Because there are a number of Homestuck flashes, not all of them will get the same treatment. Some are great, some are "eh", and some are underrated. Let's talk about the underrated ones. I haven't heard anyone talk about [S] END OF ACT 6 INTERMISSION 1 that much. Infinity Mechanism is probably the best part about this flash, but what makes it better is how it works its way into the flash. While pretty much all of the flashes are synchronized with the music, this one really pushes what the flash is trying to do. While the beat of the first half emphasizes the flash's foreshadowing, it's really the second half of the flash that uses the music the best. The calm, drowned out beat manages to get me to feel this sense of awe when Jane looks out her tower, which is then followed by a 3D view of Prospit (the word). I don't really know how to explain it, but that 3D Prospit goes really well with the flash and the music. This flash is probably one of my favorites. |

Great flashes that no one ever talks about? I'd have to go with [S] ACT 6 ACT 6 INTERMISSION 1. I mean, it get's cut short by "glitching," but before that (and even durring the glitching really) it shows remarkable use of breaking panel boundaries, something that never really gets used to its fullest potential since. It's also the last really professional flash done in Hussie's style. |

In my opinion, Descend, while not underrated in any sense of the word, is often overshadowed by Cascade. personally, though, I feel that it's a lot more "Homestuck-y" than Cascade, or at least the Homestuck I loved.

Mental Breakdown is one of my personal favourites. A maybe more underrated one is Jade Strife in Act 5. Similar to Jade Pester John, another one might be Roxy Sleepwalk. And any flash in A6A3 I feel is overlooked (other than EOA6A3, obviously), in my personal opinion my favourite act. Also end of A6I5 might have been overlooked a little, but probably not.
Another stranger one is Caliborn + Gamzee: Engage. I always found that one particularly eerie, even though not much happens. As are any of the Scratch clock pages.

The Flash Banner at the top of the Trickster pages isn't appreciated enough in my opinion.

Since the ones I like have already been mentioned, I would have say say Jack: Ascend, because of how much goes on in it, and I also kind of like the music.
DD: Ascend more casually is also a good one on the humourous side - I like how they made what was going on in the flash match the lyrics of the song X)

Obviously the most underrated flash is Cascade. kappa.

while [S] GAME OVER. is in no way underrated, i still stand (and always will) by the opinion that it is the best flash page in entirety of homestuck up to date. it took maximum advantage of webcomic medium by using out-of-panels action and changing site themes, and turned entire flow of the story on its head in less than five minutes, not to mention carne vale which is the top tier song. such a shame that it all went to waste. honestly, if homestuck had a downing ending with john, roxy, terezi and dirk finishing the session as sole survivors, then i'd have zero problems with that |
