Club Penguin Music #18 - Composing Card-Jitsu

[@rockinggamerdude]

Me: “ he thinks I’m going for fire so they would go for water so that means I need to use ice but that’s what they think I’m going to use so they would use fire so I need to use water”

[@deannaabeyta1855]

But they need an ice card more than the others so they'll probably play ice so I should do fire but I can't risk them landing fire so therefore I should do water

[@daelillee]

EXACTLY

[@joshuawhelan9358]

My 2 theories that I would apply are: 1. First card will either be the lowest value or the one with the most of the same type (if i have 4 waters, I'll use the lowest value of that) 2. If they have 2 cards won, I would choose the highest value of the same element. They probably expect me to counter fire using water, so they'll use snow meaning I'd win with fire! And even if they do go fire, I have a chance at stopping them with my higher valued fire

[@rockinggamerdude]

The game too me is just a mind game of perception of your opponents mind

I had several tins of the physical card-jitsu cards. I collected them more than I ever collected pokemon or other cards, it was borderline an obsession. I eventually lost them over the years, but my parents gifted me one they found at a garage sale for nostalgia sake. Great times!

[@ChrisHendricks]

I have some around here as well, somewhere. They were pretty great!

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Card Jitsu and Club Penguin's Ninja Stories is arguably the thing that got me into Martial Arts. My college project was an '80s inspired ninja film, I love Cobra Kai, I practice Shotokan Karate! It's all because of your hot sauce, water balloon, and snowball chucking penguins. I still listen to the soundtrack for Card Jitsu before I go to my dojo! The Battle themes all work for a Warmup, November in Okinawa as a cool-down, and the Dojo theme for any other time on the way there. So, thank you Chris. Thanks to you and Lance and the rest of the team. This was an amazing video about something that really means a lot to me, and doubtless does to thousands of others too.

[@ChrisHendricks]

Oh wow! I've never heard of anyone using those songs before! That's very cool to hear!

[@justradiclesandco]

[@alancastillo5775]

It's always so fascinating to look back at the 'how they did it' aspect. As a kid, I was really captivated by the charm of Club Penguin and the creative people behind it, and now, as a creative myself, I deeply appreciate how you and your team built such a lasting legacy. Thank you, Chris, for giving us an insight on the technical side of this incredible experience. Not many are willing to share the behind-the-scenes of their art, and it’s truly inspiring to see how it all came together.

Card Jitsu Water #2 no joke has become one of my favorite club penguin songs ever, it's that good

[@Marisu_Prada]

As a free user from back in the day, the Ninja Hideout really meant a lot to me, it was an exclusive room I actually could get inside of, and by climbing my way up a martial art nonetheless. Yeah, I could sadly never do or get any of the fun stuff there, but just by existing, it made me feel like I earned a status close to a Member. _OH, but when Card Jitsu Water came out, and the Member only games were free for everyone?_ OH MAN, you can bet I was all over it. Finally a chance to show my potential to the world, I got all the gear in a week and cherished it with my life forever more. I'm telling you, man the Path of The Warrior was what I was born to do on Club Penguin!

the second attempt for the water one is SO good, I loved it

[@KeWDu]

Honestly, I'd have to agree that the final rendition of the Card-Jitsu Water theme was good, but not the one that fit most. I liked the first attempt, but when I heard the second attempt I was pretty blown away. I don't understand why the team all thought it needed to be much more aggressive, considering this was a silly fun game about slapstick fighting, but hey, what do we know? Love the videos Chris, thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite games from childhood. :)

Thank you so much for this video Chris - I sadly had to say goodbye to one of my pet cats today (her name was Mojo - she was 8 years old and was suffering with kidney disease) - so this was something that really helped out even more than usual. I grew up playing Club Penguin from 2007-2017, plus CP Rewritten from 2019-2022, and loved Card Jitsu, Card Jitsu Fire, Water and Snow (wish Shadow was also made!) This was certainly an amazing video to watch in terms of listening back to the amazing music made for the game, but also the behind-the-scenes into the mode itself. In short - keep up the great work, and all the best for the future. 🐧🥷❤️

I don't think you understand how this makes us all happy.

Yet, we have this amazing legend here, still making me feel like i'm in 2011. You bring such nostalgia and all of us OG fans will forever have you to thank for releasing Club Penguin content.

[@markly5460]

i don't know how many hours i burnt thru playing card jitsu with my brother (mostly just beating him for xp) and we were both so hype when fire released! i don't think we ever beat water, and i think we both had moved on a bit past club penguin by the time snow came around so i was rusty and never fully unlocked everything. but man the nostalgia this video unlocked!

[@arielgaray302]

OMG! The ad in 26:30 is the one that got me into Club Penguin in the first place! I remember seeing it on Disney Channel back in March 2010. I decided to try it out, and it became of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Thank you Chris for this Behind the Scenes content!

[@flagzombie]

I loved Card-Jitsu, it was so unique compared to the other minigames in Club Penguin. Earning belts by playing and finally being able to beat Sensei was the best feeling ever. The music you composed will always have a special place in my heart for all those good memories! The composer for Card-Jitsu Snow was amazing as well! Been loving ninjas ever since.

[@amandalovesthesims2]

I can still vividly remember the first day Card Jitsu premiered and how many penguins flooded the dojo. It was truly an amazing moment. Thank you so much for this Chris!

[@InternetStorm]

Card Jitsu Water #2 is amazing! Such a shame they didn't go for it in the end. The final piece is great, but you're right about the previous version being a better fit.

[@rapappathepepper3996]

One of the things i love most about your Club Penguin songs, is the fact that they were so Yamaha in sound, the average consumer may not like it, but i'm all for the MIDIness, something the later, newer songs kinda lack in that cheesy feel, instead, more subtle instruments, they are fine, but just not as special.

[@ChrisHendricks]

I can respect that! There's a certain charm to the older synths or even the bleeps and bloops of the video game music from the 80s.

[@rapappathepepper3996]

Oh gosh, I still remember the days way before Card-Jitsu when everything about ninjas was just rumours lol I actually still have all my cards from the physical tins (I kept ALL my Club Penguin merch; games, books, plushies, figures, etc.) - ever thankful for those golden code cards that would let you essentially level up without gaining EXP(?), I struggled with Card-Jitsu Water so much honestly. Thank you for doing these videos about the game, I can't thank you enough for being part of the group of people that made my childhood the best. I often wish there'd had been an OST CD for the game (or maybe there was and I never caught wind of it, who knows), but there are plenty of KZbin playlists for that now haha

I would love to watch it early but I have an appointment at the exact hour it comes out 😭😭your channel is extremely addictive

[@Blub_blubby]

I still have the real life card-jitsu set in my house. I was so hyped playing it as a kid and even taught my mum. Extra points for the 'special' card with the extra code. I also realised how much I actually remember the songs as I was humming away to them as though I'm back in 2011.

[@dippedfeathers]

Thank you for making this, Chris. Card-Jitsu was one of my favorite club penguin memories, C-J Fire in particular. The battle song for that game is carved into my brain. Being honest, I hadn’t heard the C-J water music much before this. That game looks really cool but it was so resource intensive that when I was young my computer couldn’t handle it. Great to hear the music from it now!

[@lilJess0831]

This video immediately brought me back to the intrigue and excitement of Club Penguin ninja lore! I can remember doing all of the in-game rituals that were rumored to spawn ninjas before Card Jitsu came out. Now I’m sitting here gushing to my boyfriend about the early days of a silent dojo, all the way up to the element spin-off games. This was the epitome of mystique to me as a kid, and yknow what? It still is!

[@lilJess0831]

Out of all the CP music, this piece has stuck with me the most. Definitely my favorite :D

[@speedways7190]

As someone developing my own game, seeing these videos about the development of a game I grew up with can really help me get into the mood to make something. Seeing how songs I loved as a kid had to go through multiple changes makes me feel better about my inexperience making music and seeing how I can sometimes make multiple variants on a song and never have it quite feel right.

I literally came back to this channel yesterday wtf

[@doofs]

i was NOT prepared for that jazzy bassline in the second card jitsu demo LOL. I'm hilariously getting skull girls energy from it. In a bizarre way, I almost prefer the second demo because of how it clearly it's _not_ ninja music, it's super silly and comedic and I think that really lends to the chaos of card-jitsu's faux martial arts. I will also say, you were talking a lot about not really having any great drum samples 2008, but IMO those really synthetic oversaturated and driven samples are so distinctly club penguin to me. They're super invocative of time and even though that's absolutely nostalgia talking, I think retroactively they really add to the charm. As always, I love you sharing your insights on the game Chris! These videos are always a blast to watch.

[@janesisco]

I always feel bad about Card-Jitsu bc as a child I was stupid and would get upset playing the game. Why? "How am I supposed to know what card to play if I can't see what card the opponent is going to play?" I'd try to play it, use my highest number cards, get upset and rage quit. Could not wrap my mind around it. There's so much love put into Card-Jitsu I feel like I failed as the target demographic and I'm so sorry. If the game was still around I'd try to play it again. Love the music, I still hum Club Penguin music to myself to this day

[@ElectroAde]

Question: Can you make a video talking about the "Famous" penguins and what it was like on the other side? I always heard rumors that they were accounts that you could actually log into if you secretly guessed the password and that there were lots of pre-programmed phrases for them.

[@NerdKirby]

I can't believe I didn't watch this as soon as it released, this video is a DREAM come true!! I had such a fantastic time hearing the early versions of the classic Card-Jitsu theme, I'm so glad you found those! And seeing early concepts as well was crazy. I've always adored your ninja-themed compositions so I'm beyond happy to see you finally made a video about them and after so long, it's such a blessing and it's super appreciated!! And of course I can't forget about that remastered/reworked version of the classic theme! You definitely improved it so much and I have to admit it gave me chills, it sounded majestic and the added parts were super neat too.

I can only understand the difficulties of early projects, where unfortunately the more fun parts are put (temporarily) to one side, but that's what all their charms are about. I find the first music for Card-Jitsu very beautiful, and even if it doesn't have the nostalgia of the final version, it fits very well with the theme. Thanks again for these videos :D

[@alvaroriva]

And also, at 16:00, I was one of the people who actually emailed Chris talking how much the art of early Club Penguin (until late 2010) is special for me, and how it gives me such a intense and comforting nostalgia. But I must say that there are many songs from this CP era that I'm sure could bring me down to tears nowadays. Club Penguin took a very special role in mt childhood, and I'm very thankful for Chris and all the amazing people involved in the project.

CLUB PENGUIN FANS EATING GOOD TONIGHT BOYS

[@daelillee]

some thoughts while watching this video: ninja music #2 is FIREEEE! but i see how it wasn't the right choice for card-jitsu. the theme that you ended up landing on was perfect and i still know the entire thing by heart. i never knew that the dojo theme for the online game was inspired by the DS game. i played both growing up and hearing that they were so similar made sense since they were the same place, but i totally thought the DS dojo theme was inspired by the online dojo theme because the DS version came AFTER club penguin. that's so cool! i love how you took his idea and expanded on it. it made a perfect theme for the online dojo and a great transition between the online game vs the DS game. card-jitsu fire was my absolute favourite of the three spin off games. hearing all the tracks next to each just shows how big of an improvement those new instrument plugs were. i'm feeling very nostalgic now. i still have my sensei dressed in his fire suit plushie. he lives on a shelf in my kitchen protecting my spices. coming back to card-jitsu water as an adult makes some much more sense because as a child i NEVER understood how to play that game. i would just spam click stuff and i never finished the water suit (also i don't think my computer could even handle the gameplay and graphics at the time). i am very grateful to these rewritten versions and i have now completed it. i agree too that the more airy and bubbly sounding tracks would've fit much better. i really enjoy the first one. i'm okay with not hearing card-jitsu snow because i couldn't get my shitty 2000s computer to run the gameplay LOL! NO WAY CARD-JITSU 2024 REMASTERD!!!!!!!
