I think it would be great for players to listen to their favorite music when the game starts ,when they are waiting to find a ranked match and also in the main menu. A playlist creator should be implemented in the settings of the game and made to where you don’t have to listen to the ki theme song on repeat and when the song ends its all mellow and quiet. This will make waiting a little more hype . And give you that killer instinct hype when going into your next match .

I actually like this idea. It would give all players an opportunity to not only listen to the current character themes but they could even listen to the old themes too after unlocking them through reaching certain Player Levels.

That’s if Devs feel like implementing this change though. There’s not much of a fan demand for the further uses of the retro themes besides creating stages for characters that have no stage.

I was actually wondering about this myself. Ever since they gave us the option to choose character music, regardless of stage, I was thinking why not give us the ability to use the retro music from the training stage in actual matches? Just add them to the list once you unlock them! 
Heck, while they’re at it, why not add the character music to the training stage and use the concept art for the character’s stages as the background to each song!? 
On a side note, while I think the above idea would be awesome, I realize certain characters don’t have their own stage for said background - in that case, you can use other ideas, like a background from 1 of Rash’s other games, for example.

What would be nice is a automatic IF argument in the code you can switch on or off in the options that if you fight against a stage less character then there’s a 50/50 chance you will get that stage less character’s theme for the next fight. Would allow you to freely experience and hear all the awesome music in all parts of the game if you don’t want to keep manually changing the themes if you can.
Or it could be a more complex IF that includes stages so for example IF vs Mira AND stage = Tiger’s lair OR Alchemy Lab THEN Theme = Mira’s theme.
…Just a thought as I always forget to put the theme’s back after changing them
I like this concept, though I think it would be better served as an attract mode on the title screen maybe - instead of the title theme playing, the whooshing sounds of the title screen play and then the screen explodes when you press a/menu. After that, whilst checking for content, the music from other characters could play. But the idea for the main menu is a good one.
Kind of expanding on this, I think a mix of snippets of all characters themes should play after the main theme, their distinctive bits organized either randomly or in a set rhythm. Yay or nay?

I support this. Really tired of the main theme.
Make so at the main menu if we press " up up down down left right left right A B " the original KI theme plays instead. Fun little nod to the old days. Input a button code like back in the day, and get some retro music to take you back

Nothing gets me more hyped and battle ready than the Character Intro sections of Sadira’s theme.
Hearing that when I boot to the main menu would be fantastic.
