Wow....each time I hold down the 'Transform' button....THIS IS WHAT MAYDAY HAS BEEN PLAYING THE WHOLE TIME ?! MIND BLOWN.

[@azelkimochi863]

Yeah took me a while to figure that out. Problem is you get targeted. And most likely hurt in the process

[@TheSilver13579]

Unfortunately on the switch version it has a watered down version of the transformation solos

Eve: Now I understand... she is not just fire, she is magma. That which forges new ground for us to walk on. Mayday: …? Zuke: I believe that's her way of saying she now knows you and likes you. Mayday: Oh. Nice!

[@WannabeWryter]

I can see her saying this.

[@nikoyoart]

this is such an Eve line

[@Tea-gh8cu]

fuck wish this was real

[@WitchyThyme]

Zuke was right: Eve probably would like Mayday if she got to know her, because despite calling her pedestrian she really seems to get her tempo.

[@WannabeWryter]

I imagine it would be a Jade and Tori/Cat relationship Eve being a slightly artsier Jade.

I love how Mayday (and zukes) solos actually correspond with the song. I thought it was just random

Originally it was (you can find some videos of the beta) and it just messed with the soundtrack. It was one of the main complaints they had.

I think that's one of the biggest problems with the game imo. You never get to just hear your side play, whereas all the enemies are blasting amazing music

[@Laura-zc6rm]

@@Kat-xy7fm damn really?? Because these solos are pretty loud, can disrupt gameplay, and there is a rock version already

[@Kat-xy7fm]

@@Laura-zc6rm But the solos are only really intended to be played for a few seconds, to the point that you really can't tell that they're actually playing something to match the current music. That's not the same as having cohesive music. We basically only have the one song from Bunk Bed Junction, would have been great to have a Bunk Bed Junction song for Tatiana, at the very least

[@DistortedDevice]

To be honest. I keep coming back to this song, and Mayday really gets EvE. If you listen to the other guitar vs ones that Luna did, This is the only song where Mayday's guitar sounds like she's actually complimenting the vibes of the song, instead of sounding like a battle. It genuinely sounds like she's trying to understand her and compliment her style vs just attacking it or doing better than it. if that makes sense. The opening guitar riffs really hit it home because it sounds somber or subtle.

[@VampLovr54]

I absolutely love how they actually put full length rock solos into the transformation sounds instead of a simple loop, the amount of effort put into the game (and especially the music) is just,, so good..

[@memetea3562]

[@yourlocaldemon2195]

Headcanon that May and Zuke, when becoming official NSR artists, preferred not to have a district of their own. This way they can easily join the other artists in their concerts for collabs, this song plays during Eve’s concert with them. (Also Eve was reluctant to let May join but after her solo she kinda just looks at Zuke and goes “I see.”)

[@sassyfrenchpotato]

Hearing both of their styles merge into one song is incredibly satisfying! I can picture an animated series of this game and in the climax of the confrontation between the two of them this mix starts playing in the background for a moment 😍🔥

[@DrunkenLuna]

Yeah! Whoever's the artist behind this guitar play is great. Love their work on this track in particular!

Maybe I’m crazy but Eves theme is psychedelic and trippy right, so it makes sense that maydays guitar is a little slower, like 60-70s psychedelic rock. It slaps.

[@Veryfreshveryflourish24]

I love how solos while still following the beat go on their way. It's like while mayday and zuke are still rebelling they are still appreciating the music.

[@graetestfanever1]

"There was no way it should have sound this good. But it did. The rifts flowed like silk into a melody of satin beats. Yet, Mayday couldn't stop from raging a little, she was, after a fire. Yet, like a earthen ring, her fire never spilled over. It stayed constant; contained, yet still wild. And Eve, for once had to be the calming force. It turns out, fire and earth do mix, if only a little..."

[@tacoslurpee12345]

I'd like to point out now that whenever there is music playing in the background, either it be facing against a boss or your doing one of the approach areas. Mayday and Zuke will also be playing some sort of solo that goes along with the music

[@cherrytachi3530]

( a lil bit of spoiler ahead ) Whenever I come back to this mashup, there’s the comments saying that Mayday’s solo is complimenting EVE’s as if she trying to understand her, whereas in other ones the Luna has done, it sounds as tho Mayday is one upping everyone. Also thinking about the context behind Zeke and EVE’s past where they once were together. I like to think that Mayday ( for Zeke’s sake ) is trying to understand EVE and how/why her and Zeke were even a thing to begin with. Also! Another thing I took away but from Friday Night Funkin when you’re battling the mom, there were moments where they sang together and people equate it to them being in an argument but then agreeing on some points. And carrying that idea over to this, it really does sound like Mayday is conveying points that in her own way, may or may not a-line with EVE’s. Sorry for the ramble!!! Coming back to this after a couple years and really analyzing the music and feeling the beat, it wonderful!! :D

[@DrunkenLuna]

A headcannon I held onto for the longest time is that Mayday does these solos on the fly. She doesn't research or listen to the songs before hand. When confronted said bosses she does do her best to out perform them. However, when it comes to Eve, its more compassionate than other her other guitar performances...? I suppose. I think a lot of what makes this apart from other tracks is that Mayday knows how sensitive the situation once Eve reveals that she and Zuke had some kind of relationship. When she mentioned her being the tectonic plates and Zuke being the Sea, I think that was just her expressing how well Zuke was at understanding how she artistically viewed the world. When Zuke ran off due to the fire incident, she felt like she had no one else. It's that feeling you get from a breakup where the whole world is zeroing in on itself and you feel so alone. I'm sure the only way for her to cope years later was having support from NSR/Tatiana. I always like to think that, for this game, Mayday's solos are a peek at how she feels. Vs Tatiana feels fast and angry, especially towards the end. Vs DJSSN is very erratic because its her first fight. Vs Yinu has her being competitive and trying to harmonize but still trying to outshine her. Just examples but you get the gist of it. I guess for Eve, its more 'relaxed' and less erratic due to her knowing how sensitive it will end up for Zuke and in way shows that Mayday is willing to befriend and understand her despite the harsh protest Eve displays when thrown into the red zone. Basically, I totally agree with what you said and I have always had a soft spot for this boss fight.

[@Ministevo1]

I love the format that you're using for the thumbnail (and video)

[@DrunkenLuna]

Thanks! I'm not really that great at graphic design so I'm keeping it really simple as I try and stich more tracks. I'm so far liking the Mayday vs boss tracks but I'd like to really have Zuke join in too sometime once I nail down how his drumming sounds in game.

Keep in mind how most solo’s she’s rocking out with her own melodies yet still managing to fit in, but in this one, mayday is following the main melody

[@AarenYASS]

Them vs Eve are my fave solo-offs. Unlike the others where it sounds like they're trying to compete over them and win, this one is very complimentary along with Zuke's. They're trying to show they understand each other rather than better the other and that difference really shows unlike the other bosses like this. -

I love this one the most because unlike against other musicians, the guitar solo seems to work with Eve's song in harmony, not overwhelming it.

[@user-fx2eg3cv6d]

THIS IS THE MAYEVE ANTHEM

[@Montesama314]

The two ladies may be on opposite sides, but Eve and Mayday are very much alike and their music shows their similar vibe. They're both very passionate about their artistic expression, but also sometimes insensitive about what they do to others. The crucial difference is that Mayday is able to step back, see her errors, and apologize timely, while poor Eve didn't realize what she had done before Zuke was long gone. (Zuke's cowardice during the breakup also didn't help.) I think Mayday's and Eve's similarity is part of why Zuke partnered with Mayday. What he liked about Eve is what he likes about Mayday to an extent, though whether that may rise to romantic feelings for May one day is unknown.
