Underrated Fighting Game Themes, BGMs & Covers

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

I know most folks will big up RPGs when it comes to the best gaming music, which is understandable. Fighting games however, have a shytload of piff out there and a lot of it goes underrated as well. Posting a grip of mine.

Fatal Fury/KOF


Fatal Fury 2 / Fatal Fury Special - Andy Bogard Theme OST

KOF XV OST - Andy Bogard Reveal Theme: Pasta - Latest Version. Andy’s theme was always an underrated Gem.


Fatal Fury Special - Geese Howard Theme OST

The King of Fighters '96 - Geese ni Katakori (Geese Howard Theme)


Geese theme always knocks. I think this my fav. iteration of it from KOF 96. Or Tied with this version from KOFXIII

The King of Fighters XIII-Geese ni Katakori (Stiff Shoulders for Geese) (Billy Kane Type B Theme)OST


Fatal Fury 2 / Fatal Fury Special - Laurence Blood Theme OST

Fatal Fury Special - Practicing Matador 'Theme of Laurence Blood' (Arranged)

Laurence theme is super underrated. Two bad he wasn’t in more games. This arranged version smooth AF tho!



Fatal Fury Special -- Jubei Yamada's Theme

Fatal Fury 2 / Fatal Fury Special - Billy Kane Theme OST

Duck! Duck! Duck! (Duck King) - This shyt was always hilarious to me hearing the background ad-libs in the arcade in my youth, LOL!



Fatal Fury 2 / Fatal Fury Special - Mai Shiranui Theme OST

THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV - Original Theme MAI SHIRANUI OST

KOF XV OST - Mai Shiranui Reveal Theme: ENRYUUJIN


Really like how Mai’s evolved over the years.


KOF'94 - Jungle Bouncer (Ikari Warriors Team Theme) (Brazil) OST


KOFXIII really just did the series too much justice. So many ill ass tracks, dopest artstyle by far (practically in FG sprite history). So many gems here.

Man, I don't even recall most of these, but that first joint is Hard AF! Definitely adding that to the playlist. I appreciate your additions, bruh!

Darkstalkers



















- Jedah’s Theme is thorough. His victory theme was as well.


Dope as hell that each character had their own winning theme. Demitri’s is fiyah! A few other here too.

I had to stop listening to the Night Warriors LP, I played it all the time on a loop. Those themes are bangers.
