The most important part of this fight was Kanaya's multitasking skills.

I'll try not to do too much per page since I know the gif thread has some folks with CPUs that are on their last limb thanks to gifv and webm. Here's some more Kanaya multi-tasking. http://i.imgur.com/xaZC84Q.gifv And this part. I liked this part a lot. http://i.imgur.com/6US72AF.gifv DaveKap fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Apr 6, 2016 |

Gushing about fraymotifs and cool battles in general has already been covered so I'll refrain. Something to consider: the preceding upd8s were all about setting everyone up against their designed adversary. Why are people complaining about that being followed up by a boss fight? There are still pages to conclude whatever else needs conclusion. I wish the fraymotifs still had funny names, though. I could theorize better about their meaning if they did and I always found classpect to be fascinating.

Who What Now posted:Wait, sorry, hold up. That was my original point about witches in fiction, they have massive powers that get used once or twice in the story, and the previous quotes response is granny weather wax disapproves. paradoxGentleman posted:Gushing about fraymotifs and cool battles in general has already been covered so I'll refrain. It's homestuck there's exactly two things you can do about it. Discuss it, or Complain about it.

For what little it's worth, I had fun watching, even if I don't really care for analyzing the significance or insignificance of each character arc. I blame me not even remembering said arcs after all these years.  I'm not sure what it was exactly that came off this way to me, but the bulk of the battles felt like they could have come from, say, a fighting game or some kind of RPG. Maybe it was the slow walk cycles - Jack slowly meandering about and occasionally blasting lasers at people felt like some AI/animation weirdness I'd see in an MMO.I guess if I have one real regret, I'd have liked to see Kanaya get a bit more spotlight in the battle (unless I managed to forget something). Sure, she's outclassed by God Tiers, but that didn't stop Terezi from holding her own, and a Space/Void Fraymotif could have been interesting - or if there's some kind of close bond requirement, at least a Space/Light one. At least we got her making the most of downtime and catching up on a book. Definitely an abrupt and ominous note to end on; my best guess is that Alt-Calliope is about to complete her plan. Hopefully that doesn't bring everything to a screeching halt like it almost feels like it will.

A couple of the neat things you can do when combining time powers and seer powers: http://i.imgur.com/0nXs9Rs.gifv http://i.imgur.com/WDl9NhJ.gifv You really gotta hand it to Hussie, he's super creative with Chrono Trigger combo creations.

Man, the Terezi and Dave teamups make me fondly recall their amazing pesterlogs. Some of the best in Homestuck. I wish they'd maintained that level of interaction, but c'est la vie

Heir of Grief is such a good loving song, I was tearing up at the start of it. I don't think I've liked a Homestuck song this much since Overture back in 2012.

There's a bit more I could do but I think I covered the most interesting scenes so I'll end with these goodies and be done for the night. The homage. http://i.imgur.com/64Dp1uD.gifv The ghosticide. http://i.imgur.com/Sq6VSkG.gifv I don't think I even honestly knew what the gently caress was happening in this when I saw it for the first time. http://i.imgur.com/D9tsAWS.gifv I guess Jake did stuff? http://i.imgur.com/RZPnF9J.gifv Nope, nothing worthy of webms and gifvs.

You know, I wasn't expecting the ghosts to succeed, but they could have put up at least some token resistance.

Dolash posted:Wait, is Jane dead? She got choked hard by the Condesce and wasn't celebrating her defeat at the end. Watch, she probably is. And John seeing Dad heartbroken over her makes him go back and retcon the fight, and hussie takes down the old youtube video and uploads a new one, and however many of the 40 pages were posted get updated. Maybe he retcons the fight more than once and Hussie keeps uploading different versions to replace the old one. Only the final version is uploaded as a flash to mspa.com.

I really liked that, the sprite fights did a great job of bringing back that sense of off-the-wall fun from the early Acts that's been sort of lacking in Homestuck lately - Nanna's cookies, the wizard statue, salamander necromancy, the Felt. It balanced out nicely with the more serious character moments later in the animation.

I liked that it was pretty old-style Homestuck, like just the sort of thing we'd get accompanying songs like Beatdown early on, only taken as far as absolutely possible. And with a bit more... strength and structure to it? Most of the actual fighting felt a LOT like a good beat 'em up, rather than the more abstract yet still gamey ways a lot of those fight scenes were depicted.

Why are people so forgiving to Gamzee? I've seen a bunch of 'Poor Gamzee! ' on other mediums. Dude's literally a doomsday cultist trying to bring about the end of reality, and has murdered some of the cast. At least when Aranea killed some of the cast, her endgame was 'save reality', not destroy it, and the fandom seems to loving loathe her.

Man I cant believe this poo poo is finally, actually ending. My heart broke a little when Bec Noir died, he was like the OG bad guy in the comic and he's been rampaging around the comic for a long, long time and seeing him die was a very 'oh god the comic is actually ending' kind of moment. Okay that's a lie my heart broke a lot, I'm going to miss this stupid goddamned longwinded comic. Homestuck ending is definitely a good thing because it's definitely past its expiration date and like huge swaths of act 6 just dont need to exist, but its very bittersweet Magres fucked around with this message at 11:29 on Apr 6, 2016 |

Do we know he's dead? I mean he got his arm cut off, but he seemed alive before he got punched in the face and ended up on the ground next to Jade.

Yeah, I especially liked that we finally got to see some fraymotifs featured as they've been mentioned since forever but I'm pretty sure they were never pictured until now. And like you said, the 2D fighting game style parts were probably my favorite part of the flash aside from when Dad finally hulks out and helps put the hurt down.

His established timeline involves being dunked under the oceans until they dry up so he can raise the cherubs, checks out for still a crazy cultist.
