I've never been a boxer fan or even care much for him, but this is the BEST theme in the game right now. The blend of everything in the theme is perfect and fitting for this character. Makes me want to pick up Balrog as a main.
Balrog had amazing character development in Street Fighter 5, seeing his more caring side around Ed was so nice and proof that he's capable of empathy and I think this theme reflects that ❤
At this time, we are up through Dan's release in SFV. For me, Balrog's theme is in my top 10 favorites in the SFV cast. It's just such a jam to fight to.
This is one of my fav theme in SF franchise, And I love these parts 1:311:49 Edit: I realized that this theme was mixed of three themes from his previous three. SF2, SF4 and SF Alpha 3. Also amazing.
I never liked SF5 but the day Balrog was announced I was so hyped only to be salty at how garbage the game felt. A shame because Rog is an amazing character in it and his theme goes hard. I haven't tried 6 yet and will wait a bit to see if he ever comes back as DLC. I'll await your return, my king.
When I want to feel "strong" to do a difficult task that requires a certain amount of physical effort, I just put this song on and the adrenaline and excitement soon start to flow through my veins! What a sensational theme!
1:16 they brought back the "WE GON TAKE YO WALLET" if you dont know what im saying go to sf4 balrog's theme and go 50 seconds in and youll hear voices kinda saying We Gon Take You Wallet
oh oh oh that body, your body of brow where you got that body of brow? oh oh oh that body your body of brow where you got that body of brow? so, between your wallet between your wallet, mirror will be that eye between your wallet between your wallwt, mirror will be that eye we didn t take your wallet we didn t take your wallet dude, did you think it was a black?, cmon we didn t take your wallet we didn t take your wallet close your eyes, and we didn t take your wallet oh oh we didn t take your wallet we didn t take your wallet dude, did you think it was a black?, cmon we didn t take your wallet we didn t take your wallet close your eyes, and we didn t take your wallet oh oh (this is what say in balrog theme sf4)
Great artist need rest so most flashbacks can be covered by interns! Flashbacking is a period of rest for the main animators So get hyped cause these flash back episodes are well put in place with cliff notes!
It is no coincidence that the original name for Balrog was actually Mike Bison. Native Americans called black warriors "Buffalo Soldiers" because of our hair and our unstoppable will and rage in battle, traits akin to a sacred spirit of their culture. In fact, look up the buffalo animal totem. Humped shoulders indicate enormous reserves of stored up power which can be released all in an instant.
BUT to avoid a lawsuit with Mike Tyson, Capcom USA had to rotate the names a little. "Balrog" became "Vega," "Vega" became "M. Bison," and "M. Bison" became "Balrog".
What the heck are you talking about?! Yes, it's no coincidence Balrog's name was Mike Bison because he was Mike, the Boxer from Street Fighter 1. Capcom had to change it stateside because Mike Tyson who the character was modelled after held the license in the US and it wouldn't have been a copyright infringement violation. Nintendo also had to drop Tyson from PunchOut because of the licensing and copyright, hence Balrog and Mr. Dream. Need to put the pipe down before hitting the UA-cam comments man lol.
I mean, considering how there's a female wrestler who uses Sakura's theme in SF4 as her entrance them, I assume Capcom is fine with it so I'd like to see it used one day in boxing, or maybe mixed martial arts considering how Balrog cheats in boxing
Hearing this song means only one thing: you are going to fucking die. Resistance is futile, because you WILL, eventually, get hit once and immediately lose the match.
When I see barlog for the first time, I immediately thought that he is some kind of hero that should been working hard for be what he is now, I definetly don't think that barlog's design is good for being a villain lmao
Echoing some other comments, this DOES sound like it's the right tune to accompany the first heroic fight of Balrog's life. Stepping into the ring to throw down with M. Bison to protect Ed, and show ol' Dictator why he's the champ and Bison's the chump, and then drive off into the sunset together in a truck full of fight money.

I thought of something more tragic. Bison takes over ed's body and balrog tries to beat bison out of his body. Trying to call for ed while fighting. Probably by calling him weak for letting bison taking over his body or something.
Not to mention Balrog’s name actually was supposed to be M. Bison (a nod to his inspiration Mike Tyson) but they decided to give it to the final boss and give the boxer another name.. Balrog!
this sounds like the theme thats play when balrog pulls a face-turn and punches M.bison when hes close to conquering the world and finally realizes the full weight of what he's been helping with, and finally decides to use his fists for good
I think they're setting that up for a later game since Balrog ended up caring about Ed after he rescued him showing that even though he's greedy Balrog still has some humanity in him unlike Vega who murders innocent people because he thinks they're ugly and only saved the Dolls because he thought them beautiful, projecting his own narcissism onto them. And then there's Bison who's pure evil.

no need to make him a good guy, even a guy who only cares about money will eventually realize all the money hes getting is worthless if someone takes over the whole world and enslaves the planet.

Oh loved that Death Battle episode ❤️
And the weird thing is it came out around the time of Mayweather vs McGregor.
@@mikailthomas1466 really? You don’t say
@Galaxy Rider dead serious Mayweather V McGregor like a week later.
"I'm the one who taught ya how to make a fist. Now it seems ya got some life in yer punches...
Not bad, kid."
When you here this theme you know smug is coming for ur points in SFV
You hear this you boutta get duffed
EXEMACUTION
Capcom outdid themselves with Balrog in this game, he is just godlike, his new moves, his crazy rush, so satisfying!
You also forget his redesign, like that hoodie is so great
@@frosteex6706 I never did, Capcom outdid themselves with the new design. Fuck yes!
Si è vero ma era forte già prima con le mosse vecchie
I've never been a boxer fan or even care much for him, but this is the BEST theme in the game right now. The blend of everything in the theme is perfect and fitting for this character.
Makes me want to pick up Balrog as a main.
His name is MIKE BISON!
Tee Vang. As great as this theme is, Ken's theme is still the best in the game.
His Brother is Mike Tyson
@@skyblade7438 Nah, this theme it's better
Vega's theme tho 🥵
alpha 3 theme at 1:48
Holy shit,that is awesome!! :D
I definitely didn't pick up on that.
Correct my friend
Thanks bc the beginning is......blephgkl
But Balrog didn't appear in Alpha 3
Balrog had amazing character development in Street Fighter 5, seeing his more caring side around Ed was so nice and proof that he's capable of empathy and I think this theme reflects that ❤
why is balrog so fucking cool in this game?
a lot of chars that werent cool before are now to me..m especially guile
And Dhalsim
Yeah they almost COMPLETELY revamped him. Props to Capcom for making him more than "muh fight moniiiiiies"
HES ALWAYS BEEN COOL
He's really cool but I can't get over his face it kinda ruins him for me
I love how Capcom put that little throwback to his Alpha 3 music in here. Superb work.
At this time, we are up through Dan's release in SFV. For me, Balrog's theme is in my top 10 favorites in the SFV cast.
It's just such a jam to fight to.
Balrog has one of the best themes in this game. Easily top 10 or even 5 in my opinion.
Man this sounds like Balrog’s redemption moment.
They should've included this theme in Ed's story.
Jhoe lowkey it kinda works because even balrog got some character development
Balrog is a father figure now. at least was
More like when Dictator stiffed him of his fight money on payday: HEROIC BOXER ACTIVATED.
We might get that in 6 if they decide to focus more on neo shadaloo
One of the best themes in the game bar none, and the best Balrog theme, too.
He also has the best stage theme in this game the Golden Bullion! They really did him justice in this game!
This is one of my fav theme in SF franchise, And I love these parts 1:31 1:49
Edit: I realized that this theme was mixed of three themes from his previous three. SF2, SF4 and SF Alpha 3. Also amazing.
I hear some voices too it
@@MrBrandonStar Yep, I couldn't hear what he said at all but it's amazing

I'll await your return, my king.
Man i hope (Balrog) my main makes it into 6 as DLC atleast
Same
We need at least one of the villain charge characters, rog, bison or vega
Wow love what you did here sounds like his last heroic fight of his life no better words is right
When I want to feel "strong" to do a difficult task that requires a certain amount of physical effort, I just put this song on and the adrenaline and excitement soon start to flow through my veins! What a sensational theme!
This sounds like he's on an epic quest.
For his fight money.
The part just before the midlength of the track is a grand call back to SFA 3. Fits so well
I have a lot respect for boxers. They fear nobody and only need their fists.
The best version of all ❤️
Balrog is one of my best favorite characters that I used to destroy my opponents on street fighter
This song would be perfect to use in either a roller rink or a nightclub.
the song that plays when you boutta bite someones ear off in the moment
THIS GAME IS 1 IN A MILLION AMAZING EVERYTHING ABOUT IT
1:16 they brought back the "WE GON TAKE YO WALLET"
if you dont know what im saying go to sf4 balrog's theme and go
50 seconds in and youll hear voices kinda saying We Gon Take You Wallet
This is the best theme Balrog ever had. Feels too heroic, but it is awesome
Some hajime no ippo shit
Sorry Balrog, I don’t give credit. Come back when you’re a little... MMMMM... Bison.
Where has this song been all my life!
thanks siluman-senpai
Love it. Favorite part has gotta be at 1:01.

PR Balrog's main character is back!
Balrog's SFV and CPS-2 themes are perfect workout music
Reminds me of 90's Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct tracks.
I'm saying this with 4 years of retrospect but this sounds like something that would play when Balrog decks M.Bison to save Ed or something.
Saw this comment earlier, but here it goes again. At 1:17 “We didn’t take your wallet”
He got his fight money back 😳
When you're not the main character, hell, not even the main villain, and your theme still beats the crap of theirs, AND takes their fight money
I dunno mate, Ryu's theme is a banger
@@JosephFlores-yn4yi It is, but between Balrog, Guile, and Ken, does Ryu's still stand tall
@@kamikaze4172 yeah id say they are even aside from Guile's
Mike Tyson V
It's Mike Bison, get it right
Can't wait to see the new iteration of this in SFVI
They are adding "new" themes but it's all homogenized with the same style and no specific individuality.
That guy with the dual megaphones is me jamming out to this song
canelo vs GGG with this music
el tema mas badass de todo el juego...
Great artist need rest so most flashbacks can be covered by interns! Flashbacking is a period of rest for the main animators So get hyped cause these flash back episodes are well put in place with cliff notes!
It is no coincidence that the original name for Balrog was actually Mike Bison. Native Americans called black warriors "Buffalo Soldiers" because of our hair and our unstoppable will and rage in battle, traits akin to a sacred spirit of their culture. In fact, look up the buffalo animal totem. Humped shoulders indicate enormous reserves of stored up power which can be released all in an instant.
BUT to avoid a lawsuit with Mike Tyson, Capcom USA had to rotate the names a little. "Balrog" became "Vega," "Vega" became "M. Bison," and "M. Bison" became "Balrog".
Yep.

hazel goodshepherd What?
Balrog is confirmed to not be Mike, and was never intended to be Mike lol
Balrog's 'I'm a dad now' theme.
fuck if this isnt hype af
This theme would be awesome for an entrance of a boxer
I mean, considering how there's a female wrestler who uses Sakura's theme in SF4 as her entrance them, I assume Capcom is fine with it so I'd like to see it used one day in boxing, or maybe mixed martial arts considering how Balrog cheats in boxing
Psycho Power, Dark Hadou... Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
so they could make this but do shit with Juris theme?

@@CrystallineWisdom You're a simp
Her beat is nice and bassy, but that's about it, lol. I'm appalled at how they butchered Juri's theme.

Anyone else wanna know what the static voices and chorus are actually saying?
Yes
this is amazing

Hearing this song means only one thing: you are going to fucking die. Resistance is futile, because you WILL, eventually, get hit once and immediately lose the match.
3000 punch challenge to this song
Who's here just for " Fromhumantogod "
Money, power and women all rolled up into a 4 minute song
for those that don't know this is Mike Bison(Tyson)
That's it punk! You mess with Ed and ya pay the price!
Merci Efkan
*MAH FIGHT MONEY!!*
sorry but the developer can remix, modify, diversify as they want to but it will never come close to the streetfighter 2 theme on snes. it's unique
Nice song
Balrog is the king of the ring
GET OFF ME!!
Is Barlog coming back in SF6?
I hope he will with Vega and Sagat
Maybe as DLC at some point
Haha your punches are like flies slapping my face ! Try a little harder next time , champ !
Iwate's theme.
HYAAAOOOOOWWWW HYAAAOOOOOWWWW Your Lady~~
This is dope
If the good guys payed him more, he might switch sides
Balrog's theme should of be Respeck by Birdman
Good song too

In japanese dub only thing i can hear is: "Imma Luigi now!!!!"
La mejor version del tema de barlog creo que es la de sf4
Not bad
Mike Bison!!!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I know he’s a villain, but there’s just something very inspirational about this song to me
Everyone of his songs
listen to dg max's cover for it, soooo goood
I don’t think he’s a villain though xD
When I see barlog for the first time, I immediately thought that he is some kind of hero that should been working hard for be what he is now, I definetly don't think that barlog's design is good for being a villain lmao

Sounds like Balrog's last heroic fight of his life.
@AntiStrike4088 even at 1:16 - 1:30 it sounds like it can merge into Ryu's theme. Then its quickly goes back into its muffled rapping & chaotic nature
loved how u got ur ass kicked by wendy
Make that his first and last heroic fight
Can't imagine Balrog beign heroic, tho the song fits it
The first and only
I'm not much of a Balrog fan, but his classic theme is just one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES in fighting game music. This remix is BADASS.
147 likes and no replies? lemme change that. absolutely agreed.
I can imagine Balrog doing his best to save Ed from Bison, and this music playing in the background.
Yeah that would've been so cool. Sfv's story mode was so disappointing imo.
