Best Fighting Game Music Across the Past Three Decades

From the outside looking in, fighting games might not seem one of the most music-obesessed bunch, but from the very beginning, developers and composers were coming out with some legitimately amazing tunes in an era heavily limited by the technology at the time.

Be it the synthy chip tunes of arcades, made to impress players and draw them into their cabinets, or the metal-heavy sounds of series like Mortal Kombat at the turn of the century. Music in fighting games has only expanded its scope as the genre evolved. So why not spend some time tuning your ears to the sweet sounds of over three decades worth of some of the best fighting games music has to offer?
