Thought it would be interesting to narrow down the best music themes from select player/car/stage, etc, screens.

Themes that are short and sweet (and looped until you get sick of them probably).

My picks:

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

 

[Spaceman292]

Third Strike is the best thread over go home

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

 

[Lupin3]

 

[Cravis]

 

[Jeeves]

Original Killer Instinct is great.

Here's one more

That Tekken 2 character select was fire back in the day

 

[ShadowLag]

Street Fighter 4 (vanilla) got you pumped as hell at the select screen! It makes you feel like some epic shit is about to go down

These are the first two that came to mind. Generation Snowflake couldn't handle such today!

"Select and make the best pick"


My friends and I were playing this game super blazed when someone said "wait a minute, the character select song is all about selecting a character to play in the game".

We were blown away

 

[Kuranghi]

Thanks pals, palettes and palerinos. I had a great time listening to all of these, that Megaman 8 one needs to be banned for being too rude, its so good.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Deathsmiles' character select tune is an absolute banger:

Jungle/DnB is still the best

I had a Ronnie Size (?) Fase in high school followed with Aphex Twin, but being the dreamer that I am I prefer organic deephouse or whatever

But yeah those Japanese games around that time had that timestamp sound to it. Awesome

Bla bla bla is 10 9 8

 

[22•22]

Bla bla bla is 10 9 8

Lol I thought about that and confirmed my suspicions after listening. In my mind the 10 9 8 didn't line up with my internal rhythm for some reason.
