[S] Dave: Accelerate

[@plasma9706]

Could you imagine if Dave had went God Tier using his Quest Bed and shit before reversing time? We're talking God Tier Davesprite.

[@de4dbutdre4ming]

nope, can't imagine it cuz dave wouldn't kill himself :(

[@mouthwide0pen]

@@de4dbutdre4ming dont need to intentionally die to die

[@nasher99]

If you die in a doomed timeline you don’t godtier and simply die.

[@anyaconda5172]

I don't think that's true. Didn't the mayor get healed by a doomed god teir Feferi?

[@SperaticRanting]

@@nasher99 no that's incorrect. Plenty of doomed players have gone godtier. You see a whole army of them in the comic actually

[@fallaciousUnion]

The fact that he managed to create a paradox that didn't collapse in on itself first try is impressive

[@jupardo]

I love how this Dave learned to fight like Bro, appearing in different places and that.

[@wimberlen]

Ikr. Especially after Bro Abused him. Dave saw Bro as this strong guy who kept beating him, time after time, and then he was killed by Bec Noir, In cold blood, right in front of Dave. No longer was bro this strong hero who Dave could never reach, he was the cheap abusive asshole who was just killed by a temper tantrum throwing dog demon. Even funnier if you think about how Dave suffered the same fate in game over.

[@theonewhoruineditall5572]

Flash stepping

[@CosmosGatito]

what even happened to Bro in that timeline? was that ever explained?

[@Sleepy-yp4wx]

@@CosmosGatito He probably died. He didn't have Davesprite or li'l cal with him because of the prototyping, so it's not a big assumption that he got overwhelmed and died to Jackspers

[@CosmosGatito]

@@Sleepy-yp4wx but Jack never got prototyped with Bec in this timeline due to Jade not entering, so him getting iced by Jack seems very improbable. i remember clearly that Dave said tracking Bro is impossible, but obviously he's still around there somewhere during the events of Dave: accelerate. do you think it's possible he pulled a candy!Dirk?

[@11atron]

Dave is a pretty cool dude; he travels through time and doesn't afraid of anything.

[@wotan.mp44]

And Isn't* Also he isn't cool he's ironic bro.

[@room___]

dave "stride" strideman baby

[@lugialover09]

I'm sorry to say...you missed the joke.

[@thegameenforcer]

I think this was the moment I decided Dave was my favorite kid. Don't get me wrong, they've all got their moments, and Dirk's certainly rising in my rankings, but when Dave's in his groove it's a beautiful thing to behold.

[@LetsStopThisSong]

I just love that at the end he's freaking out because of cal

[@TheEpitomeOfZ]

can we just take a moment to appreciate daves mouth at the end

[@theknightstemplar8418]

I fucking love this because it shows Dave's time powers in a very simple attack at 0:52 to 1:07

[@benterhorst5521]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who wants a guide that shoots smuppets out of its eyes.

[@Drew-cg5lq]

wow, just remembered that this is davesprite. i miss davepsrite. holy shit when i saw that orange "whats up" i was actually happier than when every1 went god tier i was like "OH MY GOD HE'S ALIVE" but then davepetasprite^2 happened and it was sadder than every character death wtf

[@peridot9987]

B-But that was Calsprite... (I know this is an old comment, but still.) That was the Dave that becomes Davesprite, though.

[@PascalvandenBos]

Chief Petty Officer Denim yeah so its still davesprite because he later prototypes himself

[@rela424]

Drew same lmao

[@gressorialNanites]

But then davepetasprite^2 said "claw claw, motherfucker" and everything was all right in the world

[@omeg5473]

​@@gressorialNanites they actually said "B33

[@devenlg7379]

Whoa, that description of the video is deep.

[@bigspiderseverywhere]

I remember when this posted and I was like "wow homestuck has reached a peak here, doesn't get more impressive than this". That's cute in retrospect.

[@Jh5kRadio]

When Chuck Norris was younger, he was known as "Dave"

[@AnneIllustrating]

Remember when this animation first came out and we thought this was as cool as it could get? BOY WERE WE ADORABLY NAIVE.

[@AlexMcMund]

How can one dude store so much coolness in one body?

[@analyticaltomato]

he can’t, that’s why there are different versions of him running around in all of the first part of the comic up until Cascade. Or he is so cool his body can store all the coolness, all of it.

[@anon8556]

1:14 VICTORY SCREECH!!!

[@peperoni463]

if you want to see the best attack in the entire series look at 0:42

[@iruisoleil6370]

+Gamzee Makara no way

[@onion9603]

now I cannot stop laughing XD

[@wardedthorn6523]

[@CryptTooth]

The perfect attack doesn't ex-

[@Dovepumpkin]

IT pretty much said "HAA HAA HEE HEE HOO HOO" over and over again

[@Dorsidwarf]

I miss davesprite.

[@twitchyhamster3194]

Yeah, this pretty much marks the end of any...not sadness in Homestuck. Shit starts getting HEAVY after this.

[@toasteethetoaster5978]

Davesprite's such a sad character. he watched his friends die, and spent months trying to get enough grist to maybe survive, but in the end he had to go back in time, killing rose (technically not because of dream selves but idk). I salute you, davesprite.

[@IDrawTheLines]

Future Dave fucking owns at this game.

[@UpsidePickle]

The first time I saw this, the second it ended I literally said out loud "That was way too epic for it's own good." Still true... XD

[@alextoons6899]

Best flash in my opinion.

[@jeffreyRAWKS12798]

and this is where i fell in love with dave

[@ramdage8579]

When homestuck used to be a bunch of kids kicking ass and making jokes. Then everything started becoming more and more depressing.

[@ramdage8579]

I think Homestuck is like Dave "He stopped being a cool character to become a well-written character"

[@delifresh221]

Heh. Dave's face at the end just says "oh holy crap jesus you scared me"

[@HinataKpeach69]

I like how at the end Dave and Cal just scream at eachother

[@Psy1402]

Fuck yes Dave Strider.

[@thelegendofanything]

Does anyone else listen to this on repeat? .... Also I LOVE the beginning 8D

[@jrkitty253p]

Thank god. My favorites and my gif folders are filled with Strider. I hope I'm not alone.

[@chocogirl105]

and this is where I lost my shit for the Strider.

[@independantegirl]

this may very well be one of my favorite homestuck videos XD

[@alicevitoriano]

Calsprite using that beam....

[@Pazuvuzela]

brownbuttbaby He's actually time traveling, not throwing down some sick beats.

[@thc_freebaser]

not time traveling either he's altering the timeline to his will.

[@Pazuvuzela]

Zachary Martin That happens later on. In this flash he's just time traveling. Also he's still time traveling when he alters the timeline later on.

[@thc_freebaser]

Oh what i don't get is why he takes out the timetables when he's about to fight the giclops

[@Pazuvuzela]

Zachary Martin What, at 1:08? He probably is time traveling to when the giclops is around.

[@ZygfrydJelenieRogi]

Zachary Martin That's "past Dave". We see the same sequence at 0:56 and 1:08 because it's a stable time loop- he travels to the past, so there are two of them. When the loop closes at 1:08 and "past Dave" travels back with timetables, "present Dave" proceeds to fight giclops.

[@ImpishCreations]

@JediAnnSolo Its still going to hard to trump [S] >Dave: Abscond That was the most bad ass fight I have ever seen

[@ultrixsoma2736]

Oh shit, i totally forgot about Lil Calsprite. They never explained what happened to it.

[@somethingAccurate]

Rip calsprite- the best sprite because 0:42

[@maribelhandesu]

@CXSaltwater they do exist, they just get lost in paradox space as all of the doomed timelines' kids

[@Lwantscake8]

@0:38 CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THAT CALSPRITE COULD SHOOT SMUPPETS FROM HIS MOUTH

[@LaughDonk]

funny that SPOILER Dave had his kernelsprite sort of be Lord english for a bit

[@LiamSmeesterstickyuploads]

Calsprite threw up smuppets and then became one of the pieces of puke!

[@orangeaurora]

Calsprite can turn into a gigantic smuppet!

[@BronzeAgePepper]

This Flash was amazing. But holy FUCK did shit start getting dark after this.

[@TheDecoy13]

@misssupadoodles This song wasn't taken out. The only songs that were were the Shut Up and Jam originals and Contention, those being the Dave related ones. Atomyk Ebonpyre is still available on Album 4.

[@Niklink]

DAMMIT CAL STOP BEING A UNIVERSAL CONSTANT BECAUSE YOU ARE CREEPINGME OUT

[@chocogirl105]

you are most certainly not alone i'm here for u man

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

Funny that he had a usable version of the broken Caledfwlch the whole time.

this was about when homestuck was at its best imo act 5 was the beginning of a gradual but ever-present downward spiral

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu shouts "double accell" and hopes he can be Dave.

[@Audioworm]

DAVE, Y U SO BADASS?

[@TheBina737]

You have gained all the lul'z. Aaaaaaaall of them.

[@Grandy12]

@maplelovessyrup It's Homestuck, a webcomic that instead of panels uses gifs and flashes following "commands" as if you were playing an adventure game. It tells a rather complicated tale of time-space-alternate dimensions traveling that really can't be explained in less than three pages. It's got a good cast and the plot is pretty good for a webcomic, and it's only fault is that it may get too wordy at times.

[@BriarValley]

0:58 was a fucking epic scene.

[@BriarValley]

Dave playing those turntables...OHMYGOD EPIC SCENE!!!!!

[@Saigejo]

@misssupadoodles Yeah, I found Atomyk Ebonpyre after going through a rapidsearch function.

[@VGPaticus]

Each time player has a Music based item that they use to channel the time powers before they go God Tier. Dave has the Turn Tables (TimeTables), Aradia had the Quartz Music Boxes.

[@FutureKarkat]

Hmm. I always thought Dave looked really thin in hero mode.

[@zanite8650]

@GrychoFilms the davesprite/bro/jack noir duel is pretty good

[@Crybatty]

This makes me think of metroid!

[@v01156]

I am digging these tunes.

[@CosmosGatito]

this is the same dave that took out lord english (as a part of davepetasprite). :')

[@RandomGstudios]

as well, thay are always based off that sessions scratch device. (the timetables look like the beat mesa, and aradia's music boxes look like the cardinal movement. i may or may not have spelled those incorrectly.)

[@gamertime4949]

so is this a comic or a video game or is it a movie graphic novel interactive book

[@airabasa8577]

An 8,000 page long webcomic that includes these flash animations or cutscenes, just so readers can watch pretty cool scenes complete with sound. They show up once in a while.

[@ProdigyWright]

And this marks the exact spot I started to get confused as shit reading HS my first time through..

[@01Qwertyman]

The only exception that I can remember so far would be Caliborn. But that's only because he hasn't been "here" for too long.

[@CosmosGatito]

what happened to Bro, Mom and Dad in this timeline?

[@MrUnsteddy]

Friggity frag he got that Strider swag!

[@BlarghsGameEditor]

-Nervous fistbump-

[@CodeDarkBlue]

god this little tidbit about dave having to go back into an alternate timeline because he cant win and john and jade are gone... it has me freaked out. (foreshadowing, maybe? O_o) ive heard that hussie kills a lot of the main characters off, but i sure hope its not dave or john... oh fuck D: this was kinda freaky to watch for the first time... idk

[@jixt8472]

I love the homestuck

[@Chayreus]

That was the point yes.

[@FutureKarkat]

*looks up reference* oh my god that's hilarious.

[@Usedforcommenting2]

The noise in the beginning reminds me of the Planet X from Starfox 64 with the giant fire beast.

[@Trick.Sparrow]

STRIIIIDERRRRRRRR

[@valoricintake]

It's right before the siren sounds start.

[@CelioHogane]

oh yeah, the and of the world is ultra LIGHT

[@VromNath]

This is still the coolest Land intro flash and cannot be beat by anything the alpha kids have.

[@VGPaticus]

I think she uses it to get to and leave her fight with Vriska, and I know Gamzee later steals it for his own purposes.

[@01Qwertyman]

I can guarantee you that every character has died at least once.

[@maxattack.]

PM has not died once.

[@allisondivincenzo1023]

Dave is the character I will fan girl over the most.

[@01Qwertyman]

Eh. There's probably a dream bubble SOMEWHERE with Gamzee in it. We've got all of the timelines to pick and choose from.

[@Worldtraceur]

@JediAnnSolo haha yea, and just a few comics later that happens, when future dave prototypes himself and gives dave all his stuff.

[@acrysonyk]

I WANT THAT SWORD.

[@nicksterminator6]

@JediAnnSolo It WAS awesome. But then we got to [S] Jade: Enter, and the excretion hit the whirling device

[@SphereBoxCube]

ahahahaha just HOW doomed does your timeline have to BE just to DO something like that.....

[@user-is2zv4sc6y]

So wait this is a version of Cal that isn't posessed, right? Wasn't Cal possessed in the alpha kid's timeline, though? Did he become unpossessed when this timeline entered a doomed status? Because otherwise a cursed juju being prototyped as a sprite would probably be worse than really fucking annoying. I would think.

[@sagefurry]

Maybe Caliborn couldn't talk through Cal

[@user-is2zv4sc6y]

I don't think that really applies. Caliborn isn't the only one who got trapped inside of Cal, for one, and for another I never said anything about talking. I'm thinking an evil juju would have been more actively detrimental to him and Rose if possible. Maybe sprite status prevented him from doing anything against Dave at least.

[@lecanoscoptical3455]

Lil Cal seems to be empty during Dirk's ownership. Bro's Cal should be however, since that Cal was made into Doc Scratch and by proxy LE.

[@Cri_Jackal]

Caliborn is the Lord of Time. And one of the attributes of a lord of time is that they can only exist in one timeline at a time. So when this timeline split happened, the Lil Cal vessels itself was duplicated but not the souls inside.

[@bengoodwin2141]

Xalder all the cals with blue eyes are possessed. Sprites have to help their players, so calsprite complied.

[@creeperbrofist2002]

one word: cascade

[@TheDecoy13]

@misssupadoodles No, Beatdown and Beatdown Round 2 are both still there on Album 3. Unless your talking about the Beatdown remixes on the Shut Up and Jam page, yeah those are gone.

[@Squibbo0000]

Maybe dave is using a form of time acceleration

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

Madio In Heaben.

[@Saigejo]

i'm scared, dave And I've been looking through all the albums for this track, I can't find it anywhere. Ugh.

[@miruki5568]

Yo dude I found a comment of you from 10 years ago, how are you doing now?

[@lethraxin]

@JediAnnSolo That place belongs to Cascade; Hussie said it himself.

[@N-R40k]

Average The floor is lava Game.

[@Bek359]

@spriterkid1997 Physical John is dead. John's dreamself , which John is using instead of his regular body, has access to the God Tiers. Same goes for Aradia and Vriska. That's how the God Tiers work.

[@Chayreus]

You mean his theme? Yeah, I can sorta see that, the bass line sorta sounds like his theme with some notes added.

[@darndang5000]

Best land in my opinion.

[@BoostedBonobo101]

Oh that DADA noise that plays like every few beats or so?

[@BriarValley]

Yeah, I can see that too. (I meant I DO know the Metroid Ridley, BTW, I just didn't know if you knew another one)

[@TheDecoy13]

@misssupadoodles Yeah most Jade songs were done by him. If you want the recent Shut Up and Jam songs they're on album 5. But if your talking about the Bolin ones I'm not sure. Those songs are the reason he got pissy because he wasn't finished or something, and he overreacted and whatever. Anyways, I think he has a bandcamp account too, but I'm not sure where.

[@Firegodot]

actually since aradia is a time player, you cant really steal them from her, as far as you know there is two in existance at the same time, at some point gamzee got them but at the same time aradia can travel into the future farther than when gamzee gets it so yeah...its complicated

[@BoostedBonobo101]

Well he was not scared of that thing more annoyed with it. All it did was laugh "Ahahahahahahahahahaha" Shit I would get annoyed with it as well. So he went back and jumped into the damn sprite himself XD like a boss.

[@shadthekitsune]

@THISNAMEOWNS even though this amount is not on the video, this is the reverse for 4:13. HOW CAN ANYTHING RELATED TO 4 / 13 BE A FAIL? Although I agree from 1:35 it gets boring.
