There's only one scientifically-proven formula for judging the quality of ASW games, and by extension, anime games in general.
Quality of music + uber micro(buttons pressed per minute) / number of schoolchildren + furries = Cool Factor
Let's see how ASW's lineup lines up:
Hokuto no Ken
Persona 4 Arena
Blaz Blue
Clearly Hokuto no Ken is a timeless classic that ASW failed to build upon.
Quality of music + uber micro(buttons pressed per minute) / number of schoolchildren + furries = Cool Factor
Let's see how ASW's lineup lines up:
Hokuto no Ken
- Music: Best victory theme ever
- BP/M: incalculable
- Disgrace Ratio: 0%
Persona 4 Arena
- Music: Actually kind of great
- BP/M: Is this even anime?
- Disgrace Ratio: 100%
Blaz Blue
- Music: What is this
- BP/M: detectable levels. wait, someone bumped the machine
- Disgrace Ratio: Makoto/10
Clearly Hokuto no Ken is a timeless classic that ASW failed to build upon.

I am bad at MKX. How do I Hadou.
Thats not fair, HnK's OST mostly comes from the show and not the butt rock machine at ASW.
Does HnK also have this song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y2VzSY1HIg
if it does then it's valid.

Ah yes, one of the classic tropes of anime: every opening theme sounds like the Breakfast Club soundtrack.
This. Important analysis being done here.
If you have a newsletter. I would subscribe.
Dunno why you guys giving GB shit. HNK is fucking amazing. Some of you guys like Marvel and it's way more busted and random. It's easily in my top 5 for best fighting games. Who cares if people label it as a shit game. People play xrd. Now that game is fucking shit
.
looks good though

Come on, you can't think BlazBue > GG or P4A in the music department.
All of the songs bite except for Tager's, which is GDLK.Never talk shit about a man's fighting game or waifu.
That said, my top 5 of fighting game music has 0 Arcsys games.
SamSho I, FFSP, SFA2, Groove On Fight, Skullgirls
Cosmo Clock 21

Blazblue has Catus Carnival, therefore it can do no wrong.

You don't even play the game to have a chance to actually appreciate the music.

This alone is better than almost everything in Xrd

But what about classics like Abel's theme

Listening to Imperial Code right now - sucked until 0:50, then decent but unmemorable guitar.
You are right that I don't play to appreciate the music. That's why it's all the more noteworthy when a game succeeds in making an impression on me. P4A uses a lot of P4's soundtrack, which is fantastic, but a lot of it just doesn't fit well for fighting games. I get pumped just starting Xrd up because it has so much good menu music. GGXXAC just had better character themes all around.
The song you linked sucks. It's downright annoying. BB still has the Tager theme, which outshines anything in the other games I linked, but Tager's theme can't save the whole soundtrack.
Then again, I think Indestructible is one of the best songs in FG history.

Skullgirls music is fantastic. I actually played some select songs during Christmas with the family and everyone loved it.

Lol at everything in the past 2 pages.
Also MKX Jason Vorhees is ridiculous.
Universal armor, grabs, dashup clothesline, armored wakeups, and a neat low overhead string.
Nice starting point...then Slasher gives you projectiles/range and good pokes, Unstoppable gives you damage buffs/self healing/and resurrection upon death at meter cost, and finally Relentless that lets you teleport and mess up their inputs.
Relentless and Unstoppable look the best. Unstoppable has the negative of not carrying over meter between rounds but with his heal and damage buff in place with his already good foundation of armor he should be able to go ham and get rewarded enough for it to be great. Relentless though...teleporting command grabs with abusable armor and the ability to mess up your inputs? NEW MAIN.

Character select, yeah. Everything else is good, imo.
Especially this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0ymKUd2Xkc
i think aris will be in the next mkx excellent adventures. he was talking about doing something with gootecks and mike in his stream a while back.
edit: oh wait, he just mentioned on stream that he played sf4 with the both of them.
If I ever make a fight game it's gonna have a mingus inspired soundtrack

They need to bring it back! Certainly your decaying muscles must be moved to shadowbox while listening, right?
Great song. Also, this:『Inaba Resident』;162701389 said:

Do you people listen to music that isn't some form of soundtrack? I never notice soundtracks to games in the slightest but actively listen to tons of bands/artists. I'm wondering how often people who really care about soundtracks and take note of them actively listen to/seek out music independent of soundtracks
What does this mean
i usually just turn off the music volume and play my own music.
it's torture to listen to training stage music for hours during training mode.

I wouldn't say I care a lot about this stuff. It's rare that a soundtrack catches my attention. I mostly listen to the only rock station in my city (lol @ 10 country stations) while driving around. Otherwise, I don't listen to music.
This post would make more sense to me if it were the converse: "Do you people listen to music that IS some form of soundtrack?". Because, generally, I tend to feel that people listen to bands/artists more than soundtracks to games/movies.
Unless you somehow felt the demographics here would be different.
To answer your question: i hardly ever listen to soundtracks. I tend to not respect them as much. but I know that's stupid.

On a gaming forum thread where people are discussing soundtracks at the moment your question would seem mighty stupid. Of course the people discussing favourite soundtracks listen to soundtracks
