Back-to-back comparison of the characters' themes with the songs they originated from. The original song is played first, then the updated MvC3 rearrangement.

Note that these are merely samplings (approximately 30 seconds long each). All songs are the property of Capcom and any composers and/or subsidiaries associated with them. I will not advise where to locate full-length downloads.

Due to time restraints on YouTube, the video compilation was split into two. I arranged the characters by their order used in MvC3 itself (i.e., Gallery Mode). Part one can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHFQSbLXM08

Every Capcom character in the game has a theme arranged from a song that originated in one of their earlier titles (usually their debut title). The only exception is Chris; the gaming community has been scratching their heads over this one, and collectively they have decided that it is an original theme that never appeared in a past Resident Evil title. It's worth noting that the melody does bear some similarities to Mercenaries Mode themes used in Resident Evil 5.

Any Marvel character previously playable in any of the Capcom-produced "versus" Marvel fighters (including pre-"versus" titles, X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes) have rearrangements of their themes used in these games. Note that these themes are not always from their debut titles. (For example, Wolverine and Hulk have vastly different themes in each of their appearances.)

Part 2 of 2:
AKUMA - "Akuma's Theme" (Street Fighter IV, PS3/360, 2008)*
HSIEN-KO - "Hsien-Ko's Theme" (NightWarriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, Arcade, 1995)
JILL - "Sad But True - Jill Battle Theme" (Resident Evil 5, PS3/360, 2009)
WOLVERINE - "Wolverine's Theme" (Marvel VS. Capcom, 1998)
HULK - "Hulk's Theme" (Marvel VS. Capcom, 1998)
IRON MAN - "War Machine's Theme" (Marvel VS. Capcom, 1998)
CAPTAIN AMERICA - "Captain America's Theme" (Marvel Super Heroes, 1995)**
DOCTOR DOOM - "Doctor Doom's Theme" (Marvel Super Heroes, 1995)
SPIDER-MAN - "Spider-Man's Theme" (Marvel VS. Capcom, 1998)***
MAGNETO - "Magneto's Theme" (X-Men VS. Street Fighter, 1996)
STORM - "Storm's Theme" (X-Men VS. Street Fighter, 1996)
SENTINEL - "Genosha Stage" (X-Men: Children of the Atom, 1994)
SHUMA-GORATH - "Shuma-Gorath's Theme" (Marvel Super Heroes VS. Street Fighter, 1997)****

* The SFIV arrangement in itself is a remix of "Akuma's Theme" from Super Street Fighter II Turbo. The MvC3 arrangement is more closely based on the SFVI arrangement than the SSFIIT version, thus I used this version in the video. Take a listen to the original SSFIIT version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co6MHgDbypE

** I had a hard time deciding which version of Captain America's theme to use. The same overall melody appears in all three of his prior appearances (MSH, MSHvSF, and MvC), with the latter two having an extended intro that the original does not (and the extended intro was used for the MvC3 version). However, since they're all so close, I just went with the original MSH version. Listen to the other two for yourself here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QqMLiX7PBg (MSHvSF) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bEMWL_8SlU (MvC)

*** Spider-Man's theme is the same overall melody in all three of his prior appearances (MSH, MSHvSF, and MvC), however the arrangement used in MvC3 is based on the arrangement from MvC. Since the three previous versions are so wildly different, I went with the MvC version on this one. Listen to the other two for yourself here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tonKOGARBIc (MSH) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiSMRYLiOT0 (MSHvSF)

**** Shuma-Gorath's MvC3 arrangement is mostly based on his theme from MSHvSF, however elements from his original theme in MSH are also present. Since the version used in MvC3 is so closely based on the MSHvSF version, that's the version I put in the video. Listen to the other one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nl1BzuWFlI
