Most easily Killer Instinct 3 Orchid Theme for 1st place and Killer Instinct 2 Orchid Theme for 2nd place
For me as far as the themes go some are better from ki1 and some are better from ki3, ki2 was good buy looses everytime when compared to the other games. As far as which ones I like better: orchid=ki3 jago=ki1 sabrewulf=ki1 thunder=ki3 glacious=tie spinal=ki3. theme=ki1 fulgore’s already sounds better from the demos I’ve heard for ki3 but time will tell. I don’t know that cinders theme can topped but we’ll see.
The only time Mick Gordon will lose here is on the Saberwulf theme. Originals still the best
Not even, the originals are all better. Mick’s versions are awesome and refreshing but you just can’t beat the original source material. For anyone playing KI for the first time, will easily vote the new stuff… there is more to it because no memory restrictions.
I have been a ki fan since i was in grade school. I still like the music from the old days but i do like orchids new theme better.
