[@Gamer88334]

In any other game, it’d be like: Protagonist: “Bro, I seriously don’t have time to fight you.” Protagonist’s brother/rival: “I’ll attack first!” Protagonist: “FUCK!” And unlike this game, whereas the protags could have fled at any point during the battle, you’re usually trapped by either an object or a barrier that either has no explanation for its existence (as in it logically shouldn’t be there but it is) or has an explanation for its existence. Like in Okami. I forgot the reason why the barriers pop up when you get into a fight, but I assume there is one because your friend eventually tells you how to flee from battle, which involves breaking said barriers with a specific brush technique that you learn early on.

Is it just me, or does DK West got a major ego issue? He sees Zuko trying to be like him as an attack on his reputation, tells Zuke to stop blaming him for everything, then blamed Zuke for everything that went wrong in college and expects him to apologize. What really sets me off is how he ignores Zuke’s phone calls for what appears to be years, then shows up to steal B2 Junction’s fans and still expects some sort of apology from Zuke. This musical sequence, much like the entire game, is awesome, but I’d punch DK West if he was my brother.

West may be egotistical and foolish but can you blame him for having an ego when he is implied to have once tried to overthrow NSR just like his brother is doing, all on his own with his rapping? He used to be really good at what he did, but he failed to bring about change like he went out to do. His brother also is essentially one-upping him at every turn. Nadia preferred Zuke to West. Zuke has more fans than him now. West didn't see this as Zuke pursuing what he loved inspired by West, he instead saw it as Zuke continuously showing West that he's a failure. He failed in college, he failed to have the girl of his dreams, and he failed to bring change to Vinyl City, and Zuke one-upped him by getting a Masters, being with his dream girl, and beginning to bring about the same change as he tried to. West is not totally innocent, but there's some justifications that can be made for his actions.

DK West is truly embodiment of Malaysian... From the way he's talking while being chill, using a shadow puppetry shows as his boss battle mechanics and even a crowds joining a dikir while shouts "Ewah!" DK West came from Kelantan Bro :D

[@GLIEPNIR]

It's actually amazing the level of details they add here... West throwing more stuff at random while Zuke tries to follow a flow. When their arguments become more heated there's less healing items and the flow of demon thingies goes crazier, and when they start to coldown this changes, more healing items and the patterns aren't as wild. The hidden messages in the patterns and lastly on the second fight after Zuke says West isn't his brother his Shadow puppet takes a beating, even on the ending strikes, it's usually two or three hits and west is finally down, but for that one, the puppet took like 7 hits...

[@Nova_Ghost_Gamer]

[@flame_warp]

I appreciate what they were trying to do here, but does it bother anyone else that in their reconciliation they...really don't do _anything_ to talk about how West hurt Zuke? It's all focused on how Zuke still respects him, but it felt pretty obvious that the biggest problem was that West had absolutely no respect for _Zuke_ . Taking out an old embarrassing childhood memory-one that he, apparently, had to actively go FIX HIMSELF-to bully him with both before AND AFTER the last fight, even after Zuke had gotten so fed up with West's bullshit that he disowned the dude, and yet the whole time it's just about how *West* was and wasn't hurt.

[@empathy6717]

I'll admit that is one thing that bothers me about this encounter.

[@Idunnaz]

The whole thing stems from a misunderstanding, west's misunderstanding, of zukes motivations. He knows and respects zukes success but assumes zuke is doing it to one-up him, because of his own feelings of inadequacy when he fell off in college. Zuke wasn't, of course, but dk never understood that until told so (by mayday), because zuke plays into the misunderstanding when confronted - he keeps insulting his brother and calling him a loser when west's issues are brought up. Which isnt an unrealistic response to being attacked and told he's unoriginal. But zuke does go too far at times, there's the disowning but he also tells west it's his own fault nsr burned his car. It's a failure of communication on both parts. As for the tape recorder, that's just brotherly teasing for ya tbh, it's an antagonistic relationship but it's mostly done with love. From west's perspective it was a reminder of times before they were being openly hostile to each other. Smartest move? No, but brothers can be stupid like that, lol

I really wish the lyrics were much much better. They're almost always off beat, and there are only a few times that they successfully rhyme, even though they really seem to try it alot. Here's how I would have written this line: "I was stupid, I was dumb, I was foolish, I was blinded. There had to be some better words to say, but I just couldn't find it."

[@justjoking5252]

You're not wrong, but by then it had transformed very quickly from a traditional battle to more... rap therapy? It's very likely that they wanted to show that it really didn't matter about the rapping anymore, but it still would have been nice to have it line up regardless.

[@SylentVoidkeeper]

That’s kinda how I feel about the whole game honestly. Like, it’s obvious they made a good soundtrack before they actually made a game to go with it. And it shows. The ideas, the concepts, the soundtrack is pretty fantastic, but then the core gameplay ends up feeling really clunky and unpolished. Add to that a story that kinda flatlines and an ending that really just starts and ends in the last 10 minutes and you end up with a disappointing project. Charging 40 bucks at launch was not doing them any favors as well. If it had launched at 20 dollars, maybe it would have gotten more attention. It’s honestly not worth full admission.

[@afineegg1040]

Personally I feel like it really reflects on the fact that West and Zuke are moreso fighting than being in a rap battle. West tends to rhyme a lot more, especially in the first encounter, because he's trying to control the situation and stay on top, but as the rap battles continue they become more focused on the actual anger between the two characters.

[@Cookieznothere]

DK West is literally a JoJo reference on his own. Never played this game but I love it I also loved how they rekindled their relationship in the end

[@shippey2489]

Me at the first song: Hell yeah! Zuke is calling him out! Me at the second song: Okay... maybe I do run away from all my problems... maybe I related to DK... Me when Zuke said "You ain't no brother of mine" and kept rapping: *crying but still throwing it back* Me when DK played that old tape: ...Older siblings always has blackmail about you. Me at the end: ...Ight, I'm gonna call me sisters.

Bro when zuke disowned DK West on the spot I was like "damn boy you didn't have to do that"

[@dimensionwatcher5517]

1:31 DK West: "I forgot your birthday, you angry." Me: In all honesty, I'd be mad if my friends and family forgot my birthday too. 1:34 DK West: "I don't answer your messages, you angry." Me: It depends on what the text was, but I can see why DK West thinks that's not a reason to be angry. 1:37. DK West: "I sold your drumset, you angry." Me: I can see why Zuke would be mad about that, if DK West didn't let him know beforehand or without his permission. But DK West did tell him beforehand or with his permission, than I guess that's why DK West thinks that there's no reason to be angry.

[@littledeath9540]

Interesting but the English delivery is awkward and clunky. I imagine it’s better in its original language

[@gracekelley2907]

Agreed, I listened to the first rap battle in French on Spotify out of curiosity, and that was as smooth as butter. The English version has its charm, but after a while, I can’t help but focus on the clunkiness , sadly. But I just heard the first version though. Maybe things improved with the others.

[@Theflameblast22]

Not to give them undo credit but it might be an intentional thing. Zuke raps on beat while DK West just tries to slam over maintaining a flow, which is super in character for them both.

[@gracekelley2907]

@@Theflameblast22 That does make more sense, Zuke still is pretty levelheaded and would try to maintain a decent flow while DK West would let his emotions get in the way and end up focusing more on the battling part more than rapping.

The switch version on the second bout, it is virtually impossible because there is a bug that has yet to be fixed that causes the healing items to not appear

[@anaclarareislins5963]

I know this game has so many flaws(bugs,camera etc) BUT THE EFFORT THEY DID. Every figth against any of them is unique in an way,and they would if they wanted to be like "man fuck it this dk west just do something" but no they did something so interesting. I love the music of dk west and sayu is so beautifully crafted amd they hired an Malian(sorry if i spelled wrong) to voice him,and he speaks the language only when he is fighting he speaks english and i always see some Malian just super happy bc they are representative in the game. I honestly get it how the game is cringe or is bugged..but i dont think is bad like some people are always saying

[@susie1175]

[@vante2]

I like how the entire premise of these fights is West just not wanting his brother to forget and disrespect him; just wants to be part of his life, and Zuke doesn't want to admit that he still respects and loves his annoying older brother regardless of the torment he suffered cuz of him (albeit a lot of it unintentionally cuz West is extremely aloof).
