruZ321]

Not often you find vids on yt with 100% likes. And i didn't even think this theme was so great.

[@Thanos_aka_Imperius]

yeah this theme is surprisingly great

[@zeromus6460]

Tauru what have you eaten with your porridge good sir :D !?

[@123TauruZ321]

Kim Grönlund Vitamin pills ^^

[@zeromus6460]

It seems that even those are too much for ya. Try not to drug yourself

[@zeromus6460]

Then my friend you should learn simple English :D And after all this you are no one to say that to me, did you took too many vitamins again?

[@bowlofarthritus713]

Other than his first appearence, this verson of him was pretty damn hard

[@hollyaveent]

im pretty sure if I had to fight a 3 round bout with Satan...this would be the music for the first round

[@stingernitro]

I always think of the menu song from Test Drive 4 while listening to this

[@polar6066]

in my -bootleg- disk hokuto,kairi and akuma all shared the same theme so it was pretty cool

[@ferencgebhardt9796]

This street fighter my best game and also everything all good.

[@ProdByGILLZ]

Reminds me a little of Kunimitsu's theme from Tekken 2

[@alexmaximus110]

What a shame he is not in the Street Fighter Ex 3 or 2 plus

[@hurricane7727]

Kairi Killed Akuma which is why he isn't in those Games .

[@michaeldaude6374]

Still my favorite akuma theme, street fighter ex plus alpha had a crazy good soundtrack, another extremely good one is zangief’s theme, both are menacing as hell

[@REDLINE94306]

Best character in the serie

[@darclionheart]

come to think of it.... you can use this music in a party together with the dubstep shizzle xD

[@sirgreatness]

@MixerProductions I think that section gives tribute to the awe-inspiring effect to akuma, cause he's a stud.

[@unclepalo]

Hands down the EX version of the gouki boss battle is the hardest SF boss fight

[@hemagi01]

parece com o tema do Dante no DMC 1

[@ryuhoshi9381]

4 people couldn't beat fearsome Akuma

[@AHMEDRAVENBARNACLE-84]

Tokido’s theme from now on.

[@theace1902]

Best theme

[@jnieves77]

Some people saying this sound like this theme of of this game and that game just remember this game came out in 1996 in the arcade so a lot of themes sound like this theme..

[@jeabl]

Excellent when Akuma kicks bison's ass and u hav to fight with him Arika music Rules!!!! i used to play in 3 rounds to listen all the music

I would put this in a movie! plus how were the sound effects not so high quality but the music was???

[@ShaneDouglas713]

1:23-1:46 Best part

[@VLN904C]

-Hm. TV? Messatsu!

[@sour3000]

This sounds like something from Blade💯

[@frankjager2420]

I always felt this was one of the toughest Akumas in any Street Fighter game. Only way I could beat him was spam throws with Alan

[@Tyrik73]

@MixerProductions I think this akuma is more like Gouken than the Regular sf akuma(Notice this akuma`s hair is pink not red).

[@bowlofarthritus]

its almost like a "I have returned" theme

[@ObiWanJabronE]

The title alone made me click on it "God Hands".

[@mfcoop]

i bet akuma is training to this right now

[@rao1087]

the artwork and music of this game is just amazing , new games seems to be souless i love sf4 but doesnt have this groove , i think that kof xiii still has it in terms of artwork and atmosphere , but the sf4 gameplay kick ass

[@samirbrizini4336]

天 mesaaaaaaaaaaaaaatsu ! the powerful character in ex plus @

[@ryuhoshi9381]

I have beaten Akuma in arcade mode, he is a boss super hard to beat him
