What I love about her themes is that each bring a different facet of her personality. Blazed Up conveys her raw grief, undeniable will to fight for justice and unfortunate fate in a twisted yet graceful manner. Blood Tie reveals Helena's gradual descent into coldness, brutality and aloofness whilst remaining determined and full of elegance. Solitary Desperation embodies Helena's despair and sorrow mixed with a newfound ruthlessness given what happened to her family and her claim to power as CEO of DOATEC while preserving her icy, ethereal, menacing beauty and unflinchingly kind manners/demeanor to everyone.
Wow, they really did go off on this theme especially at the part 0:51 Either way, I like this more than her DOA 2 theme only because this theme actually represents what she is now in DOA 3. She confronted Christie and realized that Christie is the one that killed her mother but Christie stated she was supposed to kill Helena but her mother stepped in and took the bullet. Now, Helena has a chance to avenge for her Mother's death by killing Christie. This theme is almost like a Redemption theme.
I thought that she learned that fact in DOA4. Christie here mainly reveals she is an assassin that was meant to watch over Helena until it was time to kill her. It's what makes Helena's last battle in four so important and heartbreaking as she now knows who killed her mother, thus reaching the climax of her arc. I even feel that solitary desperation was made for that specific battle
The girl was fighting for her life and this song embodied it. I loved Christie and Helena characters on this game and played them the most. Christie more so 😅
This theme specifically is for Helena. Its a redemption theme knowing that Christie is the one that killed her mother. Christie was there all along and Helena realized she was the killer along. Dead or Alive 2 for helena had the best stage but for the best song its clearly DOA 3
Side not unrelated to Helena but I REALLY wished Marie Rose got a new theme in 6 or just an extra theme in 5 that had the same level of darkness and danger to the sound similarly to Helena’s Blood tie or Christie’s Monster track. Just listening to this music brings back memories sure but makes me realise that Doa used to just have characters that were dark even to the simple things like tracks. To give the listener a certain feeling to relate to the character at that point of the story. Bloody Nocturne is fine, it’s cute and theatrical for a vampire masquerade feel and fun for her but truly I just want Marie to embody danger despite the cute appearance.
2023 here enjoying old game osts
Sameeee

that's deep
Love your analyzation of the themes!
@@riveroso21 Merci ❤
Thank you for encapsulating the feelings of my favorite fighting game character 🤍
Well said!! Blood tie is my favorite of Helena’s! It sounds like an epic theme
One of the best characters, with the best and most striking themes
This was the first game I ever owned for the original Xbox. When I think of DOA3 *this* is the song I think about/remember the most.
Same! It was my first game my dad bought for me when he got me the first Xbox and it was my first 3D game!
one of my fav games themes! and one of the best if not the best helena theme in doa! it fits her story and character perfectly!
DOA3 themes are great!
I like the song. I can exercise with it

HELENA DOUGLAS IS MY FUCKING QUEEEEEEENNNNNN

BEST THEME EVER! good old times =)
Soooo goooood
Sounds a bit like Ace Combat 5. Im not complaining, l think its actually really cool
I placed this song as Sarah's theme in DOA5U lol (Helena deserves her original DOA2 theme)
princess sama :v
I love both themes but come on? This is the best Helena theme
Agreed, melpomene is much better for Helena
This theme specifically is for Helena. Its a redemption theme knowing that Christie is the one that killed her mother. Christie was there all along and Helena realized she was the killer along.

@@hashiseasin829I knew there was a reason why I dislike Christie
This sounded like a theme from Ninja Gaiden
Same music composer.
@@gjtrue Ryo Koike has a mark of his own.

Oh, so THIS is where her DoA: Dimensions theme come from. (Sorry, I don't know much about the series soundtrack.)
Be ready to see the Continue screen when you figh-, I mean lose to Helena. Don't let the pretty face fool you!!
Hardest hype
