Hi-Fi Rush: I am a ROCKSTAR moment | Track 11

[@Drake_Grazer]

I like how Chai has an inspiring memory from almost everyone, but all he can recall from CNMN was "I like your pants".

[@heardofrvb]

Eh, good enough.

[@Kaltsit-]

That’s because all of CNMN’s memories were amazing

[@elitetrooper119]

I love that part. He goes. Meh good enough. 😂😂😂

[@TheBlackAntagonist]

You could say that CNMN's comment was the truest expression of what he'd always thought. That despite his posturing, he's cool when he's being himself.

[@wezth]

Chai really spawned out of nowhere and instantly became one of my favorite videogame characters, ever. He’s an idiot, he’s good with his guitar and has some killer lines throughout the game. I dig it

[@jaziliynn]

He has big Fry energy. It's so good

[@scarlightemperor3410]

​@@jaziliynn Very accurate. On so many levels

[@justjuniorjaw]

When you expect cringe, but found out it's the most emotional moment of the game and fits to Chai's character and situation.

[@i24kpandamonium26]

“I don’t need a guitar. I AM a rockstar.” These words showed just how much Chai had come as a character, wanting to be a rockstar and questioning if he was even capable of doing so to becoming so much more than he believed, modern gaming take notes, this is how a good character is made.

[@naman6517]

EXACTLY. Make the character go through an experience and match their sentences with those experiences provided without being cringe.

[@guts-141]

Looking at you Forspoken writers

[@skootergirl22]

The cliche of "the power of friendship" works so well

[@laudj_art]

When it does it does

[@demsterclippy4252]

Its a cliché because it got overused. And it got overused... 👏because 👏 it 👏 works. 👏

[@naman6517]

This game is has a emotional roller coaster. when Chai the most carefree and energetic character lost hope it fucking hits hard and then that sequence were you see how Chai has come, not giving up it really pulled some strings of my heart. Call me a emotional bastard idk this game is GREAT.

[@i24kpandamonium26]

No no, your right this is emotionally awesome

[@neog8029]

It's a cheesy feel-good story done so right seeing these goofball misfits pull through.

[@Zueiro_P.R]

ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER

[@alexwhite3232]

It’s really well done. It’s crazy how far he and all of them come, and how natural it feels too. Chai is borderline insufferable at the start and at the end you are just gripped. This game is truly special.

[@EvelynL.1112]

​@@alexwhite3232 I agree, I found Chai pretty annoying at first but he grew on me over time

[@jjjabbers]

The detail of 808's ears makes this moment all that more special. They really are connected...

[@AhstTraotee]

I never saw that when playing through it, thanks for pointing it out!

[@SquashyButton]

This game was such a refreshing breath of fresh air and it did something that a lot of modern games seem to forget. Hi-Fi Rush fully understands that it's a video game, and that video games are supposed to be fun to play above all else. Xbox has an amazing new franchise on their hands. I'd love to see more Hi-Fi Rush games in the future, and it'd be awesome if sequels explored different genres of music.

[@zephyr5297]

Now that's a thought I could get behind 😎

[@haydenTenno-]

I’d throw hundreds for another perfect rhythm game like it

[@cloke3076]

Didn’t age well. Sadly. RIP Tango, you deserved better.

[@thelonemask]

So Kale is so bad at running a business that he literally has to mind control the consumers to buy his products. Talk about pathetic.

[@kanekiwhite7827]

When you realize his mind control could be profitable in other areas

[@ridjenite]

Pretty much. How many people got to where they're at because they kissed the right people's and high amounts of ass.

[@ultronsigma8665]

I would use SPECTRA to force people to see movies they don't wanna watch and super praise it that they don't make rant videos of it lol.

[@burgerbitereal]

he even needed his mom's help to do it lmao

[@Solkpjish]

Honestly it hits kinda close to home and makes him a surprisingly terrifying villain for me. His goal is so simple, but that makes it kind of real somehow.

[@guts-141]

3:30 if anyone wants to listen to the music on repeat

[@zombiemagnate6567]

I got chills from this , an awesome set piece to show the true power of Chai and his friends. Thank you for this one.

[@naman6517]

THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.

[@gamechallengerwolf3856]

This was the best part of the whole game.

[@Skunkaly]

I love how furious chai is after he breaks his guitar because the whole game he has been trying to prove he is more than a "defect" and he was so close-but according to kale- there is no way he can win now, there is no way he can prove himself.

[@ninetailedfox579121]

He thinks that the only reason he's with his new friends is because of the powers his arm gives him, but then realizes that the strength was within himself he whole time and that they put their faith in him and not his arm. More meaningful character development in this 5 minute scene than most modern main characters get in an entire game.

[@chunkyl2719]

When Kale says that chai is nothing without his tecnology I was like MEN, CHAI LITERALLY TANK EVERYTHING My pal is not nearly human

[@skootergirl22]

What?

[@thyrussendria8198]

@@skootergirl22 I think they are referring to the fact that Chai appears to have a 100% resistance to blunt force trauma

[@Clementinewoofwoof]

I think it’s absolutely ironic that this game has a plot about greedy, corporations, and the majority of the gaming industry is exactly like the bad guy in this film

[@dyrania]

I think this game echos the love that these developers put in here. It's clearly filled with charm and detail, all for a solid price of $30. This games themes also play towards how it was released and announced. With it having little corporate involvement, barely having any ads and even being shadow dropped.

[@shinvoldemort5852]

Imagine using SPECTRA to do the following... Force people to super praise Multiverse of Madness or Love and Thunder heck the entire Phase 4 enough that they don't make rant vids or critique it. Force people to watch the DCEU just to make money an ensure its survival. Force people to buy the most glitchiest, cringiest, buggy, and/or unfinished game to make money. Kale is very relatable.

[@guts-141]

@@shinvoldemort5852 and that is why Hi-Fi Rush deserves to be GOTY for reminding us the good old gaming days

[@schmity007]

I think the parallels are deliberate, especially with line like the ones lambasting Zanzo for crunch time and putting more into the fight than his budget allows

[@garr_inc]

@@schmity007 That, Marketing getting more money than R&D...

[@haydenTenno-]

You have no idea how much I love this game. I’ve been hunting for the perfect rhythm game for years now and this game is exactly what I was after. No other game reaches this level of perfection. I legitimately cried when I realised that.

[@ranasi1210]

Damn this moment when "Reflection" plays hits so HARD. Ima cry again :(

[@instinctfan23]

Felt, SO MUCH here. I messed up like 3 times during this just bc I already cried like hell

[@ranasi1210]

@@instinctfan23 Ikr!! But I am SOOO thankful that game is not punishing you at that particular moment if you mess something up, and Chai even says something like: No, I won't give up..

[@_Yewrei]

This game, unbelievably, skyrocketed to my top 5 games of all time as soon as I finished it. It is truly a masterpiece. From visuals, story, characters, music, gameplay, and even replayablity it ticks all the boxes in all the right places. If people haven't played this game, I URGE you to play this game as soon as possible. It is phenomenal and is EASILY a GOTY contender. Every character is unique and lovable and the villains are just that; villains. The game knows what it is and how to carry itself. It doesnt try to reinvent the wheel, it doesnt try to be something new, and it keeps everything in chaotically harmonic. Its strange but everything that feels goofy and emotional feel exactly that when they are supposed to be. It's refreshing to see what games can be when developers have the love and care sunk into a project they truly want the public to love as well. I genuinely hope that the devs and all those who worked on this game know just how much love this game is getting and how fast it's becoming an instant classic.

[@adamsansom3279]

This feels even better than the "legendary theme" from Gitaro man. And I loved that song.

[@CDJAM-webm]

this moment actually made me tear up for a while which is something ive especially never expected from a video game... holy shoot

[@deathmastersful]

I love games like these. Wish Sony allowed for stuff like this instead of the big super graphic games

[@Colejones9505]

Do you mean games with a fun art style and all around feel to them?

[@joeystrike]

@@Colejones9505 probably.

[@Colejones9505]

@@joeystrike if that's what he means I agree we need more games like this.

[@deathmastersful]

@@Colejones9505 Yes, yes yes, yes a thousand times yes. Sony is too focused on supporting realistic, big overworldie games with a "complex" and "interesting" story. Microsoft has been going in somewhat the opposite direction and allowing passion projects like hi-fi to be made

[@Colejones9505]

@@deathmastersful I agree. And while those games can be fun trying to be realistic limits what you can do but with game like Hi Fi Rush or I would say ratchet and clank, or Asura's wraith they have a more cartoon, or anime style to them that lets them do a lot more. Do you get what I meant?

[@GalacticGP]

when i got to that part myself on Hard Mode, i loved that part soooo much that it is one of my favorite parts in the game in fact i might start a new game but on a higher difficulty

[@silvadic2207]

Fun fact: look at 808’s ears. They’re moving to the beat.

[@firetailedfox]

This was probably one of the best games i've played in a long time. Absolutely game of the year in my book. This part of the game, was the point where it became my favorite

[@HauntinHex]

What I don't get is...why doesn't Kale just have surveys, and the most popular make/model/color wins is the the one he makes. Puts the effort on the consumers too, he's lazy so why go through this much when there's that obvious choice

[@ridjenite]

Because he doesn't have the mind for it. He wants the cushy, make everyone just buy our products kind of job, one where he can just sit back and rake in the dough without any actual work. It isn't about being lazy. It's about being perpetually lazy.

[@lucagimrom4787]

you really expect the trope corporation to actually make an effort?

[@guts-141]

Why do you think Roxanne and Peppermint doesn't like him? He's a lazy douchebag who thinks he's smart when he's not that smart and will never be

[@schmity007]

That's actually the point. Kale is canonically a terrible businessman

[@ninetailedfox579121]

@@schmity007 If you actually think he's a terrible businessman then you have no idea how business works. Business is all about making the most money while costing the least amount of resources.

"You might not see it but we're in this together, and that's good enough for me. We trust each other and I know that now. With or without a guitar I know that I am at heart a Rockstar."

[@ColtonGamingTV]

This song and negotiation are my favorite songs in hi fi rush.

[@TheBlackAntagonist]

The best characters could work in any setting you drop them in. Chai is one such character I think.

[@megagamer2874]

I'm imagining this scene but in a different way and for an OC I made up for Kyoryuuger named Yami Wazuki. Here's a bit of context for his backstory. When D was defeated by Daigo, his soul split in two and one of the halves became part of his soul which made him half human and half Deboss army. Now here's the scene I'll show. When the Deboss tries to control Torin with the dark song, they also control Yami since D's soul is a part of him. He even grows giant because of that half but during the giant battle, he fights the control because of the bonds he has with his friends and the human half in him and he breaks free from the control. He even says this when he's about to break free "I don't need D's power. I am Kyoryuu Navy!!"

[@darrastanswiftfury7497]
