And now it's on life support and relying on fucking gay pairings to fund their shitty kickstarter game.

You know, I was thinking the other day about how much I liked the initial parallels and contrasts between the beta kids. Some of this is quite intricately done when you get to thinking about it.

>John is one of the cheery, open-hearted, trusting, optimistic prospit kids and doesn't mind being passive
>Likes to set people straight, tell the facts as they are, and gets frustrated or mocks when others try to deceive him
>Has an interest in physical "fake" magic - card tricks, sleight of hand, deception, misdirection, disguise - all prankster/entertainer stuff that doesn't actually change the matter involved, just rearranges it to alter your perception of what's happening
>Gets a dark, foreboding land full of oily businessmen in which he has to fulfil cryptic demands written on crude stone tablets, and his method of travel is trapping himself inside of small pipes and trusting a capricious breeze that takes him wherever it wills

>Rose is one of the serious, self-contained, facetious, cynical derse kids and actively aims to be in control
>Likes to turn people in circles, tell half-truths and altered stories to see their reaction, and becomes highly amused when others try to deceive her
>Has an interest in chemical "real" magic - spells, potions, rituals, ressurection, destruction - all wizard/cult stuff that tangibly changes the matter involved and has a consequential effect on the user/their world
>Gets a light, pure land full of white sands and rainbows in which she has attentive devotees at her beck and call, and pretty much nothing which stands in her way or diverts her from following her own thoughts and actions to their fullest extent

I could go on and on forever but basically

>cool detached emotionless kid gets hot, thumping bleeding heart lavaland with highly interactive naks

"Cuz ROXY IS AWESOME!!!!!!!" It's retarded how she's a non-combat class (no combat specific powers she uses like Dirk or Dave) and is beating up one of the main bads herself. No one else got a "lol so cool!!" moment besides her.

It's PURELY symbolic. Dave and Dirk both knew that his death is purely meaningless because he can be revived in a second anyway. It has absolutely no meaning.

roxys role in the story is to steal the session, and the future, from the void. she even does it with a backstab! absolutely no part of the classpect system is focussed on 'combat' or 'non-combat' and youve misunderstood it completely if you think that.
>>
>>84541218
No. She's a Mary Sue. She killed Vriska with a backstab. Without a Fraymotif! While being a non-combat class!

>>84541155
>very few combat-related abilities
I'm pretty sure being able to make yourself intangible at will, whilst not specifically design with combat in mind, is a hilariously broken ability when used in combat. Which is exactly what happened, she got a cheap shot at a critical area.

Was it the most satisfying way to handle Condy's defeat? Fuck no, the whole Condy situation was poorly handled given so few of the characters who actually had direct antagonism towards her get to fight her in the end. However, Roxy being the de facto lead of the Alphas was one of those with direct antagonism towards her and it's at least fitting in that regard she got the last hit in.
>>
>>84541309
Princes specifically destroy their aspect or with their aspect. Classpects aren't focus on combat abilities but some combinations prove more useful than others in a direct fight. Roxy going up to the Condesce and beating her up by herself and then killing her is just stupid.
>>84541315

It's not even the fact that she got the last blow. She went all "hahaahah beatdown on her all alone" and then killed her. No one else had anything "awesome" like that and it's a clear example of author favoritism.
>>
>>84541357
Vriska is absurdly overpowered and could probably take on the Condesce solo and win.

But Terezi was able to OHKO her with the element of surprise and, mostly, dramatic tension.
>>
>>84541462
>Vriska is absurdly overpowered and could probably take on the Condesce solo and win.
I really doubt that. Fuck, even Karkat beat Clover and his luck powers.
>>
>>84541357
Yes.

Vriska was almost able to beat Bec Noir and he was stronger than Condy.
>>
>>84541357
dirk destroys souls. this is mostly demonstrated by him taking away the agency and 'self' of his friends. he also tries some soul rip stuff mostly unsuccessfully. he never once demonstrates himself to be better in a straight-up fight than terezi, even though youd totally expect the 'destroyer' class to be better in a fight than the seer. because thats NOT how it works.

roxy is a good fighter. its just one part of how she steals things from nothingness for others. which is what her classpect is about. there is no such thing as a classpect that is better or worse in conbat, all that matters is whether fighting ability is required to fulfill your narrative role.
>>
>>84541496
>Most likely immune to mind control (not that this ever mattered with the Condesce, but still)
>God tier provided luck powers
>Magic dice with a super mode that allowed her to take on Bec Noir and, according to Scratch, likely win
Being overpowered is part of her entire character concept, come on. The general rule is that if her killing that character would be infuriating to every reader, then she can do it.
>>
>>84541592
she would go batman-level-planning on that fight as well. if there was a way to beat the condesce 1 vs 1 vriska would find it and if she didnt then frankly it would be out of character
>>
>>84541357
>Roxy going up to the Condesce and beating her up by herself
That didn't happen, how you've convinced yourself this is what happened is beyond me. All of the kids fighting the Condense did their part, hence the extended fight sequence with all the fraymotiffs and even then she looked more bothered than injured. Roxy just had a greater attachment to the fight than the others and thus is shown contributing above her peers to the viewer, it has a narrative function.

Add on to this that the kids were primarily trying to stall her over anything else, hoping to deal with the other fights first and then receive backup to finally put her down. Given they were on the brink of defeat it's fair to say the unexpected risky tactic was their best bet at winning at that point as their stalling tactic wasn't working well enough, something like a sneak attack when her back is turned and she's preoccupied.
>>
>>84541652
She didn't do it the entire fight but she still had the extended beatdown sequence. It's barely made a point that she hated the Condesce to her abandoned arc.

Even then, John didn't go "ahahah beatdown" on Bec for killing his father which would have been a million times more effective emotionally. It's just there to make her look cool.
>>
>>84541592
Perhaps she could, perhaps she couldn't. There's way too many variables to say for sure, given how overpowered both combatants areas well as both of them having glaring weaknesses in their personalities that could make the difference.

For instance, I could imagine Vriska trying to enter her ultimate form in the fight, only to have the Condesce stop her dice rolls from completing, thus having a huge advantage over her. Equally, Vriska could foresee that and enter that form beforehand and the Condesce could stubbornly stand and fight this temporarily empowered self and be defeated.
>>
>>84541709
>It's barely made a point that she hated the Condesce to her abandoned arc.
roxy hates the condesce more than anyone by far and the comic repeatedly hammers that in from her first lines to her last
>>
>>84541769
Nah.
>>
>>84541792
Convincing argument.
>>
>>84541709
The Condesce was the big bad of her world, she was one of the big bads for the alphas, certainly the one who influenced Dirk and Roxy the most given their upbringing under her brutal dictatorship. Certainly she was way more invested in getting revenge on her than any of the other kids there, including fucking Kanaya. The extended beatdown is the culmination of this in the adscence of the Alphas fighting her together, Jane should definitely had more of a role in that fight.

>>84541709
>Even then, John didn't go "ahahah beatdown" on Bec for killing his father which would have been a million times more effective emotionally
Irrelevant to the topic at hand, but I'll agree that should have been the big task of the Betas, but sadly wasn't included.

All I'm saying is that the Condesce didn't really seem to have much of a connection to Roxy because of her demeanor and abandoned arc. She seems like the only person who got a genuinely "awesome" moment on her own and that kind of irks- especially when compared to everyone else.

>>
>>84541856
The Condesce is tied to Roxy given the importance Roxy's upbringing had on her character and Condy was the primary antagonistic force in that setting. That's not even talking about Meenah's repeated assaults on Roxy which happens a couple of times during Act 6, which is another tie in the whole antagonism thing. Then as >>84541886 shows, Roxy has certainly regarded the Condesce as a big negative part of her life that followed her from her terrible past into what should have been the positive future.

You seem to have an issue with how Collide handled things, and that's fine, many anons will agree with that sentiment. However, you seem to be displacing your frustrations purely on Roxy which is pretty fucking stupid.

>>84542060
It's not purely on Roxy. There's a lot of shit said in the threads here that I agree with.

Roxy's feelings towards the Condesce never felt weighted and while completely understandable, they didn't carry much emotional depth or feel very important. This is more of a problem with Roxy though and this big, badass culmination that's supposed to feel awesome (and is only really given to her) just feels kind of empty. Like the thing with Dirk and Dave that I mentioned in my original post.
>>
>>84542083
okay john
how do you feel now that you know
>>
>>84542060
Not the anon you're talking to, but:
Maybe if we'd actually seen Roxy struggle in her daily post-apocalypse life, maybe if the consequences of Condy's horrible rule made her visibly emotional, maybe then it'd have weight.
But it didn't. It was purely tell-not-show, in classic Hussie style.
>>
>>84533746
I couldn't get into Homestuck. I stopped reading when I realized the only character I was actually invested in was Rose.

>>
>>84542137
i read act 6 archivally and roxys specific feud with the condesce came out pretty strong. she was responsible for roxys shitty life and roxy showed her anger over that a lot more strongly than dirk ever did, they interacted a bunch of times, and then it was the condesce that killed rose in game over. their feud was the only strong thing about the condesce as a villain, honestly, since im sure we can all agree she didnt have the same impact jack did. she was a weak choice to be the True Final Boss. that said, she was definitely roxys boss more than anyone elses, and roxy 'deserved' the final blow insofar as something like that can be deserved.
>>
>>84542137
Their antagonism towards the Batterwitch wasn't anywhere near as developed as the original antagonism from the Betas and the trolls for Bec Noir were, that much I agree on wholeheartedly. However, one thing to note is that the Batterwitch was used more as a looming threat for Dirk, Roxy and Jane, but for Roxy in particular. She's the big bad in Roxy's mind, given Caliborn was really Calliope's enemy to Roxy her connection to him came through Calliope instead of direct antagonism like Jane and Dirk had. Much of Roxy's direct anger towards the Condese comes from the Game Over timeline for obvious reasons, Collide was her chance to really have an impact given she only acted passively in the Game Over fight and it wasn't enough to help.

Though I would agree the anger portion definitely should have been handled better, but by that point Hussie seemed to have forgotten how to portray human emotions given John's lack of response to anything Game Over related.

>>84542249
Yea I can agree with that, considering how much time was utterly wasted on getting the Alphas into their session, there was so little development of their home worlds. I don't think Condy did much in the run up to the Alphas entering which was another wasted opportunity, but I still think out of anyone, Roxy had the most clear negative attachment to the Condesce.
>>
>>84542409
That's all fine and dandy and I can agree but that doesn't really refute anything I said there.
>>84542433
You see, it's understandable, not weighted; there's no emotion. Exactly what I said. Again, John vs. Bec would have been a billion times better (even if handled poorly) because it was actually given proper build-up.
>>
>>84542458
roxys flippant manner makes it unrealistic to expect her to regularly show genuine anger while staying in character. she came across as pretty fucking mad to me though
>>
>>84542500
You could make the same case for John but the situation with Bec still felt more weighted.
>>
>>84541437
beats 'whine about the same things endlessly'

omg lets talk about how bad the ending was
>>
>>84542500
I think the fact that they went to jail on Derse and Condy was there handing out cute quirky little pink glitter art projects, which Roxy seemed completely bored by, really took the punch out of their rivalry. I understand GO and Rose's death made it personal but that seems like 0.5 seconds character development compared to the entirety of the comic.
>>
>>84542538
thats down to jack being better than condy, not the depth of roxys emotions. john never showed any emotion towards jack whatsoever. john is a totally blank slate.
>>
>>84542458
Well that's the crux of it, you feel one way and I feel another. Trying to dispute someone's interpretation of the weight of a character's feelings is a fools game in my mind. Whilst we both agree it could have been done better, the general quality decline of Act 6 plays a big part in that.

The reality is that Roxy's history and negative feelings towards the Condesce have firm roots in the story in multiple scenarios and definitely more so than the other characters, even the trolls who should have the most direct connection to her. Her feelings that come from the Condesce's actions in Game Over come out as determination over anything, which has weight in itself, but there was certainly anger there too from her time in imprisonment and the post-Skaia entry conversations she has.

Well yeah it should feel like that, given Bec Noir was setup to be the big bad final boss who'd heavily influenced all the main cast until that point.

Then things went to shit and Hussie lost the plot, including how to effectively establish a villain, which is the issue with the Condesce. However, she was a somewhat successful ominous threat type of antagonist, especially for Roxy and Jane. Once she started influencing actual events in the comic she held narrative weight, she was a major threat at that point.

Her and Roxy may not have the antagonistic connection John and Bec Noir did, but there is a sufficient connection there to justify her actions in Collide in a meaningful manner, that was the point I was supporting this entire time.

Well, my point was never that she didn't really have justification. The whole beat-down thing felt empty and it kind of sucks that she was just made look awesome when compared to everyone else working as a team. I don't know, it's hard to explain. I'm tired. Please don't hate me.

I liked how Collide was 18 minutes long even though only the last 6 really matter and the rest is literally filler - some fights are at the exact same point where they started more than halfway through the video
A nice touch was having Kanaya, Jade and Karkat being completely useless (especially Jade, since we hadn't already seen anough of that, it was a very new and original concept), having Jake somehow defeat some of the Felt offscreen (but not Crowbar, which just disappears) and not have a definite follow-up to his self pity thing - btw, great choice having Spades Slick and the Felt as senseless enemies without real motivation against the protagonists, it was top tier storytelling
I also REEEALLY LIKE how there are a few points in Collide (firefly flying around, flashback to the Beta kids houses) where it looked like they were about to pull some sort of synchronized/simultaneus effort that would have them come out victorious, some sort of payoff after the lowest point of the fight where the protagonist is like "I won't lose!", and instead the fight goes on for minutes and minutes after that and they end up being completely useless apart from Dave
But the best part is definitely the one where we are led to believe that Bec Noir and PM, after a three year chase, will have a confrontation where their powers are obviusly matched but Bec Noir has kinda lost the will to fight and loses, and -surprise!- this thing that could have been predicted years ago happens exactly that way
Overall 10/10, a good solid endgame flash that wrapped everything up in a way that made sense and definitely had a reason to last 18 minutes

Yeah, except from the fact that the second part of Eternity Served Cold should have been used when Caliborn went God Tier (which -guess what- WE DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING SEE), since it's the God Tier theme with Cherubim instrumentals

>>84543009
I mean I don't, I get where you're coming from for sure, but I feel the focus of the distaste should lie elsewhere than Roxy, given it's more of an issue with both how Collide was handled and how Act 6 as a whole was written.

Roxy's focus in that fight made sense in my mind and held emotional weight given the looming threat the Condesce had over Roxy and the more direct ways she fucked with her. Roxy was using the retcon opportunity to its fullest to influence the fight against the Condesce this time given what her passive approach to things lead to in the previous time line. Perhaps John should have done more, given he was there as well, but you're right in that he was always way more attached to Bec Noir and, along with the other Beta kids, should have fought with him either in Collide or earlier.

My resentment towards Roxy is more of a general thing and all of this was just a general pointer towards the author favoritism of her.

A shame Pages never got much good cover or grounding in its concepts. I like the idea of a broken Onion Knight class that could toe-to-toe with a Lord or any other broken combination if given the time and progression.

Hussie really needed to keep the game theme going if he wanted all the aspect nonsense to make any sense when it got that rambly and vague.
>>
>>84544226
Tavros as a ghost finished his arc, WTF are you complaining about?
>>
>>84544302
That's just your theory.
The kids still need to zap back in time and fight Caliborn as depicted in his, right?
ARquiusprite is there. So sprites do survive after the game.

(They troll's died because sprites are supposed to die during the reckoning or something, but there was no reckoning in the Alpha session.)

Of course, that's assuming the kids didn't kicked the shit out of Caliborn before winning the game. But how would that work? We didn't see them leave, and we didn't see them get out of the Juju/dead Earth to pass through to victory door. So that's unlikely.
>>

>>84544418
It couldve been GO!ARquius, whom didnt die because it wasnt technically his session that won the game.

>>84544494
That assumes he escaped to the new session, but we never saw two ARquiuses despite being shown two Nannas and such.
>>
>>84544475
See this could have been a brilliant end

John uses his retcon powers to go back AFTER THE END and just fuck everything up by murdering Caliborn right after he gains his ultra session powers, killing Lord English in the cradle and then suddenly fast-forwarding to a totally different ending

It'd at least keep with the game theme of things, but instead the retcon just... became another loop to serve English's formation. The retcon was completely useless.

honestly if alt calliope ends up wrong about the green sun getting destroyed, and gcatavros survives without being cured, i'll be a TAD worried for the kids.

the guy is probably going to go batshit at some point, and vriska being able to keep him in check won't matter much if he can teleport her to a just death inside of a volcano when she doesn't expect it.

>>84544883
he exists so vriska can put gcat to sleep, because condy presumably can't wake the resulting abomination up.
he can absolutely use his powers in the session, did you miss the part about the green sun powered sneezing?
and he'll still be able to use his powers after the game, if the green sun still exists from the new universe's perspective. which is likely, given that the sun's existence is proved to be nonlinear.

The humans Vriska puts to sleep wake up eventually, I don't think there's any reason for Tavros to become the new Sleeping Beauty.

Unless Vriska always, always keeps a close eye on him to make sure he goes back to sleep every time. Which sounds really tiring.

Also, carelessly leaving behind someone with first guardian powers in close proximity to the Genesis Frog ranks pretty high on the list of worst ideas ever.

Terezi said, that the exiles were on earth not just to complete timeloops and shit but also, as we've seen in act 7, to re-civilize the planet until it reaches a point, where it's "ripe for the seeding all over again"
