I uploaded this video the day Cascade came out due to Newgrounds (and subsequently MEGAUploads) crashing due to the high volume of traffic. With the death of Flash, I'm glad I kept it up. Sorry for the white bars, crispy music, and the small audio distortion when Jade took Skaia; I hope you understand why it was a bit of a rush job. Cheers.

There is legitimately no feeling quite like watching cascade for the first time on the site and seeing the animation suddenly EXPAND
it's too bad though, since it isn't on the site anymore
now it's just the newgrounds link, which says PLAY but does nothing, it's such a bummer.
@@kieransmith9616 thankfully now there is the unofficial collection :D
I honestly never realized that happened
YEAH oh my God it was so amazing I couldn't not show everyone at school 💀
Those were the days fr
remember when we crashed newgrounds
Oranges Please Good ol' time.
suckers.
1.2 million people trying to watch at once, that's hilariously huge
Of course. A glorious day of Internet History.
broke Newgrounds, MSPaintAdventures, and then the flash got mirrored and we broke the mirror site. oct 25, 2011 was one hell of a day.

Dear god, that moment with the Red Miles. For context, until this point the entire comic had always been a fixed screen size. When it zoomed out and filled the screen, it was like that moment from Wizard of Oz as it turns from a sepia-tinted black and white to full Technicolor, but instead of gentle child-like wonder, you had this insane boss-battle "oh shit" moment as Jack shows how he can destroy entire universes if he reaches them.

Dave and Rose's ascend to God Tier was hands down the best thing ever.
Yes that's my favorite part of Cascade, the music there too.
Debatably Jade's ascent to dog-tier was even more powerful.
@@GSPV33 True, but I loved the music better for Dave and Rose. Jade's was pretty great though too.
If only I could find the music to that part

+Rapid Rapster Twinkly herbert
WHYYYYY
well, maybe that's why he's the AIMLESS renegade haha *thinks of his permanent death and sobs quietly*
At this point, he was technically Armaments Regent, the last we saw of Aimless Renegade was a while ago, and the last we saw of Authority Regulator was even longer ago.
I love how Jade immediately knew how to use her powers, she's like.. instantly powerful at the start of her rising to god tier. I think there's only one or two characters that can match up to her in power.
That's because Jadesprite merged with her somehow when she ascended to God Tier, and sprites have encyclopedic game knowledge. She got the knowledge of a sprite, the power of a first guardian, and the perks of becoming God Tier, all at once.
@@blahthebiste7924 and then Hussie had to completely nerf her for the rest of the comic lol
@@Kiwi-rx7jg Jade and Jack Noir both end up in the same situation where their unintentional powerups end up doing nothing but fucking over their teams by presenting them with a massively overpowered enemy.

@@blahthebiste7924 Jadesprite WAS jade's dream form. When you die on your quest bed as your real self, you come back to life as your dream self. I can't remember how this happened, but her dream body got prototyped into her kernelsprite

I love the symbolism when Spades shoots Snowman. The bullet looks exactly like a cue ball, and Snowman is made to be the 8 ball. When the cue ball hits the last ball (8 ball) in the right spot (the heart), it goes into the hole and the game (the trolls universe) ends.
I'm a little late but woah I did not see that man
I love the little things Hussie adds here and there. It gives everything so much character!
The bullet is a cue ball

Ahh the memories
+WaterDragon788 Im crying.
+Ale Schmidt remem8er when it was made to look like it was made in ms paint

[S]:Collide was nice, but I think the reason it doesn't beat this is because there weren't really any surprises. As far as we can tell, everything went exactly as expected, whereas literally every moment in Cascade is mindblowing plot-wise.
Except for Understuck happening, most people didn't see that comming
I didn't get any surprise from cascade since I watched it after finishing Homestuck and everything made sense
Collide itself is cool for completely different reasons from Cascade. Cascade basically was the final tipping point of setting up everything in the entire plot, whereas Collide was the final payoff to all of it. Even the words Cascade and Collide in context to their respective animations is literally meaning to set up a _Cascading_ sequence of plot points, ultimately _Colliding_ in a finale.
@@Templarfreak holy shit
The plot i feel went downhill after Cascade
I feel like many people don't realize just how big of a threat Jack really is because he is constantly overshadowed by English. Not only does Jack possess the powers of a First Guardian(One that showed he could easily destroy an enormous asteroid[and simultaneously wipe out the entire human race]), he also has the Miles which can TRAVEL THROUGH ALL OF REALITY. I know Jack has been...tied up with things(Namely a pissed PM), and can't attack Jade, but if English didn't exist, Jack would be an unbeatable boss, as Karkat said.
If alt!Calliope didn't black-hole the Green Sun they'd still be dead, that house ain't doing anything against Jack.
jack can't attack jade at all remember.
Couldnt Jade just use her space powers to get rid of the ring?
@@izzrainy7410 Not quite. As a consequence of introducing more powerful villains, the characters themselves become more powerful as well. Post-Cascade PM could kill Jack, Vriska stood a pretty good chance with her y^8 die, they have that whole ghost army, and the sprites squared are extremely powerful. Bec Noir has become a small fry. It's a shame that--since he was most likely originally intended to be the main and most powerful antagonist--he has hardly any relevance post Cascade, and spends 3 years being chased across time and space only to be swiftly defeated.
Pre-Cascade? I agree. After the scratch, the kids grow a lot stronger, and the alpha kids had some serious powerhouses too. At that point, Jack was a big threat, but not an unbeatable one. Specially when Jade is at least as powerful as him, and after we saw that John can actually trade hits with him and even gain the upperhand in a 1 on 1.
Given, you said this 5 years ago, and I'm not sure if most of what I said happened yet at that point. Except for the Jade thing. She has the same power as Jack (first guardian) and then some, being a God Tier Witch of Space.
"I'm done reading Homestuck! It's too hard to comprehend!"
*Proceeds to read another 600 pages and gets addicted again.*
It gets easier to quit once shit hits the fan. And I'm not talking about the pre act 5 gag, I'm speaking about the input from the larger input affecting the story and gags negatively. Luckily music is banger until the end.
I think how hard it is to piece everything together is a lot of the charm. In a book or movie, the sheer incomprehensibility of it all, the fact that you need to go back and reread/rewatch a whole bunch of things would be just plain bad storytelling. But in a webcomic, especially one that originally had days between updates, the process of working out what's happening and piecing it together is half the fun. I really wish I'd read it when it first happened and been able to go through that process in the fandom rather than just on my own.
I find it funny how the beta kids didn't even try to stop the reckoning. They just kinda worked around it.
Lucas Exempli Gratia Smith sorry for the late reply,but in their session it was litterally impossible to stop the rekt-oning because of Jack.If i remenber correctly,you need to destroy both the ring and the scepter of the Black Queen & King. However,Jack took the ring and became an almighty omnipotent demon who can turn 14 planets and a universe into nothing just with a few hours.Good luck destroying the ring with that setup.
Yeah, but they still could have tried.
Lucas Exempli Gratia Smith they actually tried BEFORE bec's prototyping (davesprit and bro fighting jack)
Oh yeah, huh.
also they knew it was impossible for them to beat jack,just because he was in the troll session
i mean if they were supposed to succed at killing him he won't be so,what would be the point of trying ?
And they were only 13 when this happened...
AND THEY BARELY SLEPT
+Erica Baker Even more insane, from troll perspective, it happened instantaneously.
+Erica Baker aka 5 Acts actually happening in 1 FUCKING DAY
123flowermax EXCEPT JADEEEEE xD
+Elite Aspect I don't think the traveling on a ship part counts as their session, since they scratched it and destroyed it before that.
I have just watched [S] Cascade for the first time, and wow.
I thought Homestuck would be a silly webcomic about kids playing games in their bedroom.
I was wrong. Shit.
So wrong. Also, every human and troll has died at least ONCE.
SPOILER ALERTnot dream Roxy
Both are still Roxy. Though Dirk has never officially "died" to anything, as it was technically suicide. Only PM has officially "never died."
+pikminman13 jack never died either
Well, even though i assume you mean Bec Noir, i feel like he does have something that qualifies somewhere, though i dont recall where i got that from. Though due to your lack of specification, i could say jack has died, as robo jack and LE jack are both dead.
You guys remember naming John?
This is what came from that.
What will the name of this young man be.
Dirk: That's the best fucking question
Dirk: Anyone ever asked
First and last line of Homestuck
It Seems the Only Real Action is Inaction My heart just imploded
John could have been named Clint Newton
Thats not his name fool! Its Zoosmell Pooplord!

it's a fourth fenestrated plane, but still
No, it's the fifth wall
@@higztv1166 Nah, the fifth wall is the one in Doc Scratch's home. Jade never interacted with it; that one was reserved for something even weirder.
i fucking cried when the mayor died
He's not dead
Garrett Norwood he died, but feferi revived him.
+Garrett Norwood Also, may I say a spoiler?
Did you saw when they threw the mayor into the lava in act 6? you know. the part when dave rescues him? well, that's probably a lot of the fandom.
ME TOO
My headcanon is that Homestuck is just john's fever dream after eating too much cake.
Ironically, while Bec prototyping himself ended up with Bro's death and Jack's power being extremely potent, he gave him his one weakness: Love. Love was what caused him to carry the now-dead Jade, one of the kids he wanted to kill from the start, and carry her to her quest bed to be revived in god-tier. Love was what caused Jade to come back to life and lead to everyone escaping to the post-scratch world. Love was what caused Jack to, ironically, save each of the kids he set out to kill.
Good dog.
Best friend.

Whoops, lemme fix that.
Good Jack
Best Noir
Yeah, so technically vriska making John fall asleep when he was supposed to prototype something saved the whole beta session.
*+Dave Strudle* No, it *fucked* the whole beta session. It saved all the beta *kids*
One of the things I love about this flash is the way in which it sums up the perfect interplay of the relationship between the music and storyline. Homestuck is one of the first works to really take advantage of the medium which is the internet and combine so many different forms of storytelling (text, images, sound, video, interactive panels and minigames), and similarly the music here is one of the first I've come across that so elegantly combines highly divergent styles of music and the instruments involved while still giving each group their own highlights and prominent passages.
Seriously, I've worked out that if, as I honestly think there should one day based on the quality of the music alone, there was ever to be a Homestuck Prom, the Royal Albert Hall would require a full concert orchestra, two pianists (and possibly two pianos), two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, a high quality soprano and a full choir just to do this song! And they're all interwoven and spread out throughout the piece!
You would also have to take into account that there is old-style electric pieces in this collective, so let's not exclude the techno aspect. Other than that, I fully agree. And who else would agree that this would be mind-blowingly amazing to listen to?
Half of Homestuck, from the start of A2 Sgrub to the Universe B Scratch, took place over one day.
*One day.*
Actually it was just the kids session to the Universe B Scratch. Sgrub took place over a period about about 200 hours (I think Vriska mentioned it once).
Mr. Miniike Oh... Yeah.. Now that I remember, the kids' reckoning actually happened a lot earlier than it was supposed to as well. That would explain why it only took one day, but still; they completed quite a lot for a short time.
THEY'RE SO YOUNG

Can we just talk about how darkly hilarious it is that Hussie brought the "edible uranium" gag and made it plot-relevant?
I don't care if the rest of Homestuck is 100x more clever. This is just too cool.
The psiioniics fastest speed was thousands of light years in a matter of hours right?. Well the green sun is the size of two universes and in the space between the green sun and where the meteor was there was space for about 10 green suns which means sollux propelled them about 20 universes in a few minutes outdoing his ancestor by a factor of over 100 trillion
Good Genius. Best Math
+Kaito Kumori lol thanks.
+thatoneperson I thought the green sun was 2 times the MASS of the universe ?
The wiki says its twice as massive as earth's universes so its probably size. Might be mass tho!
MASSive implies mass. If it was two universes, they'd all be dead from UV ray exposure and radiation poisoning.
This cinematic is the embodiment of "shit is going down like you can't even imagine, and that's really all there is to say on the matter".

How the story introduces characters makes you have them feelies, even with the antagonists. Masterpiece

I think that god tier jade looked pretty bad for the first 20 seconds or so. I mean, the pose she had was pretty weird considering she just died. Why would she be holding up a green ball to dave and striking a pose?

I have always heard about homestuck, back in 2011-2014. You couldn't go anywhere on the internet without hearing or seeing something about it. It was chaotic. I never read it because i was under the mentality that popular + crazy fandom meant the WHOLE THING was bad.
Until about 2 weeks ago.
I started reading this thing. And despite all the homestuck's controversies, the most incredible thing is that the base material is genuinely enjoyable and worth reading. Its insane how fun it is to read this. Andre Hussie is like the Hideo Kojima of fucking comic writers. it's insane how good this is. I love it.
Im only about half-way through (4.8k/8.1k), and i am still so pumped to read more everytime
I'm so sad that I am late to the party, i wish i read it sooner.
Also, THIS FUCKING CUTSCENE. THIS. CUTSCENE. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. SO GOOOOOD.
Hats off to Hussie, he made a CLASSIC.
Correction. He used to be like Hideo Kojima, but unlike Kojima Hussie adjusted himself to crazy cult of political correctness.

I remember last week, I was tasked with reading Homestuck so I could catch up with my friends. I laughed, I cried, and it was just plain awesome. They were all telling me about cascade, and how it was so awesome and how it would change everything, and one of my friends told me to film my reaction. I was on page 4000-something, so I was a ways away. But I kept reading, and yesterday, I arrived on page 6008. I saw the command [s] Cascade, and I swear my heart rate tripled. This changed Homestuck forever...

You caught up in a week? It took me 2 days to read 1000 pages. How TF is that possible?
John Egbert i'm a preeetty fast reader. XD
Also, the fact that i was tasked by my friends to get there asap got me motivated enough to read extremely fast. that, and the fact that i skimmed pretty much everything.
+John Egbert I read from around the middle of the comic to terezi remember in maybe 8 hours. There were tears, laughs, and me wishing there was a nearby stump.
I can read pretty quickly but it kinda sucks because I couldn't stop reading homestuck that day so I ended up reading the rest of the comic and I think me saying I need a stump shows exactly how I feel
The worst part about Homestuck being a genius masterpiece is how stupid it is, and how much I don't care about the stupidity and love it anyway.
Homestuck was so ahead of it’s time man
You know what I’ve always found incredible? That moment when PM comes hunting down Jack, and passes through the station with the ring on, and Jack just turns around. You can see in Jack’s eyes when he spots her, he’s _terrified._ PM, now overflowing with rage because her friends just died, now has nearly limitless power, and she will never ever stop until she hunts him down. He may be the Archagent of Derse, but even he couldn’t plan for this.
you cannot miles the red escape.
How do you plan on HEARING me when I am ALREADY STOPPED?

He was actually amazed.
Insert space joke here.
Burn this thread with fire. Burn it.
I don't care what anyone says. This is artsy as fuck. The only people that ruined Homestuck was it's own fanbase.
homestuck’s fanbase hit hussie with a massive truck and he retaliated with the worst of homestuck as a comeback
i highly agree with that
So fn true
Fuck, I know everyone talks about Jack expanding the borders with Red Miles, but that visual effect of the scrolling ornate wallpaper in the background showing up as Flare kicks in at 4:40 is just magnificent
The whole border effect thing in that part is amazing - shifting to a picture of Derse, to the colors of the sacrificial slab, to the colors of the tumor, to the colors of the universes, how blue slowly starts to fill up the screen when it zooms in on Universe A, and the background effects for the standoff on the roof. It's just perfection.
I can't believe it's 2020 and [s] Cascade still manages to make me emotional watching this... the homestuck never really leaves you, does it.

I don't know why, but this makes me sob every time I watch it. It's truly beautiful. I know it's weird to get attached to fictional characters but...they've come so far :,)
Homestuck started when the kids were 13. And now, in 2014, they're going to be turning 18. How crazy is that? I love Homestuck, it is so inspirational and It's just one of those life changing things that some people don't understand.
4 years on and I feel the same thing.
AMEN
You know, I might have next to no interest in Homestuck itself nowadays, but I can't not come back to the flashes every now and then. They're the inspiration and investment point for many.
Sn wman versus Spades
Me: We already know the victor of this fight. Jack can't kill her, or the universe will end.
SS: *shoots Sn wman*
Me: Wat.
+Liam White Hussie has said that Slick was trying to kill himself along with her.
@@CJCroen1393 basically suicide 8ball

which also kinda lines up with bec jack noir casting red miles, because the universe frog was also kinda him
11 years of HISTORY
Dude it’s been SO LONG since this page came out, and I STILL get chills every time I watch this.
I know right…
1:45 when the guitars do the fade in, this chord progression makes me cry idk why that part in particular makes me feel that way, maybe because it's the first time you see the exiles and knowing how something that long ago that was put on hold can possibly fit back into the story is incredible. unbelievable
happy [S] Cascade day

OH MY GOD just realized this: Jack, aka Spades Slick attacks and prevents Bilious Slick (the universe) from reproducing. Jack "Spades Slick"....
Reading homestuck for the first time in 2022 makes me wish I was there to experience it when it was being written, though waiting for new pages would probably kill me. It's fun to look at the youtube comments of important scenes like this and get an idea of what it was like to see this when it was new.
as someone who was there reading live from the middle of Act 5-2 clear through to the end, everything up until Cascade was honestly hype as fuck. i have never anticipated any piece of media harder than i did Cascade and probably never will. the scale of the reaction to it was unlike just about anything i've ever seen, nor has anything so thoroughly lived up to the hype it built. i truly weep for you that you weren't at least able to experience it before Flash died.
reading it while it was written at any point after Act 6 started was an exercise in suffering for multiple reasons, many of which make little sense if you're just looking at the comic and not at all of the supplemental fandom stuff going on at the time. very few of us made it to the end without dropping interest in the comic entirely.
Absolutely agree! I started reading Homestuck at 2012 and wasn’t actually a part of a fandom. But when the Cascade came out, the amount of hype and loudness (of the young age Internet surfers) was higher than everything I can personally think about even now in 2022😅
I can't believe Homestuck broke TWO MORE WEBSITES since then. Happy 10/20 everyone!
I still get shivers when the part where Jade ascends to Godtier comes up man. Shit was real.
This comic still has some of the best music I've ever heard.
God tier Jade is OP.
Well one tends to be OP after becoming a literal god, Jade being the most OP
A fully realized Witch of Space with the powers of a First Guardian, thanks to Jadesprite.
Fuck yeah, she's overpowered.
good witch
best deity
there is truly no feeling comparable to that of watching [s] cascade for the very first time and its still just as awesome when rewatching it
Watching it rn what the fuck is going on
I remember when I first saw this. I was so captivated by the music and animation, it was GODLIKE. I told myself I was just going to listen to the music but I just finished watching the whole thing again and there are suddenly tears in my eyes. Wow, even after watching this like... 8 years ago? It is PHENOMONAL. I will never get over how good Homestuck was and is.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO OUTRUN ME WHEN IM ALREADY HEREE
flash is loosin support at the end of this year(2020) so we gotta archive these before they are gone forever
Nearly 10 years ago and still looks like it was made yesterday... I remember seeing dave's iPhone 3GS and going "Wait... That was new at the time... Woah..."
That "S u c k e r s" gets me every time. Played like fiddle!
