Street Fighter has long been known for its music: since the early days of the series, characters in the game have been given their own themes that hype players up during a fight. Whether it’s Guile’s infamous theme (that clearly goes with anything) from Street Fighter 2, or the incredible Rashid theme from Street Fighter 5, the music that goes with the series is almost as important as the gameplay.
Living up to that reputation, Capcom revealed a new Ryu theme for Street Fighter 6 yesterday. You can see it (well, listen to it) embedded in this article, below. Whilst anyone with ears can hear that this new track (called Viator) is funky, upbeat and – importantly – catchy enough to withstand multiple listens, some fans are complaining that it’s not Ryu’s classic theme.
A cursory look at the comments in the Youtube video, or under the tweet that announced the new theme, shows that fans basically want one thing – and one thing only: Ryu’s classic theme.
