Alternate Soundtrack Redux: Super Street Fighter II vs. The Go! Team

Posted by Derrick Sanskrit

There's just way too much going on with E3 to complicate things even more by bringing up yet another classic game, so this week I've gone back and made a video to go along with the very first Alternate Soundtrack piece we ran, Super Street Fighter II vs. The Go! Team's "Proof of Youth". Especially fitting, since we're all super pumped for both Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Street Fighter IV, which are being played by crowds of excited gamers in Los Angeles as you read this.

So enjoy the video below, click here to read the original write-up, stay tuned for more of our E3 reactions, and let us know what your alternate soundtracks are in the comments!

Flashlight Fight works the best, some of the others come off too bubblegum.  Even though SFII is very cartoony looking, I'm not sure if it works.  

I've got a tougher one for you.  You cats got me playing Cave Story and I need a soundtrack.

"Keys to the City" is my favorite part of the video, personally. That song just sounds like punk kids kicking some ass to me. The whole cheer-squad thing isn't everyone's cup of tea, though, so I get where you're coming from.

Sadly, Cave Story crashes every time I try to play it. I'm missing out on what I keep hearing is a phenomenal game.

First track felt out of place, the rest fit in well enough.

Cave Story is phenomenal when taken in context. As in, it's mind blowing for a free game made by one guy. Though to be fair, if it was released back in the 16 bit days, I'd probably remember it quite fondly.
