Where Did Those Samples Come From? ~ Street Fighter III Third Strike Soundtrack

[@GardevoirBoy]

Don't forget that the ''Let's Go!" was sampled from the Adam West television version of Batman.

[@mrdasjo]

That's right. I only heard about it recently.

[@yoboimrmugen8398]

@@mrdasjo what episode is it from exactly?

[@PhatsouL87]

Facts!

[@milanesacondubstep5830]

Probably this video is pretty old now, but a couple of the sources are wrong - There's not a single "Pac-Man dying sound" sample in the game, Urien's theme uses a plain sine wave with manual LFO-like pitch bend events, the slight resemble is just coincidence - The "Siren" sound used in Hugo and Gill's theme is actually an Electric Guitar SFX, it can be found on very high quality (Compared to the one at Phoenix) on E-MU Classic Series Vol. 17 - Heavy Guitars (Even if that Sample CD is from 1995 and Phoenix came out in 1991, Classic Series are a compilation of E-MU's classic samples and patches from various of its libraries, so the sample itself could be way older and present in another E-MU module, like the various Proteus ie). - The CD scratch is a Hit from Zero-G Datafile Disc 1, there's a bunch of 3rd Strike content here, like the Pick Scrape, and samples that even Infinite used in his songs (Like a Drum Fill), i don't think somebody at Capcom actually took the time sampling actual songs for the OST, the most common answer is they used libraries like this one for all A little extra is, the main chug and power chords guitar is also inside Heavy Guitars! Good video regardless, i just wanted to point this out and not to be misconceptions ;)

[@LootPackShop]

Damn you know your capcom

[@mkl_1301]

I bet most of the samples came from a free audiolibrary, just like the "Let's Go" from Adam West. Most of these were used because it was easier as they were free from copyright and stuff.

[@milanesacondubstep5830]

@@mkl_1301 The "Let's go" from SA Ready SFX was found already, even if it was sampled from a Batman episode, the exact library they used for it was found too, It's Zero-G too iirc

[@DaDualityofMan]

Now that u mention I think I saw a video of some of the library sounds

[@blutagg63]

Damn I can’t escape the amen break

[@juggernautvixx]

The Shakuhachi Japanese flute used in Akuma and Ibuki's stage is in the sample CD: Zero G - DataFile Vol 2; - Flute 1. And it's also in the E-mu Emulator 2 sampler.

[@djratao5281]

Street Fighter 3 have one of the best game soundtracks

[@jamieodonnell8976]

2:13 Sorry if you already heard this. I'm pretty sure that flute track is the Shakuhachi preset from an E-MU synthesizer.

[@alizaidi5610]

One of the best videos ever posted on KZbin.

[@DrNoBrazil]

Is that the only video you watched?

[@jonathansebastian8421]

The Longshoreman (Sean and Oro stage) samples the iconic synth from Kool and The Gang - Summer Madness

[@yaelg.a.2686]

Also don't forget that The Longshore Man synth Line is a sample from Kool & The Gang's Summer Madness

[@Jesus3rdcoming]

The think! sample in new generation was also used on the game over screen, just slowed down. This is an awesome series, I can't wait to see what samples you find on other games.

[@LightningPuppet]

Fighting games need more Breakcore and DnB soundtracks

[@MJFan211]

I don't know if I am the only one who hears it, but I think in 3rd Strike in the continue screen when you press the start button you can hear the Michael Jackson's "Au".

[@Silverlining-gm8fd]

The vinyl scratches(New Generation/Second Impact) are from the discontinued Dance expansion board from Roland (SR-JV80-06) due to copyright! In the Arcade Jazzy NYC also more noted in Ibuki's Loose in Twilight, part of the drum loop samples are from Ueberschall Drum'N'Bass Resonance (Akai) [Nowadays converted to Elastik Player using the library AntiGravity Maneuvers] Cheers

[@Sune]

LOVE SAMPLES. great work putting this video together, I never realized how many of these songs had samples or how they'd often share them. it's like Hideki Okugawa really tried to come up with as many ways as possible to use them 3rd Strike and Hip-Hop were so formative to me when I was a teenager, and I still remember the whole "remix + original compositions" scene that sprung up on KZbin back in the day which was centered around SF3's music. so to see a video like this that's dedicated to the game's music brings me back. btw, Yuki Iwai also contributed to the OSTs of New Generation and 2nd Impact, although she didn't return for 3rd Strike. just wanted to bring that up in case!

[@PhatsouL87]

OH MY GOD!!! Thank you for unpacking these samples!! I’m geek’d. As producer/beatmaker myself. AND A HUGE FAN of SF3 3rd strike. I truly appreciate this.

[@jenn5628]

Thank you for this video me being born in the early '80s I was raised on '90s hip hop and old school music so when I was playing Street Fighter 3 for the first time as a teenager I recognize some of those Tunes all I have to say is Capcom did have some good taste and music

[@bao._____]

I knew that was something really unique about the music of 3rd Strike. Dope video man, congratz!

[@TheBanisher24]

I am both happy and extremely pissed that the algorithm gave me this video now..... At least I'm subscribed now.

[@edman813]

Inspite of the repeat usage of a lot of these samples everywhere, SF3TS still fails to sound monotonous and every track manages to be so great to listen to.

[@ShoHidari]

The character select theme from 2i uses a sample from Calling the People by A-zone. It's that steel drum roll at the start, can't remember where it plays in calling the people tho

[@r1konTheAutomator]

1:50 - yep good catch! That's the Amen Break, named after this song. 3rd strike probably has the best Amen Break uses of any song ever lol

[@megamanxhunter]

That Amen Break is the basis of every DnB I listened to.

[@killingthemood2000]

This is my favorite soundtrack in gaming, so this breakdown was like GOLD for me!

[@AK325iZoro]

How dose this not a more views Thanks for making this I am big fan of hip hop and this Soundtrack from 3rd strike

[@mrdasjo]

Thanks! I'm also a fan of Street Fighter, among many other fighting games like DOA and Tekken.

[@holdenmcroinn9193]

phenomenal shit, man. keep it up

[@SM1777Y]

Third strike has one of the best osts of all time imo

[@Pēm̐cā]

Man I love this soundtrack

[@pedromatos7128]

Great video! I noticed that you did a review of the 3rd Strike arcade soundtrack. I would recommend giving a listen to the arranged version of the soundtrack used on the Dreamcast and PS2 versions of the games as some of the music is radically different from its arcade counterpart. Still one of my favorite Street Fighter games of all time. Street Fighter 6 following closely behind.

[@Darkogazza]

This is such a cool video and dives deep on a subject I never even knew I wanted to know more about! Thanks for putting this together, great research.

[@mgrsdgfsdafsdgrsdgfsdg6980]

Yeah that makes sense

[@DudeWatIsThis]

Bro you have some amazing ears. You better be a musician or something, not everyone has that level of musical empathy.

[@TheSkyTribe]

Video game history Class 📝 love this content bro . So much detail in these tracks def deserves a deep dive 💯🔥

[@Gubalicious]

This is such a cool video! I'm always curious to find out where samples have come from. It increases your appreciation for where the sample is used and also also the source material.

[@johnny718bravo]

My mind is Blown!

[@SUPERSONICGIRLIFY]

Love the shoutout to the source of the legendary amen break and beats signature to Drum n' Bass.

[@username23156]

Thank you posting this SF3 is one my favorite OSTs and never knew they used sampled but chances are when music sounds too good it aint 100% orginal.

[@Fulgore2005]

The Arranged version of Elena's New Generation has a vocal track that was in Uzi-Lay's Put Your Faith in Me.

[@DaDualityofMan]

Third Strike is my favorite video game OST ever so it’s nice getting this info, but I’m surprised there’s no mention of of Yun and Yang’s theme being James Bond or Q’s being the X Files

[@a.e.w.384]

So glad Capcom never got in trouble for all these samples. The 3rd strike soundtrack is the greatest game soundtrack of all time for me. It also explains why Capcom never tried to remix this for later games. Too many lawsuits would come out of the woodworks.

[@VULCAN1135]

Youre a man of culture

[@EvaNoelleYT]

so glad i found this again, love this video

Awesome work man, it was really interesting to get to know the music references! Thank you for adding the samples + giving the site you got them from. Really cool video.

I love stuff like this. You definitely gained a sub from me man.

[@theanimetomato980]

Amen break is in everything at this point

[@WaffleKrushaTTV]

This is awesome! I love this!!!

[@FinalLychee]

The siren sound in the intro to the arranged version of 'The Longshoreman' seems to sampled from the song 'Summer Madness.' kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIK2emCoirqMp6M

[@brennholz6031]

ooooooh it's called the "Amen Break" because it comes from a song called Amen Brother. Never knew!

[@RatTalisman]

Clicked on this video by accident. I'm glad I did.

[@gameboi20]

Amen brother was also used in the Slipknot song eyeless

This is pretty great! Great job and thanks

[@EmmettLBrown2015]

Ohh great video my man!!

[@boodastillstanding2636]

If I'm not mistaken I think Hugo's 2nd impact theme samples Tupac - Temptations

[@ARISE24]

this is dope you broke it down

[@iurioso]

bro this game is one of most complete artistically games ever made

[@kevinnunezolarte1632]

NICE

[@johanngeorgfaust4309]

dude awesome research !!! blowed my mind!!! maybe some parts of the soundtrack are just randomly similar and not actually samples but we will never know till capcom talks about it... thank you so much ps: did u check the parts in a DAW (digital audio workstation) and compare the tones with the samples for accuracy ? would interest me pretty much

[@edwn00005]

yeah, that makes sense.

[@utopiasayvahnn]

amazing

[@Uranus-qi7eg]

I know that's hard to answer, but when come from the "Uooo" vocal chant present in Ibuki and Akume theme? Until my childhood I felt something weirdo about this - like "I heard something similar before". Thanks!

[@rimjobledouche5201]

My vgm collection is massive, but 3rd Strike and Ridge Racer Type 4 remain two of my most played albums of all time. They're timeless. Truth is, I enjoy individual tracks in Alpha 2 and 3 more, but as a whole package, 3S definitely feels more aurally cohesive. EDIT: I'm a little confused over China Vox 99's sample of Nothing Serious. Is the main hook just a sped-up version of the sound effect you've cited? I have a mid-90's house album that I'm nearly positive uses that same sound.

[@TheEviIOyo]

okugawa went all out lol

[@Moncayo_02]

this video is so incredible

[@specter_of_thestars2500]

There’s also a Michael Jackson “OWW” at the continue screen which is neat

[@pretzel6629]

that could be literally anyone

[@untitledunmastered1023]

The crazy thing is that Tyler the creator also used the the Winstons - amen brother, as a sample for his song pigs in his album wolf

[@mrdasjo]

It's one of the most influential samples. Heck, I've used it a lot in my compositions.

You literally sound like endeavor from My Hero 🤣

[@lewisb.m7936]

I'm pretty video game companies have a bunch of sample libraries for composer to use legally in they're music

[@mrdasjo]

The video is to explain the origins of the samples themselves, since sample libraries consist of sounds/voices from diffrent sources.

[@rgg1009]

What about the New Generation arranged themes? Is there anything _sampled_ there?

[@mrdasjo]

I'd have to check out that album. I wanted to focus on the arcsde versions for this video, so I would do a separate video on that.

[@karmacharizard7913]

Do CvS2 tunes also sample?

[@mrdasjo]

Yes they do. I'm actually almost finished a video for it. Will be uploaded today or tomorrow.

[@CloakEngaged]

and sampled from what? old school music. nothing good comes from this new era lol sf6 is using trap. never will be as memorable as the essence of hip hop

[@gemini4lyfe3001]

Im thoroughly impressed.......now who want that ass beat???? Fightcade??? PSN??
