Capcom has released the Street Fighter 6 Ryu theme song as part of the game’s swing marketing campaign. Listening to it, one cannot help but notice how different it is from the classic character theme, introduced with Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior and confirmed, obviously with different arrangements, up to Street Fighter 5.
This will be a good fight.

For the sake of comparison, here’s Ryu’s classic music theme from Street Fighter 2:
As you can hear, the style is completely different and it is impossible not to think of it as part of the complete restyling of the character made by the Japanese publisher for the new chapter of the series, which involved all aspects.
Ryu is the absolute protagonist of the Street Fighters series, in which he is present from the very first chapter, where he did not have his own theme, missing an internship.
For the rest we remind you that Street Fighter 6 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X and S, PS4 and PS5.
