It's great, there's a challenge with the chords, and you say to yourself: who cares, we're going to make some kick-ass music!

You see an image of a ruined temple with vegetation: you said to yourself: who cares, we're going to do the theme of a 195lbs fighter!

That's the spirit of the jam: we participate to have fun and surprise ourselves!

(I enjoyed it by the way).

I am glad you enjoyed it, thank you! I would like to clarify that I did try to complete the challenge but along the way I had inspiration and couldn't let it slide. It was a surprise to me too that I made a theme for a Roblox character :D

The buildup. The suspense. The fight. That was very nicely done!

Thank you, I think so too, the buildup is pretty good.

This is giving the vibes that Baller was part of a 2000's dodgeball flash game. Good stuff

That totally sounds like BALLER intro. Almost like a boxer/wrestler entering the ring with their theme music. I really felt the tension building up and exploding. It's a good concept, well done. One thing I noticed is that the guitar sounds a bit dry, could be processed to sound more real (if you were aiming for a realistic sound. If not, never mind :D)

Nono, you are right, the guitar does sound like farts :| ! It's not pleasing... but it's kinda funny :D

gulloSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

Haha I didn't mean it that bad. I think it's very hard to make a sampled guitar sound good. I don't even try anymore :')

Love the creativity in the description! I can totally see a flash style video with this - honing in on the targets, then a flurry of dodgeballs coming from every direction until there's a cool "walking away" shot with just the broken and bruised enemies behind him. lol

What a ride - great track!

Thanks man! I think it sounds pretty alright, only exception being the farting noises that resemble a guitar lol
