Capcom Q Sound Arcade Intros 

this is oddly very depressing and nostalgic

When Capcom was at its prime!

The smell of laundry odor when hearing the q sounds whats was AWESOME!!

This jingle sounds like something from a detective show just before they go to commercial break.

these tones all have that "spooky yet soothing" feel to them

1:00 2:36 2:55 What everyone remembers...

I'll explain this as best as I can, because I'm sort of understand these "spooky" thingy... The composition of these jingles are considered to be "spooky" in common use of BGMs. The combination of jazz chord progressions and the unresolved chords with a different bassline/arps (EX: Asus6 bass E or Asus6/E) are known to give a spooky atmosphere.. Dissonance as one of the limitation of the sound chips just adds to the overall atmosphere. For example popping noises when the instrument reached a loop point and decays, the reverb, or even the hardware generated chorus effect. ESPECIALLY THE ONES FROM VAMPIRE SAVIOR! ONE OF THE BEST INSTRUMENT DESIGN, BUT THAT QSOUND JINGLE IS LEGIT SCARY TO BE HEARD IN THE DARK! :'((((((( But I have to admit... in 1980~1990, for being able to produce a sound quite like this is totally an achievement for its time! My life as a music producer won't be the same if it's not because of retro game's sound design. (Let me know, if I've used a wrong use of grammar)

Ahh Capcom's golden era... You knew you were in for a treat everytime you heard this sound blasting throughout the arcade. :)

The Q-Sound intros, besides the original Capcom intros from like Street Fighter 2 and games in that era, were the greatest sound bites ever. Like, even to this day hearing them just gives me a lingering sense of nostalgia that I might never get anywhere else.

I remember walking thru the arcades and hearing this randomly going off in different parts of the arcade. Gives me goosebumps hearing this. 90' was a great fucking time for arcades.

0:25 That bass was jumping!🔥

I remembered when I lived in New York there used to be this candy store downstairs in front of my apartment that had the X-Men vs street fighter cabinet and one of the cruis'n games. Me and the kids in the block used to spend hours just dumping quarters into that game. Hearing these jingles just takes me back so nostalgic.

Alpha 3 is the smoothest and the best one

Street Fighter Alpha 3's always sends tingles down my spine :)

My favorite? Marvel vs Capcom.

Believe it or not this is my ringtone. lol

2:25 Mega Man: The Power Battle

The perfect Rival for the Neo Geo theme

1- Marvel Vs Capcom 2- Vampire Savior 3- SF Alpha

This music takes me back. I wish we had a new Capcom fighting game that started off with this intro.

2:36 SFA my favorite

So basically - it's a midi file for Qsound that was played back using that particular game's soundfont... That explains why some of these sound so terrible and others sound decent.

1:00 It's awesome to hear this sound when the logo Q sound is displayed especially Street Fighter.

these always gave me chills as a kid but in a good way... now they just make me feel nostalgic... i miss those days....

A E S T H E T I C

This brings me back so much memories of the 2 local arcades, which sadly, both of them closed down, the first one in 2006 and the second one in 2020 due to COVID-19. I would hear this noise in different parts of the arcade. I miss the good ol days man

This brought tears to my eyes of nostalgia. Good job comrade

Back before internet took over arcades 80s and 90s in my opinion golden era of gaming....

Whenever you heard this sound, that's how you know you're about to play a really great game from Capcom. It's such a shame the company doesn't make games like this anymore. Street Fighter Alpha, Alien vs Predator, Marvel Super Heroes, Pocket Fighter, X-Men vs Street Fighter, Children of the Atom, Cyberbots, Darkstalkers, Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, Rival Schools, Street Fighter EX and so much more man. They don't make these like they used to anymore.

The fact that this exists is so cool for so many reasons

This with the lady saying "capcom presents" in marvel vs Capcom is pure nostalgia overdrive for me.

Does anyone feel like this could possibly be ASMR material?

😢 How I miss my little Super Street Fighter and Darkstalkers cabinet. 1993-1994 will Always have such sweet memories. If you guys from my quadra are reading this, thank you for giving me such wonderful times!

I love how Anarchy Takapon/Takayuki Iwai arranged Vampire Savior's. And Alpha 3's is very smooth.

I sometimes wonder how this would sound in recent Capcom games.

All we need is a Street Fighter 6 Arcade cabinet with this jingle to showcase their pedigree in terms of developing spatial audio to both immerse the sighted and to assist the blinded.

I just LOVE to hear these little jingles in capcom arcade games!! ^_^ It's just so amazing that it always keeps you coming back for more!! ;)

Why am i addicted to these lol

My Nostalgia comes back, such a great pleasure to hear all those sounds, and rethink of the hours spent playing those awesome games, thanks a lot

Dam I miss the arcades!!!!

Made these my ringtone. Sadly nobody calls me lol.

This sounds depressive but it’s sometimes cheers me up

This and the Neo Geo logo theme were the kings of the dimly lit arcade sound In the 90’s, hearing these going off somewhere in the arcade as soon as you walked through the doors!

I LOVE Street Fighter Alpha: Warrior's Dreams' That nice, rough, low-tone bass in the back! I also like SFA2's

Thanks for making this. I have always loved Capcom's Q-Sound jingles.

My Childhood is coming back to me now⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

Kids today won’t know won’t know the joy hearing this at the arcades back then

Loooooooove these jingles! This is a great work, V1ll4in, thank you!

i may not have been around to experience any of these games in arcades but these jingles feel a bit nostalgic

At the moment I am working on another set of Q sound intros. Once that set is complete I plan on uploading all of them to megaupload to share.

This reminds me so much of Circuit Circus in the Phase III food court at West Edmonton Mall in the 1990s.

The original Q Sound jingle is forever in my head. Thanks for this collection.

This video takes me back. I loved this era of video game sound. I think the link with all the jingles went down. I used them as my text tone like in 2010.

Christ Almighty! Just hearing the little jingle brings a year to my eyes. Best days of my life.

These Jingles bring back great memories, I'm totally making this my text message tone. Thanks alot. Glad I'm not the only one who gets so nostalgic for the CPS-2.

you know its gonna be a good arcade game when this appear

capcom will always be on my heart as my childhood's favorite game developer

Brings back great memories! I would have never guessed QSound recorded the virtual barber shop in 1996.

I love those intros!

19XX, Cyberbots, Marvel vs Capcom and SF Alpha are amazing but Vampire Savior... dear god, just beautiful.

Thank you man i found it for many years!

wow this is so awesome i love capcom when it comes to games,intros,characters, and gameplay you know capcom comes in 1st so awesome love all these intros ^_^

This is the soundtrack to my hopes and dreams being crushed in my mid 20s

Wow, didnt know there so many ppl that love these intros as much as I did. Thanks for posting this, V1LL

I wish arcades made a comeback. So many great games!

My favorite was always the Darkstalkers ones - with all the spooky-sfx.

I think the darkstalkers ones are the best

The armored warriors or “ powerd gears “ q sound fits the marvel vs street fighter, marvel vs capcom , street fighter vs X-men series more then the others , it always had that dark hero battle vibe to me , makes u imagine wolverine standing in the rain while it’s thundering at night ready to face Ryu

I miss the days when Capcom was an Elder God tier company, where damn near every game they pumped out was dripping with character and/or soul. Hell even the promotional posters were practically works of art worthy of being hung on a wall.

thank you for making this :)

Wow, thanks for sharing! :)

After hearing that Capcom is working on an arcade game based on Attack On Titan, I wish this jingle would come back.

The Mega Man ones take me back to my PS2, the Power Battle/Fighters, and that amazing lounge soundtrack. Ahhh . . .

Surprisingly comforting to loop!

I thought I was the only one who love these jingles.

I use the Street Fighter Alpha 2 Q Sound intro as my text message/twitter notification sound. I actually sampled three of these for a simple beat I made. Thanks for putting up this vid, man. Got so much use out of it. lol

Brings me back. Cheers.

dude nice video thanks i love that q sound tune and i love capcom...keep making capcom videos 5/5

I’m not sure why the jingle always made me feel so nostalgic and sad whenever I heard this as a kid back when I would play all of their arcade games

2:36 is why I'm here

2:55 Good times, good times

I love these!

1:25- I like that one! They used that one in 'Warrior's Dreams' and 'Children of the Atoms'. Thanks for posting this!

Its beautiful

The Marvel Vs. Capcom one sounds the best but I also love how that Capcom Sports Club one sounds completely flat besides the really cool sounding deep sub bass notes you can only feel if your listening on more powerful speakers.

thank you so much for this... cps-2 and 3 games are fucking amazing and make me cry tears of joyous nostalgia

Feeling nostalgic!

Rockman Power Battle's version is my favorite :)

So dissonant, I love it!

I just love the sound of the logos, especially the Street fighter one it's my favorite.

Cool. Thumbs up for you. I only put Megaman: The Power Battle, because its the same jingle as part 2. My favorite is Vampire Savior. It has that eerie aaahhh like in the game tracks.

Just to let those who want this as a ringtone or just to download. These tracks are 6 to 9 seconds long. When I upload them. They will be in single tracks. Not one whole big track.

This video is WIN!

19XX the war against destiny one sounds beautiful but it feels as if something is missing. Thats whats great about these.

They all sound awesome. My favorite is the one from SFA 3 and MSH.

Wow you actually compiled these together or you managed to find them all? nice man..I to enjoyed these right when a game was about to start. Mostly the Street Fighter Alpha series.

Yes! I knew I wasn't the only one that liked this.

They need to remake X Men: Children of the Atom. Such a good game

Wow, qué magia estos sonidos, que sonaban a cada minuto en las salas de arcade, demostrando que el jefe de jefes para crear videojuegos en aquellos tiempos era Capcom.

These are actually kinda unsettling. Even more so if you only listen though one ear with earbuds or headphones. Legit creepy, but I like them.
