for the people who want the lyrics: I want to know how tough it's. I want to know the place where my soul is burned out. In order to draw two and the simple answer which is not I continue following an endless way. The hair waving in the scorching biting wind. The body flickers slowly like a flame. It's prevention about feeling intense to quiet inside. Nobody can stop the blow the wave motion emitted. The days which SHED each other blood mutually start again. I want to know how tough it's. I want to know the place where my soul is burned out. In order to draw two and the simple answer which is not I continue following an endless way. It has run through fighting to the extent that it cannot finish counting. Am I tough? Can I become how far tough? The again same thought is only repeated. In order to draw two dodges we're rising up for. The dream of the dragon which rises in the heavens is seen. I want to know how tough it's. I want to know the place where my soul is burned out. In order to draw two and the simple answer which is not I continue following an endless way. The wave motion emitted. The wave motion emitted. The days which shed each other blood mutually start again. I want to know how tough it's. I want to know the place where my soul is burned out. In order to draw two and the simple answer which is not I continue following an endless way. I want to know how tough it's. I want to know the place where my soul is burned out. In order to draw two and the simple answer which is not I continue following an endless way. I want to know how tough it's. I want to know the place where my soul is burned out. In order to draw two and the simple answer which is not I continue following an endless way.
for those of you wondering, the WAVE MOTION mentioned in the lyrics refers to HADOUKEN, Ryu's signature attack. translated literally, HA-DOU-KEN means WAVE-MOTION-FIST. the letter for fist(KEN) can also mean 'style of fighting' or 'type of attack'. so, HADOUKEN can be roughly translated to mean PULSE SHOCK ATTACK. i personally think they should have just sang the damn song in japanese and have done away with the bad english translation of japanese concepts. HADOUKEN!!!
I remember how I first heard this song while playing Street Fighter Flash. When I heard the first bit, I thought that they gave Ryu a sorry theme, but when it kept playing, it was my favorite street fighter theme, this is actually suppose to be Ryu's theme if you listen to the beat on here and the very old street fighter game.
If Gohan ever dies in DragonBall super this song should play when he’s traveling on snake way. (For those that don’t know Kyle Hebert who voices Gohan voiced Ryu from Street Fighter 5.)
To think it has been approximately 7 years since I found this exact song and video and yet the spirit of the World Warrior still rings in this tune. So glad I bought this soundtrack in the end...
This song is made by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi he's made music for Sega games like Daytona USA,Virtual Fighter Series 1-3, and others the whole soundtrack is made by famous japanese musician and composer's you buy the cd off amazon or play asia
Man I can't believe the amount of comments that says this is the worse theme on the album.....okay granted most may not understand what he's saying ( I do plan as day) but still the music is just beautiful it gives me goosebumps when played through my M8 speakers and surround sound during some of my boxing workouts, in short the energy of this song and from the time it came about man it's nostalgic.
I was big on SF in the mid 90's (as well as MK & Tekken) and still am. I first heard this song on a flash game site made by someone, but I do remember the name of the game and site. The name if the game is called Street Fighter Flash, and the site is called MoFoZone.com. I'm pretty positive that it's still there. Loved the song ever since.
This is truly incredible. This and OCRemix's R U Overdrive have caused me to like Ryu's theme. Before, I didn't like it too much, but now my eyes have been opened.
The lyrics and the melody of this music looks like a mix of Tomato and Ice Cream. Tomato is delicious, Ice Cream is delicious too... but the mix awful....
I've been a Ryu fan since the beginning. Next year, I plan to cosplay as him at a comic and toy convention. This past year, I cosplayed as Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3, complete with the David Hayter voice.
....*sob* so beautiful....this is quite nostalgic and epic. Only Takenobu Mitsuyoshi's voice and music can make me cry to the Ryu theme, such a fitting tribute to the greatest fighter ever! I just hate Capcom for not using these awesome existing music remixes instead of using such generic music for SF4! Maybe it's better if they save this for the TRUE sequel to SF3, bring on SF5!!
From what I hear, during rival matches, the character's theme(remixed again for the who know how many times) is played. I just don't know if later you can turn it on to play all the time though. There's a SFIV Guile combo vid with Guile's playing in the background
Nice gesture they did a tribute album for Street Fighter, but Ryu's tribute song should have been "Street Fighter 2 - Ryu's Theme - Hearts of Fire" If agree, thump up
Good luck Ryu, may you find that prace soon. God speed. But seriously, this song owns, reeks of Virtua Fighter (and I mean this in the best way possible)
It's going to take work on my part to get in that good shape since I've let myself go over the years, but I do see silver lining. Since I can grow a good beard, I'm also planning to pack a Bluto costume. My plan next convention is to have a different costume every day of it.
are the lyrics english? i cant really tell :/ good song though, most game songs dont really suit having lyrics (please dont mention brentalfloss. his stuff is brilliant but they're humorous so they dont count) but this somehow really works :)

Also, this song would have been better done in Japanese. The guy has a good concept of English in that he'd do well in conversational English and being solely an English speaker, I gotta give him credit, but if you can't be understood consistently... just stick to the language you're best at lol
