@@francoandreselgueta7711 a mi tmb me ocurre lo mismo... tengo 34 años... y esta melodia me trae muchos recuerdos... su primera version que escuche fue de 8bits en la antigua famicom.
If you're a Ryu and/or Ken fan, I combined both themes into one song for 2 violins and piano. I also timed it to a double-KO gameplay video between Ryu and Ken. It's pretty epic and I invite you to come check it out!
ToasterRabbit That doesn't necessarily prove anything. I can confirm that Sub-Zero is on the Wii U version through some leftover files I looked through without visual proof, but would you believe me? 'Tis best not to get your hopes up until there's official confirmation.
I remember these themes, they still fill me with adrenaline, me betting my hard earned quarters against dudes much older than me in the arcade. I was determined to win.
I noticed the genius of Yoko Shimomura now, Ryu is the lead character in the game, and his music sort of is universal, will fit in with all characters and their backgrounds. I don't know if Yoko Shimomura did this on purpose or not, but it is indeed a stroke of genius.
I remember playing that cruddy flash game, Ryu vs. Sagat at school because it was the only Street Fighter-related thing on the computers that wasn't blocked.
I remember. It was the very first time I ever heard of or saw Street Fighter. We used to play this and thought he was cheating. We never beat him, but we came close. Flash game is decent though
0:33 always my fav bit of very Ryu theme It shows like this guy will keep going till the end no matter what knocks us down you get back up and teaches us a life lesson not to give up
It is ok to give up sometimes, you know. I don't think Ryu would tell people "motivational speeches" like that shameful one of the "Rocky Balboa" movie. Balance is the key.
Nobody has ever made a Ryu remix that is as good as this, even with real instruments. Something about it nobody has been able to replicate. They make it too clean or slow, bad sound choices etc.
In the world of fighting games, there's no song more iconic then this one. So much so that EVERY theme Ryu's ever had in any game he's been in has borrowed elements from this theme.
SFII: the original oldie SFA: when the pop star/ new band remakes the oldie SSFII (CPS2): when the oldie comes back and remakes it SSFII (SNES): when the oldie's brother remakes it
The classic theme song of all fighting games with the iconic Ryu spearheading it! The theme still gives me the same determination to keep going as it did back in the 90's. Many renditions of this song were made over the years but it always comes back to the original.
I want to say thank you to my dad who actually got me interested in Street Fighter. My dad give us our names when we were born. I was the Sean, my younger brother is Cody and my youngest brother is actually Ryu.

Ryu beats the strongest fighter and says he needs to train harder
+SAIBOT MLG556 In case the strongest fighter (probably sagat) gets even stronger.
It seemed to me like they always put emphasis on Ken while Ryu was so amazing in his shadow... That's why he became my favourite
Because other fighter up so for stay the best he need to train harder.
true dedication
Ryu is never satisfied with his accomplishments. He always wants more.
Yoko Shimomura is a phenomenal composer! Her work on this game is just iconic and timeless.
@Syklone Was she the only one behind this composition? I guess not.. Isao Abe was also one of the composers
@@hrishikeshyalgudkar5248 he composed only sagat's theme, i think
@@yurisg92 Isao Abe also composed the player selection music, and "here comes a new challenger" music. Rest belongs to Yoko.
The composer for Kingdom Hearts is the genius behind this?!
Japanese composition at it's best. Pre-homogenized by western culture.
This theme brings forward what Ryu carries inside his heart, but rarely expresses to the outside: his passion.
Corny as hell🙄🙄

Ryu be the only one to defeat a god and say “I still need more training”
*Goku cries in a corner
You're truly the strongest when there's no one else to challenge you
*His work ethic though is something to commend. Even when he wins, constantly training. I respect that.*
Fatal Fury protagonist Terry Bogard actually beat a real god once, he defeated the Greek war God Ares. Ryu has yet to fight a divine being himself.
