[S] Prince of Heart: Rise up.

the best flash of act 6 so far.

[@dooplon5083]

I'm still a little surprised no one's talking about how Dirk was the one to kill the Hegemonic Brute. I mean, the title of Prince of Heart was taken to a pretty literal level there.

Homestuck2= Dirk Wtf

[@dark7element]

A bit of subtle brilliance in this flash: Though it initially seems ridiculous that this robot is on 'novice' mode, when you consider the incredible feats of strength and speed the bro-bot occasionally displays, it IS going quite easy on Jake. Notice that the bro-bot stands passively and waits for Jake to attack for the first minute or so of the fight, only moving to defend itself. When it does launch a flurry of attacks, the bro-bot mostly just knocks Jake around and drops him off atop the tower almost gently. Of course, as the fight goes on the bot gets more aggressive, but the robot still pauses and lets Jake get in a counter-attack occasionally instead of hitting him while he's down. Also note that the bro-bot never used the sword directly against Jake, not even the blunt side, and only rarely used its jet engines.

[@enemom]

This is basically just a way of saying Jake sucks.

[@whydotheseexistnow]

dark7element Also note the incredible feats Dirk is capable of, and you realize that a robot of himself would be even MORE powerful, and it's quite clear that, as enemom so eloquently put, "Jake sucks."

Just realized while watching this, Dirk is doing to Jake what Bro did to Dave. His abusive nature was very much already here even before the Epilogues, was just kinda obfuscated by the comedy in the same way Bro’s was before Dave acknowledged it, thus making it more clear in hindsight.

Actually, that's the thing. Brobot is another splinter of Dirk. All of his splinters (brain ghost dirk, Brobot, bro, AR etc) all have faults. Ultimate Dirk is such a dick because he absorbs all these splinters.

[@deletedTestimony]

When it turns out Beatdown/Time on my Side was always Dirk's song and not Dave's...

[@Kirbita22]

tbh i always thought it made sense, given the main motif from Beatdown was basically always heard when bro was kicking the shit out of Dave, unlike with the other guardian strife songs that seemed more evenly matched and started the main tune relatively quick. If anything, Dave's own motif from the early comic is probably Upward Movement and not Beatdown. eg in Descend, the song starts on Upward Movement mixed with Sburban Jungle because it's Dave struggling to enter the Medium, but the instant Beatdown kicks in, it zooms in to Bro slicing the meteor.

In [S] Prince of Heart: Rise Up, Brobot is seen strifing with Jake - and I couldn’t get a screenshot of this, but he hits Jake in the head multiple times, once going so far as to lift him upside down by his torso and throw him at the ground head first. At another point, Jake ends up having rocks dropped on his head, effectively knocking him out and properly introducing him to Aranea. I’m sure he could’ve suffered more head injuries throughout the game now that they’re in it, too.
