Ken's theme is truly a timeless piece of music. I can listen to it over and over, and never grow tired of it. It is a song of motivation.

cant' beat the original SF2 version...none of the later versions came even close once they started introducing more synth into it.

Guile and Ken for me

And me to
After hearing Cheap Trick's Mighty Wings again, I will always wonder if this was originally supposed to be Guile's theme, but they changed it for tying Guile too closely with Top Gun.

Probably. Similar to what they did with some character names.

It was the theme for hd remix.
Street fighters Ryu and Ken grew up with my life. But I like the original the best
Even if you’re now a divorced sad sack fighter, Ken you’ll be be awesome to me.
The first theme song is so dope and legendary
street fighter Ken masters' music is pretty legendary 😎
Never even played Street Fighter but Super Street Fighter II's version is amazing workout music lol.
Ken's music is my workout music
I was looking for exactly that video :)
It only took me 14 years to stop hating on SFIV themes and start appreciate 'em
The weird super jazz music of the mid 90s seemed to follow like the sonic music. Even though the action was way more exciting. With super combos and stuff.
Awesome all street fighter theme thank for combining
Where's the Alpha 3 one? That one is one of his best themes.
4:23 Sorry but this version first debuted in 2015 Ryu Character DLC for the games Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. It later reappeared for the second time in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Godlike game series
Nice vídeo bro !!!
Street fighter V has got the best rendition
Que buena calidad de audio, buen trabajo
Well, for Ken, my top 4 favorite version of his theme would be: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (3DO) Street Fighter 4 Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix Street Fighter 5 But, the best versions in my opinion is from Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (3DO) and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix. Those are very epic and fit Ken as character very well.

Check out the Street Fighter II Turbo SNES-version. It's not covered here if I identified the themes properly. Just search "Street Fighter II Turbo Snes Music - Ken Stage". That's the best one of the older games ^^ You find all the other ones as well by just replacing the fighter's name.

Why is the gameplay footage never actually on _his stage_ ?
@3:42 now that is what in the fuck I'm talking about! YEAH!
How do you not include the intro for each version?
Clamato Fever (HD Remix) is my favorite version 😊
this is .. enjoyable>
What I love most about this video is that it starts right away none of that fake intro talking and pretending to care about the lore
The 92 theme is golden 🐐
Best of the best!
Ken players our Gamer National Anthem ✊🔥
If its not broke dont fix it first theme is the best
Street fighter V perfected Ken's theme. You tell me SFV Ken and Vega themes aren't among the best themes in the entire series. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even like SFV but I know a dam good theme when I hear one 🔥🔥🔥
Ken is my favorite fighting game charecter of all time
The best quotes belong to the roaring inferno, the crimson warrior!
My favorites are the super street fighter 2, smash remix, sf5, and sf6 even though it came out more recently than this video
The GTX 1080 theme, gamers know exactly what I'm talking about.
best for me is, original street fighter and street fighter 5
Alpha 2 Gold will forever have the best Ken theme to me
I know it’s been done by another KZread but Kens theme done using the Megaman X Soundchip
Anyone gonna talk about the fact that Ken doesn’t appear to be a natural blonde?

Canonically, he is not. You can see his roots coming in in his sf6 look.

Canonically, he's not. However, it seems like Capcom is deciding on whether to retcon that or not.
What happened to sf3?
Ken master 👍🇺🇸
You have miss Ken's Street Figther 3 songs
Why are the SF3 themes never included
When your hands and feet are on fire
Missing the 1986 version from Top Gun.
That smash version:
Mighty wings. A pretty big influence over Ken's theme. Quite fitting since he is American. Even tho Top Gun goes more with Guile tbh.
Back in those days, before RTX 3090TI was born
You forgot that ken was in the first street fighter
Ken is the Ssj of Street Fighter
Soundtrack do Ken Online Brasileiro!
2008 y 2016 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Actually on snes it sounded completely different
SF II Snes theme was never surpassed. Admit it.
Nothing beats the original
El de puzzle.... esta genial
The best are sf2 turbo on snes and sf5 imo.
Where is alpha 3?
where is the SF X TK ?
There is no Namco x Capcom ost.
Thanks for this video. I awoke this morning with a need to know and here it is. I stopped playing Street Fighter after Street Fighter 2 Turbo. I've nothing against the later versions, they just existed in a different space to me. But by God, listening to those themes they took a bit of downturn with Super Street Fighter 2 and then almost everything between that and V is an abomination. I think my favourite, which isn't listed here (since it's just evolution of tone rather than composition) is the Turbo version. Really nice opening tone.
Alpha 3?
you forgot some of the timestamps
My favorite would be the SF2 turbo HD remix, but there's that annoying whip cracking sound that they're just way too hard on that one percussion over and over.
Who came here from the PC master race and DanTDM‘s intro
Super Smash Bros Ultimate one keeps building up and then it massively disappoints
Alpha 2 '96 sounds like a Japanase talk show theme... that Ken would be appearing on to interview... Those mid-90s ones seem a bit off, maybe too happy or too "morning television".
street fighter ex doesnt count?
sf4 is the best imo but sf5 is really good too
sfv ken theme is best ofc
where its street fighter 3?
SF 3???
SFV version bro.
o melhor é do 4
God, the SF4 one is ear murder 🔪👂
Street fighter zero3?
Get this right, it's 1991 to 2021! 🤦♂️
SFV>>>
Kinda disappointing on how you barely played the street fighter 4 theme
I think the original sounds better, I feel like the theme went downhill, until Nintendo switch, brought it back with the original.
0:47 Ken is disrespected in this game (wimpy voice, watery theme)
Y Marvel super herores vs street figthter?
Wrong!!! The start date is 1991!!!!
Seems like it got worse with each iteration lol. The original has the most iconic sound, rest are shallow duplications.
The smash theme is wack af. Idk what they were thinking.
Guiles theme ain't got shit on Ken.
sf6 kems theme bad
lol no need to credit the original composer, yoko shimomura, or anything...
Esos comerciales de rap en castellano son insufribles
Naa this guy skip some themes like street fighter 2 turbo but i guess is because he is too young and dont know it.
I hate what's happening to Ken in the canon of the street fighter lore. He's been my favorite since i played SF2 in the 90s. Now he's a bum who supposedly lost everything...

Na he's just in hiding because he's been accused of funding terrorist plots.
Good idea, poor execution. The snippets of music are too short, and you need to hear the opening part of each song to properly compare them. Especially SFIV. What was that? You barely used it at all.
wait no street fighter 2 turbo? no alpha 3? what! no marvel super heroes vs streetfighters? also yes i said Street fighter 2 turbo , not super street fighter 2 turbo , the arrangement are way different
They took the theme and made it progressively worse
No Jazzy 99?
WTF what about Street Fighter EX plus alpha? That had the best OST soundtracks bar none!
what the fuck happened to street fighter 3s?
