The greatest character theme music ever.

[Extraintrovert]

If my opinion means anything (and it doesn't), one cannot surpass Touhou for fantastic and appropriate character themes. However as deciding on merely one is beyond my capacity, I shall list some of the final boss themes in chronological order to give whomever deigns to view this a very small sample. Behold my obsession!

Spoiler: Yuyuko Saigyouji's theme - Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizone ~ Border of Life

Spoiler: Suika Ibuki's theme - Onigashima in the Fairyland ~ Missing Power

Spoiler: Eirin Yagokoro's theme - Gensokyo Millenium ~ History of the Moon

Spoiler: Kanako Yasaka's theme - The Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field

Spoiler: Utsuho Reiuji's theme - Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion

Spoiler: Byakuren Hijiri's theme - Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind

 

[Rewold]

Dare I say Sephiroth? Ok I'll try something different this time. How about....Cid Highwind!

 

[baronholbach]

I have to go with OP - Kefka's theme music is timeless. Even better is the demented remix when you're fighting his last form.

 

[Your once and future Fanboy]

I would have to say either Sin's theme or Seymour's (third battle) theme from FFX.

And i consider Otherworld to be Sin's theme btw.

 

[Pilot Bush]

It's gotta be the 2 terrible theme songs from El Superbeasto

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Lucca's Theme from Chrono Trigger:

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

All these Balzblue nominations and not one mentioned Susanooh....I are disappoint. A character theme that easily portrays their attitude and playing style are the most awesome. SO with that, I gotta be bias towards my two mains, so I see your Blazblue songs, and raise you a Susanooh and Suck a Sage.
*Snip*

Excellent choices, my good man. Both Blazblue and Guilty Gear have awesome character themes. Even the ones that are hardly out yet kick some serious ass:

[Aeshi]

Nine-Ball's theme

 

[ICanBreakTheseCuffs]

This. It is downright creepy.

I raise you one better
Darth Nihilus is a Death Star with a lightsaber

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

I've got a fair few I think are awesome, and, funnily, all of them are from Square-Enix games.

Spoiler: First, Terra's Theme - Final Fantasy VI

Spoiler: Next, Gogo's Theme - Final Fantasy VI.

Spoiler: Riku's Theme - Kingdom Hearts II

Spoiler: Roxas' Theme, The Other Promise - Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix

Spoiler: And finally, the best saved for last: Frog's Theme - Chrono Trigger

EDIT: Forgot one! It's only the most beautiful, most touching and saddest Kingdom Hearts theme in the entire world!

Spoiler: Xion's Theme - Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

The Doctor of course:

Not even a debate - the engineer.

Ye gawds I didn't even know they added that! That's friggin' awesome, though I still prefer the Soldier's theme for the EPIC drums:

that brings me back. lance was the best

 

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

Ye gawds I didn't even know they added that! That's friggin' awesome, though I still prefer the Soldier's theme for the EPIC drums:

While I do love the Soldier's (and everyone's) theme songs, I like the engineers most for the Kill Billness of it all.

 

[Juk3n]

Third Strike

NYC JAZZY 99'

KEN/ALEX

True Story!

 

[Manji187]

Slow start...but it gets really good from 1:11 onward.

 

[Gindil]

Such a fun game, and it's portable.

I was going to do Home Sweet Grave. But you just reminded me of a great game.

I'm gonna second Grit's song.

Extra bonus points if you can combine this with the Engineer's for maximum damage.

 

[Vek]

Lt. James PAtterson, and the amazingly awesome original Medal of Honor Theme.
