It's #VGMWednesday !!
*techno intensifies*
I have a lot of respect for the soundtracks of fighting games. I may not have a huge love for the genre, but I think some of the greatest bits of character music has come from fighting games, Street Fighter alone has given us some absolutely amazing tracks.
So, today, I wanted to highlight a specific song for a specific series that perfectly characterises it as a whole.
『Techno Syndrome』is just pure, Mortal Kombat, helped by Kyle Wyatt literally screaming those words as part of the song.
I can't imagine Mortal Kombat without this song, it perfectly captures the over the topness and violence of the series in a fantastic way.
It also, in my opinion, would be the highlight of a night out in a club.

@ishambard@cupoftea.social I adore this soundtrack, always have. Also, I may be in a minority, but the movie is very decent too.

@ishambard@cupoftea.social I think I read somewhere recently that the infamous shouting was taken from the advert for the game coming to home consoles. I quite liked the game but Im rubbish at beat 'em ups. I love the movie though. https://youtu.be/R8V7TwlYCt0
