Meta The Gaming Knight with a HAMMER and windy power

[@gooba4079]

Correction 13 year old god with goofy yet strong hammer and wind powers vs dog/alien with op space powers and a sword and bloodlust

[@realnameJohnsmith]

Umm.. a god - merged dog partially responsible for creating the universe. I love how the kids literally fight LORD English (there's one god) JACK ENGLISH!!! (Host of Godlike power!) Multi -trillion dollars tech Jack, and then the bringer of the Apocalypse Her Imperious Condescence, and finally ANOTHER god, DogJack. They literally fight gods.

[@jnynv5430]

a god-dog fusion like being that could probably kill you by blinking at you vs one windy boi

[@islandsong1251]

who would win A knight of time capable of exploiting time and can use time as a weapon OR some dogs

so this is basically John (Showtime on epic guitar) vs Jack Noir (Black in the always old jazzy mood)

he gets stabbed in the back tho, doesn't he?

With rose saying hi while playing violin.

[@starryboom2726]

A few people are asking for an animation with this song. However, this song already goes with a battle in-comic. Remember when John and Jack were in the same dream bubble? Remember the fight? Yeah, that's this.

[@americamay6656]

Starry Boom Flash name?

[@alexandershea2418]

@@americamay6656 It wasn't a flash, just regular panels. So this didn't actually play during the battle, but it was inspired by it.

[@snowyowl2784]

~Thanks For Playing~

[@Zoops417]

The end.

[@cjmarshall7970]

John: Why...? He did nothing to you. He was just a completely innocent man looking for his son. And you murdered him without purpose or reason. Do you want to know who his son is? I think we both know the answer to that. And now I'm going to make you pay with your blood! *Music begins*

[@Suphave]

true

[@tenorHarlequin]

The two main motifs in this song come from Showtime and Liquid Negrocity, both of which are 2 minutes and 11 seconds long, adding up to this song which is roughly twice the length. John's Showtime motif expands melodically, reflecting his growth physically, mentally, and emotionally, while Jack's motif stays relatively static, reflecting his "classic" bad guy arc.

[@seizakawamilky]

Good to know there's still so much Homestuck fans out there. Also, great track. I like how it portrays both Jack and John pretty well while still in an epic tune.

[@madalynbrown4687]

yet it would sound so out of place in the princess bride...

[@warxtron]

Someone needs to animate this, kinda like Rex Duodecim Angelus.

[@whyhasgodabandonedus9665]

i'd kill to see this,sound judgement or lilith in starlight animated

[@celestialjunipers6829]

Diego Shipmon IS THIS A HAMILTON REFERENCE

[@micro3ave591]

It literally already is tho

[@carlweeper7436]

@@micro3ave591 I mean we just got some pages of John fighting Jack in a dream bubble but it would’ve been so good to see a full animation of that with this music

[@salokin3087]

Well John got a bonk in at least...

[@archagenteverlasting1239]

*8onk!

[@Isuream6331]

If you think about it, as John didn’t take any damage himself, that means he technically won the fight. That makes him the only player to get into a fight with Jack and win.

[@fabulog7010]

Oh. My. God. I just realized that the title was referring to John and how Jack killed his dad. I thought it was just another Hussie movie reference.

[@Muriuki34]

Actually, it is. Princess Bride, and Inigo Montoya. "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die."

[@fabulog7010]

+Muriuki I knew the reference. I thought it was only a movie reference and nothing more.

[@bleachlover43]

. . . I thought it was a Star Wars reference. . .

+Diana Saucedo (Sinful Homestuck Trash) well go watch the cinematic perfection know as "Princess Bride"
