Your favourite themes (character/stage)?

[nO_d3N1AL]

I like F.A.N.G.'s and Bustling Side Street (Round 2 > Round 1). How about you?

I like many characters (Akuma, Juri, Ibuki, Zangief, Bison, Urien, Cammy, Chun-Li), actually I tend to play random characters in battle lounges.

But when it comes to stages, it's definitely the Kanzuki Estate (daytime).
Many others are nice too: Temple Hideout, Air Force Base, Shadaloo Base (at night), Bustling Side Street.

Temple of Ascension needs a lightning fix, so that the characters are illuminated by the the stage ambience.

Cool. Question is about their soundtrack though, not characters.

Kanzuki estate theme is glorious. It's the only one I can really remember as being memorable. Mashido's theme is probably the only one out of the character theme's I like.

Temple of Ascension needs a lag fix.

Yeah haha, it's worded pretty poorly though, could easily be interpreted as "Favorite character? And favorite stage themes?" To avoid confusion, the title could have been something like "What are your favorite themes (character/stage)?" or something.

Anyway, I absolutely love the Bustling Side Street Music too. I think it's one of the best. Also the Lair of the Four Kings music, Temple of Ascension music and Kolin's theme. Couple of other parts as well. Really like the melody on the train station stage, but the rest of that tune is kinda meh.

Couple of examples (copy & paste in a browser & remove the space after the 'h' - Steam somehow ignores timestamps on Youtube):

Metal cover, awesome:

Convincingly threatening and dangerous part:

And Guile's stage theme is always an instant classic, naturally.

I think this part of the train station stage music has a good melody:

Guess I'm weird because I like the training stage theme. I don't play that stage online though since people hate the stage so my 2nd favorite is City of Chaos. I mostly like the low health transition part of the song.

So many good themes though.

[CrunchyBiscuit]

Yeah man, almost forgot about the City in Chaos theme! Relaxing:

But I actually don't really like the low health part and training stage music, too stressing.

[nO_d3N1AL]

@CrunchyBiscuit Thanks for the suggestion, I've changed the title accordingly. Also agree with City of Chaos - I think it's also one of the best looking stages (not in terms of graphics, but the art style and its suitability for the game - it is "Street Fighter" after all!)

LOL, sorry my bad...

I like the following SFV stage tunes most:
Balrog's Stage (remixed classic)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W1s5RFRAMY

Vega's Stage (calm + nice guitar)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-hR9DWcfZA

Training Stage (modern style / generic)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-5nzWBjFQs

Ken's stage (remixed classic)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb4DBtYWdso

Akuma's stage soundtrack is kinda interesting, combining/mixing traditional instruments with modern electronic techno/dubstep, but it kinda gets repetitive and too intrusive after a while

I like Ed's character theme although it's a bit odd compared to the other tracks. As for the stage theme I'll go for Skies of Honor Alt.

Cool, I listened all of it.

I heard so many different versions of Guile's theme, there are endless amounts! I think this is the best version (great intro!):

I like almost all of Charlie Parra's work, you can see he truly loves what he does!

I really enjoyed both Vega versions (soft/hard), I never heard those before. Added.

I didn't even realize there was another track in the game with lyrics! I almost never play in the Skies of Honor and don't even own the stage. The track is alright, I actually like the second part with lyrics more than the first part :)

I certainly like it better than Ed's tune.
