What is the best fighting game soundtrack?
Stage themes, character themes, and one track that escaped the arcade and turned up in nightclubs.
1Mortal KombatThe series whose theme escaped the game entirely and became a club record.
2Street Fighter IIYoko Shimomura's stage themes, one per country, and the most hummed music in the genre.
3Guilty Gear StriveDaisuke Ishiwatari's vocal metal, written and performed by the series' own director.
4Tekken 3The PlayStation-era electronica that people still play outside the game.
5The King of Fighters '98SNK's Neo Geo sound team at its peak, one theme per team.
6Mortal Kombat 11The modern series score, orchestral where the 1990s games were synth.
7BlazBlue: Calamity TriggerAnother Ishiwatari score, and the reason its character themes have their own following.
8Marvel vs. Capcom 2The lounge-jazz soundtrack that had no business working over a six-character brawl.
9Street Fighter Alpha 3The densest of the Alpha scores, with a theme for nearly every one of its thirty-odd fighters.
10Darkstalkers 3Capcom's gothic score, the one its own fans rate above Street Fighter's.

One franchise wrote a stage theme per country, the other wrote a track that charted as a dance record: https://youpick.best/articles/mortal-kombat-vs-street-fighter-ranked
