Title: Name the "Best" (aka your Favorite) KOF Song
Post by: solidshark on November 11, 2011, 10:09:01 AM: Mine's somewhere in the '99 AST. Probably either Dear Falling Angel
King of Fighters 99 AST Dear Fallen Angel (Theme of Krizalid) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9DUGPt-0QA#)

or (most likely) KD-0079.

Post by: Custle on November 11, 2011, 11:54:52 AM: It is either The King of Fighters '94 Arranged Soundtrack: Ne! [England Team Theme] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAoEcXkvLt0#) or The King of Fighters 2000 Arranged Soundtrack: Goodbye ESAKA [Kyo Kusanagi Theme] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEkrvASfi3Q#)

Ne! is very good song. I like that it has jazzy feel in it, mixed with rockish feel. And it is very positive.

Goodbye Esaka is like very good popular music song, that should be in Top 10. And it has very "goodbye" feel on it, that almost makes me sad. Of course I hadn't even heard about SNK on that year.

But which one is better? Goodbye Esaka doesn't get boring as fast as Ne!, but on the other hand I like jazz.

The King of Fighters '99 Arranged Soundtrack: WWIII [Ikari Warriors Team Theme] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOHraIqFXr4#)
Seconded.

Other tracks that really stick out in my mind:

Goenitz's theme
Yamazaki's theme
O.Yashiro's theme
O.Chris's theme
Orochi's theme
Ikari Warriors' theme from 2002
Pretty much all of the various versions of Kyo's themes
K9999's theme

KoF 99 Tears - http://youtu.be/uFg4n_Y7hEo (http://youtu.be/uFg4n_Y7hEo)

KoF 02' Tears - http://youtu.be/pV2YsLDk9mo (http://youtu.be/pV2YsLDk9mo)

Post by: Rex Dart on November 11, 2011, 11:31:44 PM: My favorite KOF song changes every week, but here's one of my all-time favorites:

The King of Fighters 2000 Arranged Soundtrack: Terry 115 [Fatal Fury Team Theme] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP7SN-MUKTs#)

This is probably my favorite Terry theme in all of KOF. It might even be better than his various (amazing) FF themes. For me, it really expresses his personality well, and I love that saxophone.

Seconded for a best FF theme in KOF, next to the '03 for me.

Yeah, also my favorite Iori theme. It needs more love. Arashi no Saxophone gets all the attention.

Also, I wish everyone would provide youtube links with their songs, with maybe a comment on why they like it. It would make it more interesting.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on November 14, 2011, 06:46:10 AM: King of Fighters XIII OST Each Promise (Theme of Elizabeth Team) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcBHAAyiGos#)

Other than Tears, probably my favorite theme, and I honestly don't think the XIII soundtrack gets enough credit. Everyone seems to be overlooking it even though it probably has one of the more well rounded soundtracks in the series.

As for why I like this one? Idk, the feeling of urgency and a hint of sadness to it. It also helps that when first following this game, this theme stuck with me the most (only other one was probably KDD-0063...but that's because everyone in Arcade played K' on point...song will get stuck in your head after a while).
Title: Re: Name the "Best" (aka your Favorite) KOF Song
Post by: Aenthin on November 14, 2011, 03:27:37 PM: I actually bought the XIII soundtrack and listen to it every once in a while. It's just that Sadistic Eyes is the only KoF theme I would never get sick of on repeat.

For my favorite XIII track though:

Title: Re: Name the "Best" (aka your Favorite) KOF Song
Post by: solidshark on November 14, 2011, 05:32:18 PM: Here's probably the best theme for anyone female from any game:

The King of Fighters XI - Queen (OST & AST) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUeyRAEwJjE#ws)

In this case I prefer the OST version, just sounds more right.

Title: Re: Name the "Best" (aka your Favorite) KOF Song
Post by: solidshark on November 15, 2011, 08:30:26 AM: That Shingo theme sounds good in any form. I'm surprised how lots of key characters especially always have signature instruments or styles to them. Kyo with guitar, Iori with Saxophone, K' is always techno, and SNK was sneaky enough to make me like Harmonica with Shingo.

I also like the song that plays after you win a match, and the song that plays when you beat Geese... They both make for nice loops...

Post by: sibarraz on November 21, 2011, 03:03:21 PM: I only like the intro theme from Neowave
The funny thing with that OST is that you could see that SNKP has fallen of grace after the bankrupt listening the selection screen track, since they use some samples from DOA 2 Ultimate
