Street Fighter 6 fans kick off after Capcom changes \u201ciconic\u201d Ryu theme CapcomCapcom has released Ryu\u2019s new theme music in Street Fighter 6, but some fans are quite unhappy with the pivot away from his \u201ciconic\u201d Street Fighter 2 theme. Capcom recently debuted a bunch of Street Fighter 6 content following a Sony State of Play event which aired on June 2. During the reveal, fans got a much better idea of the new hip-hop and funk-inspired direction Capcom would be taking the iconic fighting game series in Street Fighter 6. Now, Capcom has unveiled Ryu\u2019s new theme music for SF6, and many fans are not happy with the turn away from remixing Ryu\u2019s most iconic theme from Street Fighter 2. Capcom reveals Ryu\u2019s new theme for Street Fighter 6 The official Street Fighter Twitter account sent out a tweet that reads \u201cListen to Ryu\u2019s new theme to feel the journey he has been on and his enthusiasm for the new one awaiting for him in Street Fighter 6.\u201d Ryu\u2019s new theme is oozing the funk and hip-hop DNA that permeates Street Fighter 6\u2019s aesthetic, making for a new bombastic reinvention for the series\u2019 leading man. However, many fans are not pleased with Ryu\u2019s new theme, citing a massive departure from Ryu\u2019s iconic theme that debuted in 1991\u2019s Street Fighter 2. \u201cYea\u2026 we\u2019re gonna need their iconic themes as an option lol. Out of everything amazing that\u2019s been revealed, the music so far has been their weakest reveals\u201d said Twitter user lariat_dubman. Yea\u2026 we\u2019re gonna need their iconic themes as an option lol. Out of everything amazing that\u2019s been revealed, the music so far has been their weakest reveals. They just sound like stock music that doesn\u2019t mesh with the character\u2019s personality. \u2014 Lariatooo (@honesttoehold) June 16, 2022 Hi @StreetFighter I saw that you got Ryu’s theme wrong but don’t worry, I fixed it for you \ud83d\udc4d pic.twitter.com\/3zWK0j51hr \u2014 Bit Alemaunzinhuu \ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea \u2734\ufe0e (@alemaunzinhuu) June 16, 2022 Other fans echoed the sentiment, like kabrutustallone who replied \u201cEverything in this game is looking fantastic but these new themes are just\u2026 unnecessary. Classics are classics, don\u2019t change something that doesn\u2019t need to.\u201d However, many fans have taken to the replies to defend Capcom\u2019s decision to reinvent Ryu\u2019s theme in Street Fighter 6. \u201cI see people hating on this song\u2026This is a new generation of Street Fighter and I\u2019m going to be honest. I don\u2019t want to hear Ryu\u2019s SF2 for the 100th time. This theme is funky. Will listen to it on repeat,\u201d wrote Twitter user KeybladeHero_05. While some may not like the new direction Capcom is taking with the Street Fighter 6\u2019s soundtrack, it\u2019s clear that Capcom is ready to reinvigorate the Street Fighter franchise in some pretty big ways moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
