This is easily the worst Street Fighter soundtrack. Every track just feels like it's retreading the same mood and instrumentals and they're all indistinguishable from one another. People were this desperate for new songs they praised this?

But Guy's theme is awesome.
Grayson Perez
Karin's and Rose's themes are the only one that stood out and not by much. Otherwise you're right, the themes from Alpha 2 and other crossover games were a lot better.

>desperate for new songs
EX series proved you could have different songs that don't suck. Alpha 3 was just hiring the wrong composers. ALL of the Alpha 3 composers were not previous Alpha game composers. But plenty of them actually worked on other SF franchises like 2 and 3. It must have been some experimental minimalist repetitive midi music autogenerated by simple pattern generator programs or some shit.

I can't tell whose idea it was to make the music suck, but they seriously wanted to make the music sound like pattern generated SNES quality midi music. It's just uninspired minimalist "experimental" shit that is bland and repetitive, like KOF2k1. It's stuff I composed at beginner level when I was just repeating the same chord patterns over and over with simple melodies or something.

They didn't even try with Alpha 3.

What's funny is that's Cammy's XvSF theme.

That'd be OG Street Fighter.

I like this one better.
the X-men one is better.
What kind of synth music was these anyway?
Justin Torres
XvSF has a pretty OST

Eww.
Zachary Gray
Dunno, but it's kind of like some of Final Fight's music.
Bentley Gonzalez
Whoops, that was in response to the XvSF link. Alpha 3 music is garbage. Its type of synth music is trash, and it belongs in a compactor.
Sebastian Reyes
For me it's Dan and Vega's even if Vega's is unfitting for this point in the story. It sounds like a song to play when his character arc is coming to a climax, not when he's a throwaway character in a prequel series.
Liam Baker
they wanted it sound like techno music. it actually fits with the game edgy style and gameplay.

so many early boners

Great. No wonder it's trash, that explains it.
Gabriel Brooks
I'm listening to the A3 OST once again to see if I could give it a fairer chance.
Nope.
Some of it sounds like it was probably gonna go somewhere with the music, some of it rang SLIGHT Vampire Savior vibes like Doll Eyes, but then it just went back and repeated the same shit over and over. Come on, even simple chromatic 3rd modulation would have worked. Goddamn.
Gabriel Lewis
3S is worse. Each tracks are extremely short, some like Elena's loop every 10 seconds.
Evan Nguyen

Even after I referenced EX in ? Geez.

They may be short, but the OST of 3s is miles better.
Ryu's and Remmy's themes are shit, but the rest is pretty good.
William Young
Even KOF proves you can have new themes that don't necessarily suck except KOFs between 2k1 and XI. People say "I'm tired of the old themes" but then you get Alpha 3 music, but this is not because they tried for something new, it's that they made something new that also just sucked.
Meanwhile, SNK had composers who'd give us something like Esaka?, Esaka Forever, and then motherfucking Tears and then Goodbye Esaka, each theme still oozing Kyo's personality. Same thing goes for Iori/Iori Team themes.
And they didn't have to just "match the mood" or whatever of some shitty aesthetic. Themes are meant to identify with the character, not conform them like shackles to some imprisoning theme where you can't tell anybody apart anymore like some nazi camp.

3s ost fucking sucks
there's like 3 good tracks and the rest is midi horn farts
Oliver Taylor
Pretty good, and not even the best Sakura theme.
Camden Ross
Edgy? Alpha 3 is basically a game show, it's possibly the least "edgy" fighting game in existence.
Easton Morris
are we talking about the same game?
