This is her original theme from SF IV:

Notice how there's actually a melody in there, and like, progression and shit.

The SF V rendition sounds like a teenager messing around in FL Studio for 10 minutes.

This is sick af but it's comparing apples to oranges lol

(Although I do like this a lot better)

 

[Razzorn34]

Hillside Plaza is still the best theme in SFV

.

 

[Lulubop]

SF5 has themes that stand out cause they suck.

SF4 had themes that stood out cause they were actually good.

Says a lot about the quality of the OSTs for both games.

[Moaradin]

Kanzuki Beach is my personal favorite theme in the game. So good. Karin's theme was my favorite before that one.

Karin has all the best music

 

[taa0098]

It's drum and bass. It's all about fat bass and syncopated beats.

Juri's theme? It's definitely not drum and bass, it's more like minimalistic house music.

Karin has all the best music

Agreed, her main theme is my favorite song in the game by far. I have it set to my main screen song even, though the default main screen theme is also really good.

[BlizzKrut]

This is the only track I don't like in the OST, everything else is gold, much better than IV.

I generally agree

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I think Juri's theme is a pretty cool piece of music but it doesn't work that well as background for a fighting game with loud ass sound effects. With headphones on I can hear all kinds of things that are completely lost in a real match, although admittedly I don't play very loud these days.

Also it sounds like dance music for insects which is gross and creepy, like Juri.

 

[Hutchie]

Sfiv ost wasnt great and sfv's is far better

Hd remix shows how classic themes should be reimagined.

Ps ken theme >>>> guile always and forever

 

[petran79]

if you want Techno tunes for a female fighting game character, then this should be the theme

OP is right. That theme is awful. It's nowhere close to the one from IV.

Is she wearing an eye-patch in V now?

 

[lucebuce12]

She is but she takes it off whenever she activates her V-Trigger (which is the Feng Shui Engine)

 

[Neoxon]

After Bison stole Juri's FSE eye, she keeps the eyepatch as a line of protection for her replacement eye (an Alpha version of the FSE eye). It comes off whenever Juri activates her V-Trigger or does her Critical Art.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I agree OP. Actually no, I don't 100% agree. It's not terrible like Sagat's SF1 theme, but it's so terribly unremarkable. I guess her SF4 theme was just more my cup of tea.

 

[Lucumo]

But she didn't have one in IV, any explanation for the change between the titles? The eye-patch looks...really, really awful. It's like they just took whatever started getting popular (for whatever reason) in anime five years ago.

 

[Akibared]

I hate to be that guy, but I enjoy it.

Of course, best fighting game soundtrack goes to Tekken 2.

https://youtu.be/fGfCFpKFRLU

Best song in the game!

 

[Synth]

I actually like it. Kinda reminds me of Tekken 2 for some reason.

I don't mind it (definitely not gonna fight for its honor though), but I can't see how you're getting Tekken 2 vibes from it.

Tekken 2's music is godlike.

 

[Nishastra]

I like it a lot. Reminds me of the PSX Ghost in the Shell game a bit.

 

[Bergerac]

It's techno. That's what techno sounds like.

Most people are abolute pedestrians however that 'like a nice tune', don't understand nuance, and won't consider something to be musical unless it conforms to their popularist bloated melodies and accessible pop chord phrasings.

I'm sure you love arpeggiated synths though...

 

[Htown]

its all build up.......it never gets started.

I mean it's not a good tune really , sounds like a DJ was at a club and had to go take a shit so he couldn't actually drop the bass or do anything interesting with the tune.

It's pretty bad. I like the intro but the song doesn't go anywhere and it's overall pretty boring.

I was thinking "the intro is fine so far" and then it never ended.

lmao this is how I felt too. I was waiting for the real tune to kick in, but it never did lol.

Never heard Juri's SFV theme before this thread because I haven't encountered her online, but yea, I don't really like that theme. Like someone else mentioned, was waiting for the "intro" to end, but it never did.

I don't know if it's the worst, but it's annoying. Like someone here said, it's all build up, no drop.

[RK9039]

It's the worst theme in the game imo. A bit bland but I guess that fits Juri.

 

[Bergerac]

A genre like techno, or others like ambient/drone etc, that deal in persistent states, just separates those with attention span from those without.

 

[NastyBook]

Tekken Tag 2 also had the right idea.

sanodg, the last of the Namco Sound Team greats, putting the team on his back. The switch up from ambient to bass is just, well, heavenly.

 

[Zombegoast]

Just because Juri's theme is based on a specific genre dosent mean it will automatically be good. Capcpom did a complete 180 and was for the worse. It represents nothing who Juri is.

This is basically how I feel when I read most comments about Streets of Rage 3's soundtrack.

As mentioned earlier, it is shown in Juri's SFV Story (which takes place before "A Shadow Falls", the Season 1 Cinematic Story) that Bison stole Juri's FSE eye. It also shows Juri getting a replacement from the Abandoned S.I.N. Laboratory, which turned out to be an alpha version of her previous FSE eye.

Keep in mind that SFV is after SFIV & before SFIII.

Yikes.....

 

[djtiesto]

Bring back minimalist techno in games. feast your ears on the greatest video game soundtrack of the 90s

I don't really recall too many games with minimal on the soundtrack. I think Wipeout Pulse (or was it Pure?) had a Loco Dice song on it though but other than that, not too much is coming to mind.

There's plenty of techno tracks with appergiated synth melodies though... (Vince Watson baby!)

Ah, ok. I misread that at first which was the reason why I was confused.

 

[Neoxon]

As stated earlier, the eyepatch is just a means to protect her FSE eye from being stolen again, though her V-Trigger & Critical Art will destroy said eyepatch.

Me when I hear someone shit of the SOR3 soundtrack

 

[nded]

Kanzuki Beach is my personal favorite theme in the game. So good. Karin's theme was my favorite before that one.

Karin has all the best music

Don't forget Kanzuki Beach Round 2.

 

[Akainu]

If you told me this was from vectorman I'd believe you.

 

[Fitts]

I was surprised by Juri's theme in V. Not at all what I would expect, but I like it a lot. I like it more than any theme from IV save for Poison's (my fav from the IV series) and maybe Viper's and... well, Juri's.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Sets the mood it's trying to set.

Intense, ominous, pyscho incoming.

I like it.

I also liked her SF4 theme for different reasons.

I like both.

If you told me this was from vectorman I'd believe you.

Nothing wrong with that.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Desk composed a remix of Juri's theme. Sounds kinda old school. Not sure if the intent was to recapture that CPS2 sound, but I do like it.

[cakely]

Finally got to listen to the music from this thread ...

It's gotta be up there right?

Ok, it turns out I like that theme. Sorry, OP.

Street Fighter 1 - Sagat Theme

And that one! Actually that's pretty great. I see what they're going for, anyway.

This is

But not that one... that warped cassette tape sound, I actually did laugh out loud there.

 

[synce]

I've always been a huge Juri fan and not only do I think it represents her perfectly, I think it's easily the best theme from SF5
