[2017/07/24 - The Cavalry Arrives]
Title Text: but we did the POSE

Don't get so cocky, Res, only an idiot loses to the first boss.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to delete some save files for...space.

Now I'm curious of what happened in that fight.

Okay... That was cool.

O_O
That's awesome!
Res' collar probably popped off when he turned. Unfortunately Grape wasn't there to see it.

Strider Max and Strider Grape have arrived.

Welp, Res is gonna need a new collar.

Iceheart · Post by **Iceheart** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 12:19 am

So not only is Res a tank. He's a DPS tank. Which would be more relaible in small group raid like this. Larger groups would require damage sponge tanks but DPS tanks are important.

Am I missing a reference here? Isn't the word usually "cavalry"?

Dropping down the Rabbit hole;
Ninja cats are on the scene!
Moving fast and stealthy, silent and sift,
they’re the best they’ve ever been!
Down they come to save their friend
from the monster’s mighty blow.
They’re primed and ready, fit nd steady
and going to lay down the... oh.
Rez reclines without his hat
on the downed purple creature
Happy and smooth, nothing to prove,
declaring himself ‘happy to meetcha’.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 12:47 am

Well Res' powers sure made quick work of that. To bad we now have to wait to see the ninja cats in action.

To be honest, I want to see the nerds. With active magic AND Phazer.

Dangit, I wanted to see that fight! XP

Though I'll admit, ninja Max and ninja Grape are totally awesome.

I like that Sonic reference in the first panel. I was confused at first when the purple ball had a black tail. Max wears those purple pants pretty well.

Also, with each appearance of Res in this comic I just love him more and more like oh my gosh this last panel is just aaghh-

John-056 · Post by **John-056** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 1:43 am

I think everyone missed it, but I think Res is already in Weretiger Mode. He looks more Buff now, and his collar disappearing is obvious.

Common MAE misspelling of cavalry. It's how Americans pronounce cavalry. We put the "l" on the first syllable instead of the second.

I really like Grape and Max's ninja outfits!

^This all the way

They're sleek, flashy, and totally useless as actual stealth outfits! That's what makes them awesome!

And the fact that max wears purple and grape wears lightish brown >->

Well, this pretty much reveals they have to actually go Beyond the Entrance to actually have their attire activate. This actually makes me a bit Hyped for Peanut's reveal... And Hope that he's Not 'Spot the OP'd Hero Who Suddenly has Healing Powers'.

Once was enough. I hope his Brain actually has a Good Healing Class in Mind that's not an OP'd Super Hero. Seriously, Superman is Weak to Magic as well as Kryptonite. Spot seems to be a fusion of DC Captain Marvel and Superman fused with a Dog. That's crazy OP'd, since they'd need that stupid grey rock to actually knock him down, due to lacking the Magic Vulnerability.

Oh yeah weretiger, right

But I must say I also like the new outfits. It really suits them

MrBlueSky7 · Post by **MrBlueSky7** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 6:38 am

For a WereTiger, Res' new form is pretty subtle. I was expecting him to be a bit... Bigger and maybe Buffer than that.

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 6:42 am

Yeah, Calvary is a location, Cavalry is a group of soldiers.

Calvary (literally "place of the skull) is the hill on which Jesus was crucified. By extension "a calvary" means "any experience involving great suffering" (in quotes because it's from Collins English Dictionary)

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 8:22 am

Really digging the first panel wheel flip with tails. Now i wanna see them do that up a wall

Meh, just a typical were-tiger-vs-people-eater knock-down drag-out extravaganza. I'm sure you've seen one before.

So. Anyway. Grape doesn't get eaten after all. Good job. And Res does look like like a tabby Hunk-Ptah.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvary

Calvary, also Gagulta (Aramaic: ܓܓܘܠܬܐ‎‎), was, according to the Gospels, a site immediately outside Jerusalem's walls where Jesus was said to have been crucified.[1] Golgotha(s) (Greek: Γολγοθᾶς) is the Greek transcription in the New Testament of the Aramaic term Gagultâ. The Bible translates the term to mean place of [the] skull, which in Greek is Κρανίου Τόπος (Kraníou Tópos), and in Latin is Calvariæ Locus, from which the English word Calvary is derived.

Also a common typo for "cavalry" in the US because of heavy baptist/protestant influence in the South.

Res is awesome here. He certainly got over his shyness pretty quick!

You know i am super curious what peanut will choose as a hat.... Buuut if i am gonna hazard a guess well.... anyone else thinking "Spot the superdog"?

I am thinking the more likely reason for the altered spelling is because of the american southern accent causing it to sound phonetically like the former. So when people think to sound out a word and have that accent.

It sure is comforting to know I can make a typo and it generates as much discussion or more than the comic itself

Common MAE misspelling of cavalry. It's how Americans pronounce cavalry. We put the "l" on the first syllable instead of the second.

I thought it was one of those regional variant things, like Americans dropping "U"s from a lot of words or Canadians often using the French spelling of a word.

Wow! Ninja versions of Max and Grape look so cool!

Eheh, you arrived too much late, though.

I knew Res' were-tiger powers helped him to defeat the monster.

A speech of Peanut was enough.

Yeah, Res looks more buff, and not only... Put your hands ahead Grape's eyes, Max!

Finally, yes, you two did the pose, but Res is posing too.

WANT TO SEE PEANUT AS A MEDIC.

Maybe he can do the St Bernard thing.

Heavy Medic team with res?

Post by **CyberDragon** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 3:30 pm

If I am being veracious, I would love to see a sort of Heavy/Medic team up with Peanut and Res.

Sorry. Studying for the GRE. Veracious means honest.
