Canadian
Rapper INFINITE on Creating Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Theme
Song and Voiceovers
|
|
|
|
 Prior
to its release in May 1999, Capcom held an audition in Canada to find a
rapper for three (now legendary) tracks in Street
Fighter III: 3rd Strike — including the game's intro theme and
character selection screen. Capcom ended up choosing Canadian rapper
Desmond Francis, better known by his stage name "INFINITE", for the role. In a
video podcast from 2020 (below), hear the
Canadian rap icon reminisce about his experience working on the SFIII:
3rd Strike soundtrack. As 3rd Strike fans would know, INFINITE
also recorded the main announcer voiceovers for the game — consisting of over 400
words and phrases! Enjoy the short 4-minute interview with INFINITE in the
video, below.
