Anyway for y'all who presume I'm complaining because I think "Vriska will win," I actually think whether she wins or loses this 'fight' is irrelevant. (But I don't think it's quite as unlikely a possible 'twist' as y'all seem to assume of it.) What's important here is that Vriska officially has a power that goes beyond God Tier, like this power is so gosh-darned amazing even her God Tier fairy clothes were replaced, meaning she's officially surpassed John, Gamzee, Rose, and everyone but Jack as the Most Powerful of Them All, which is just another level of Mary Sueism to add to her shining history as the love of Andrew's life.

Dude she probably had the outfit with her for the occasion. Its just a bitching powerful sword with a boat backdrop. And this is something she's always had. Not a new last minute better than everyone power. She used it in the black king battle and it clearly didn't have a permanent effect.

About going "Beyond" God tier... how much does that really mean? Being god-tiered simply gives her immortality, flight, and her luck-stealing power. It's all defensive and situational.

I mean, so what if this changes her outfit. It's just a combat buff. How do we know it's more powerful than Grimdark Rose was? I mean, Rose was restructuring the ruins of her planet as she saw fit before she went grimdark and started detonating tings in the blink of an eye.

As far as we've seen now, Ancestral Awakening has simply given her a powerful sword for a limited time. And guess what? Jack has a sword, too.

Yes, she's gone "beyond god tier" in the same way that John getting the Warhammer of Zillyhoo made him go beyond his normal power.

And with all this talk of going one step beyond, I wish I remembered how to get to that video of John as Goku.

One last thing: you say she's surpassed Gamzee. But you may remember Karkat ranting about how Gamzee's attack may have done even more damage than Vriska's (which is THIS SAME ATTACK). It's only inconclusive because this was the deathblow, so we don't know how much damage it did compared to Gamzee.

edit: derp derp more time travelin'. This one's a response to SS's edit

Update.
All of a sudden Scratch refilling the bowl makes perfect sense (Far right of the latest page's banner).

Solid Snake · 06-04-2011, 06:30 PM

...What.

I mean this doesn't even make any sense anymore. A roll of the dice transforms her into her ancestor? Suddenly she's a pirate? Does the Sword have like, a +Infinity modifier against omnipotent beings?
In retrospect it's kind of sad that Terezi's prediction about "luck not being worth anything" was just Andrew teasing anyone hoping Vriska would get her comeuppance. Instead, luck gives you everything! Including the ability to go into uber-beyond-God-Tier-mode.

EDIT: Ahahahaha I get to have the last word in everything.

Even Vriska dying here will only fast-track the inevitable scene I can't wait for in which she meets up with Tavros and Tavros tells her that being dead is no big deal and then he begs her for forgiveness because he was such a horrible person to have dared to attack her after everything she's been through.

Aaaand update. See? A sword.

Granted, it's a cool sword, but I'm guesin' it won't last forever.

By the way, the text at the bottom is "AUTO-PIRATE"

Matchsticks is such a brave firefighter.

Just lookit him fighting those flames.

Bard The 5th LW · 06-04-2011, 06:38 PM

I'd say my only real regret about this turn of events is that we didn't get a walk-about where we play as Gamzee stalking Karkat and Sollux.

Let's hope nobody filled it with shaving cream (how could it be so flammable)

How is he alive, anyway? He was one of the dead green torsos, even before Slick got shunted into a universe where they were all dead.

Bard The 5th LW · 06-04-2011, 06:42 PM

Timeline fuckery I'd guess. Remember, Slick got sent to a timeline where EVERYONE but Himself, Snowman, and LE were dead. Including CD, HB, and DD who we have seen alive and well. I imagine that in the MC intermission he was sent to a whole ton of odd split timelines. I guess he and the other MC may have found there way back to Alpha where Matchsticks still lives? Or maybe he and the Felt were just brought back to life.

I think rather than to do with that specific thing it's just because the Felt in general are all time traveling fuckheads.

Since his name is matchstick, and his number is 11 it might have to do with him being able to be in two different timelines at once.
Or something.
