ambiguous disorder was renamed to Diagnosed By The Audience and is now YMMV


* AmbiguousDisorder: Several aspects of her character such as her distorted sense of self and worldview, pattern of unstable relationships, and very visceral emotional reactions point to her having Borderline Personality Disorder. Nothing concrete is said in-game however.



* ArtisticLicenseGeology: She uses a very strained metaphor to compare [[spoiler:Zuke and herself to the ocean and the tectonic plates]]; it doesn't figure very well. Of course, the fact that she finds it sensible may be a testament to [[AmbiguousDisorder her mindset]] as much as anything else.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: He primarily speaks Malay, with little bits of English thrown in for flavor. However, once he starts rapping, he drops the Malay almost entirely and seamlessly raps in English. This may be a holdover from the original plan for the game, where DK West spoke more English than Malay, but it might be in part DevelopersForesight, as you can't read the subtitles when you're wildly dodging the rapid hazards flying your way.

Badass Baritone has been disambiguated


* BadassBaritone: Has a deep, smooth baritone voice with a refined accent. In a livestream, his VA even describes it as "gentle, soothing, majestic and hypnotic ripples," and in character too, no less.

** The first time is after BBJ's victory against DJ Subatomic Supernova, which, to May's anger, was seemingly all for nothing, thanks to the launch of a new NSR satellite that the pompous DJ was apparently supervising behind the scenes. ** The second time is after the band's victory against Neon J. and 1010, where she does it out of frustration over not being able to find any more news concerning NSR. As noted above, she's so mad that she somehow believes the TV chef, whose program was running at that moment, [[InsaneTrollLogic "had it coming" and could be related to Tatiana]].

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In the sense that the initial demo pitch and the final game could be considered separate. In the first demo, when she played her piano solo to show-up Mayday and Zuke, she had a markedly smug expression on her face. In the final game, she wears a scowl instead, which indicates less a sense of superiority and more general anger towards two disrespectful people who refuse to take her concert seriously.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: She's horrified upon realizing the end result of her already destructive revolution would have [[FullCircleRevolutionsimply been replacing NSR's EDM elitism with Rock elitism.]] The last part of the game is spend trying to rectify her impulsive actions by restoring power to NSR's Megastars and then working together with them to prevent Kliff's hi-jacked satellite from destroying NSR Tower and wreaking massive collateral damage. When Tatiana finally offers Bunkbed Junction a chance to be a new NSR Megastar, Mayday declines believing that her actions prove that she's too immature and not ready for that sort of responsibility to the point where it even seems like she's about to give up on playing music period. The whole situation leaves her on the verge of tears and when Tatiana urges her to keep playing rock and carry on Kul Fyra's legacy, even handing her Kul Fyra's guitar, Mayday is reduced to a sobbing mess.]]
