I really love the double dragon neon rendition of the double dragon main theme.

Digital Devil Saga 2's battle theme is probably my favorite rpg battle theme.

2 steps from Hell.

+1

but keep in mind Two Steps From Hell is not the only company who makes epic trailer music.

If you like that stuff you should also check out Immediate Music, audiomachine, Brand X, Epic Score, Posthaste Music, Fired Earth Music etc.

Akihikos P4 Arena theme gets me hype!

Valkyria Chronicles - Hard Fight

Yakuza 3 - Fly

 

[Wiz]

I've been replaying Chrono Trigger again, so whenever I hear that BOSS BATTLE music I already know it's about to go down.

 

[opticalmace]

Don't know if it counts, but the tank music from the Left 4 Dead series always made me think "it's go time."

[alazz]

Dark Pit's Theme from Kid Icarus Uprising. SO GOOD. Best ost of the year, probably.

Too Many to Kill from Bulletstorm

Prince of Persia SoT has a pretty cool pre-fight theme.

Hell March from Red Alert.

That one song from Street Fighter that goes with everything.

Assassin's Creed 3 - Fight Club (I liked the older games OSTs better, but THIS SONG always pumped me for a good fistfight.)

Persona 4 - Reach out to the Truth (get out of my head!)

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Xenoblade- You Will Know Our Names

 

[Slurmer]

Disurbed - ohh ah ah ah ah

Wondered as I clicked how long it would take before someone posted some Meguro. First post, haha. I am not disappoint.

For me, it's always Fog from Persona 4.

Deus Ex HR Hyron Project.

BRILLIANT.

But this thread makes it obvious to me how few people actually played Dragon's Dogma. Still, here you go:

This song only plays when you are drastically out-matched.

Alternatively:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTNfuztCMgM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz1gqx0uRbQ

Or just the whole damn game's battle soundtrack.

 

[Loofy]

Ikaruga no question. It takes a full 1:20 to build up. Then its chaos.

I have no idea when "Battle for Survival" became the consensus choice for best Meguro battle music and a popular best Meguro pick but I'm very pleased by this development. I'm not even really fond of guitars, so it's kind of amazing how much I love the song. Far and away the best battle music he's ever composed, it's just perfect.

Cornered is another answer that's very popular and very correct.

Edit:

This from Battle Garegga is also amazing.

 

[digita1alchemy]

Mega Man Zero 2 - Air Fleet

Alien Front Online - Menu Theme

Punch Out!! - Fight Music

Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Heavy Swell

Ketsui - Darkened

Espagaluda II - Descend

Contra Shattered Soldier - Battle Train

Contra Shattered Solider - Hell Drive

Vanquish - Third Spaceport Lobby

Wild Guns - Boss

Yoshi's Island - Final Boss Music
(Still the best boss music in any Nintendo game)

 

[Disgaeamad]

Surprised people posting Persona stuff didn't add The Battle For Everyone's Souls to their list. I'm blind.

And I guess I'll give Falcom some love:

The Strongest Foe from Ys: The Oath in Felghana

Vacant Interference and Crossing Rage! from Ys Seven

Fateful Confrontation from Sora no Kiseki/Trails in the Sky SC and Overdosing Heavenly Bliss from 3rd

And unrelated to Falcom, Tales of Xillia 2's final boss theme

I need to learn to hold back in these kind of threads.

 

[A Huge Battleship]

shmup boss themes are great at this.

Thunder Force IV - Evil Destroyer
Triggerheart Exelica - Boss
Deathsmiles - A Banquet of Blood and Madness Colored by a Lovely Voice
Touhou 12 (UFO) - Emotional Skyscraper~Cosmic Mind

Hitogata Happa - Phantastique Summer Tea Party
This one deserves to be singled out because it makes me want to kick some ass, but I never do because FUCK YOU KREUTZER

 

[Dictator93]

Serious Sam 3 Hero Instrumental

Serious Sam 3. This music kicks in at all great moments in the game.

Also Dark Souls boss music. Jesus, you shit yourself.
