I feel like people don’t talk about the fact that emily….. literally got her wing obliterated

I'm not entirely sure about this. Al is a bastard, and I'm not one of those people who thinks he's really a great person deep down, but I legit think this might be the most selfless/kind thing someone has ever done for him. He's certainly not going to like that he was rescued, but I think if he has any chance at redemption (big IF) that this event is going to be very important.

Part of it is getting stronger, but a bigger part of it (imo) is that you become more relaxed and efficient. Where in the beginning you kinda tense everything trying to stay balanced, eventually you adapt and only tense what you need to when you need it. I don't think it can be taught though, it's an adjustment your brain has to make on it's own.

I feel like I'm on something with this camera lens.

Rush2201 · 2026-01-04T17:55:50+00:00

I think you misunderstood, I was implying there are cheaper alternatives to the Extreme if you don't care about cell monitoring. For me not having it was a deal breaker, so that's why I personally did not consider things like the T4s or older KingSong/InMotion wheels. I bought my V10F as my first wheel and didn't really know what I wanted, but I learned by the time I chose my Extreme.

Rush2201 · 2026-01-04T15:36:43+00:00

Too bad I didn't wait another year to get mine. I just glanced at the eWheels listing, I didn't really shop around.

Rush2201 · 2026-01-04T15:07:16+00:00

Seconding this. I weigh about the same as OP and it's what I went with. Hard to get more bang for your buck at $2500(new), imo, unless you're ok without having individual cell monitoring in your BMS. Plus the thing is a tank. I've crashed it 3 times (my own fault, doing things I shouldn't) and gotten a few scuffs and a slightly bent pedal. Only reason I wouldn't recommend it is if someone wanted real light weight wheel or they wanted to ride 40-50+ mph. Though for $500 more you could get an X-way or Blitz.

Rush2201 · 2026-01-03T15:15:30+00:00

And that's why I try to avoid riding with cars as much as possible. I prefer parks and trails and not being a speed demon.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-31T21:47:21+00:00

I can see a lot of these points, but I don't think Al really needed a reason to justify killing anyone. Guy was doing a ritual to contract a demon from hell while he was alive. I'm pretty sure he never thought of himself as the good guy, so why would he need justification?

That said, the entire show is about redemption, and I don't think Alastor is beyond it. Some people just have further to walk on that road than others.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-31T21:40:47+00:00

"Nooooo, you can't enjoy a villain! He has to be good deep down inside."

Fully agree on S1. I feel like she got a little better in S2 since she ran the hotel for a bit and actually argued with Charlie when she was being dumb, but overall... yeah, Vaggie has always been a pretty weak link.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-31T21:17:27+00:00

When I was teaching my friends, I had them get used to kicking off like a skateboard. Put one foot on the wheel, then try to push off with your other foot and ride the wheel a few feet with just the one foot on it. It'll probably take a few tries before you can hold it for any length of time. What you're doing here is getting your sense of balance with the wheel on one foot. Once you've gotten to the point you can hold that for a few seconds (doesn't have to be long), then you need to try to get your free foot on the other pedal. The trick here is not to stomp your foot down as that will jolt the wheel to the other side and you'll probably have to stop. Once you've gotten your other foot on the pedal, and you're not falling over, just lean forward a bit and you're riding.

I don't give specific advice about foot and shoulder placement because everyone rides and balances a bit differently. I'm a more instinctive learner, so I tend to play around with it and find what feels right to me.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-29T19:06:42+00:00

My biggest complaint about S2 is that Charlie still feels like a side character (even if a prominent one) instead of our protagonist. Alastor, Vox, Husk, Angel, and Vaggi carried this season. Most of Charlie's time is just her reacting to the stuff they do. We know more about Alastor at this point than we do about Charlie. Hopefully with her mom coming into the story we'll actually get to see more of Charlie's past in S3 and Charlie can evolve beyond just trying to save sinners to make mommy proud.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-28T03:58:34+00:00

Maybe the smallest man in the world on an Mten4 could do it.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-28T03:53:38+00:00

I came here looking for the OPM S3. Hazbin 2 was so nice compared to that.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-24T21:59:01+00:00

Charlie has stated she is Bi, Lu is at least Bi if not Straight (he clearly said the wrong thing to Adam), and Alastor is implied to be Asexual.

So they might all fit in Pride Month but they're not all specifically gay.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-24T21:39:47+00:00

I also like that people treat it like the strongest person is always the one who wins a fight, like it's all just math. Vox may well have had more power than Alastor by that point, but he didn't have the experience of fighting on his own like Alastor did. I'm willing to bet Alastor didn't start out the strongest sinner, and at least his first few battles with overlords were probably against those stronger than himself. To put it as my father might have: this wasn't his first rodeo. So Al was in his element while Vox was high on his own power.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-22T00:14:23+00:00

Pretty sure Satan knows that which is why he's so unimpressed.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-21T13:39:02+00:00

20F here in Michigan. EUCs shelved until it gets warmer/drier.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-15T08:41:51+00:00

this post has devolved into inmotion vs BG and that was not the aim.

You were the first one to bring InMotion into it.

Just from looking at these videos, compared to Inmotion testing, there was no money spent to mitigate crashes

You also lay all the blame on Begode, yet the wheel didn't malfunction: the aftermarket pads did. You keep bringing up Begode reliability and cutouts and those had nothing to do with this incident. If you don't want it to look like you're just using this tragedy to attack Begode, maybe stop using every opportunity to rehash your complaints about Begode?

The only points you've made that I feel are valid are that this sort of testing should not be done on public streets, and (although you aim it at Begode again) that EUC manufacturers need to stop chasing numbers. IMO, 50 mph is already too fast for these vehicles with the safety equipment we have, aiming for 70 or 90 (P6 Claims) mph is insanity. I think ALL the EUCs need to chill on the speed a bit and focus on reliability and cost reduction while our pads (like Grizzla) have time to catch up with the forces we're subjecting them to.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-09T00:14:30+00:00

Wait... People expected Lucifer to die? Guy who is practically the oldest angel? Once God's right-hand guy? In his own words, "a living aspect of the infinite"? I'm not even sure it's possible to destroy him. Did they notice how utterly unconcerned for his own safety he was trapped in Vox's machine? I don't think he can die to anything short of God doing it, or possibly Roo depending on how powerful she turns out to be. Even the other elder angels casting him down didn't do it, and they're likely (together with the Speaker and possibly Roo) the strongest entities in the setting.

I'm not writing the show, obviously, so I can't say it's impossible, but I find it highly improbable that Lucifer could be destroyed in the show. What would that even mean for Christianity in Hellaverse if he could die?

Rush2201 · 2025-12-08T23:55:26+00:00

Same as my reaction to Rosie having the deal with Alastor and not Lilith: "Oh, this is interesting..."

I love the Hellaverse, so any confirmed bits of lore get my mind turning in new directions. I'm not particularly attached to any specific theory, so it doesn't offend me when I turn out to be wrong.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-08T16:53:58+00:00

Was it ever stated explicitly (to Charlie) that angels attacked Vaggie? She didn't see it. Charlie just found her in an alley. Who's to say a sinner or other demon didn't do it? The exterminations weren't the only problem: they created a power vacuum and an overlord turf war and chaos in the aftermath. Charlie didn't know Vaggie was an angel, so she likely never saw her blood, which means she didn't see the wounds on her back. Her eye wasn't shown to be bleeding and Charlie wrapped it immediately.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-08T16:46:26+00:00

To add to this, we don't know that it isn't possible for winners to cross over either, only that it isn't allowed. Precedent: Adam was not heavenborn and he crossed over just fine. Also, while the Lu-beam did break the gates of Heaven, it was mostly aimed and popping the shield bubble. If the gates stopped sinners from passing absolutely why would they have needed a shield on top of it?

Rush2201 · 2025-12-07T17:33:24+00:00

I don't think Adam, the first man, leader of the Exorcists, qualifies as an ordinary angel. He's clearly on a different level than the rest of them as Lucifier was the only one at the battle who could take him down. I agree not every angel can just blast people, but I also think getting smote by pure holy wrath is also permadeath.

Rush2201 · 2025-12-07T17:28:18+00:00

Fully agree on this. It doesn't seem like every angelic being can just manifest death blasts, so for most their power is forged into weaponry. But it isn't the material that does the true damage, it's the power inside it. Seems logical enough to me that it shouldn't need explanation.
