Dragon Ball songs on CPS2 (aka Capcom DB)
Dragon Ball songs on CPS2 (aka Capcom DB)
Inspired by the CPS2 Goku theme posted in this thread, I decided to remix a bunch of Dragon Ball songs using CPS2 samples. For those of you who don't know, CPS2 is an arcade system used a lot by Capcom in the mid 90s. The music, as can be heard in games like Super Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter Alpha and Marvel vs. Capcom to name a few, has a rather distinctive sound, so if you like the music in those games, you might like this.
So far, I've done two songs from Super Butoden 3, as well as the TV-size version of CHA-LA HEAD CHALA. Check 'em out!
Goku's Theme (Super Butoden 3)
Goten and Trunks' Theme (Super Butoden 3)
CHA-LA HEAD CHALA (TV size)
Whenever I get around to doing insert and image songs, I want to do both the originals and the altered versions featured in some of the video games. For Goku's theme above, the vocal song equivalent is Kimi ga Hero, but the only shared element is the main riff, so I decided not to.

Here's a new batch!
Character Select (Super Butoden 1)
Goku's Theme (Final Bout)
Trunks' Theme (Final Bout)
I really like how these came out. I've never been too fond of the Final Bout soundtrack; it seemed like they were trying to go for an orchestral feel like the actual GT soundtrack, and that's cool, but it seems like a lot of the songs weren't written for that arrangement, and the result is pretty weak. So I saw this project as a chance to bring out their potential a little more. The Trunks theme seems more at home now, but I'm not 100% sure about the Goku one. Its structure is pretty chaotic to begin with, and why does Goku of all people have such a menacing theme? Oh well.

Whoa! Lots of replies all of a sudden.
Thanks everyone! Right now I'm trying to figure out what song to do next. I have a couple ones I want to tackle (FB Pan's theme, for one), but I'm not sure how to handle the arrangements yet; it's all too easy to just cram a bunch of distorted guitars and a brass section in there just to easily get that Capcom sound, but I really don't want to do it unless the song calls for it.

Re: Dragon Ball songs on CPS2 (aka Capcom DB)
I'm curious- I'd like to request a piece to be done, but are there any limits as to what Dragonball games they can come from?
Re: Dragon Ball songs on CPS2 (aka Capcom DB)
Not really... I'm plenty familiar with the music from most DB games, and for the other games (the NES ones and Legends come to mind) I can probably find the tunes on YouTube. What song are you looking for?
