Street Fighter 6 OST - Asura - Shin Akuma Theme

[@ViperKreuz]

EDIT: The non-vocal version is now up! Listen to it here: ua-cam.com/video/yzVT1FEIbfc/v-deo.htmlsi=qZ1iAYMImTP3aGfA
This was a really tricky one to mix in, because the theme has separate segments for the instruments and the vocal chants that occur in the theme - as in the vocals are it's own separate audio files. While working on this theme, I noticed that the vocal chants have different variations that play in both Round 1 and Round 2. I've implemented all the variations in the theme to reflect it as close as possible to how it plays in the game. It was a bit of a challenge but I think I did pretty well with this.
I can also do a version of the theme without the vocal chants in the background if people like. Something that you wouldn't hear anywhere else, not even in the game. What do you guys think? Should I do a non vocal version of this or not? Let me know in the comments!

I would love to hear the non vocal version of this awesome song!

[@Switcheroo4542]

definitely non vocal please

[@yaladhotshot3805]

Do it this is good but you're work is amazing so would love to hear it

[@bfFAN221]

Yes please, good sir VK, you do the Lord's work 🙏
Interesting to hear that the vocals are separate though - definitely an odd choice.

[@adriano449]

thanks dude, now i can do the slowed and speed up version 😇

[@matheusalcantara573]

I find it really awesome that Gouki’s theme is “Shura”, but SHIN Gouki’s is called “Asura”, meaning he’s transcended

Combining Metal With Traditional Japanese Music Makes This Masterpiece

[@Kamurotetsu]

I wasn't expecting his classic theme callback at 1:41 !! Got goosebumps and the sudden urge to hit the gym and rip my muscles by lifting more than what a non Satsui no Hadou infused body can handle

[@NeoZiggy92]

SiRN.....I'm onto you more than ever now.

[@JPCWhutwhut]

Reminds me of Kage's theme. The djent-y sounds

[@hayate_soe260]

Yup for sure

[@Orihalo_Gaming]

Epic as fuck. Best evil version of all SF tracks. I'm absolute excited, what a banger!

[@megamc3803]

This is one of the best SF themes ever wow! Screw all the people saying this games songs are bad because it has a bunch of great songs and this is definitely one of them!

[@kakashihatake4180]

I dunno about that one chief.

[@mixedgrene9729]

This theme in particular is great but I hate almost all the rest except ryus theme

[@marche800]

@@mixedgrene9729 Not even Jaime's?

[@mixedgrene9729]

@@marche800 that one's not too bad but personally I prefer the more high energy arcade music in sf5 and sf4

[@xmaracx]

Thing is sf6 overall chose more subduded ost design, which is fine and all, but the problem is most of them feel really anemic, without a real hook. It wasnt executed that well.
Most of them are missing something, and akumas theme in comparison to shin akuma perfectly encapsulates this.
Asura fucks, especially when compared to Shura, hell shura wouldnt have to go nearly as hard as this, but it should have a bit more impact, a stronger melody, something the buildup leads to. Like most of sf6 ost.

[@MeatSim64]

"Normal" Gouki beats SiRN Gouki.
*"YOU DARE TO MOCK ME?!"*

[@Beforezzz]

"Level 8/100 SiRN Akuma really be trying you" Theme

[@SeoulMan]

I am satiated.

[@SuperFusionAJ93]

Last thing we need is Skynet Akumas.

[@marche800]

They would still probably lose to the real deal

[@megamc3803]

This is incredible definitely one of the best SF themes ever and perfectly fits Shin Akuma. Intense and hardcore as hell.

[@joaogarcia1685]

It seems really hard to follow the sound of the flute, but the guitar was sick, it kinda reminds me of Oni

[@Bleach_Drinker_7]

Yeah the flute parts feel super off beat with the guitar, not a fan tbh

[@lewhanwen4302]

​@@Bleach_Drinker_7 considering this is the theme of SiRN Akuma, and the World Tour story involves a SiRN researcher asking you to gather data on Akuma for a copy-fighter project, not to mention if you fought SiRN Akuma with normal characters their win quotes specifically call out that there's something missing from this copy...seems fair to assume it's probably intentional, to reflect the clash between the old-fashioned warrior and the empowered-but-soulless copy SiRN created.

[@marche800]

[@imthecatman4999]

Theme of dying 1000 deaths

[@Babamarcus2632]

Nobody hears some Shadow Fight vibes??

[@skullgeneration3979]

Now that you mentioned it, it really does resemble Shadow Fight's 2 ost quite a lot... it's even a bit nostalgic

[@halkras]

especially feels like SHOGUN boss battle

[@VoiceFGC]

Now this... this is crazy.

[@ussser666]

For me you make the official soundtrack arrangement, they all are that great.

[@SOK39]

They must bring back Rock OSTs for upcoming characters

[@Takashii85]

Dat character theme remix sounds promising..

[@metroidfan5936]

The theme of trying to grind the giant akuma boss event for the shin akuma color

[@ronramen5827]

I was wondering if this plays after you get the Shin Akuma taunt off, but I guess this is just for the Giant Attack boss

[@ViperKreuz]

Here's a bonus for you. You can set this theme to play for Akuma with the new Jukebox update.

[@SorcererShangTsung]

@@ViperKreuzis it free or how do you acquire it?

[@Leonellus-gm6xi]

​@@SorcererShangTsungit's free

[@FFVogter.-em6zz]

The fact that his old theme is back goes to show that Akuma always has been true to himself.

[@XxKeNoHxX]

This is going right on my work out playlist

[@yaladhotshot3805]

I've actually been waiting for you to upload your version cus the quality is sooo good. Thanks bro keep doing the good work for us all

[@ViperKreuz]

Thanks for the support!

[@Replies.Delete.SometimesIDKy]

Yeah idk how this dude does it but his quality is always better than the majority.

[@yaladhotshot3805]

Literally bro like there was a couple out but they were missing in quality and I knew this dude was gonna upload it soon enough. And he went above and beyond yet again

[@thatonecaster6501]

That low health goes hard for no reason

[@aaronbuchanan5876]

Outstanding 💎

[@-saintsiiirow-6795]

The homie is back with another banger much appreciated

[@aliiaygun]

Is it me? Or I can actually hear some parts of Akuma's old theme song?

[@KoruKinshi]

The fact that we have two themes is wild. Haven't seen this since SF3 Second Impact.

[@somesandman8328]

This has Kage all over it

[@SUBPARCADE]

0:07 straight up sounds like my front door's doorknob and it makes me get out of my seat EVERY fuckin time this song comes on lmao

[@FGC_Amu]

Bring back this music style in SF6 please. The Djent touch was too fking good.

[@RyanBrown2K5]

I *STILL* haven't beaten him...

[@Ner0Rev0lver]

Use Jamie and just use HP over and over, cpu doesnt punish even on block 90% of the time

[@Beforezzz]

I only beat him one time with Ryu, finished with a lv3 SA. Felt like the end of a Rocky movie.

[@BronzeAgePepper]

​@@Ner0Rev0lver Spamming Hooligan throw with Cammy also an effective cheese strat.

[@NeoZiggy92]

Beat him with E. Honda a few times. And he's MAD easy against my Avatar!

[@austinreed7343]

The boss version themes being the traditional themes gives me hope of new arrangements of the classic themes, at least for Dictator.

[@Bleach_Drinker_7]

Does anyone else feel that the flute does not mesh with the rest of the comp at all?

[@whateveryouwantmetobe.1489]

Imo that seemed intentional. Akuma + Technology has always been offputing since he is more old-fashioned. The modern guitar and more traditional flute represent the duality of a tech based Akuma pretty well in my opinion.

[@marche800]

The guitar's are exclusive to this mix. They are overlapping with Akuma's regular theme

[@25shadow11]

Oh, so THIS is where the original akuma theme went.. they turned it into his boss theme, whilst giving him a regular character theme, ok.

[@BlackwindGogeta]

It sounds like DOOM music with those guitars. And I love it.

[@Jllucas2898]

🥶🥶🥶

[@WebbanationX]

Still not better than Genbu but better than his normal one, and with the call back to his original theme? Heated. I dunno how I feel about the vocals tho

[@TheSkarletKardinalSwoopsIn]

I definitely prefer this over Akuma's actual theme song in the game. It goes much harder than that one.

[@ShaneDouglas713]

I beat him with my Avatar multiple times...

[@plasentaman6061]

I hope you add the Jamie cap jam track!!

[@ViperKreuz]

Well you're in luck. I just uploaded it today.
