Alongside the recent reveal that Ken would return in Street Fighter V, Capcom’s Street Fighter team has posted a new update to their Saikyo Blog. While the blog mostly shares the same details that we’ve previously reported, it does have something extra that was not seen–or, more precisely, heard–in our original coverage: a sample of the Street Fighter V remix of Ken’s theme.
Yes, Ken’s classic Street Fighter II theme is back in a new mix that eschew the Street Fighter IV’s EDM-inspired stylings for a more guitar driven mix that feels closer to Yoko Shimomura’s original. This theme is so rockin’ that it made me want to grab a friend and start doing chin-ups.
Of course, this isn’t the only piece of new music that you can listen to; the blog post also contains samples of Ryu, Nash, and M. Bison’s themes, as well as that of the recently revealed Forgotten Waterfall stage.
We’ve included Ken’s theme below, but be sure to head on over to the Saikyo Blog to give the rest a spin.
