Strider 2 (PS1) OST - Stage 1: Defeat the Terrorists in the Occupied City

[@TriplomatX]

This is such an amazing opener of a song. This has such a Marvel vs Capcom feel, having the drum pattern as Hulk. I love how Capcom takes Real songs, and turn them into great gaming songs. This has that slow approach, this wouldn't work in the 2014 Strider game as that one moves quicker.

While you are at it, opening songs from every other Strider game are energetic and heroic themes. Strider 2 isn't really that slow either, it plays roughly as same as any other; but _this_ song seems to being carrying such a serious, almost depressing weight in it's tone - although still being avengeful in it's own slower pace. Man, being Hiryu must be tough.

@@sr.metang8193 Yeah, this does hold a depressing weight in tone. Living in a world where you're basically Earth's last hope, you hold the world in your hand. The Russian main music in Strider '14, talk about "Give me Salvation".

@@TriplomatX Yes... that, and losing all of your fellow Strider friends and your family, as if that weren't enough. The manga isn't very happy either.

man... that PS1 era Capcom arcade sound font... Mh, good stuff.

So Ton's the only Stider boss to actually be second most popular 🤣 That's nuts We should have a duo between Hiryu and Ton as a good redemption arc for her character
