Favorite VG Music

[Tellis]

^ I wish I knew what those games are or had played them, cause the music is really neat.

Well, simply put, King of Fighters is a fighting game series from SNK, where you choose 3 characters for a team and take on other 3-fighter teams, made up of characters from other SNK series and original characters made for KoF specifically. If you want to get into the series, a good jumping off point would be tracking down a copy of the King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga for the PS2 or Wii (or really any of the various remakes or ports, mostly for PS2, but Collection's probably the best bang for your buck), but since that might be hard to find, you could always emulate them with an arcade emulator to try 'em out or just pick up the newest entry to the series, KoFXIII. Just stay away from 2003 and XII.

I suppose it's fair to mention that those are arranged versions of themes from the game, so here's a few of my favorites in their original form, from KoF '98, which brought together every character thus far in the series for a kind of "What if?" scenario, and also brought together some of the best music from the games.

(I love how well the Ikari Warriors idle poses match up rhythmically with this theme, especially Leona's swaying hair)
(Kyo's dad, Saisyu, has always looked like Dave Grohl to me)

Oh and, unrelated, here are two songs that I like that sound really similar:
