Question for FNF fans: Do you like a 1 song deeper music dive video OR this multi song more of a reaction and less music analysis?
Multi song
The latter
Personally I think there is some overlap, but mostly people seem to enjoy this sort of thing for the reactions to how utterly wild and creative the songs can be. Either way I and many others are more than happy to see you enjoy this new content! Thanks for the video as always king ❤
a bit of both is nice !
I feel like the first idea would be better for longer songs (like Silly Billy) and the second idea for shorter songs (like the ones in this video)
anything that says "fnf" and "mod" in the same sentence is community made with no input from the original devs
Thx for info

Fun Fact: Impostor V4’s developers were actually partnered with Intersloth, the creators of among us
And the creator of undertale for one song
@@sknlord7682wait what song?
@@GamrGuyReal sussus nuzzus
@@sknlord7682actually, that a common misconception, as Toby Fox did not partner with them, however, the creator of the original song did. Most people think Toby made no more nuzzles, but it was originally a fan creation.
And lil nas x for one song 🤑🤑
The reason that last song, defeat, had so many notes going by is that it's supposed to be an extra bonus song meant to challenge the player
YOU ALSO NEED TO HIT EVERY NOTE OR ELSE YOU WILL DIE
@@DANNY1TDM you can only miss 5 times only, or no miss
Well not at all, since it's now necessary to complete, to go on with the mod itself.
@@DelTaTensiveYou can change the combo breaks from 1-5
@@HIM1242 technically my comment is not wrong so
FnF is wild, you did good picking out a couple good songs from the modding community, a lot of it does deal with nieche creative expression though. One thing I find impressive about these mods are that a couple of people just come together and make their own take on FnF, make their own song and story then send it out for everyone to play.
Your first exposure was with one of the best the community has to offer to be honest. Silly Billy still sticks out as an extremely good mod so it would be a bit hard to top that one in terms of music and quality 😅
There's a lot of quality out there in the fnf community ngl. Silly Billy is definitely peak but I could name plenty of other songs just as great if not better. Like the whole hotline 024 mod is amazing, ourple guy v3 has bangers, I could give more examples but I'm not trying to go that deep lol. Just wanted to say there's a lot of good stuff out there, you just gotta find it
@@freshjoonyuh I agree with this guy, I know silly billy is peak, but there are a lot more songs that are at the same quality or even better than silly billy itself, lyrics aren't something new, the base game already have them lmao
@@freshjoonyuh Yep there is quality no doubt, Saruky's work with Hotline 024 has been the only mod I've been anticipating for a long time now, cant wait for the next update drop tbh 😭
Nah,Overdue is shit af
@@softblended4854 ong man I've been so hyped for an update on that mod lol. Another mod that I've been waiting for an update on is indie cross, can't wait for that shit either. 👌
as someone whos been a fnf fan since early 2021, its cool seeing folk like you have an appreciation for the community!
to answer a few of your questions:
1. these songs are all computer vs player. the opponents notes, visually, were distracting at first, but the more you play the more you learn to tune them out.
2. the vibrato on the notes arent controlled by the game engine or the player actually, the vibrato is just part of the vocal sound file itself. every single song is split up into two parts, the vocals, and the instrumental. the game plays both sound files at the same time, and whatever the composer does is how it sounds. There are some instances, like overdue, wherein more sounds are added ingame, but it hardly ever happens.
3. the note colors, at least to my knowledge, arent indicative of anything. the colors are a reference to the colors on a ps1 controller more than anything. i can def see how folk think each color means something though.
for some song recommendations:
Marios madness V2 - All stars
Marios madness V2 - Paranoia
Sonic.exe Rerun - Toploader
Vs Sonic.exe - Triple trouble
Vs sonic.exe - manual blast
Vs sonic.exe - perdition
Dave and bambi 3.0 - Blocked 3.0
Dave and bambi 3.0 - Exploitation
Hotline 024 - Expurgated or any song, they're all good
Seeks cool deltarune mod - any song
Hit single real - Trichael (this is the same mod Silly Billy is from, fun fact!)
Vs Tricky - any song
Dave and bambi golden apple edition - Ferocious
Hypno V2 - Death Toll
Oh so that comment was not correct about the color rhythms. Thx for info!
@DrumRollTonyReacts it was correct, but only for that specific mod (Hit Single/Silly Billy)
agree with everything except for dave and bambi songs bro, you'll put a curse on him just by listening to one of those songs ☠
@@PeppinoPSpaghetti was gonna say that lmao
Add game over by saster and kiwi to this list fr
I'm confident you would enjoy these songs:
1. Top Loader
2. Faker & Black Sun by Awe
3. Blue Pokemon Encore
These songs have a lot of variety and are well composed
I'm seeing a pattern here (all sonic themed mods)
Here's a fun fact about the mods! If it was made to be a joke mod (basically a mod made for purely comedic relief), there's a 90% chance the music would actually sound good. Like the Ourple Guy mod for example
YESSSSS Ourple Guy is one of the best mods ever
i mean Followed its actually SO FUCKING GOOD
i recommend coming back to the mario madness soundtrack because there's a plethora of different songs that are different from each other (such as last course, powerdown, or starman slaughter)
Agree, I NEED him to check unbeatable out
Or paranoia
Starman slaughter seems right up his alley tbh
He needs to see the lyrics from All Stars
I did not expect you to look at more songs from FNF! There's a lot of modded song recommendations in this comment section, so instead I shall toss two suggestions from the base game:
Guns - Kawai Sprite
Thorns (Erect Mix) - Kawai Sprite & Saster
And personally, I enjoy the musical analysis side your videos and if you decide to look at more songs I would enjoy if you talked more about that, because the composition and music of FNF songs in both base games and mods tends to go undervalued by the "mainstream." Plus, I enjoy your discussion about those things. But if you decide to hold back on that in the future that's fine too, I don't mind just watching someone enjoy FNF music!
Have you seen the Drop and Roll animation? I feel like that would be a cool one for him to react to
agree
Nah if we're going erect remixes then I'd say Dadbattle erect and Roses erect.
The guy with the uzi is Pico from the website called Newgrounds. You can play FNF there.
Here’s a few other songs/mods you should check out!
- Broadcasting from Hotline024 (or any of the mod’s songs, they’re all amazing)
- Paranoia from Mario’s Madness
- Incident from the Trollge Files (the updated one)
- Singularity from Vs Void
- Any song from Vs Garcello
HUGE VOUCH FOR HOTLINE 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I'd personally recommend Astral Projection from it too, it's so good
It always hurts to see these channels cover sarukys oldest work and never the absolute GOLD MINE that is Hotline
I still appreciate them taking the time to listen to any of em though
there is so much mario madness song v2 he should check
Heck yeah paranoia. And the other mm songs
There’s a lot to say about rhythm gaming, but to explain some things:
- The other side is something you don’t really need, it exists because that is the general style of FNF from the base game, a call and response. You don’t actually look at that at all when you play.
- I see you are quite confounded on how people actually manage to play these games, and the most specific answer i THINK you might be able to understand is that when you play a rhythm game you can only rely on the music, practice, and your sight-reading ability. The details behind it is kinda complicated, but basically when you play you are in “the zone” like when you’re at the perfect level of concentration, and this makes sight-reading much easier. When you practice you are actually improving your ability to get into “the zone”
Hello, I'm an FNF artist and kinda musician. As someone who's been a part of this community for years, it's so cool to see famous reaction channels seeing this game, despite how "cringe" people think it is. Coming in to answer questions you asked and provide examples of what I believe are very good songs to listen to.
First of all, not all FNF enthusiasts/modders are musicians. I'm interested in music a bit, but I'm more on the art and animation side of things. There's actually quite a LOT of different pieces of things that go into an FNF mod, from writing to art to music to coding, there's a LOT of people who work on this.
Secondly, for me, it's been several years of listening to and playing this game nearly every day. This game, funnily enough, actually made my art so much better.
All mods are community created, yes.
And the note colors vary depending on the mod, Silly Billy has a note based color for fourth, eighth, sixteenth notes, etc, but the basic notes are colored for left as purple, down as blue, up as green, and red as right.
Top five FNF songs isn't possible to say because of the amount of variation in opinion and just... there's too many. In my opinion these are songs you should check out:
- Last Chance from VS Tabi (a classic)
- Powerdown V2 from Mario's Madness V2 (one of my personal favorites, however gore trigger warning.)
- Our Harmony from Doki Doki Takeover (I think that'd be something a music channel would enjoy picking apart)
- Markov from Doki Doki Takeover Bad Ending (Another personal favorite, sh tw)
- Perseverance from Friday Night Dustin'. (Another personal fav)
Thank you for these reactions!
Oh boy, I can literally spend HOURS recommending songs from FNF. Here are some of my faves:
Discharge - Corruption mod
Means of Destruction - Longestsoloever mod
DAW Wars - Longestsoloever mod
Doomsday - Mistful Crimson Morning mod
Paralysis - Tails Gets Trolled mod
Scars and Stars - Tails Gets Trolled mod
No heroes DX - Tails Gets Trolled mod
Final Escape - Sonic.exe mod
Manual Blast - Sonic.exe mod
And these are just the ones I have at the top of my mind.
Doomsday V1 right? Cause the shotgun spam in V2 makes that song a hard listen.
@@MasterofInterspace To be fair, I just listen to the song itself without the sound effects(I.E, the shotguns). Or to be more accurate, just the instrumentals.
What about die batsards?
to explain more about how the game works since you had some questions:
1. You only play the arrows on the right side (tho some mods have you play left instead but those are pretty rare and usually give you a heads up)
2. The other side is not ai, at least not in the normal sense. Rather, the other side ALWAYS plays their notes perfectly. Instead it's basically survival. each note restores health/moves your icon farther to the left as you can see on the bottom of the screen. How well you time the notes dictates how much health you get back (either that or it's just a score thing i forget, either way the gameplay's the same). Missing notes makes you lose health. In addition, some mods have HP Drain effects where whenever the opponent hits a note you will lose hp, mirroring how you gain hp when you hit notes. The intensity of this health drain can vary between mods, but are usually less than the amount of hp you gain with your notes
3. As someone else in the comments mentioned, the game shows the opponent's side because you are often supposed to repeat part or all of what they do, so their side acts as a sneak peak. Of course there are times when your side is completely original to your opponents where the other side is more of a distraction. Some mods get rid of this mechanic to either make it harder on the player by getting rid of their heads up, or to eliminate the distraction, depending on the scenario
Damn was not expecting more fnf song reactions! I think multi song vids like this works better personally, especially since you are gonna get hundreds of recommendations now that you've opened the flood gates lol. But you're definitely not gonna be disappointed.
As for recommendations:
Gamma - V.S. Hood: Roundtable
Death Toll - FNF VS Hypno's Lullaby V2
Alert - Friday Night Crunchin'
Followed - FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN: VS OURPLE GUY V3
Say My Name - FNF World: A FNaF World FNF Mod!
Nah Legacy is leagues better than Alert
@@MobianBF It's just a difference in opinions, both are great but I personally think alert is better
@@DisagaFOLLOWED FROM OURPLE GUY I LOVE THAT ONE
So, it might be helpful for someone to break down a few things about FNF music as a whole, and more specifically the songs you showed here.
So, generally, Friday Night Funkin music works on mostly call-and-response melodies, with harmonies and duets sprinkled in, as you mentioned. When it comes to the base game's songs, they're supposed to have a sense of progression (Week 1s songs are easy-ish, Week 2s are harder etc.)
The player's side of the screen is _generally_ the right side (I say generally as some songs, mainly modded, will change this, either temporarily or for the entire song); you can always tell this when watching, by what side's notes light up when hit. A lot of mods nowadays will tend to have visual distractions, which try to make the game harder (stuff like the bendy cutouts in the Bendy songs from Indie Cross, or the Sunky jpegs in the song Milk, from Vs. Sonic.EXE V3.0.
You mentioned about the timings for when the notes rise up, that they weren't on the strong beats. The notes will often be hit on strong beats (when they overlap with the arrows on the top is when you hit the corresponding key;) them coming on-screen like they do is just to give the player time to react.
In Overdue, rather than playing as The Boyfriend (the normal protagonist,) you play as Pico (the Uzi kid.)
For the corruption mod song, you play as a corrupted version of The Boyfriend, against who would be considered one of the main antagonists of the main game; Daddy Dearest. The song itself has lots of references to the main game's songs, as well as Corrupted Boyfriend shapeshifting into different characters from the main game too.
Defeat is intended as a bonus song after completing the main story songs in the Vs Imposter mod, which is why it seems to be basically just note spam.
All of the songs you showed are from community made mods, some examples of songs from the original FNF include Bopeebo, Spookeez, MILF (yes, that's the actual name), and Guns. I would highly recommend going through some of the base game songs, they are really good songs.
In terms of modded song recommendations, i would definitely recommend Triple Trouble (be warned, it's an 8+ minute song; might warrant a video on and of itself,) Fight or Flight, Faker/Black Sun or Burning (from Sonic.EXE V3.0,) Doomsday, Dead Hope or Served (from Mistful Crimson Morning,) and most any song from the Indie Cross OST, but definitely Snake Eyes, Knockout, Whoopee, Burning In Hell, Terrible Sin and Last Reel.
Each of those are certified bangers and well worth a listen, even if not to analyse them.
Hope this sorta helps somewhat, feel free to ask if you need other things clarifying about the game, I'm sure we'd all love to fill you in. Love your content dude, keep doing what you're doing ❤.
Also, if you wanna see a song that is literally just notespam incarnate, then go for "The Saness", also from Indie Cross. It's a meme song that is intended to be incredibly difficult. Thank me later 😁
I personally think where FNF shines the brightest is in "final boss-esque" themes where the song can go for 6+ minutes without feeling boring. Like a mini-symphony. Notable examples include:
- Final Escape by Saster
- All Stars from Mario's Madness V2
- Unbeatable from Mario's Madness V2
- Triple Trouble from Sonic.EXE V2
- Cataclysm from VS Gorefield V2
I'm sure there are plenty more that more die-hard fans can recommend, but these are what I can recall from the top of my head
I would 100% recommend reacting to more Corruption songs in the future. More specifically Discharge, which to this day is one of the better fnf songs
Yeah also the one the newest songs would be interesting too
Blood moon is a banger
Bro the guitar still hits hard
corruption mod was cool, but my fav will always be mid fight masses!!
I agree. Discharge still remains one of the best fnf mods songs.
When it comes to FNF, the reason why they often share the other sides notes is cause it basically will often act as a sneak peak for what your future notes will be - as you saw in the first two songs, there were often parts where you the player would Echo the other side so when things are more chill and you see your opponent suddenly throw a good amount of notes at you you have a heads up.
Its also why some songs remove that feature, both to make it harder, and - as you brought up - to make it easier to focus on your own notes. It really helps when some songs will throw damage/instakill notes at you or notes you have to hit to not die or other gimmicks.
Defeat, the last song, for e ample, is basically meant to be a early game Final Boss/Test of Skill in its mod, so you cant see Black Imposters notes, the music runs really fast, and iirc its running on a Three Strikes and Your Out Policy (If you miss a certain amount of times you die), so the focus is nice
You definitely need to check out Saruky’s music. He is a popular composer inside the community. My favorites are: Sugarcrush, thunderstorm, Philly nice (erect remix), killer Queen, hyperfunk and Uncanny Valley v2.
Him and Saster
songs like silly billy deserve their own videos because they're longer and have had bigger impacts. here's my own recommendations:
mario's madness: "all-stars" (nearly 9 minutes long, took 6 composers over a year to make)
hit single real: "fakebaby" (by the creator of silly billy)
friday night dustin: "perseverance"
the fact that he chose randomly and chose deathmach out of all of those options is such a nice coincidence, its one of the best songs, i remember being on the premiere, it was so hype
so happy to see more corruption representation XD
not that the other 2 songs werent good too, really nice selection we got here
Bro i love seeing more people react to fnf, theres so many good songs to listen to. Btw, to answer your question, every song you've listened to so far are from mods made by the community. If you want any more recommendations for mods or songs to react to i got you
Cool to see you diving a bit deeper into this wild fandom! There are years upon years worth of songs and creations that you could listen to from this community, but if I were to recommend just one, I say give the song “Comatose” from the Dead Air mod a listen. It’s easily one of the most unique and experimental songs I’ve heard come from the FNF community and I would love to hear your thoughts on it!
Cheers, keep up the great content!
I know this song won’t get in the video but the same composer that did Silly Billy, Made a interesting song called “Alert” from fnf Crunchin v3 mod (Very emotional and Multi section song that needs to be Analyzed!!! ❤)
It's great to know you listened to and analyzed more FNF songs! There are so many great songs, and I hope you don't mind if I suggest some since I'm kind of a big fan! (If you have any interest, of course.) My personal choices are:
Dismantle, Trapped V2, Followed V2 (Vs Ourple Guy V3)
Starman Slaughter, All Stars, Unbeatable (Mario's Madness V2)
Terror In The Heights, Ultrafield, Cataclysm (Vs Gorefield V2)
Free 4 Me/Obituary (RodentRap/Sonic Legacy)
Your Copy (FNF: Classified)
Technicolor Tussle, Final Stretch, Last Reel (Indie Cross)
Looking forward to your next reaction! Hope you have a good one! (Also I know they might have been quite a few, but I can assure you they are great, and worth your time.)
You forgot to say Quartz and Roses from gorefield v2
Aww and if you'd say an indie cross sans song then why say final stretch instead of burning in hell breh
The official corruption songs (there are allot of "spinoffs" out there) are most definitely my favourite. I'd recomend checking out discharge or neuroses, They are really cool.
FNF mods has some good music even though the hate might come around, but to be quite honest, I have 2 mods that I personally enjoy the music and it's from Indie Cross which is like a combination of Indie games thrown into FNF with some mechancis that make the game harder and also Hotline 024 there are a couple joke songs but this mod was composed by mostly 1 person who even helped into making some music recently for FNF itself which is Saruky (they make such good music) and also this mod features like around an hour of songs which is insane to think for a FNF mod that is not complete, it has a lot of video game references or memes in it (memes are more likely into joke songs).
But yeah, I highly recommend those 2 mods, Indie Cross and Hotline 024, love the video analysis, keep it up man!
Recommendations:unbeatable:Too slow:hell hole: and last course/you can pick which ever you want if you read this,thank you and have a nice day
When it comes to reading notes and timing your inputs, it's a lot like reading sheet music in the sense of reading ahead and quickly preparing for when you need to play each note. There's definitely a learning curve cause what you can read vs how well you can play your inputs can cross wires sometimes, but it becomes a lot more natural with time and practice.
And the further along that you play rhythm games, you start to pick up how notes are placed along the track as it comes towards the zone you press inputs. You learn note patterns, the timing between when notes are played: Are they on beat, off beat, placed in off timing all together? Stuff like that. You start building a sense of rhythm and sight reading like that as well.
0:15 I cant speak for others, but i mean, i liked hearing your input on the song. I always like learning new things and the way you broke it down was simple enough for even someone like me who has no musical playing knowledge to understand it.
Hi, I really like the video ! If you want to see more song I recommend Unbeatable from Mario Madness v2. It's a really long one at around 10 minutes but there multiple fnf song that are 10 minutes or over. It is the best example of how such a song tries to stay varied so it does not get stalled to play in my opinion.
Tony: *watches a really emotional battle of the last challenger standing against the corruption*
Also Tony: *Dr. Livesey laugh compilation*
I would recommend checking out the songs "All-Stars" and "Unbeatable" from the "Mario's Madness" mod! They're quite long compared to the ones you reacted to, but I believe their length is justified!
This is amazing! I'm glad you're getting some FNF content now! You should listen to Blam from the Arrow Funk mod, or if you want something really amazing to analyze, try out any of the songs from the Hotline 024 mod!
FACTS BLAM AND HOTLINE 024 >>>>>>>>>>
Happy seeing more FNF reactions. So good and so interesting to hear others talk about it. Would be cool to see you react to the song "Team Funked" from the mod 'Vs Scott the Woz', "Reinforcements" from 'Vs Imposter v3' or the entirety of the 'Hazy River' mod is really good. Silly Billy was definitely a peak that will be difficult to match though but I hope you enjoy what you listen to regardless
here's some recommendations for a potential future video:
- Abduction (Funkscop)
- Hatena (YTP Invasion)
- All-Stars (Mario's Madness)
- Dismantle (VS. Ourple Guy)
- Obituary (Sonic Legacy)
- HOME (Doki Doki Takeover: Bad Ending)
i love these kinds of videos where musicans or just people that dont really know anything about fnf watch and listen to songs from it and enjoy it
i love your takes on these songs, the base game of FNF has some good songs that are less intense but still really good
I think the reason you see the other side's inputs are because in the vanilla game it's mostly call and response. You respond with usually only a little variation on what their call was.
I honestly like the deep dives tbh they’re really insightful and interesting
Hey Tony!
New fan, only recently subscribed, love the content!
I see there's been some discussion on how you should go about formatting the FnF stuff, so I wanted to give my 2 cents on the topic
As someone who's been writing, composing, arranging and producing music for a couple years now, I really enjoy the content you put out analysing the ins and outs of songs.
Seeing you find the FnF community was also really exciting for me, as FnF is a large part of my journey, and I have much to thank it for.
FnF has built a community of creators, and birthed loads of music producers like myself who are all starting out raw, yearning to be polished.
More content that goes deeper into how and why a song is the way it is would be exactly what this community needs more of, in my opinion.
I would much prefer if you did deeper dives into each song, rather than simply reacting to them, as I feel it is much more meaningful.
there's so many good fnf songs out there, Mario's madness has lots of good ones, "Alone" is a slightly more mellow song from that mod, on the opposite end of the spectrum from that mod there's songs like "Unbeatable" and "All-Stars"which are both up there as some of the most high quality fnf songs but also some of the longest at 8+ min, if you want something a little less grandiose but still great "Miller" from the ourple guy mod is a fantastic song with 6 different characters, my personal favorite is "Shitno" from Hypno's lullaby.
For why we see the NPC's side: In the base game, the songs were characterized as 'rap battles'; this meant most of the songs, especially the earlier ones, were a lot of back and forth exchanges where the opponent played a rhythm and the player responded to it. By showing the player the opposition's notes, it allows the player to have an idea of what to expect coming up once it's their turn in terms of rhythm and difficulty... there's also a bit of a distraction element where the song might throw a curveball by adding in notes while the opponent is still going, or in the case of some songs, switching the player's arrows onto the opponent's side of the screen.
I'd love to see more of you reacting to fnf songs, i think you'd really enjoy them and get to hear how different mods have their own creativity in rhythms. I recommend listening to Nightmare Run from the Indie Cross mod, I really enjoyed playing that one.
I love how you are reacting to FNF music as well as all the musical insight you bring to the table and so, as a veteran of FNF, I want to give you 10 recommendations of my own:
Madness FNF 2 - 1CoreKiller (2m 45s)
Imposter V4 - Identity Crisis (5m 39s)
Friday Night Crunchin' - Legacy v2 (5m 15s)
SMB. Funk Mix: Game Over (3m 18s)
Static Nightmare - Face Off (3m 10s)
FNF Funk Mix - Bullet Time (2m 16s)
Doki Doki Takeover: Bad Ending - Home (3m 59s)
Livid Lycanthrope - Lycanthrope (2m 42s)
Mid Night Suffering - Curtain Call (3m 47s)
Rayna V2 - Vessel (2m 55s)
Pick and choose what you want ^-^
Edit: Though I am interested in music and would love to bring my own music to life, I do not have the time to do it and thereby it might need to be put on hold for a few years.
Some inside info from a long time fnf fan.
1. The first song is mr.l vs pico, mr.l (aka TOO LATE) is an old creepypasta/fangame about the malevolent spirit of luigi, who died in an accident during an adventure, and blames mario for it, and then his soul tortures and plays with mario, before killing him and turning him into "the forgiven" (the mario ghost that appeared before the chase section)
2. Defeat is the second-to-last song in "vs imposter", with the v4 version being codeveloped by innersloth, the devs who made among us in the first place.
3. The blue haired kid in defeat and final battle is called "boy friend", a 19 year old who LOVES rap battles.
4. In the files, the instrumental track and the vocal track for songs are actually 2 separate audio files, so when you miss, the vocal stops but the instrumental stays on.
5. Keeping track of the beat is actually useful in-game, as it allows you to predict when your turn comes up
Oh man you should definitely react to any of the voiid chronicles songs theyre all fire, my personal favorite is blastout but all of them are worth to take a listen to. (I forgot to mention they're pretty hard so there you got your rythm game skill showdown)
Song "Sink" is a classic. Still rings in my head from time to time.
hihi im like a REALLY big fnf fan so here's some fun facts!!
general stuff:
the player is! *usually* on the right and is usually the orange hair kid or the blue hair kid.
blue hair guy (boyfriend (yes that's his actual name)) and orange hair guy (pico) both dated before. this is not relevant but it's very cool
mods for fnf are not made by the original devs of fnf
the arrow colors are usually to indicate what input or just cause it looks cool.
you play against an ai, and the ai's arrows are there to make it seem like an even sided rap battle (or something?)
overdue / mario's madness v2:
this song is from a mod in which boyfriend and pico both sing against mario creepypastas. it's unironically one of the best mods out there. the bullet magazine mechanic makes you die if you miss 3 bullets. also i will be killed if i don't mention YO SOY LUIGI
corruption / deathmatch:
this used to be a simple reskin mod that had one of the first custom modded songs! eventually it turned into its own series! it's one of my favoritez :D
defeat / impostor v4:
this mod was actually given the greenlight by innersloth, the creators of among us! this mod has around 3 hours worth of songs and loads of custom art! also, for this song, if you miss 5 (or less times, depending on what the player selected) times you instantly die.
extra songz you should check out btw!!:

To answer your question during the first song analysis, I am a musician. I play the trombone in the Menard Highschool band and we actually just got state champion in Texas this year! But from my perspective, I think putting time into this game is worth it if you're as interested in music as myself. Now playing this isnt the best use of my time, but I do enjoy myself while playing. To others I think theyd say that alot of this is easy, but i find it to be quite challenging. Though i would have to say playing trombone or any other musical instrument is more worthwhile than playing a silly little rhythm game. But i enjoy doing both so i cant complain. But apart from all that, i think these analysis videos are very enjoyable and bring both my love for music and games together! So thank you for creating something so enjoyable. Definitely going to sub for any future content!
every mod dev as something to focus not just making music
so for an example there are 4 mod devs for one mod
one focuses on making the song, another on drawing and animating, a charter that makes a chart for the song and finally a coder that codes everything together
as an early fnf fan from 2021 it had an influence on me and actually inspired me to become a modder myself
Im a coder and it's always fun to put everything together and make everything playable
also speaking of which side the player should be in, it's the right side most of the time, but sometimes the player is on the left side (that's rare though so it depends if it's needed)
for the music as one comment said, the composer is the one that controls everything about the voices and instrumental
also i recommend watching the newest episode from phantom fear (the corruption mod creator)
It's really peak
14:00 Fnf is its own game, but modding it became very popular, and the mods got a lot of attention especially thanks to the good 3 year period with no updates while they sorted a bunch of things out that slowed development of new content. The base game is pretty good, it's a free download if you want to try it! It's currently sitting at 26 songs with more difficult remixes for most of them, and a whole lot more on the way since the game isn't finished yet
I am a musician within the community and I play piano and drums! I also can sing but I’m not the best at that, and I’m hoping to learn guitar as well!
A couple of other good songs:
Sacrifice - One Shot Mania
Insomniac/Sour Nightmares/Control - Catnap
Combustion - Furnace Whitty Remade
Unknown Suffering/Untold Loneliness/Vesania/Hellhole - Wednesday Infidelity
Those are just a couple, as there are hundreds of great mods out there!
A reason for why you get to see the opponent notes (left side) and not just the player notes (right side) is one, that you can mostly copy them, or at least get to see their rhythm (call and response) and there also are plans for a 2 player mode in the full game)
I am a bit late but I do like when you do the analytical deep dives, but I also love your first time reactions. I also appreciate that when you usually pause a song you go back a few seconds to ensure you aren't missing the whole track.
If I may suggest, if you plan on doing more of these FNF clusters, maybe do a first pass of the songs for the first time reactions, then go back and deep dive into what parts hooked you in the songs. (maybe as a second video, I dunno)
I will add that everything on here is a first time reaction. Both deep dives and quick ones
I started playing the drums around 6 years ago. When the pandemic started, I had a lot of time to focus on improving my ability to play and around that time is also when FNF became popular. The average day for me was basically playing the drums and FNF. Funnily enough, this game helped me a lot with control of my individual fingers.
I dabble in composition actually!
Also amazing song list you chose.
Also interesting..
People really did not like overdue when it released for some reason. I think its a amazing horror song!
as someone who's been into the game since kickstarter release, there are many things to cover though please go at whatever pace you feel is best for yourself as FNF can be overwhelming with its insane amount of projects. I'll adress a few things that you may have wondered about:
(official Vs. mods !)
there is a difference between dev work and mod work, everything you have seen so far is made by people of the community expressing their creativity and love for the characters they bring into song and art, and game itself. nothing here is official ^^ i myself would recommend checking the entire official base game of FNF before continuing with mods, mostly so you can have a better click on who is who as characters from main game can appear in mods youll see in the future ! official FNF in itself does have really good music and has had few updates drop ever since the release of Silly Billy, though the songs come served in "weeks". three songs per character is made up in said weeks. id recommend doing a week per video or listening to everything the full game has in one entire video !
(character explanation !)
the ginger with the uzi is Pico, he originates from newgrounds as a huge mascot for the platform itself along with many others. Pico does have an official week in the official game, as FNF is a newgrounds game and will tend to include other newgrounds favorites like Pico. Pico's a fan favorite too for his difference in "chromatic" (his voice) and his songs within main game,, that alone is why youll see him appear in many many mods.
(pinned comment question !)
to anwser the pinned comment, I do think if you have shorter tracks lined up a video like this is reaallyy good ! for longer songs that reach high in time (some songs can be seven minutes, ten minutes, etc.) and genuinely interest you I feel should have more deep analysis ! i also think, and it can depend, that if theres a series of some kind people really want you to get on, you can make a special lengthy video on said series ? I already know people will want your take on more of Marios Madness v2 (the song Overdue came from) and Corruption (the song Deathmatch came from), which both arent short mods by any means, so it may be good to tackle lots of the same mod into a video.
(final thoughts !)
you have started your expereince of FNF with four big fan favorites within the community, and its wonderful seeing your reaction to what people like me love, and I can only hope you continue with the game ! I'll give you two mod recommendations of my own, not just songs because both have more than one amazing song, and the two really built FNF from the ground: Vs. Whitty and Vs. Sonic.EXE v2 (along with Final Escape made by Saster). these two will get suggested lots anyway but I figured I'd throw them out there as well, both blew up in FNF back when it was a smaller game though to this day I still love them !
I’m happy so see you reacting to the fnf stuff again, there are plenty of good recommendations in the comments. To answer you question, yes, I like to play this game and I am a musician, I play the saxophone.
these are some great picks from the community! although it is pretty sad that you haven't yet reacted to Paranoia or the Indie Cross OST, can't wait to see you react to these !
Release from VS Garcello (the gameplay video say "hazy river" in the title if i remember correctly)
The reason why there's arrows notes on each side this was designed as a call and response rhythm game. The left side (opponent side) would usually play first, followed by the right side (the player side) following that same melody.
Now that FNF Modding has changed A LOT, it generally has more variety to the notes than just copying from the opponent themselves!
And yea the left is controlled by an AI following the note pattern it's set to played while the right is usually the player side
Oh and I recommend you to listen to the base game songs (cough cough Fresh ERECT remix)
and for the modding side I'd recommend "Broadcasting" by Saruky. And funny thing, Saruky now works both in the Modding stuff AND the base game which is awesome :D
Lots has been said in the comments already so I'll try to keep my comment brief.
Think of the game as an overlay over the music. You'll play along to the "voices", and it'll even mute them if you start missing, but it's not really doing much more than that to the audio.
As someone who's been into VGM for a while, and as someone who took my first step into composing because of this game, I just find the pipeline here facinating. You'll have people come in with the most basic doodles, or the simplest beats, and then come out 1-2 years later (sometimes just months) with competent to outstanding works, and it is just mental to me how that works out. Not to mention the sheer variety of content on display (as in, if you can think it, there's probably a MODification out there for it). All in all, you have just scratched the surface with these, and if you keep diggin, you'll be sure to find even more gold soon!
(I guess in terms of recommendations, picking a couple songs from the base game couldn't hurt. Usually published under Funkin' Sound Team. The mod that Silly Billy is from, Hit Single also has way more tracks then just Silly Billy, if that piques your interest. For an out there pick no one'll recommend (probably) (due to visibility I would surmise) Red Station by RedTV53 is a good track. That'll be all from me. Thanks again for deciding to look into this game, your insight is invaluable!)
Theres so much to say and like there are so many awsome songs from mods and stuff so heres three that i think its pretty cool.

If you’re gonna check out more fnf stuff, DDTO+’s “Our Harmony” or “Takeover Medley” are a MUST!
hi! i love your videos a lot and it's cool to see fnf stuff, although i was more into it a few years ago and am much less familiar with some of these newer mods. to answer your questions about musicians who play rhythm games, i'll try to briefly talk about my background in both.
i have been a singer for many many years and i also am mostly self taught piano, although not very spectacular- i just like to learn and play short bits of songs i enjoy. i also played trombone for a couple years in middle school, and recently i have been trying to write some music. as for rhythm games, i grew up playing a lot of guitar hero and rock band, but in my high school years i played a couple rhythm games on my phone and ipad, namely love live school idol festival and bang dream. now, i mainly play rhythm games at arcades, as i find it way more enjoyable to play a rhythm game on a cabinet that is designed specifically for its game. my current favorites are maimai and music diver, and music diver is really cool as you play using drumsticks, which brings a very cool feeling to the experience.
with all that said, i do think i personally enjoy the feeling of improvement in rhythm gaming over an instrument. i did go to university for a couple semesters to major in choral music education, but it was very stressful and i struggled a lot. practice wasn't enjoyable or rewarding, and when covid hit during my second semester, classes going online didn't help my already troubling procrastination issues. with rhythm games, the way the gaming experience is packaged with musical elements, i get to have fun with all parts of it. seeing improvement in the form of new high scores is gratifying, and it's a way to experience all sorts of new music.
lastly, since i didn't know where to put this in, to answer the question about how long it takes to get to a certain skill level: while people learn at different paces, and also factoring in the variety of techniques and charting patterns, it doesn't take super long normally to get a pretty good grip on most of the songs in friday night funkin (at least, in my experience). the ceiling can go quite high though, there's some really crazy stuff out there that really require a great deal of time and dedication.
this ended up being not very brief at all, but i enjoyed writing it. the world of rhythm games is a vast one, and i continue to find great works of art that really scratch a good musical itch in my brain. there are some that would definitely deserve a good deep look into what's musically going on, hopefully we could see that someday! i think some good recommendations would be FREEDOM DiVE, B.B.K.K.B.K.K., and Aleph-0.
I cannot recommend you this one enough, Starman slaughter, personal favorite from the Mario mod
You gotta see the rest of the corruption series, its so good
I recommend music from the hotline 024 mod, especially the song "broadcasting"
uP
As a musician myself, that plays drums, orchestral percussion and piano, i like fnf cause is fascinating for me to see this kind of music, so outside of what we know as a "musical piece" like, how the vocals, atonals and all can all sound so good, rythmical, so melodic or intense, and i am a player, and charter (the one that makes the gameplay in the songs,) Now. The equivalent to measures in fnf are the secctions, each sections has it's own special place when all the notes are being put together, and you just play as the main player, not both, yet, there are some mods that make you play 10th notes, like, yeah, crazy. And musically, is wonderful to me how the 8th, 16th and 32 notes can be put in a chart and how it all can be playable and have sense as a, idk, a trumpet or string playing this melodies and writing them on a actually music sheet, and as a player, is all about knowing your keys and have the coordinations, concentration and know what pattern you are playing, atleast for me i play with patterns like, i learn how to play double notes, hold notes, triple notes, quadruple notes, a stair case (which are all the notes in the form of a stair ) they are WAAAAY too different patterns and you just identify them at the moment and play them, is hard, i know, but idk, i just like such a different gameplay like that, it all depends on the player, how able can he/she be with the skill level and such.
And, is wayy harder to learn a intrument or practice for a rehearsal or any different videogame like, atleast for me, and is of coruse, more productive, Hope i answered all your doubts and questions from my experience, God bless you, you now have a new subscriber
Man I could watch this dude reaction to a full ost of a FNF mod and I would be watching with some popocorn
I think you can like Impatience from FunkScop, also, great reaction! love your analisis as always and the multi reaction is really refreshing, but not odd, is.. interesting
you work with blue thunder?! thats so cool! i live in washington im a big fan of the seahawks drumline. They came to my highschool around september and did a sick performance for us.
Ngl i liked way you stoped and analyzed it and explain certain tones its very nice i just feel maybe just dont rewind ⏪ too far
0:53
Yo soy Luigi mama mía 🗣🔥🔥
Exploring some more of the corruption songs might be great, because a lot of them are very harmonic, and extremely complex. There are honestly almost corrupt versions of every character in base FNF, and a lot of them are great. Favorites include Lament, Dusk, Headshot, Bloodmoon, Hivemind, Null and Void, CHKDSK, Bloodlust, and ACCESS DENIED (Just to name a few, there's a lot of songs!). The songs also usually have either a slow and intense beat, or quick and frantic, and often go for more of an EDM feel but with lots of bass and drums.
Loved the vid! Tbh I wasn't expecting another FNF video but here we are. If you're looking for the most difficult ones to play, most happen to be horror-themed mods like "Wednesday's Infidelity", "Pibby Mod" or "Vs Sonic.Exe". If you want something that isn't horror, I recommend "FNF Indie Crossout" which features Cuphead, Undertale, and Bendy and the Ink Machine. Specifically, "Burning in Hell" which includes Undertale mechanics!
Some mods to react because they are fire:
Qt mod: termination
Madness combat: expurgation
Friday night fallen: postmortem (i love this one)
Matt void chronicles: king hit
something to keep in mind with fnf corruption mod is that a lot of the early songs are just remixes of official fnf songs
the song you listened to (deathmatch) is one of the more original songs, but parts of the song are references to the official songs
the earlier songs are also currently being reworked so they're not just remixes
(speaking of, it would be cool if you maybe reacted to the official fnf songs)
If I may I would like to recommend a longer song called ’Unbeatable’ in the Mario madness v2 it’s 10 minutes but it’s a banger! And I play FNF just for the game and song there are A lot of great songs and mods out there my favorites being
1: vs QT mod ( termination )
2: vs Catnap v2 ( control & soporific)
3: vs zardy (foolhardy)
4: hit single ( silly Billy )
5: vs Tabi ( genicide )
Enjoy your content hope you do more fnf and have a good day ❤
I really like your reactions on these songs, the musical aspects are never really appreciated when your playing and getting to understand all of those aspects really adds to the song!, also, all of these songs are made by the community as the game didnt update from around 2022 to earlier this year, i recommend you to react to dadbattle erect remix, its a song made by the devs in a recent update.
Getting into FNF now is a lot more confusing than getting into FNF back in like 2021 so I’ll try to add some context to some of the things you’re seeing lol
1) What you’re looking at are mods, fanmade stuff by the community. That’s why you see stuff like Luigi, and different varieties in quality. These are mostly made by teenagers who just do this stuff for fun. They need a composer, coder, artist, note charter, and things like that so it’s a pretty difficult process for something just for fun.
2) The original reason for seeing the left side’s notes (the ai) was because the original game had a pretty Simon Says like mechanic. You see the left side play first to get an idea of what you’re getting into. This changed over time as the original game added harmonies as a mechanic, and then as mods came along and just did whatever they wanna do for the music. I recommend just looking at the original games songs too if you haven’t already.
3) The reason for songs like Defeat (the among us song you looked at) having so many notes is for difficulty of course. But I always found the fact that people can make stuff like this and it still sounding good as a song. It wasn’t always like this, though, because as mods were just starting out the songs were filled with spam in hopes of being the hardest song to play lol. Probably not that interesting from a music theory perspective but you could check them out if you’re interested. Songs like Ballistic from Vs Whitty, or any song from Vs Matt.
4) I think that’s it sorry for the long comment lmao. I haven’t tuned in to this game in a while and I was just curious to see what a music person had to say about these songs, and I guess you unearthed an old interest of mine. I highly recommend you check out the composer Saruky, who works on the mod Hotline 024. Her songs are GROOVY and she even works for the official game now
Because Base Game has people from the modding community, reccomending songs made by Saruky and Saster such as Discharge, Expurgated, Final Stretch, and Game Over. Deathmatch was an amazing pick, by the way, as that song was made by Saruky and Datdavi. Answering the question: I play French Horn and learned maybe over the course of either less than a year or maybe a year to be better at sightreading charts for FNF. We also improved in the charting over time.
I'm interested in bass guitar and drums. And personally as someone who has been playing this game since it's release and playing MANY mods created my fans, I can confidently say that this has upped my rhythm SUBSTANTALLY. If you want your rhythm to get better to an extent, you should consider playing this AMAZING experience of a game.
A deep dive video for All Stars from mario madness V2 would be awesome to see
from the same corruption mod, you should DEFINITIVELY listen to Discharge/Strength of Will, it's an amazing song and definitively worth checking it out
ABOUT YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE BARS: THE CAMERA(USUALLY)ZOOMS IN WHEN THAT THERE WOULD BE A BAR
cool bro, i like the anaylysis videos. you should look at more fnf
YEEEEEEAH MORE FNF!
I love your breakdown of the songs. I would like to suggest a few fnf mod songs for you to listen to.
Monochrome - Hypno's Lullaby
Death Toll - Hypno's Lullaby V2
PostMortem - Friday Night Fallen
Cataclysm - Vs Gorefield V2
Everlasting - Vs Fnaf 3
Free 4 me/Obituary - RodentRap/Sonic Legacy
Powerdown - Mario Madness V2
Demise - Mario Madness V2
Legacy - Friday Night Crunchin
Followed - Vs Ourple Guy V3
Rumor - Friday Night Crunchin
A lot of mods are heavily mechanics based. For example, Overdue has a mechanic where you have to hit bullet notes. Miss those 4 times, and you die. In Defeat, you can choose up to 5 misses, where if you miss more than the select amount, you dies instantly instead of the healthbar mechanic. If you want to check out a good mod that's mechanic heavy that also has very good music, I would recommend looking at Friday night Funkin: Indie Cross.
(PS, my cousin is making an fnf mod himself, it's called Vs Anima. It's a work in progress, and the songs with Boyfriend he admits aren't the best, but he has a lot more songs with original characters that are well made with decently high difficulty and are pretty long (He's aiming to make a 30 minute song at one point). If anyone's interested, then keep an eye out for Vs Anima (Though it may he renamed to something like Vs Centuria)
sup, fnf modder here (I've worked on MMNM, Analog Funkin, FNF Antiverse, Vs. Cartman, and more)
to answer some stuff (most peeps have but as someone with experience workin on this stuffs)
songs are simply imported into the engine, the engine itself doesn't add or remove anything to them, so you are hearing just an export thats been charted
the note colors (to my knowledge) do not indicate anything, charting is normally done on 16ths, and each tail is a 4th (could be wrong, and this can change with songs in swing)
the vocals having vibrato is somethin that some add, but it also comes from how the chromatic (or the characters voices) are actually made it could be different now, but normally, you would sample a noise/sound (I.E: saying the letter e) and then stretching it out. the vibrato comes from the stretch of the note itself, so most, if not all chroms that aren't one tone will have a tiny bit of it
I know a few people in the FNF scene do play some instruments, but most are DAW only (FL Studio) somethin cool you could do is a collab with LongestSoloEver, a youtuber who plays multiple instruments, and has a lot of knowledge about FNF
Some songs I would personally recommend would be:
• Any Vs. Cassette Girl song (I would recommend Machina)
• Your Copy - FNF Classified
• Alert - Friday Night Crunchin'
• Roadkill - Online Vs.
• Homie-cide - Friday Night Dustin'
• Any Hotline 024 song (I like Nightland, and Deep Poems)
• Followed - Ourple Guy
Thanks for checkin' out the communities stuff!
4/4 with 16th as the step, should clarify)
No clarification needed as the rhythms are all super basic. The cool part is the person mashing a controller 😅 Thx for info!
As much as id like to see thorough in-depth breakdowns of some of the songs, if you want to experience more fnf then its probably best to do 2-3 at a time. Just cuz theres so many to listen to tbh. If i had to suggest any, itd be anything from Hypno's Lullaby, though Death Toll, Shitno, and Monochrome V2 are probably the most notable ones :)
The game has two tracks because its typically a call and response game. The enemy, controlled by the game plays a series then the player plays it back, usually.
fnf actually helped me in learning how to get beats in a song
5:11
The answer to the 1st question is that the requirment to play good the game is good reflex a comfy positioning of the 4 required to play but ore importantly experience by starting for like very easy song and then upping the difficulty.
2 "how muxh time it takes"
For someone who playes the game since 2021-2022 to get to his skill level is required probably something araiund +90 hours of gameplay and esperience but it all depends from the person becouse the hardest part is gollowing the speed of the notes and there are some peaple that are cut for the game and peaple that will take months to get to this level, but there are some songs with special mechanics that make the game a lot harder like the impostor song and its mecxhanic is rhat you cant miss more than 5 times and i mecvhanic like this will take way more than 150 hours to overcome, even i can hardly do it and it took me 1 hour to beat it and i already had 1 year of experience.
3rd question
For me putting hours in this game is worth but its not the kind of game you play for like 10 hours straight becouse there isnt usually much content and it just gets boring but putting those 30-50 minuts once in a while helps a lot for caming the mind if you are stressed and hels with reflexes. and concentration
And last question i can answer only for myself and considering my own experience on using instruments i tried playng the guitar and the drums and they are really calming but playng those intruments didnt gave me the adrenaline that some times this game gives soo i slowly started losing intrest. but i thing that its worth it putting some time in tryng to play these intrument becouse they are a really good hobby and for some becomes passion
(Sorry if in the text there are some grammatical errors but im not that good at english soo i coud have made some mistakes)
Two songs that I'd love you to react is Powerdown and Paranoia from mario madness v2
