This is the fourth and final version of Ling Kano's Fighting Show. I was told not to upload it here because Newgrounds doesn't make me any money. However Newgrounds, I and this song go way back. I made the first version of this song 7 years ago for the second round of NGADM13. Later I made a season 2 and 3 remake. Now you deserve to know how it all ends with the final season. I decided to make it more authentic 70's sounding this time around, with instruments and effects from that time period and Japanese and Chinese instruments. This is the final version. What it was always supposed to sound like. Another chapter ends.
Woo those shifts, at 1:18... and 2:20...
It's epic for sure. Sounds like a story of not just battle but more so victory, and honor, and all of the good things that the battlefields of old entailed. Of valor and courage and skill and discipline and all those traits that make the greats great, that we've somehow managed to dehumanize and lose and no longer value the same way...
Anyway, as far as this song goes: awesome. Unconventional guitar. Pompous brass and strings; a subtle orchestra in back. A little tinge of Funk too with that background bass - though it seems unexpectedly far off considering it's the main genre.
I love the nuances in this; the build; the overall... epicness, really.
It's catchy. And immersive. Mighty. Great work.

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you like the song!
It's meant to sound like an opening/main theme to a Japanese show from the 70's. That's why it's uplifting. Not really a theme for during action scenes probably. I like your description!
I'm not good with genres. I don't know if this is really funk or what precisely makes a song funk anyway. I wrote this song first the way I wanted it to sound. Then when NG asked me to fill in the genre I was like; "I haven't uploaded any funk songs yet. This could be a funk song."
Yeah, super epic, it feels like a complete oddysey compressed in 3 minutes
