Some more awesome Street Fighter music. Some of my favorites here. Simple Rating (SF Alpha 3) or Snowland (SF III: 3rd Strike) may be my fave Street Fighter song ever. I once thought as a whole, no SF soundtrack could top SF II. But, I think SF III: 3rd Strike may have done that! Amazing from top to bottom.
Agreed. The SFIII: Third Strike soundtrack is total class and just adds to the atmosphere and intensity of the game. My favourites:
If we're talking the best Street Fighter music, then SF2 Turbo's music blows all of them out of the water: Guile's Theme [youtube:f8gIvHhloNg&feature=related] Ken's Theme [youtube:zFYK8sL5BHI&feature=related]

Not really. If we're talking just SF2 music, the Hyper Street Fighter II arcade music blows all of the console SF2 songs out of the water in terms of arrangement and sound quality.
And Chun Li's theme on the Genesis is way better than the SNES version, hands down. It's so much closer to the arcade version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-aWHftJHJc But still, I agree with Betelgeuse that the SFIII: Third Strike songs are quite possibly better than the SF2 themes.
@HolyMack: Ken's theme is my favorite SF theme. Period. But I by FAR prefer the harder edge that the earlier versions had, such as the one Kingbuilder posted. Yours just seems to be lacking the same spirit to me. That's my opinion.

@bro2dragons That's really interesting because the arcade versions sound like they have more edge to me - unless you count the noisy synth as "edge". The quality is much higher than either the SNES or Genesis versions thanks to the CPS2's superior sound chip. As much as I love the nostalgic Genesis SF2 soundtrack, I actually like the arcade themes better. Maybe it's just me though.

I think back in the day, I'd play SF II at the arcade as much to hear the incredible music as I did for the equally awesome game play! While there are deeper fighting games, I don't think any other, and few other games if any from other genres, hold as much nostalgic value to me. Could watch/listen just to the intro and demo matches for 15 minutes. Not sure how many times I've watched Ryu vs. Sagat demo over the years, LOL. Ryu, Ken, Guile, Balrog and M. Bison's themes are my favs.
@HolyMack: I fully agree the arcade versions are of undeniably higher quality... I just prefer the sound of the older versions, and the arcade seems a little softer. Just my ears, though, perhaps.

Could someone please tell me the name of the song playing in this trailer? I really enjoy this musical piece and it has caused me to have big fascination with the Final Fantasy franchise and the harp as an instrument.

Well, the song, present at some point in most Final Fantasy games is "Prelude". But, this isn't a version heard in the NES Final Fantasy III released only in Japan. It may be a version specifically orchestrated for the purposes of this commercial, as Prelude was not made in-game with this kind of quality until the PlayStation. There's a version of Prelude that sounds pretty close to this on the DS Final Fantasy III album. It's available on iTunes Store.

Thank you so very, very much.

You're so very, very welcome, man. You can find plenty more Prelude versions of that quality. Just off the top of my head, FF VII, IX, X and XII.
