I know some people are sick of people commenting about Smash Bros., but come on, the new version of the song, that came with the Terry Bogard DLC in Smash Ultimate, is now the best version of the song, and they even managed to make the cheesy English version good.
I honestly annoyed when they mention Smash on a lot of the videos revolving around Psycho Soldier. I mean Super Smash Bros Ultimate may be a great fun game, but it's not like it's the very best game in the universe. I get that it is good, but people overpraise it to no end. I honestly just prefer 2D fighters and 3D fighters and not really into the party "fighter"s. I get that people really love it and that is their own opinion but it doesn't change that it is annoying. I didn't grow up with SNK but I did play a few of the games like a couple of King of Fighters games, Samurai Showdown, and the Japanese arcade version of Psycho Soldier. It's like people only give credit to Psycho Soldier because of Smash. Maybe they didn't know about it but these SNK games came way before the first Smash. It's like the legacy to newcomers all amounts to Smash. If people see a Guilty Gear, a Devil May Cry, or a Virtua Fighter character in Smash Ultimate, people would start referring videos referring to these IPs to Smash and that would be annoying as well.
My favorite version really is the cassette version. Kaori was the original singer for this song and on my opinion, the best one. I love her voice and I love the melody of the cassette version, it also somewhat sounds like a tokusatsu theme. I could imagine Psycho Soldier as a tokusatsu series anyway, specially with that intro saying "Psycho Soldier!" with that sound. I second version '97 as a second favorite, I like this version a lot. (Unrelated to the song, this old 80's Athena is really cute). lol
For people saying ''Where's the Smash version?'' Don't worry, I'm currently making a update version of the video, also having other version the song that didn't appear in this video, stay turned!
You should listen to the other Athena songs too: Kizu Darake No Blue Moon, Present Holiday and My Love. They are so damn good! ua-cam.com/video/Wvw-kRRQ1M8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/r_pTewHuYVk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/_s7AM0t2eyo/v-deo.html If there are anymore Athena songs, I don't know them unfortunately. ^^;
The original English version is so offbeat it's hilarious. Prior to the Smash remix I think my favorite might be KOF 94 for having a pretty cool relaxed take on the song or the cassette version for its pure 80s feel.
It was a nice touch having each remix sung by Athena’s VA at the time. Kind of wish Haruna Ikezawa had sung a version of this song. I mean she‘s been around since 1998 for Pete’s sake.
that cassette tape version is really nice. Match of the Millenium version was pretty neat as well. 97 vocal is my usual goto. can't go wrong with that one.
it seems like im not the only one whos totally mezmerized by that song. first heard it in smash ultimate. the net goes freaky bout it :) FIRE FIRE PSYCHO SOLDIER!
My most favourite version surprisingly isn't done by SNK but by Sora. Don't get me wrong, the casette version is awesome, but Yuzo Koshiro brought the song to the next level.
SNK Sound Team was incredible! The arranged versions are superb, and the cartridge versions are incredible! Sometimes I dare to say they sound better on FM!
The best of course is the original 87 cassete version 3:20 it's more emocional and more powerful vocal, the next great one is the Neo Geo 94 version 8:49 but this is way more cheeling, the nexts versions was always more like a imitation of previous versions.
The only versions of the Psycho Soldier Theme that aren't in this video are: The Instrumental version from the original game. The New Mix and 97 Mix versions from KOF Kyo. And the ~Super Chinese Remix~ from 2002: Unlimited Match.
Magallanes 2540 they were, but I didn’t understand why the music was so scarce. It’s like you’d beat Benimaru and then Esaka 97 would play for Kyo and then back to silence for Daimon...
@@KazuyaMishima91 they were going for more atmospheric sounds the wind chanting and stuff like during the stages and only in some stages music that added to the atmhosphere.
Todas las versiones de 1986 y 1987 son muy lindas, incluyendo la de C64, muy bien lograda. Es una pena que se desconozca la intérprete de la versión en inglés, es muy linda interpretación respetando la escencia original; provoca un sentimiento distinto.

Who else watched all 30 minutes of this and enjoyed it
best thing about Athena is.. she got a new design in every game but her move list is bascially the same in all the game...
love the '94 version. 1 of the best.
