Lyrics[edit]

Kana Romaji Translation

サイコボールが 光 放ち
アテナの姿 照らしだすの
サイコパワーを心に秘めて
果てしない道を 走る
今はもう青空 見えないけど

SAIKO BŌRU ga hikari hanachi
ATENA no sugata terashi dasu no
SAIKO PAWĀ o kokoro ni himete
Hateshinai michi o hashiru
Ima wa mō aozora mienaikedo

The Psycho Ball's light bursts
Athena's form begins to illuminate
With Psycho Power hidden in her heart
Down the endless road, she runs
Now she can no longer see the blue sky

ファイア! ファイア! サイコソルジャー
ファイア! ファイア! サイコソルジャー

FAIA! FAIA! SAIKO SORUJĀ
FAIA! FAIA! SAIKO SORUJĀ

Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier
Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier

サイコソードが 闇を裂いて
アテナは夢を 救いだすの
炎のように 燃える瞳
希望のかけらを 見つめ
今はまだ涙は 見せないわ

SAIKO SŌDO ga yami o sai te
ATENA wa yume o sukui dasu no
Honō no yō ni moeru hitomi
Kibō no kake-ra o mitsume
Ima wa mada namida wa misenai wa

The Psycho Sword cuts through the darkness
Athena begins to rescue dreams
With eyes burning like flames
She stares at a glimmer of hope
Now she can't have her tears be seen yet

ファイア! ファイア! サイコソルジャー
ファイア! ファイア! サイコソルジャー

FAIA! FAIA! SAIKO SORUJĀ
FAIA! FAIA! SAIKO SORUJĀ

Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier
Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier

サイコビームの 輝き残し
アテナは未来を求め 旅立つ
誰ひとり 知らない明日
火の鳥の姿 かりて
どこまでもつづく 空を飛ぶの

SAIKO BĪMU no kagayaki nokoshi
ATENA wa mirai o motome tabidatsu
Dare hitori shiranai ashita
Hi no tori no sugata karite
Doko made mo tsudzuku sora o tobu no

The Psycho Beam leaves radiance behind
Athena sets out to find the future
In the unknown tomorrow
She takes the shape of a phoenix
And flies across the endless sky

ファイア! ファイア! サイコソルジャー
ファイア! ファイア! サイコソルジャー

FAIA! FAIA! SAIKO SORUJĀ
FAIA! FAIA! SAIKO SORUJĀ

Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier
Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier

Trivia[edit]

  • According to Masahiro Sakurai's Famitsu column, this song was recorded over 6 months prior to Terry's release. The English version was recorded first, followed by the Japanese version. It was carefully mixed by the arranger, Yuzo Koshiro, to resemble a song from the '80s, contemporary to the original game's release. In total, over 80 individual tracks went into the final mix of the song.[3]

Origin[edit]

The aforementioned remix of the first level/credits theme from Psycho Soldier, only with English lyrics, for the first time since the original game's release. Since the English version has fewer verses than the Japanese version, the second verse is replaced with a saxophone solo, and the third verse is a reprise of the first verse. Like the Japanese version, it is performed by Kanako Kotera, albeit with the lyrics performed with slightly different intonation to match the original arcade version.[2]

Lyrics
Athena’s name is magic

Mystery, it’s what you’ll see

Her crystal is the answer

Fighting fair to keep us free

She’s just a little girl with power inside, burning bright

You better hide if you are bad, she’ll get you

She’ll read your mind and find if you believe in right or wrong

Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier

Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier

Trivia[edit]

  • Though Ultimate boasts the first time the English lyrics have been heard in full since the release of Psycho Soldier, it was actually SNK 40th Anniversary Collection that was the first time since the original release that they were heard at all, as they were briefly featured in that game's remix of the Psycho Soldier theme.
  • Masahiro Sakurai stated in a YouTube video that the reason a brand new instrumental verse was made for this remix was to match the three verse structure of the Japanese version, and the intonational differences in the lyrics are a result of the Japanese singers intentionally emphasizing certain syllables to sound more natural to non-Japanese listeners, referred to as "Japanized English."[4]

The remix stays very close to the orchestration of the original song, only adding minor synthesized flourishes. In some parts of the song, the main theme of Metal Slug is also included.

Trivia[edit]

  • When selecting music for Terry's Challenger Pack, Masahiro Sakurai initially focused on songs related to Terry, but noted that a lot of them had a "big band" style, and wanted to branch out into other SNK franchises to add more variety. He sent a list of 50 song choices to SNK, expecting them to pick out 10 or 20, but SNK agreed to all of them, much to his surprise.[5] As a result, Fatal Fury has the most music of any third-party and DLC series, and the third highest amount of music after Mario and Fire Emblem.
    • However, as most of the music is not from the Fatal Fury series, Tekken has the most music tracks from its own series alone.
  • Fatal Fury and Pac-Man share the distinction of including music from outside their series of origin.
  • At 17, the Fatal Fury franchise is tied with the Mega Man franchise with the most amount of new remixes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, this counts the two arrangements of the Psycho Soldier theme separately.
  • The original versions of ART OF FIGHT (Ryuhaku Todoh Stage), Banquet of Nature, and Stormy Saxophone 2, as well as the opening theme from The King of Fighters '94, all appear in Terry's reveal trailer, but do not appear in-game.
