Ed's theme tune

[CrunchyBiscuit]

I think it's horrible! Absolutely awful. Why is this the only one with lyrics?

Doesn't feel right compared to the rest of the soundtrack.

It does kinda fit his street style story mode outfit, but still. What an annoying tune.

[Henry Swanson]

I agree, it sounds absolutely horrible!

[IITWLLII -ES-]

Background / Stage music is always better off without vocals/singers, too bad there is no option for this, all we can do is to create a personal BGM playlist and disabling all the others completely.

[Mr. Unethical.]

Yeah this theme is cancer... Even without vocals.

[Murloc]

I personally like it. Sounds dope, but to each his own

[Turbo Killer]

I like it too, but yea everyone's preferences.

[DJukor]

I iamgine if Ingrid ever makes it in to SFV she will also have vocals to her theme.

Sure, it was just repeating his name repeatedly, but that was the lyric.
It told us all we needed to know.
He was a fast paced crazy mixup character named Rashid.

The singing with Rashid's theme is better blended in with the music, and is easier to ignore. The style of Ed's theme is harder to block out for the lyric focus. At least for me; I do know people who can work while listening to rap or hiphop, which I cannot do.

All the music in this game is pretty mediocre to bad.

[hardwood]

I just googled the theme for ed cause I never heard it since ingame music is off, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is that bad. Why, why did they add a track with non stop vocals/talking?

[KaizokuNinja]

C.Viper, Ingrid, Elena, Rashid, Balrog (SFIV) and several stages have also had lyrics.

[John Hunter]

I like it.

I wouldn't consider those 'lyrics'. More like mixed voice samples, just like in Kolin's theme, or in the Bustling Side Street tune. Not a hindrance. Besides, this is mostly about SFV, not IV.

Also, who is Ingrid? I hear that name sometimes but never seen her in any SF game I own (SFII, SFII Turbo, Super SFII, MarvelvsCapcom series, SF Alpha 1-3, SFEX series, SF3NG, SF3SI, SF33rdImpact, CapcomxSNK, SNKxCapcom, SFIV, SuperSFIV, SFIVAE, USFIV and SFxTekken, probably forgetting a couple).

EDIT: I looked her up. Seems like a cool addition to the series. She was only in some arcade version and in a handheld version, my copy of SF3 Alpha on the PS or Dreamcast didn't include her, not sure why: http://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/user_screenshots/saves49/495938/DREAMCAST--Street%20Fighter%20Alpha%203_Apr21%2011_15_33.png . Looked up her theme song from 'Capcom Fighting Evolution' on youtube as well. Those are true (Japanese?) lyrics indeed, awful. Not SFV though.

But yeah, to each their own. I'm just glad that at least some people appreciate it. I sure don't.

[Utsuro]

Terrible theme.
