It’s accurate to fighting Ryu in this game. Even though he’s a mid tier in this game he can still pose a threat to other characters. Especially if he’s using his nuke DP super art and you make a crucial mistake
In my MUGEN roster, I have Ryu to randomly be chosen as a sub-boss during the Arcade Mode. Originally I had used his SF2 theme, but after listening to this one I found it much more fitting both for Ryu as a character and as a boss character. (Though me accidentally using his SF3 stage unknowingly didn’t help)
I love the darker feeling Third Strike has over the other SF games. 4 and 5 are a bit too cartoony. I always got this apocalyptic feeling from Third Strike that I wish they'd bring back. This Ryu theme in contrast to his regular one just proves my point
@Rasuke11 look at your comment. Then look at mine. You getting angry over my opinion shows your stupidity more than anything else. Get a life. It's just a game idiot.
yeah, I kind of got an apocalyptic and cyberpunk kind of vibe, especially with characters like Remy, twelve, Q and stages like that club scene one. overall my favorite Street fighter
They did use this theme in SF5. In the last fight of the story mode: A Shadow Falls. The song playing in the background between Ryu and Ken is actually a mixture of Ryu’s classic theme and his 3rd strike theme
I actually thought Ryu to be the most boring of the cast, he's was very blend to me when growing up. I always played Guile or Chun Li in SF2, fell in love with Ken and Alex in SF3, and in SFV I play Guile, Poison and Juri. He's cool tho
Ahh, the stoic look. It reminds me of a philosopher and a monk in mediation looking for internal peace as Siddtharta Gautama did in the 5th century B.C. . . It also reminds me of how a martial artist dedicates himself to his training and to find spiritual guidance within the fist and palm and through practice and desire to get stronger from experience and criticism.
For me personally this is the definitive Ryu theme - it embodies the true martial spirit. Focus, discipline and slow progression through repetition. The indomitable spirit of the Zen practitioner - Often my own training music! Was never a fan of the his 'heroic' original music - this truly expresses his personality.
You described it very well here, and I have to agree. I feel like the first phase represents the wisdom and mysticism of his character, how Ryu uses martial arts as a way to find his true purpose and meaning in life. And then, the second phase comes in, representing how Ryu is also a total badass and experienced, incredibly skilled warrior. It's great.
@@aesir1ases64 Musically, the first theme sounds like a jingle. The very simple melodies of SF2 are far too juvenile and repetitive to be a good for a fighting game. The Third Strike music's emphasis on rhythm and flow is way better for getting into the groove.
Actually, I'd dare and say this is the best Ryu theme for me. The intro goes smoothly, with Japanese flavor in the instruments. Calm, just as the first round of a fight would be. As the tune switches to the second round, there in an upbeat, still maintaning the calm and focused aspect of the song. By the third round the music fully develops to a perfect tune for a real and equal match!
Okay, past would have said, “OMG you like this trash and not sf2 ryu theme you need to educated!” But now I love this theme, I think a lot of people know sf2 more than 3rd Strike so when people hear this they are confused but yeah I love this theme
One of the things that street fighter forgot is that the game is literally about fighters that go around the world fighting in the streets, and street fighter III 3rd Strike manages to give that dark feel of the streets
If we think about how SF3 takes place after SFV, then this feels like a fitting theme for Ryu here. The past themes felt like they represent Ryu's perilous and tough journey of overcoming the Satsui no Hado, the inner demon within him. The SF6 theme represents the victory and celebration of conquering the Satsui no Hado while this theme represents how Ryu is now at peace knowing that the biggest obstacle of his path to strength is finally gone. But the Round 2 version of this song shows that even though he has overcome the inner demon within him, that part is only the beginning. Although the Satsui No Hado no longer haunts him anymore, he still remains steadfast on the journey to great, pure strength. And even when he thinks he has achieved his goal, he will still always push forward with every fight and battle to become the greatest warrior ever. Not for fame and glory, but for pride and honour as a fighter. A Street Fighter.
first assessment is right on. but the sf6 conclusion falls apart if you actually played SF3 2nd impact where akuma calls out ryu being free of satsui. in fact being angry at ryu for letting it go completely. in fact already on his way to becoming a master. it started here. not in sf6. in sf3 there is no evil ryu. just ryu pure and free. while the bank heist movie sf6 theme represents ryu going to the clubs. or gettin ready to rob a bank. lmaoo. 😆😔 thanks capcom. appreciate it!!
@@y0gafire SF6 Ryu's theme is triumphant and energetic, showing his triumph over the Satsui no Hadou and his constant energy and activity. Also, Ryu robbing a bank would probably be an explanation of how he gets the money to afford all his perfect sets of white gi. He even has the strength to defend himself from anyone trying to stop him. If it wasn't confirmed that Ken just gave him a credit card that he manages for him, I'd fully believe that Ryu just steals from the bank regularly.
Ryu is the epitome of what a man can become when he reach the levels of perfection , calm confident explosive methodic, all that depending on the situation.
I feel like gis sf6 theme shouldve been more like this, it really shows his calmness and would be a good representation of him mastering the power of nothingness
I swear, the hip hop driven and 90's rave inspired break beats on the 3rd strike soundtrack hit so hard it feels like you just got clocked by Ryu himself. I love it.
I don't know anyone who wasn't hyped when seeing Ryu hit Shin Shoryuken for the first in in SF3 (shit was like seeing a classic anime style gut punch). Like him or not, Ryu with his basic design and all just has a way of making players feel something throughout the series with every little thing that gets added to him even the donkey kick looks bad ass!!!
When I first played street fighter 3 new generation I picked ryu and then did his shin shoryuken and was hyped to see the camera zoom in and the power of the dragon punch. What did it for me was the resounding thud the computer would land with after they came crashing down in a heap.
I used to find Ryu's theme boring in third strike, especially compared to the absolute bangers that are the rest of the soundtrack for this game (Crowded Street, jazzy NYC'99, Beats in my Head, You Blow My Mind, Killing Moon.. you get the idea ) but listening now, the song is really good and matches Ryu's character perfectly
I like the tempo of it, I play safe and slow while the song is calm and widdle the opponent down with kicks and haudokens but when it picks up I rush in and go for it
It took me some time to actually sit down and listen to the entire soundtrack of this amazing game love ryu and without a doubt a very good theme but that’s just my opinion keep on fighting
"To try something new is to explore your true potential." "A defeat learned from is more important than an empty victory." "It's better to conquer a hardship than to conquer nothing at all." "Every moment gives us a chance to become more than what we are." Every win quote Ryu has in this game would make for an amazing tattoo or motivational poster. He's an incredibly wise character in this game as somebody who felled his inner demons and is focused only on self-improvement. I think Ryu serves as a perfect role model more than any other main character, and there are some damn good ones out there
La diferencia de los themas de sf2 a sf3 son que, los temas del sf2 eran cortantes o seguian de largo, pero los temas del sf3 son dinamicos y van en conjunto con los rounds, no digo que los temas de sf2 sean malos pero los temas del sf3 se sienten que van totalmente acoplados al escenario y pelea mientras que los otros estan ahi sonando hasta que se acabe la pelea o el round. y si Ryu best Theme Forever.
This > sf 6 ryu theme. I really wish they remixed this theme for sf 6 instead. I do agree sf 2 ryu has been done a million times lets try something new but third strike has one.
@@blackout1524 how? this theme compared to the others is somewhat reserved but begins ramping up steadily with new elements placed within showing his resolve past overcoming his past while seeking out who he is and see's a brighter future of his outlook as a warrior. while before his Theme Rising Dragon was a great tone for his earlier far more emotional side as he grew stronger yet more susceptible to violence. and With Viator you see a mix of the younger energy of his past along with the rhythm and hopefulness of Kobu along with its own element to show that Ryu is full past the time of the Dark Hadou and is clearly in a far more happy state of being and then brings in other aspects of music between Japanese instrumentals and jazzy tunes.
i just wanna remind you that the reason why we got so many SF2 remixes was because SF has been basically remade multiple times now. There simply isn't a good reason why Kobu should just be remixed into SF6 because SF6 isn't SF3 it's a new game. trying to just repurpose Kobu is just going against what made Third strike such a classic, the fact that it's different.
I like this theme but man the arrange versions sound much better than the arcade versions and it’s pretty obvious that SF3 3rd strike was pushing the CPS3 hardware to its limit especially when the sound quality of SF3 2nd impact sounds better

We ALL should live by that way of life
I love how dark this theme is compared to Ryu's standard theme, like everything's at stake and there's no room for error, each second counts...
Wow so dark... jk no it aint it actually sounds happy your just a dumbass lol
It’s accurate to fighting Ryu in this game. Even though he’s a mid tier in this game he can still pose a threat to other characters. Especially if he’s using his nuke DP super art and you make a crucial mistake
Such a dope theme you both described it perfectly. This version of Ryu and this theme was too far ahead of it's time.
Now lets look at Alex's theme
Dark? No. Serious? HELL YEAH! and thats how Ryu Rolls my dudes
DENJIN!
CHCHCHCHCHC
HADOKEN!!!
*DIZZY SOUND*
SHORYUKEN!!
KAY OH!!
UUUHHHHAAAA
I love how it starts out calm and gets more intense as the rounds progress.
literally every song except for the Circuit which becomes less intense and makes you feel like Hugo became calmer and focused on fighting more
@@macdonald715 I feel like it goes from angry to creepy because you realize the absolute threat that Hugo is to your bones
this is probably the first and only time Ryu's theme has made him feel like a boss character in his own right
In my MUGEN roster, I have Ryu to randomly be chosen as a sub-boss during the Arcade Mode. Originally I had used his SF2 theme, but after listening to this one I found it much more fitting both for Ryu as a character and as a boss character.
(Though me accidentally using his SF3 stage unknowingly didn’t help)
Honestly this is an underrated theme
No matter what Ryu will always want to become stronger and strive for the perfect FIGHT.
Mr. Hayabusa Ryu wants to become stronger so he can control the Satsui no Hado. After all he is the son of Akuma and the Dark Hado is in his vein
Светлоносец Херой Wrong, he isn't Akuma's son.
well In the animated movies you can see that he is Akuma's son
Светлоносец Херой Not cannon.

The fact that it's currently the last one in the SF continuity makes the apocalyptic feeling even stronger tbh, I love this game
@Aaron9 why do you think a 3d artstyle is more mature than a 2d one by default??
No, seriously how did You get to that conclusion?
I actually prefer the more cartoony style of SF 4 myself, but I totally respect your opinion on 3.
They should have used this theme in SFV when he finally mastered mu-no-ken, becoming a master of his craft.
They did use this theme in SF5. In the last fight of the story mode: A Shadow Falls. The song playing in the background between Ryu and Ken is actually a mixture of Ryu’s classic theme and his 3rd strike theme
Am I the only one that just realized the theme of Birdie is similar to Kobu aka Ryu 3rd Strike theme?!?!
At 1:30 hearing that drop and seeing a ryu start charging just scares me no matter what
people can have favorites in the SF series...
but deep down, they all love ryu.
tell me that's not true ;)
If you think about it... it's true.
ryu is the godfather
nope
Ryu is the main man.
I actually thought Ryu to be the most boring of the cast, he's was very blend to me when growing up. I always played Guile or Chun Li in SF2, fell in love with Ken and Alex in SF3, and in SFV I play Guile, Poison and Juri. He's cool tho
Ahh, the stoic look. It reminds me of a philosopher and a monk in mediation looking for internal peace as Siddtharta Gautama did in the 5th century B.C. . . It also reminds me of how a martial artist dedicates himself to his training and to find spiritual guidance within the fist and palm and through practice and desire to get stronger from experience and criticism.
That was very philosophical.
This is my favorite version of Ryu by a long shot, he was so cool in this game

@@aesir1ases64 Musically, the first theme sounds like a jingle. The very simple melodies of SF2 are far too juvenile and repetitive to be a good for a fighting game. The Third Strike music's emphasis on rhythm and flow is way better for getting into the groove.
What is Your Rank/Level w/ Ryu In USFIV & SFV?
Actually, I'd dare and say this is the best Ryu theme for me. The intro goes smoothly, with Japanese flavor in the instruments. Calm, just as the first round of a fight would be. As the tune switches to the second round, there in an upbeat, still maintaning the calm and focused aspect of the song.

But it's too electronic. That is its main flaw. I think it could have been cooler with more natural sounds (flutes, strings, etc.) than those synths.
@@asamiyashin444 too electronic for you, but not for me, opinion is subjective and pointless arguing.
@@TheBloggme Don't forget that Ryu is a traditional martial artist. His stage is a castle. There is something called harmony.
The Grandfather of Fighting Games
Without question one of the best fighting game themes of all time.

Best Ryu's theme
One of the things that street fighter forgot is that the game is literally about fighters that go around the world fighting in the streets, and street fighter III 3rd Strike manages to give that dark feel of the streets

I feel like gis sf6 theme shouldve been more like this, it really shows his calmness and would be a good representation of him mastering the power of nothingness
Ryu actually looks better with a tan!
I like how it changes song genre's midway from traditional Japanese music to electronic trance
I swear, the hip hop driven and 90's rave inspired break beats on the 3rd strike soundtrack hit so hard it feels like you just got clocked by Ryu himself. I love it.
The first 1min30 Ryu was charging his Hadoken
Here after Max's video. This is a banger!
