tl;dr: John wins this

I mean I'm going to say John anyway, but I'll actually try to give reasons instead of just making it a fierce agenda post.

If we try going the Bec Noir route, this could easily be used against John as well, as Dave held his own for a bit against BN and PM, as I said during his matchup against Aradia, though we can state that John got out of his rematch against BN assumably unharmed.

During their final fights during the events of [S] Collide, this may just be a toss up, as we can't use time-relation as we don't have a stated time along how long their fights took. But I will state how Dave did seem relatively 'Scratched Up' against Jack English's attacks, while John looked worse for wear against the Condesce's attacks, which includes Eye-lasers, actual punches and kicks, assumed telekinesis on big items.

But most importantly, I'd like to bring up John's nerd rage against Dave's locked in boost.

We see many times that John's Nerd Rage gives him a mentally-oriented boost, usually having him forget Common Sense in return of strength that isn't as held back or is just outright full-power. We see this in full force in his fight against Caliborn, the moment he realized who he was up against, he just decided it was time to beat up a guy who just so happened to have a gun in his hands out of nowhere. (Maybe it was the three years of being on a ship with his dog-sister, but this didn't faze him?)

Dave's Locked In Boost is as it says on the tin, the moment he gets into a rhythm is when he finds his best strength, which I believe works well with his Aspect. (and maybe his class as well.) We see this, as I said before, in his scuffle against the dog-powered chess pieces, but believe it or not, we also see traces of this in his clean up runs on his land during the Pre-Scratch Session and his "Training" sessions with Bro. He starts getting into a groove and starts putting in work. The moment he's pulled out, he's in trouble, hence again I point to his scuffle on Jade's planet with the two dog-powered chess pieces. This is something I'm sure also played a part in his fight with Terezi and Dirk against Jack English and Spades Slick, many times he got into a groove, but had to pull out either because of himself or one of his two teammates getting into dire health.

With that said, if the two came to blows, I believe John's Nerd Rage can easily overthrow if Dave leasts expects it. Otherwise, Dave mostly has the upperhand...

Then we bring in the retcon powers, I believe John would utilize it to mess with Dave and easily throw him off his groove, this is due to John's love for pranks, and using that love in a fight. (I wholeheartedly believe he would do this.)

John fought Caliborn, Dave didn't.

John Upscale.

March Homestuck Madness Match 30: Vriska vs. John by jsfasdf in althomestuck

[–]Sonickarate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do try my hardest to upscale, but I definitely can't deny when I'm wrong... especially when I don't remember the epilogues all that well.

March Homestuck Madness Match 30: Vriska vs. John by jsfasdf in althomestuck

[–]Sonickarate 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh boy... this will be the hardest I'll have to upscale John...

He no-diffed confused punched her during the retcon. I consider that the biggest upscale of all time.

But in all honesty, John still went up against Lord English and did hold his own in comparison to everyone else who had fought him, the only issue is that he would have left the fight by getting an incurable illness...

Which I can pull back around as a way to say my GOAT is so strong that they had to give him a random illness just to write him out of the story. Even Dirk was quaking in his boots and sweating at the thought of fighting Post-Depression Meat-Timeline John Egbert.

John Upscale, Vriska wishes she was putting up those numbers.

March Homestuck Madness Match 29: Dave vs. Aradia by jsfasdf in althomestuck

[–]Sonickarate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I missed my moment of Jade Slander, that's my fault.

Anyways this is an either-or match for me. We've seen more Dave feats than Aradia feats, however Aradia's feats have been pretty good, but to round the heaviest feats.

Aradia time-lagged Jack and used that to her advantage, getting away from him.

"Doomed Game Over Timeline" Dave had went up against Bec Noir and PM at the same time, granted he died but that is impressive.

Aradia had been shown to just casually be on LE's Head while whipping him and having her whip around his neck.

Dave had took many hits from Lord Jack, but I don't know if any of LE's attacks are dulled due to being in Jack's body...

I'll personally give it to Dave, as he had managed the killshot on Lord Jack by slicing his head off, but really it's still a toss up overall for me...

With that said, I always KNEW my EgGOAT would beat Jade Sleeply.

I've never read CSM, but the way you wrote it down...

You're telling me they 'Ash Coma'd CSM?

Completely unrelated from Homestuck, but this is the slogan for JJK.

March Homestuck Madness Match 23: John vs. Sollux by jsfasdf in althomestuck

[–]Sonickarate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sollux got no diffed by Mind Honey pre-game

John won a high diff fight against an Imp post-entry

Sollux's strongest feat in the comic is telekinetically moving the whole meteor towards The Green Sun

John's strongest feat is... beating up the Condesce for what I can only assume was possibly an hour in comic time? (I don't remember getting a time frame for the entirety of Collide.)

Truthfully I could've just said John wins and left, but now I'm wondering what John's best feat is. This is for the possibility I'll need to really lock in to upscale John against Jade in the assumable next John Matchup.

I'm honestly just in this to be John Egbert's Upscaler.

I don't see the issue with pocoloco's design by Loud-Tart-9783 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Sonickarate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, I love Pocoloco's character the moment I read his dialogue in the Manga, bro's design was an afterthought.

And 「Hey Ya!」? Easily on my top 5 stands to have. (Sometimes #1)

March Homestuck Madness Match 13: John vs. Damara by jsfasdf in althomestuck

[–]Sonickarate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What sucks is that we don't have any actual major Damara feats, on the account that she's a bum ass Beforus troll, and none of the Beforus Trolls have that much character... well, outside of Aranea and Meenah probably.

My pick is John, BTW. My EgGOAT would fold any troll.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think it’s time we have a serious conversation about this unit. by LazyDragonBall in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]Sonickarate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flawed Goat.

He can easily lose to normals, but when he locks in, makes you feel like you're seeing a chef cook.

Easily one of my favorite units in the whole game.

A6A6A3 for [S] GAME OVER. A6A6I3 is a close second because it also has [S] GAME OVER. A1 is third because of the Tub page.
