Abstract

Capcom released Street Fighter 5 Arcade Edition on January 17, 2018. It also launched STREET FIGHTER 30th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION. This product is a compilation of 12 of the Street Fighter series. The Street Fighter series was refocus by this work. In terms of game musical, Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V almost used the Street Fighter II's melody. This means that the theme music of each character of Street Fighter 2 has a great influence on the sequel. Therefore, it is expected that analyzing the theme music of the original Street Fighter II will inspire game music composers. As a result of studying series of Street Fighter, the difference of form and genre was remarkable.

캡콤은 스트리트 파이터의 30주년을 맞아 "STREET FIGHTER 30th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION"을 출시하였으며, 이 제품은 스트리트 파이터 시리즈의 12편이 수록된 합본이다. 이를 통해 스트리트 파이터 시리즈가 재조명되는 계기가 되었다. 게임음악적인 측면에서 보았을 때 스트리트 파이터 4와 스트리트 파이터 5는 스트리트 파이터 2의 멜로디를 거의 그대로 사용하였다. 이는 스트리트 파이터 2의 각 캐릭터별 주제음악이 후속작에 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미한다. 그러므로 원조에 해당하는 스트리트 파이터 2 즉 주인공인 류의 주제음악을 분석하는 것은 게임음악 작곡가에게 많은 영감을 줄 것이라 기대한다. 스트리트 파이터의 시리즈를 연구한 결과 형식과 장르의 차이점이 크게 두드러졌다.
