These games were amazing competitive fighting games with their speed and mechanics and 2d sprites they looked very fluid specially third strike R.I.P 2D Street fighter games We'll always remember you...
Kelvin Ng I know. It's sad to think that this was (I think) the last 2D street fighter game in the franchise. Listening to this song brings a massive nostalgia to me.
Kelvin Ng actually,this last Saturday I fought a chun li so good it might as well have been the Wong in this stage with ken on fightcade. 18 yrs later and 3S is still alive...
SF6 Alex vs Ryu Alex: You still wear that headband you’ve been sporting for years. Ryu: Long time Alex. I’ve heard about your success. I’m proud of how far you’ve come. Alex: I think u owe me a fight from years back. What do you say you and I bring those memories back? Ryu: As I’ve told you, I’m always up for a fight. I accept your challenge Alex.
This song is legendary to all fighting game fans, both young and old, newbies and veterans. Even me, having been only a smash fan, not playing a single Street Fighter, I ended up coming across this song at some point and it Instantly stuck in my head as one of my favorites. The legend of Daigo only further solidifies where this stage stands in the 90s to early 2000s generation. This was our moment in time. And it will stick with us for as long as we live.
It's kinda weird that Alex and Ken were given the same stage in 3rd. I mean, Ken's filthy loaded. All of his stages up to that point were on luxury liners. Now he's in a filthy dimly lit subway spraying his name on the walls with Alex. Really? Doesn't he have a company he should be buying out? Or is he just bored and likes to dress up working class at night?
Third Strike had too many characters and animations which left the developers without much space in the CPS3 version, so they had to save space by making the music in the CPS3 version lower quality than 2nd impact and New Gen, they also made some characters share stages with some re-colors to save even more space (To get recolor they just changed a few color values and that's it) So that why Ken is in the subway.. Basically just to save space.
I'm not a music expert, but I think it's an Alto Sax that leads in the 1st mix accompanied by a Tenor Sax, then the Tenor Sax plays the lead in the 2nd mix accompainied by the Alto Sax, then at the start of the 3rd mix, the xylophone takes the lead for a short time. Then everything else joins in at the end.
Years back, when I had this on DreamCast, I recorded the songs via AV cables, and mixed them in Audacity. I uploaded them to YT, then someone commented that my tracks didn't have a bass to them. Sure enough, they didn't. And I had them transition so perfectly. :-(
After defeating Gill in the events of SF3, Alex would return to the streets of NYC. Over the years, Alex would rejoin the wrestling circuit and dominate the East Coast Wrestling scene. Perfecting his street fighting and wrestling skills, Alex would become one hell of a champion wrestler, but also a bare knuckle fighter, winning championships in that as well. Down the line, he reminisced about his battle against Ryu, whom he lost to years ago. He also thought about all of the opponents he faced in his younger years. One night, while sitting at a bar, an advertisement would come on tv, about the Street Fighter 6 tournament coming up. Feeling that he wants another battle with his old rival Ryu, Alex, craving the competition, decides to step back into the SF Ring to show some of the newcomers his skill. Outfit for Alex Green Cargo pants. Red Bandana with face paint like he had in SF3. Timberland 🥾. Red lumberjack hooded jacket. Red & Green Gloves. Vanilla Ice like haircut. Full beard. Hoop earrings.
+Math ! (Rocko Dogso) i heard different. that there will be ssf5. reason being is that those versions will be on the xbox as well. so they dont alienate the gamers totally.
+MLG SkrubLord Not worth it, it's about a total of 2000 online matches just to unlock a single char, 2000 x 6 = 12,000 online matches (and counting future DLC). I respect ANYONE who buys all DLC without real life currency. You kinda have to have no life to, honestly.
I feel like Bill Murray just punked me because no one will believer this, but holy shit. I'm playing this track on my phone while bullshiting on fightcade. I have the 3s announcer on shuffle to play all his character select clips when I get a text. @2:03 of this video I get a text and the music stops. "YEAH. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!" and the music starts back up. That was way more hype than anything SF4 has given me in the past 7 years. Never let this game die.
I love this theme. Smooth hip-hop and Jazz combined from the 90s NYC style. Awesome! I find myself raising my fist in the air and posing like Run after a vicyory!
Man i first started playing street fighter when third strike came out, and when i heard this i had to go to the top of mount everest and scream" THIS IS GODS WORK IN THE FORM OF MUSIC" man i cant help but lissin to this song allday and i remixed it for christ sake..
BEST street fighter ever! had it on dreamcast! loved ken and the blonde guys stage and elena or African girls stage or whatever her name is wont forget this. played this in high school alot
This is something you could rap to like off the back. this right here gives me that jazzy day and night feeling like being back in the nineties and just walking down the streets.
Ive been listening to this track since before Curren$y. Props to him for sampling this though!! Very clever. Probably only rapper to sample street fighter.
I think Premier has sampled Street Fighter before. I know there was at least 1 producer that has but I can't remember. He was on the I Am Street Fighter 25th anniversary documentary.
Dude, your English is better than most. Theres nothing wrong with your sentence thus far. Besides, no ones here to monitor English grammar. We are all here to listen to this fan-tabulous track! Alex and Ken ROCK!!!
My mom purchased for me the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, I played Third Strike and I played with my favorite character Ken and I went against Alex and I fell in love with this theme along with the game. So many memories. It would be cool if ITunes sold these themes
No Question, Cheverlet My obsession, Every month I gotta get one, This Check will cop my next one, Corvette Selection, Monte Carlo Collection, but that El Camino Classic Perfection! Also Kairu always been making some cold 3rd strike remixes for years, Proud of him for that song.

Oh I didn't know that
That sax...
*MY GOD, THAT SAX IS THE STUFF OF LEGEND*
90s fight games had some pretty great sax tracks, like Arashi no Saxophone from KoF.
+Garrett Thomas HELL YEAH!!!
+Garrett Thomas don't forget Jon talbains victory theme in darkstalkers. ☺
And of course we can't forget about that legendary sax solo in Charlie's arranged theme from SF Alpha
It what makes Big Band parries so good~

The fact I hear this song a million times in battle and still come back to it in my free time is amazing!

Maybe because they're both the Americans in the game lmao
Best street fighter game ever!! Nothing more...
Agreed
Strong runner up is EX Plus Alpha
why do ppl hate the ex series i dont understand and what do you think about ex3?
That title belongs to street fighter 5 ;)

I'm not a music expert, but I think it's an Alto Sax that leads in the 1st mix accompanied by a Tenor Sax, then the Tenor Sax plays the lead in the 2nd mix accompainied by the Alto Sax, then at the start of the 3rd mix, the xylophone takes the lead for a short time. Then everything else joins in at the end.
The way I see this song Ken is the main sax melody and Alex is the smooth backing as well as the xylophone. A solid mix of their personalities.
the rhythm section in this track absolutely slays
Yo its me time traveller here just wanted to say this is an absolute bop of a song.
This song really puts the 'Street' in Street Fighter. Great track!
Today, this awesome game was released back in the '99, May 12. Happy Birthday, 3rd Strike!
I get on the E train at 42nd st to this song. #NewYorkers.

Years back, when I had this on DreamCast, I recorded the songs via AV cables, and mixed them in Audacity. I uploaded them to YT, then someone commented that my tracks didn't have a bass to them. Sure enough, they didn't. And I had them transition so perfectly. :-(
Yoooo I wanna hear those mixes straight up!
This. This is the MOTHERFCKIN' VIBE ☕.
I remember blasting this track when I was in NYC in the summer. Anywhere I go: streets, subway, stores, it fits
Dear god, the thought of getting my boy Alex back in a few weeks gets me so hype! Just give him a sick remix of this theme and I'm set.
After defeating Gill in the events of SF3, Alex would return to the streets of NYC. Over the years, Alex would rejoin the wrestling circuit and dominate the East Coast Wrestling scene. Perfecting his street fighting and wrestling skills, Alex would become one hell of a champion wrestler, but also a bare knuckle fighter, winning championships in that as well.

The absolute best track in Street Fighter 3! 20 Years later and I still get hyped when I hear it!
Greatest Song In Street Fighter History.
THEY BROUGHT INIFINITE (THE RAPPER FOR THIRD STRIKE) BACK FOR EVO WITH THIS AS THE TRACK
Hopefully Capcom doesn't mess this up in Street Fighter V.
Yes, Alex was leaked to be in the first wave of DLC.
+hofboys3 you can still get alex for free when he is relesed

This will always be the best OST. Always.

This really does put me back in the 90's... Everytime I listen I almost cry man ;~;
For me 3rd strike always has been the REAL street fighter 3
yeah, I know what you mean. The song can loop on forever with that 1st mix, and it would never get old.
its a honour to reply to a comment thats older then me
