No Straight Roads: vs EVE - In-Game mix (Mayday's side)

[@dazzdazzle8758]

It's so awesome how Eve's battle theme sort of has an unreliable narrator thing going on. Can you really be sure whether Zuke or Mayday is hearing the true track? Is Zuke so biased that he only hears the tracks underlying message and blocks out the more "experimental parts," or does Mayday hate EDM so much that she writes off Eve's music as insane without really listening to it? For all we know, neither Zuke nor Mayday's side could be the true song.

[@BBWahoo]

Your brain neurons are based

[@lucassworldofletsplays9270]

I see it from Eve’s perspective. She still holds feelings for Zuke, which is why his side’s music is calmer. For Mayday, while Eve doesn’t hate her, she hates the idea of her stealing Zuke away from her, which is why Mayday’s side’s music is more intense. It’s also present visually, with Zuke’s side being more serene than Mayday’s side. Both Mayday and Zuke are hearing the song correctly, it’s just that they’re different songs that just happen to share a base.

I kid, it’s interesting to hear people theorize this…

[@Technotoadnotafrog]

I had figured that with Zuke's side, it's because Eve still kinda likes him, so she's holding back.

As amazing as DJSS's boss fight is, I find Eve's to be much more...idk, elegant, beautiful, emotional, idk what term to use. It's just so incredible. Not just the music, no, but the entire encounter itself. And the energy is really just something else. This fight almost brought tears to my eyes.

[@susie1175]

Someone on KZbin (idk which video) commented on how Eve’s theme was weak compared to the others. I called bs on that, because Eve focuses more on her artwork than her music. Despite that she does a pretty good job, as the music itself reflects on her current emotions

[@Theveesmyreligion]

If you pay close attention , water & earth (sea & Tectonic plates, as she calls) Do not Mix, but they channel each other in a way that they both make a chemical reaction that makes fire. So Mayday, is not pedestrian, it is the result of the connection as a person

[@PMBITHHAHOW12]

"Hey! The name's Mayday, okay?!"

[@DistortedDevice]

9:59 is actually so insane. The one thing about EDM or instrumentals if done right, you can literally hear the emotion. Phase 3+Partial Rock is literally Eve trying to annihilate Mayday with all of her strength, rage, jealously, and intensity and Mayday is just fighting back JUST as hard.

[@lavenderhexx]

That's my favorite part

[@Death-rn4df]

the partial edm with the partial rock is so sexy wtf

[@traumacore420]

9:59 God the intensity of this part with edm and partial rock together feels so amazing to hear I wish they would release the tracks like this! I would listen to them on repeat 😭

[@Multi-A]

Maydays side definetly shows how experimental Eves EDM really is

[@armandomartinez3524]

Why hello, Zuke. Take a seat, Zuke. Remember this chair? Or has it fled past the walls of your memories. Not that I would be surprised if it has. A chair, by design is never maid to hold such- Sentimental values. This chair was once yours, Zuke. But you threw it away. Shh shh shh, all is fine. You are forgiven. Now lay yourself soon this vessel, And accept my gift. Feel the sands of time flow through your body, As you once had. She embraces me for who I am. I love her, but a chair without a sitter is left with no purpose to exist. Ugh. Just as I thought. You share none of Zuke's artistic perception. Girl, do you not see Tatiana holding the backrest to her bossoms? *HELLO?* Do you not get what it is ment to represent?! UGH! ZUKE! WHY MUST YOU PICK SUCH A PEDESTRIAN GIRL?! YOU- Zuke. Remember collage? Remember when I was the tectonic plates, And you were the sea? The heat we channeled when your waves broke upon my earth was *euphoric.* We were untouchable! Do you not miss those times? Do you not yearn for that feeling again? Instead, you left me for this- This girl?! Have you dropped your standards?! That is sad. so, so sad. But...You are here now. You are in front of me. We can save together, as today, We celebrate your redemption, Zuke. So...Open your mind... Sink into my gaze... And *LET YOURSELF BE REBORN AGAIN!*

[@Theveesmyreligion]

IDK why I would Fall for that lines. I would feel awful if I ran away like that. I will apologize, and actually leave Mayday behind If the game could give you the option, (then you would only have mayday vs Tatiana)

[@guidestwave2958]

Fun fact: Eve's intro music plays based on which track is on.

[@william95121]

I CAN CONFIRM THIS. The intro sounds so weird with the EDM version

[@darchon65]

I'm confused, which parts?

[@TheSilver13579]

[@nyrokushii]

@@TheSilver13579 when you switched to zuke It plays the normal version or rock And if you switch it to mayday it plays the edm version

[@St4rryTV]

For anyone who's a little confused on what tracks play for each side, here's what I got from it: Note: This doesn't apply to the Switch version: (Warning this is very long, read slowly to understand) "Enter Eve" plays as normal before the fight during Eve and Zuke's conversation. "Intro" plays when Eve talks about College before the fight. "Phase 1"'s whole instrumental in-game works in a weird way. It's always: Base -> (Lead Base + Backing Rock) -> Rock From what I've seen, it ALWAYS plays in this order on Zuke's side of Phase 1, (and for 2 player). It actually plays like this on Mayday's side too as when the fight starts, it automatically switches to playing as Mayday. The only time when EDM plays in Phase 1 at all, is if you switch back to Mayday after switching from Zuke. So if you switch to Zuke and then back to Mayday, it plays: EDM -> (Lead EDM + Backing Rock) -> Rock This means that on Mayday's in-game mix it would be: Base -> EDM -> (Lead EDM + Backing Rock) -> Rock The way Phase 2 and Phase 3 work in-game is much more simpler, it plays Base for Zuke, and EDM for Mayday (It isn't labelled as EDM in this mix, but it is what plays). Zuke's side for both Phase 2 and Phase 3: Base -> (Lead Base + Backing Rock) -> Rock Mayday's side for both Phase 2 and Phase 3: EDM -> (Lead EDM + Backing Rock) -> Rock Note: Phase 3 Rock also plays when your controlling both players at the same time in the final tunnel. Phase 4 always plays as Rock. In-game, Mayday doesn't play in Phase 4. But in this mix, I think it was a good idea to keep Phase 4 to make the song feel complete. 2 Player acts as if you never switch character so for both sides it's: Phase 1: Base -> Lead Base + Backing Rock -> Rock Phase 2: EDM -> Lead EDM + Backing Rock -> Rock Phase 3: EDM -> Lead EDM + Backing Rock -> Rock Phase 4: Rock The switch version has a entirely different structure (I'm not as certain about the order here), As Zuke it’s: Phase 1: Base Phase 2: (Lead Rock + Backing Base) Phase 3: (Lead Base + Rock) Phase 3 (Final Tunnel): (Lead Base + Rock) Phase 4: Base - I've actually seen 2 playthroughs, one of which actually played (Lead Base + Backing Rock) so I'm unsure now. As Mayday it's: Phase 1: Base -> EDM (Plays IF you switch to her after playing as Zuke) Phase 2: (Lead EDM + Backing Base) Phase 3: (Lead EDM + Backing Base) -> (Lead Base + Rock) [It changes to match Zuke's side] Phase 3 (Final Tunnel): (Lead Base + Rock) [It changes to match Zuke's side] Phase 4: (None)

[@pika-stashe404]

Damn. Now I feel like I missed a bit of experience playing the Switch Version of this game.

[@Agronaut022]

God, this is exactly how it works, I really didnt know the Switch version was that diffrent too. If i ever get around to making switch renditions then this is gonna be super helpfull!

[@St4rryTV]

Something I should've clarified in the message, "Lead" here refers to both the Melody, and the Rhythm. [As from what I've gotten from other comments, the boss tracks for each version are in 3 parts, the Melody, the Backing, and the Rhythm.

[@Sipsipsippinonlambtears]

@@porcupieiscool1703 Yeah, I found Mayday's side more harder. Oh, I think I know why! Eve was jealous of Mayday, because Zuke left Eve and would rather be in a band with Mayday, so Eve decided to give Mayday tougher obstacles.

This music just sounds so artistic. And later on in life I do want to be a game developer, so now this inspires me maybe just to make a game with music like this.

[@TheSilver13579]

The Switch version of this boss fight is weird music wise. As Zuke it’s starts as base, then partial base, then rock with base melody, no rock melody As Mayday it start with EDM, then edm + partial base, then rock with both rock/base melody.

I looked up the realm and I gotta say it’s definitely a place where Eve can express herself. She’s gotta be careful though as her techniques can get a little extreme at times
