Surprised you didn’t mention Neon J’s post battle rant about his service days and the in-game collectibles that actually add to the backstories to most of the NSR artists. I really hate to spoil but I have to mention them. SPOILERS. Subatomic Supernova has these audio recordings that show he wasn’t the most popular as a physicist(as in his lectures had audiences in the single digits) so he decided to go into music clearly just so people would listen to him more and couldn’t help but feel so small in the universe so he decided to spread his music not just through the world but through the cosmos by attaching drones to the NSR satellite that would launch from orbit and broadcast his music through the galaxy Sayu has these pieces of artwork that show she was born of a surprise collab that brought her devs together as friends. Yinu’s photos that show her father who taught her how to play but wound up in the hospital due to illness. 1010’s collectible figures that show Neon J was a toy maker before he was enlisted in the navy. Eve’s video recordings that show she actually hated herself when she was an art student and actually tried covering up her red half with makeup before meeting Zuke. They hosted a craft show together and seemed happy until Zuke was overwhelmed by her eccentric behavior and when she set his hair on fire. These end with Eve recording herself lamenting that there must be someone out there who understands her.

One detail I like about the Yinu fight is the very end. During the fall back onto the destroyed stage, Yinu's mother catches her child to protect her during the fall. However, when they land, Yinu's first and only concern is her piano. She doesn't thank her mother or show any sort of concern towards her, just towards the piano. Even during the beginning of the fight, Yinu yells at you to stay away from her piano. Their relationship has become so distant and strained that Yinu cares more about her own instrument than her mother. If fan speculation is to be believed, than the piano that ends up being destroyed used to belong to her now deceased father who got her into music in the first place.

Response to all: 7. Yeah Sayu runs away and theirs so much to avoid, but I do like how she was created from those 4 creators. 6. I do appreciate the shadow puppet as well as the rap that explains the story explained. If you look closely when the DK West explains Nadia it says E V E.....foreshadowing. 5. I find it hilarious when the fans find out the bots truly are, if you look at the haircuts of the bots it’s a different attack from Neon J. 4.Tatiana is a fantastic antagonist and the plot twist is great as well. Although the boss fight revolves time, the bugs breaks the space time. 3. The fight, music, character, aftermath, back story, just one word: Beautiful 2. Why is no one attending his class?

An additional bit of brilliance with the point you made about Yinu’s genre being pushed aside in favor of others: if classical/neoclassical music is a niche genre, why is it that a classical music artist is one of NSR’s top artists? Clearly, Tatiana has no qualms with Yinu honing her craft without any EDM involved, so it’s not that she has anything against outdated genres. It’s actually an early hint that Tatiana’s ban on rock is a lot more personal than it seems.

Yinu from what I can piece together is a fight of misunderstanding. In my theoretical opinion, I came to the conclusion that Yinu rise of fame was a misunderstanding. Yinu plays the piano to show her love for her mom, her mom on the other hand believes she is playing for fame and she schedules larger and larger performances to show her love for her daughter. Both dearly love each other but because of the larger and larger stages, it’s causing pressure on Yinu. That’s why she was lashing out to everyone in the final stage of the boss fight, the stress was to much and she snapped. This battle was both internal and external but with different opponents. We know of the external with Yinu and BBJ but the Internal was of expectations. Both sides won in the end.

I had actually made a fan version of 1010's battle, as I liked what was there, but felt that the fight revolved too much around waiting. Here is what we came up with Phase one would have all the members on floating platfotms, requiring you to parry, however, for players who don't like parrying, we also added a use for the cannons on the battleship. They would fire disposable robot bouncers, who would attack to the lower synths. These guys would drop a few notes when downed, and could be fired at the band. Phase two would keep the bouncers for added notes, but would also give the band different variations of their attacks to go with Neon J's various lines. This is also where the biggest change would be added: cars. Throughout the fight, two types of cars would follow the limo, fans, and 1010 fans. The 1010 fans would Take pictures with cameras, which would fire projectiles. Bbj fans would throw in healing items. In phase 3, the robot stays the same but with an added attack for white, shooting lasers across the battlefield, as well as adding police cars that would slide across the arena while Neon J is choosing an attack.

Me:and backstory wise! also a neat little thing about DJ Subatomic Supernova, his name is actually so uh competitive with each other that it makes me forget his name but makes it even more like he is high of himself. Subatomic can be seen as cannot comprehend, as most people cannot comprehend the idea of subatomic particles, and supernova is a stage in a star's life cycle in which it DIES(explodes in the case of a supernova) so DJ Subatomic Supernova's name can be seen as DJ you cannot comprehend death. he certainly does think highly of himself if you think about his name that way.

That one thing alone dropped her from my #2 spot Out of all the characters in this game for me to cling on to, I did not expect DJ Subatomic Supernova to be it. I initially wrote him of as being one of the low points of the cast, both musically and in character. But overtime he I noticed how much I listened to his music, or how much I would qoute his lines with him whenever that boss popped up. Something about this DJ with a passion for the stars (and an ego as big as one) just kept drawing me in, and I still haven't quite figured out what.

Yinu is probably my favorite character in No Straight Roads, but there’s more to her and her mother under the surface. (Spoilers for Yinu’s backstory) So there are three pictures that gave context into the backstory of Yina’s family. It’s revealed that she was taught to play the piano by her father, who owned the eponymous piano (the first picture). When her father was around, her and her mother was a sweet family. In the second image, She participated in her first recital that got her into NSR. Unfortunately at the same time, her father was terminally ill. And by the third image, the father is no longer there, his piano played by Yinu, watched by her mother. Her relationship with her mother, while still loving, was strained by the combination of the loss of the father, Yinu’s rising fame in NSR and how to use that fame.

Subatomic just doesn't have the same relevance or meaning the other artists have. SAYU and 1010 are statements about their genres, eve and Tatiana carry great story, and Yinu is both a statement on child prodigies, but also plants the seeds for Tatiana's logical arguments to have more meaning, while still being quite meaningful herself.

I always crack up at 1010's fight only because I had friends back in the 90s that went through so many boy bands that the stereotypes the game has just makes me chortle every time. Yinu is a fantastic fight but if I had to choose, DK West probably is my favorite in terms of character. His rap battles are SO tough but the reward both from the cutscenes and the game are worth it. My least favorite is Sayu, too, but I get a kick out of the whole thing because the game is so well written. Helps that Mayday is so over the top and Zuke is the straight man.

My own rankings: 7: 1010 because waiting was a worse slog than a chaser boss, and I expected more from the backstreet bots 6: DK West because the reverse guitar hero got to be total bs at points, especially in round three. 5: Eve, because for all the character development her fight provided, her fight was kinda unfair after mayday and zuke got split. 4: Sayu, because I have a bias for the vtuber mermaid. 3: Dj Subatomic Supernova, because for a first boss, he plays the part of an arrogant jackass well, not even caring for NSR as a whole. 2: Tatiana, because, while her past was fairly predictable, her fight was as difficult as a final boss is supposed to be. 1: Yinu, because children in the entertainment industry seem to go hand in hand with abusive parents wanting the limelight.

DK West speaks in a Semenanjung slang more precisely KL. I'm a Sarawakian. The Malay language is.... diverse so to speak, it all depends where you live in the district and/or state.

I actually just got done listening (over and over) to a vocal cover of one of the game's songs, and this video was waiting for me back at the home menu! I'll admit that the main reason I'm a huge fan of this game is the artstyle and especially the music. Honestly, I don't really have plans to play this game since I only have a Switch, and the Switch version is apparently the worst version. But despite that, I will continue to support these developers hoping they can improve their craft, and their songs will always be in my playlist. As for the video itself, it's great as always, Oscar. Keep up the great work, and I hope you have a happy New Year!

As I said during the stream of the christmas version.. Yinu is also the best example of show don't tell. The MORE you anaylze every symbolism in this fight.. the deeper it gets. The mom being a dry rooted tree. She's the roots of Yinu and what keeps her "grounded" Also if you listen closely to the mom moving.. you can hear "tree like movements" You know the cracking of the wood. Also in the phaze where it's just the moms face and the rooted cage.. every piano hammer is covered with these roots! You said it yourself.. Yinu is like a puppet.. and HERE.. you see it.. The roots of the mother moving the key hammers on the field. Forcing her to play! The other thing is in the standard mode.. the song isn't EDM at all at the start.. it gets more and more EDM the mother comes into the picture. Showing how the EDM isn't Yinu's decission.. but the MOTHER'S. And the more she shows herself.. the more the EDM takes over and the more powerfull she gets... simply put.. she makes Yinu popular with her behind the scenes stuff. As for her main story.. yea.. if you collect everything you know why it's sad. But in the fight it self.. you know how Yinu values her piano and music. Her Mom values her family's legacy and keeping the music being popular. Yes it was all about LEGACY and unable to move on. As I said.. Yinu's fight to the finish shows more and more of show don't tell and is the 1st time you feel SORRY for fighting. Shame 1010 kinda ruins the atomsphere at the end.. he tries to be tragic but it falls flat. If I could change 1 thing of this game is switching 1010 to before Yinu. Have this silly dramatic thing going on 1st. Then Yinu with real drama, questioning it.. then top it off with Eve's... 1010 is suppose to show how bad the world of music is and someone like NSR makes artists suffer too... but ugh.. still put that infront of Yinu. As Yinu also portrays this in her fight just as good if not better. Anyhow.. good video Oscar and see you later!

@UltimateSakura643 жыл бұрын
YES!!! I’m excited for this countdown! I have the same feelings about this game. I have the Switch version and I feel like it got the short end of the stick. In some boss cutscenes the bosses weren’t as animated. For instance, Neon J was freaking out about his flying factory exploding and Eve’s laugh after she accuses Zuke and May that they have a strong bond. Also some voice clips were missing like when Zuke is supposed to say that he has a master’s degree in music during the Yinu boss fight but for some reason doesn’t say it and the conversation where Zuke goes into the white void after Eve is completely absent. It’s quite a shame because those were some of my favorite parts and it it just loses some charm. I hope that the will fix these issues in a patch or the Christmas update because I want to enjoy physically playing this game more. But to me the characters, music, and dialogue just makes me not completely dislike this game. There isn’t one character I truly dislike. Besides the bugs and glitches I would hope that they tune down the difficulty on the DK West 3rd encounter because I wanted to pull my hair out. Also I feel like bosses do a lot of damage which can be annoying. But other than that I can appreciate this game for what it is. Sorry for the long comment, I just feel passionate about this game. 😂 If anyone has similar issues with the Switch version then let me know! I’d be interested to hear other people’s experience with it.

You know what I'd like? A game that was along these lines, but was also a major commentary on how _actual music_ was usurped for a while by people with synthesizers and special effects. Sayu and 1010 would still make good bosses in that direction, and Tatiana would fit in without much difficulty, while fighting Yinu would be counterproductive to the message (I don't know nearly enough about DJ'ing, rap, or...whatever the heck Eve's style is...to know where they would fall). And in a lot of ways the point wouldn't even be usurping the other artists--it's showing them that their songs would sound much better when sung with real voices and played on real instruments. Remind people what music with depth sounds like!
@petertilton70043 жыл бұрын
No Straight Roads seems like a good game... but not gonna try it. Anyway, 7. Sayu, a cutesy mermaid on par with Hatsune Miku. Phase 3 is Techno Troll and Phase 4 is Slayers fishmen. Kinda wish her creators made a robotic shell for her. Also, Sayu vs. Tsunemi from Goddess Black Heart, who would win? 6. Zuke's brother... okay no words. 5. Okay, it would've been nice if, like the battle with Madarame from Persona 5, each of those guys would have different elemental blasts. Also, rush them? More like Rush them Big Time... And no NKOTB reference? 4. A former rock star turned producer. Reminds me of Mok from Rock and Rule. who would win? 3. Ah, a gender-bent Two-Face. Very artistic. Too bad for her fight the white half doesn't shoot lasers and the red half is shooting fire. 2. Very basic, yet very interesting. 1. Now that is strong. Classical Music should make a comeback. The likes of Beethoven and Mozart should be proud. So which fighter would make it in the remake of Top Ten Musician Fighters?

@gothamstreet61153 жыл бұрын
Oh, there's actually a reason why the white side isn't as attack heavy as her pink one, it's also the same reason why the music is more aggressive on Mayday's side. Eve doesn't like May, and considers her unworthy of Zuke, so she just goes off on her when she splits them up, and Eve wants Zuke, and cares about him, so she's a lot softer on her attacks.

Personally a lot of my opinions differ from yours XP I personally think Tatiana is my favourite boss in the game. Her time control gimmick is interesting and whil her phases aren't as distinct or wildly different comapred to other bosses, she does have a strong theme of being in control and suppressing her inner self, so her otherwise more straightforward battle kinda fits. (also her boss theme is incredible). Yinu's pretty up there too. She's just a great boss and one of the two boss fights I saw that made me want this gam (the other is DJ Subatomic Supernova, as the two were shown off prior to the game's release) I really like the Sayu fight. it's a 'level as a boss' battle done right, keeping Sayu active and the focus of the fight,plus the fact her forms are brought on by the artists who make her joining the fight and showing off their skills is a great aesthetic, as is attacking her by attacking the componens that make her (the symbols you attack are actual representiations of her creators) DJ Subatomic Supernova is pretty fun, though he's more so on higher difficulities. 1010's....alright. A bit too short, unfortunately, and the first couple phases end up being a waiting game a lot of the time, but it's a fun gimmick : 3 Eve...has some very cool moments like the running down the split hallway at the same time and the fina; phase being a HEALING session because Zuke wants to help her grow, BUT the fight itself is a bit of a clsuterfuck to me, too many random thing sbeing thrown at you, and its overall a it too difficult for me. DK West is a fun concept, but the rematches are way too difficult and honestly the first fight has the best music, the other fights not so much.
