I guess shit taste needs shit logic to justify it, but whatever. If I have to list every fucking fighting game created on Earth to remind you if it has a great soundtrack, then it obviously sucks. You mean themes like Cap’s, Spidey’s, and X-23’s, AKA your favorites? I can’t say that about a lot of other games, especially when characters like Tekken’s Wang, Panda, Jack(s), Ogre, and Roger Jr., etc. An artist may have the best song ever made but if the rest of the album sucks, who cares? In general, UMVC3’s is pretty damn good. Unless you absolutely hate UMVC3’s style of music.Īnd you can’t say that because it doesn’t have the best fighting game song ever, it’s invalid. The soundtrack for the most part is fun, wild, and fitting for such a fast-paced game. Overall, I’d say it’s tough to beat when you compare it to other fighters track by track. It’s strength comes from the huge list of overall great themes to compliment the large cast. I’ll go so far as to say it doesn’t even have the best song in a fighting game but there are so many tracks from which you could easily compose a playlist that trumps those of other fighting games. Now, not every song in UMVC3 is great – in fact, some suck. Same goes for Darkstalkers, SF, Tekken, X-Men vs SF, and countless others… but they have a lot of tracks you may absolutely hate – forgettable themes that Chun Li, Hsien-ko, Marduk, and other characters are guilty of possessing. Yes, King of Fighters (especially '99 w/ tracks like “Tears”, “Esaka”, “Way to Rebirth” and… Holy Crap, I’m starting to doubt UMVC3 now) has awesome music. Okay, I may have jumped the gun there in claiming UMVC3 has the best vg soundtrack of all time, so I altered my thread title, but I’d still suggest that it has one of if not the best fighting game soundtracks out of sheer quantity of awesome tracks. If we’re talking general video game soundtracks? Not even in the Top 100.
#MORTAL KOMBAT CHAOTIC FAN GAME SOUNDTRACK SERIES#
It’s bottom of the barrel in terms of music.** WTF you smoking? You have the audacity to trash UMVC3 and then suggest MK series is as a music powerhouse? 0/10.Īs far as fighting games go, I’d argue it’s nowhere near the Top 10. Not to mention the millions of crossovers Capcom, SNK, etc. **You think the consensus outside the diehard MK fanbase would argue that is has better music than series such as… SF? no. I’m so sure Ed Boon is sweating bullets worrying about if MK fans are going to like the game’s new tracks over the tweaked fighting mechanics & fatalities. In fact, unless you can bring up some more fighters in mind, I can’t think of a notable fighter with worse music than MK because it’s not music at all it’s ambiance. I guess I’m not like you in that I have an open mind and appreciation for almost all types of music - except MK’s - and musical genres. I wouldn’t be surprised if you own a copy of Killer Instinct Cuts considering your taste in music. Seriously, what’s with MK’s soundtracks? They’re for the most part generic as hell. UMVC3 is like a remix greatest hits of notable Capcom fighting franchises.
What’s wrong with remixes when composed with different interpretation? Nothing. And was it so bad that they rearranged and remixed it for the KOF series countless times? So, A+ to SNK and Capcom. Nothing wrong with a little Pop here and there. I could say Psycho Soldier’s main Arcade theme is rife with Pop-Poop but why would I? It fits the lighthearted nature of the game. X-23’s track suits her – and it’s a nice and unexpected addition to an already exciting series. Not to mention listing X-23 in one of your favorites? I’ll say that KOF stands out as a series that produces some of my favorite soundtracks in the fighting game genre as well.Īnd since when in the Netherealm would anybody ever suggest that Mortal Kombat – old school especially – has great music? Great games but **let’s watch out who or what we call fraudulent when putting MUSIC & MORTAL KOMBAT in the same sentence. Since “GREATEST” and “BEST” are big no-no’s in these forums. It’s certainly the best soundtrack of all the MVC games, remixes duly noted. I’d still rank it up there with the best of them (the fighters, of course). You know what, I still don’t find UMVC3’s soundtrack to be all that bad. Y’ALL HELPED ME SEE THE LIGHT AS DANTE HAD IN DMC (WITH TEARS OF SORROW)Īs they say in Street Figher II… YOW WIN! 100,000 PTS. Don’t let a favorite fighting game make you bias. Some of my favorite themes old and new include those of the following characters: Phoenix Wright, Captain America, Spider-Man, Bionic Commando, X-23, and of course Dante.Īs far as best fighting game goes… hell no! But that’s not what this topic is about. This game introduced so many cool new tracks that suit their characters well. Even if you’re not the greatest player in the world, you’ll seriously enjoy the music in the game as you get pummeled into the ground by top tier fighters.
