street fighter iii 3rd strike soundtrack

How the graphics were some of the finest 2D sprites in the 90s. How its complex parrying and combo systems unapologetically demanded memorization down to individual animation frames. How its intricate and technical combat mechanics set new standards for the fighting genre. How unappreciated it was in its time, simply because of its ridiculously steep learning curve. How fun it was despite the relatively small roster. I could spend hours waxing poetic about its incredible design.

Also, the OSTs for the first two SFIII games are pretty cool too especially after I found out that Okugawa sampled a portion of Lyn Collin’s 1972 hit “Think (about it)” for the Jazzy NYC (underground edit) found in SFIII: New Generation.įIRE!!!: WELCOME TO THE ORGY 005 (Mix) Search for: Recent Posts If you’re a true music head and are open to all forms of vibes then this soundtrack may be up your alley. Listening to the 20 plus year old collection of cuts provides very found memories of playing Third Strike at the University Pinball and Arcade in my neighborhood and in my bedroom once the game reached my favorite system of all time, Sega’s Dreamcast. Alex and Ken’s “Jazzy 99′”, Ibuki’s “Twilight”, Gill’s “Psyche Out”, and even the Player Select “Let’s Get It On” which featured Canadian underground rapper Infinite showcase Okugawa’s well versed knowledge of music during the late 90s. For example, the music for Akuma’s “Killing Moon” stage is a fusion of traditional Japanese music and drum n’ bass which makes for such an ill combination. With it’s game play and innovative fighting mechanics aside, SFIII:TS wouldn’t have been that great of a playing experience if not for the dynamic soundtrack. You can hear drum n’ bass, jungle, variations of house music, techno, latin, rock and hip-hop throughout this entire project. What separates the music of Street Fighter III series and most notably Third Strike, from other fighting games that I’ve played, is the incorporation of so many diverse genres of music.
