[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I was like 6 when it came out and didn't get to really play it until the original xbox version came out like 3 years later. I'm playing MvC2 with a friend and he takes the remote and mutes the TV. I'm like "dude we are playing on clock tower, what are you doing?" and he's like "nobody wants to hear that shit". Apparently that was the biggest complaint about the game when it came out. WTF? I think the game's soundtrack is almost objectively good (unless you dislike jazz and in that case you just have bad taste :lol) Did any of you guys seriously dislike the ost?

 

[BocoDragon]

I WANNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Haters gonna hate. I STILL love the MvC2 soundtrack.

 

[RedNumberFive]

God tier OST.

 

[kunonabi]

Just about everyone hated it and most people used custom soundtracks for it. I don't think I remember any tourney or get-together with a copy using default tracks.

 

[Brannon]

Taste levels back then were ass prone. Twas so excellent!

 

[GuardianE]

I did not like it, especially considering how good the character themes were for MvC.

I get the novelty of it, but it really doesn't fit the pace of the game at all.

 

[SolarPowered]

I feel sorry for those people who can't dig MvC2's tunes.

 

[Gbraga]

Yes, the soundtrack is great, pegasus fantasy is godlike.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

i hated the jarring ass early 3d backgrounds that had nothing to do with capcom video games or marvel comic books more

got used to them though

 

[thekonamicode]

Kind of hard to enjoy the MVC2 soundtrack when you are just coming off Third Strike.

 

[Bishop89]

i liked it back when i played it heavely on the ps2..

played it the other day in a long time and ye... dont really think of much anymore.

 

[Persona7]

I do remember a lot of whining about the soundtrack. I loved it.

 

[iLLmaticV3]

Was pretty bad and repetitive. I just bared with it.

 

[Seven Force]

It's a fantastic soundtrack. Just not one particularly fitting for the game.

The swamp stage has one of my favorite stage themes from any Capcom fighter.

 

[FSLink]

Bad and repetitive when it came out, cheesy character select theme.

Nowadays I enjoy how cheesy the OST is though, only for nostalgia reasons.

 

[MisterHero]

"Objectively good" Pffffffffft.

Marvel vs. SF and Marvel vs. Capcom 1 have superior soundtracks*. Character-specific music and even mid-battle alternating.

*also, SNK vs Capcom series

 

[Holy Order Sol]

People wanted character themes at the time I think.

 

[DryvBy]

I always liked it because it was such a horrible soundtrack. Jazzy music for a fighting game just doesn't fit. But I wouldn't want it any other way.

 

[RyanDG]

The soundtrack to the game as a whole wasn't bad.

The character select theme made me want to stick a screwdriver in my ears out though, and unfortunately it was the one bit of the soundtrack I heard the most.

 

[ShirAhava]

The soundtrack is the only thing me and my friends liked about that game. we went back to playing MVC1 after like 2 weeks.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

"Objectively good" Pffffffffft.

Marvel vs. SF and Marvel vs. Capcom 1 have superior soundtracks*. Character-specific music and even mid-battle alternating.

*also, SNK vs Capcom series

This here is my sentiment.

The music from MvC2 wasn't bad, just not as fitting.

 

[ramine]

It actually prevents me from playing the game. I really dislike that jazzy, trumpet kind of music for this game. And that main menu music. Ugh. It's really unfortunate.

 

[braves01]

I like the jazz, not sf3 good however.

 

[Tiops]

The OST is fucking awesome. A little weird, but awesome.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Only game soundtrack I could describe as "so bad its good".

Spoiler

NO I WON'T LET YOU GO...INSIDE ME!

 

[MrDaravon]

It's a fantastic soundtrack. Just not one particularly fitting for the game.

The swamp stage has one of my favorite stage themes from any Capcom fighter.

Pretty much this. On it's own the soundtrack is great, but it feels so out of place for the most part.

 

[Slermy]

I enjoyed the soundtrack, it was a nice chance of pace.

Capcom vs. SNK 2's soundtrack blows it out of the water though.

 

[Marvelous]

I <3 MvC2 soundtrack.

...I wouldn't mind knowing the name of a specific song used in the Season's Beatings II tournament, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=1pwi5x97WvY#t=436s

 

[baphomet]

Soundtrack was awful then, and its still awful now.

 

[Seven Force]

Capcom vs. SNK 2's soundtrack blows it out of the water though.

Absolutely.

 

[Metallix87]

It's a fantastic soundtrack. Just not one particularly fitting for the game.

The swamp stage has one of my favorite stage themes from any Capcom fighter.

That's really the only theme I genuinely like.

 

[Y2Kev]

It's no Capcom vs. SNK 2, which I was turned on to by the people in this thread.
true love we're making......all the time~~~

 

[GuardianE]

Absolutely.

I love how I can know exactly what this is before clicking, start singing before it even plays, and be right.

 

[Soulstar]

It made a wonderful contrast to what was happening on the screen. I still waffle back and forth between if I liked the character themes from MvC1 more or the Jazzy MvC2 soundtrack. It is definitely better than MvC3 they mangle a good 80% of the character themes in that game.

 

[Cels]

i just liked the really cheesy english voice

SELECT YOUR ASSIST TYPE

ENGAGE

 

[Soulstar]

I enjoyed the soundtrack, it was a nice chance of pace.

Capcom vs. SNK 2's soundtrack blows it out of the water though.

Absolutely.

I concur.

 

[Burritoad]

The River Stage is my jam

Only the best.

 

[TheShampion]

I am pretty sure that if you actually like jazz, you will hate MvC2 OST on principle alone.

That OST did not hold up after repeated playings, but the only fighting game OST that did for me was Tekken 3 (having two OSTs to switch from, arcade and console, helped a lot).

 

[Net_Wrecker]

MvC2's soundtrack is great. Gave the game such a weird, unique style and sound. Instantly recognizable. Love it.

 

[Mr Touchdown]

MvC3 saltmines would be negated if it had an MvC2 style soundtrack. There's an amazing mash up on the YouTubes.

Doesn't beat True Love Makin' though.

 

[Seven Force]

There's something to be said for the dissonance of being wrecked by a rom infinite with "NOBODY TO DRY YOUUUUUUR EEEEYEEES" blaring in the background.

Agreed on MvC3, though they definitely stepped up their shit for the themes for the UMvC3 newcomers.

 

[Tan]

This is news to me.

 

[vatstep]

Yeah, I don't really remember internet opinion, but pretty much everyone I knew disliked it. It was certainly an acquired taste.

 

[Skiptastic]

I mean, I WANNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE is god tier. Then you add the smooth tunes for the stages? Fucking amazing.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Put that soundtrack on repeat and just keep it going for as long as possible.

 

[Router]

No one ever likes Capcom Fighter Soundtracks when they first come out.

 

[GuardianE]

Am I the only one that likes MvC3's soundtrack? I thought they did a pretty good job of modifying and creating a cohesiveness to all of the different themes. Except for Iron Man. That shit sounds like the Price is Right fail sound.

 

[Jawmuncher]

MVC2s soundtrack is god tier.
It's was so funky and cool.
