DISBELIEF HARDMODE (Disbelief Papyrus Hardmode) [Undertale]

I've stolen the first reply.

[@jnthn.s07]

Ok

[@chrisonewiththesalt]

My only real criticism is how largely unchanged-(and a little low quality due to the intro being worsely-paced and the only real difference being the sped-up music and final assault)-highlights the glaring difference in quality compared to everything else.

[@BigBear60]

Thanks mate

[@СаняПлейз]

Also, he writes "Undertale by Toby Fox" because of without Undertale there is no fan games (and animations), respect to this dude 😊

[@papapdude7595]

The soul movement is very "game" like. Like it's an actual person playing the game, usually in these kind of animations, the soul can either be too fast or too slow. Nailed it.

[@charlioanimations]

Yeah i was like "Is this an animation or a game?" I was very surprised to see this is an animation because the movement it's so natural.

[@user-gt5fy5ow4i]

Finally! A story that isn't just "papyrus full power" or "gaster makes him powerful because". The intro to the fight is just papyrus, he's been hurt and filled with anger, but he's still papyrus, and dealing with his feelings in a papyrus way. That's something I can really appreciate.

[@robloxplayer877]

[@theduke3778]

I like how when papyrus creates Sans, it’s not actually Sans, but what Papyrus THINKS sans in: Lazy, cracks jokes, doesn’t take things seriously, and isn’t that powerful. That’s why Undyne is so absurd because he views HER as powerful.

[@Domminopickle]

I agree

[@alpha_rexX]

I never thought of it that way Ive never played disbelief papyrus myself but ive seen videos on it And I did notice that the two just seemed off Undyne was too over the top and sans barely put anything in

[@Halberds8122]

Didn't he see sans fight?

[@aerodynamo4874]

I also liked the subtle cue that Sans wasn't real. On average, Papyrus' projection of Sans didn't have his pupils. Clear indication of lack of soul.

[@dummyplayinggames]

I really like how papyrus isnt a naive manchild herelike in most fan animations, and there is so much creativity! Especially that prolouge part, I really lved how without many words, it howed how he was feeling. This animation was fire!

[@ihavenoidea1304]

THIS IS HOW YOU DO HARD MODE! I can see some smart patterns that are more difficult than og ones. And not just random spaming of. More bs than you can see on screen. Great job my friend

[@Nickyboy5O38]

Having Papyrus actually act in character and the attack patters being react-able and fair is amazing and a testament to the quality of your work. You are an epic gamer!

[@T0B3573R]

I love the hidden detail of Sans’s eye glows yellow and cyan, representing Justice, (Sans judges you, and gives you karma if you’ve slaughtered every monster you’ve come across,) and Patience, because he waited till the very end to learn as much as possible about you, and when it’s the right time to strike. Papyrus eye follows that logic, instead glowing orange and green, representing Bravery, because he is not letting his emotions completely cloud his judgement the entirety of the battle, giving you multiple opportunities to make things right, even at the danger of himself. And fighting you despite knowing that you’ll probably win. That, and Kindness. Because he’s still trying to show you trust and communication, hoping that he can still bring out any lingering goodness within your soul. Mirroring Sans, and giving you a different feeling of punishment. Sans makes you feel bad because you doubt your abilities, but he doesn’t care if you feel guilty anymore because it doesn’t matter. You are inexcusable. The only way to rectify your actions is through resetting and letting go of your Determination. Papyrus on the other hand makes you feel bad because he’s saying that you shouldn’t do this. That he’s protecting you from yourself. He knows you’re going to lose your soul, and that he can’t let you pass.

[@AstaStaria-li1pe]

I think someone needs to do an asgore one, as undyne the undying doesn’t even come close to him, but asgore never tries no matter what

As someone who has waited for something like this for about 2-4 years i am very happy that the final attack in phase 5 is exactly how i envisioned it to be. This video is going into my classic videos playlist for me to remember forever.

[@sansthefunnyskeleton8606]

i think this version is better than dem's. not because of the animation, but because although dem's is slightly more animated, your concept allows papyrus to stick to his morals while increasing the difficulty, and perfectly uses the 5 stages of grief in it.

[@CrashMan6547]

Plus, it’s the full ass fight, not locked behind stupid subscriber goals, compared to Dem’s version.

[@lori9245]

GUYS! before papyrus's bone breaks at the end of phase one, THE FLAVOUR TEXT SAYS DENIAL, the first stage of grief is denial! which means... phase 1: denial phase 2: anger phase 3: depression/bargaining phase 4: bargaining phase 5: acceptance these are the stages of grief as papyrus greaves over the loss of his friends, phase 3 is depression because paprus misses his friends so much, that he uses his power to summon apparitions of sans and undyne, who were his only real friends. in other words, depression. edit: zerokay i need you to confirm if this theory is correct or not

[@Thirdlittlemariobrother]

phase 3 could count as bargaining too, as he imagined this is what everyone wants and maybe even distracting himself from remembering they all died

[@ileonardoi3791]

Halfway through and I already wanna comment! The way you coordinated the patterns with the music was superb and I love the details like the bigger emphasis on orange attacks that distinguish Papyrus from Sans, the fact he still NEEDS to block in Phase 2 and how he limited himself from killing Frisk like hoe Asgore does when leaving you at 1 HP. The "out of the box" patterns are amazing too, kinda felt some Jevil vibes there and the way the blasts concealed the appearance of the crossed bones was cool as fuck. The dialogue could be better, but it gets the gist of what I think Papyrus character would be like if FORCED to act into the role of your final obstacle.

Actually peak, I love how phase 1’s last attack was incorporated and the dialogue that follows immediately after feels just right.

[@Orangutanus]

The only thing that im mad about in this is that Papyrus's glowing eye is far lighter, almost yellow, not his iconic Orange-Red (to be fair, original Disbelief had that problem too)

[@JustyourAverageGamer280]

This animation was so good I thought it was an actual game.

[@blobtuna236]

This might be a bit spontaneous but I just want to say that Phase 2 was just so fucking well done. All of the phases were, but that one in particular was just something else. It's consistently fast-paced, carries the helpless/vengeful tone all the way through, is full of attacks that come off as both challenging yet balanced (as it should be for a hard mode), and uses one of the best fan-made tracks I've ever heard from an Undertale AU (Seriously, Blind Heart's Rage goes so unbelievably hard and makes such amazing use of the relevant leitmotifs that I could spend an entire comment alone gushing about it). I've come back to this video like ten times just for this segment alone. It's an absolutely adrenaline-fueled four minutes perfectly conveying Papyrus' desperation and helplessness manifested into a blind rage. I've said it before but this is undoubtedly one of the best animations on the platform right now. Good stuff man.

[@francescacastronovo647]

I love how how Papyrus doesn't even have Karma Actually, I always thought that it wasn't really in caratcher for him to have an orange glowing eye, after all, orange stands for bravery, wich has nothing to do with papyrus in particular While Sans's eye glows cyan and yellow because: Cyan stands for Patience, after all, he waits till the end, pretending to be just a lazy silly guy, without attacking you unless is really all that necessary While yellow stands for *juandice* wich is substance commonly found in moss after eating it

[@dummyplayinggames]

Papyrus is very brave, he understands that you have killed several ppl in the genocides runs, but he still tries to help you, that's why his er glows orange in phase 1. In phase 2 his eye glows yellow because he now understands that there is no fixing the human and goes full on sicko mode to serve them justice, an in phase 3 it glows yellow and blue because it's showing that papyrus has patience too.

[@undertaledude378]

I never thought color had anything to do with it, I honestly thought it would make sense for Papyrus to have a glowing eye if Sans did. It's just we never really had a reason to see it in the original game. Heck, he might not even know he has it.
