There’s so many aspects to this battle that make it so much more fucked up. The flavor text, oh god, the flavor text. Normally it’s something like “smells like mustard seed” or “the spiders do a choreographed dance.” For this fight? “The boogiemen stand at the edge.” “The boogiemen prepare their next team attack.” “Harry tries to distract me while Larry looks for an escape route.” “Harry and Larry call to someone ‘behind me.’ I’m not falling for it.” “Smells like fear.” “Like two animals backed into a corner.” “Harry and Larry share desperate looks.”

[@Watwortex]

The chilling part of this is that it feels eerily real. The way you have to hunt down the victims, compared to set encounters. The solution of PUSHING Larry off instead of the fade-to-dust violence we're used to. The way Harry just falls silent. I remember the realization I had that "I KILLED them."

A comment i read once made a very good point about these 2. In Geno, they stay the same cartoon characters, and this is what gets them killed. Their inherently jokey nature like getting stuck needing to move the piano and forgetting their phone? It all leads to their death. They are comedy characters in a horror movie, and that sealed their fate.

[@Doge-rv3vd]

I love how the game handled the Sans fight. I died a ton so I don't know how many people know this, but his dialogue for his first phase actually changes every time you get past it: First go through: he pulls in the classic fan-theory of him being a universe-hopper, complete with gaster references... and then reveals it was all pulled from a comic, and he was just buying time. A very clever way of subverting and playing on fan-theories, very enjoyable. He even says later that it's possible some of it was true, and you'll drive yourself crazy trying to figure it out. Second run: He spins a story of how he's from a planet of Sans-es where all the do is tell jokes and do stand-up, right up until a group of people came in and started analyzing him and the others. Poring over everything he does and says, trying to find meaning in every joke, trying to find what hidden motives he has, while completely ignoring what he's actually trying to tell them. A very nice reference to the people who act like the game revolves around Sans while completely misinterpreting his actions in most of the game. Third run onwards: he drops the act completely when he sees it isn't working and asks why you're still trying to beat him if you know he's just buying time, and concludes that the only reason why you'd still be here is because you want to know what happens when you beat the really hard Sans fight. A cool reference to the sheer number of bullshit Sans fights and how the player must just be still going out of stubbornness, which doubles as going back to how he acts in the original game. Sorry if this was a long one, but I just played through it and I love this entire game so much. It and UTY have earned a huge place in my heart. I need to rant about it somewhere

I think a big reason is because of how the game paints it... you can avoid chasing them at the start and just go to the village, are given multiple options to turn back around once you corner them, and during the fight, they are already and completely separable..... I don't think there could have been nay more opportunities added in that can allow you to turn back and let them live... if this silly, ultimately harmless duo dies, it's because YOU killed them... and you can't even blame button mashing or being mindless, because killing them requires you to go into your act command.

[@MirroredWinter]

thanks for putting this into motion and diving deeper into this it really shows how much people can change circumstances. and how your choices do have a play in something MUCH more as they do matter of course. these two are fighting for their lifes and a way to get out of this and they are thinking of things they can do to escape and you can even spare them YOU don't have to kill them and they never wanted this to happen however it just makes things very dark. and that changes the mood alot rather than sans or papyrus fighting you cause you killed someone they loved. being filled by grief. also you should touch fighting paula and ness in deltatraveler i'd like to see your opinion on the matter, this is all i have to say on the matter however good job touching on this.

Honestly, i like the fact that the evacuation neutral route exists, it makes the game feel more alive, rather than making it so that everybody magically forgets what you did the moment that the geno run is aborted/everybody doesnt care if you grind until you get "but nobody came" even through you never started the geno run previously (yes ts!us has a evacuation neutral run variant started by going geno mode on the second area after doing the neutral/pacifist route on the first area.)

[@dylanzlol7293]

Btw, i feel like the ness and paula fight hits harder if you've played earthbound before. Like, you'd think that the battle would hit harder for a person that used to earthbound back when it first released than it would for somebody who hasnt.

[@xxsunandnightxx3800]

a friend of mine was able to make it even worse by thinking of this idea, basically if you push larry off the cliff and see harry destroyed because he saw his friend die AND SPARE HIM (which in ts!underswap you can't do after you push larry) harry will jump off the cliff because you didn't finish him off

[@inciniumz4671]

Undertale Yellow kinda does something similar with Axis, but it's not as poignant for a few reasons. Axis, while still giving EXP, is just a robot. Plus, he's kind of hard to care about when he normally spends the whole time trying to kill you without getting a moment to actually get to know him or see his good side. Him acting in self defense is quite new, but TS!Underswap did this a lot better, because the characters are likeable, living and killing them feels less deserved while being more messed up. Axis killed a kid, granted a violent kid, but these guys are just rather harmless crooks. You shove one of them off a cliff, causing the other to just...give up.

[@cantmakeacreativename2072]

I mean, in Axis’s defense, he had done it accidentally in a way that was not supposed to happen. Hell, if it was blocked from his memory banks that means it likely traumatized him. (Ik he’s a robot but he’s definitely advanced enough to have some level of consciousness.)

[@khaosinkorporated9493]

[SPOILERS AHEAD] Thank you for making a video about this. Genocide routes in fangames have been getting way better I’ve noticed. TS!Underswap’s is easily the best, though. Not only does it have more unique fights than most genocide routes, it does it in a way that doesn’t feel over-saturated. All of those fun mini games in the Village? All of the hilarious moments and references in Koffin Keep? The entirety of the Burgerpant storyline? All of these things that gave the game so much life and made them so fun. They’re all completely gone in this route, and the game makes sure you KNOW that it’s all your fault. And yet it feels like it never goes overboard with it. As fun as Deltatraveler is, I definitely feel like the Geno route goes a biiiiiit really overboard by section 3. Oh my gosh especially cancelling the route during section 3 what is the logic what is the dialogue??? Undertale Yellow’s genocide route did have some sad parts, like the deaths of Dalv, Lone Star, Martlet, and the entirety of the Steamworks. Honestly, though? I felt it was way less sad and more…kind of awesome? Not just the fights but the story of Clover trying to get revenge on monsterkind for the death of the humans does feel shockingly realistic. TS!Underswap makes sure all of the life and personality and all the fun is sucked from the world on this route. And to complete it, you have to do this entire fight that you just talked about…scratch that, it barely qualifies as a fight, it’s just an execution. I don’t even know how TS will top this scene in the Ruthless Route, and honestly, they might not need to at this rate. I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty sure I shed a tear when I first saw this scene. That’s how you KNOW you’ve made a good “evil route” in a video game.

[@basedguy.4229]

Hey,thanks for this comment,you made it alot easier to make my future geno analysis videos of those games,I do think deltatraveler goes a bit too far with the geno route meanwhile Yellow,despite having an absolutely great one does it pretty wrong by making it an actually fun route to go through,which it shouldnt be,its like the game is rewarding you for it. Ts underswap's geno meanwhile does it better than them for the reasons you listed,I cant wait for it to continue!

[@ohmeohmicah]

"Their only choice is to confront you" is literally Sans's motivation to fight you, both in the actual game _and_ in most to all of its AUs. And I'd argue his fight is even worse because, given the look in your eyes, he _knows_ he's going to die anyways. He knows he can't win, he knows everyone else has died, he knows he's facing the one who murdered them all and even his own brother. Yet he still stood there, talking his shit and trying his hardest to make you quit, even trying to get you to empathize with his situation.

This isn’t as messed up as you think it is, it just FEELS like it because you do it to significant characters. I’d say the various betrayal kills in base UT (even with the normal monsters) are more tragic and messed up. Imagine it, you’re just some random snowdrake going about your day when you encounter this human. You’re a bit hostile bcuz of the “only needing one soul before monster kind is free” thing, but then they start trying to befriend you, genuinely trying. You eventually think “hey, this human doesn’t seem so bad, lets NOT fight and be friends instead”, you stop fighting and think to yourself how nice it is that you’ve gotten yourself a new friend, a genuine friend who laughs at your bad jokes and enjoys your company. Then they stab you, inflicting fatal damage. As you start slowly turning into dust, you stare at them and just think “why? They were supposed to be your friend, why would they do this?”, they just stare back, looking at you with their cold, unfeeling eyes. You never get an answer, leaving you confused as the remaining life left in you is slowly snuffed out.

Yeah it’d make more sense for harry to just jump off the cliff. He just witnessed his best friend die in front of him. Plus, it’d add more emotional weight to the fight and not recycle overused things put in a ut fangame

[@BabanDlh]

We really are starting to finally get good fangames like ts!underswap, undertale yellow etc

[@koffi3472]

Real popple and rookie vibes

[@fkikooficial]

In heaven Larry: so how'd you two get in here Undershuffle Sans: prob the same way as you Undertoad Luigi: yep

[@AmberTheSeal]

Wing Gaster: I'm Wing Ga-

[@ziglars4797]

harry, watching his best friend die: chara: Ah! Refreshing! Restored 6 HP.

[@cat.2260]

One key thing to note here, which alot of fangames do which is just an exhausting trope at this point, is that Harry doesnt fight back after you push Larry. He doesnt go all beast-mode angry and powered-up, he just sits there and accepts his fate. He hopes you'll just make it quick, he doesnt even wanna look at you when you end him. ALSO WHY WAS LARRY'S FALL SO SMOOTH AND WELL-ANIMATED OUT OF THE BLUE?? 4:31 The freeze frame when he's looking up for 5 frames before falling down looks so unnerving

[@BrightOvidio27]

As someone said in a comment, pushing Larry off to his death sucked the will to live out of Harry

[@banana-lover]

bro imagine if they make it so that larry didn't die, but also doesn't know that harry died and they only know in the future area because of crossbones. that'll be even more depressing

[@dylanzlol7293]

Ah, this fight, a very well-made fight made to make you feel so evil and truly villainous! Seriously, the fact that you have the option to back out of it even before the fight itself begins... the small surprise you get when you see the option to push larry... and of course, the events after larry's death. You won, you've got harry right under your fang, ready to be taken down like everyone else! Truly, a masterfully-crafted fight, i really hope we get more entertaining fights like this later on!

[@conquestanddeath4406]

There’s actually a lot of implications Larry survived the fall. Apparently I heard the battle only adds 1 to your kill count. That and the fact we don’t hear Larry hit the ground or dust means he might actually show up in the future.

[@Mairiii70]

I believe they updated it so that the kill count does go up.

[@epicboi7743]

bro imagine if you could push harry off, then larry sees that and goes last breath sans phase 99999999999999999999999 on you and dunks you so hard, that would truly be swapped.

[@pyrielt]

I like how one of the reasons this can hardly be topped is because other fangames have no originality, harshly put

[@calicobunny]

literally one of things that stayed with me the most

[@Arch621]

i was the 1000th like :D but oh my god the battle is f'd up

[@andro_pheonix5593]

This is so true. In the entirety of undertale and its fangames, everytime i did a genocide route, i just felt nothing. Heck i felt more accomplished than anything which is NOT what undertale wanted AT ALL! I didnt feel a single sense of remorse or responsibility, i didnt feel bad... But this one fight. This ONE SINGLE FIGHT, had done it, for once in undertale... I felt... remorse. Real, actual, remorse. All because of this one single fight.

[@gg.420]

That why TS!Underswap its the best fangame, its peak even it isn't full fangame.

[@Bacon._.]

that was emotional...

[@Swiss-cheese-was-taken.]

The worst part about this fight for me is I went in completely blind, like I know the fight existed but I had no idea what the end result was. I just thought you just killed them and moved on heck I didn’t even know that you had a choice to kill them or not. I remember being stuck at that fight for like 20 minutes or something just being like, what do I do? Then eventually I went into the act menu and saw it. The option to push Larry. I remember actually freezing up before doing it to, I was just in complete shock.

[@DiabloOfGod]

very cool, i liked that

[@SnowPeaplays]

Harry just, gives up, loses all hope, he can’t do anything

[@exar5262]

god. i usually don't feel too emotional about fictional characters or fiction in general; i don't cry much at movies and all that, but this fight honestly got me. fucking congratulations to team switched, they did a spectacular job with this. and the whole game in general.

[@monke6075]

3:10 HEY! Strong guy doing strong fight is cool ok?

[@santiagosime]

This makes me scared about future updates.

[@sansbutharder]

As an insane person this made me smile

[@sona_the_persona]

"I'm Larry Boogieman! The villian's henchman!"

[@tempest6027]

i think there are some more messed up fights in like, deltatraveler maybe... that game has some weird lisa shit going on with its geno route i'm sure at least one fight in some game is more messed up than this 3:41 also was that a minecraft cave noise being sampled there

[@themostamericankenjaku]

If you are talking about mercilessly killing 2 children , then yeah

[@user-mw3yg7bv5i]

Wait, the Boogiemen didn't use their flying hats. Edit: 3:11 LIT

[@haWarhammearhermanos]

03:17 I mean, the concept of those fights was fine... But the fandom have squeez it and dried like a freacking lemon, and it doesn't help the fact that is always sans. Like, come on, there are other characters that can recall your hability ti come from the death

[@mastermewtwo5503]

The only character that can actually see Frisk's resets (canonically) is Flowey, since he used to have that power (arguably Chara at the end of Genocide too, but they're basically just the player). Sans has godly observation powers, anyone else just gets deja vu. Though even Flowey wouldn't remember with Chara wiping and restoring the world at the end (either due to dying before that and/or being a more extreme version of a reset).

[@WalesCountryBall_69]

Bro imagine how fucked up it would be if you can spare Harry

[@SourWine789]

Yes i would like to order a few more plates of Ts Underswap trauma please, thank you

[@Mr-Idk-what-ID-should-I-pick]

Deltatraveler genoside also have some messed up concept,which I felt Way more f##ked up in this scene,but it still great tho

[@lucylu3342]

"This is one of the most unsettling battles in ALL of gaming" okay that's a bit much lol, I wouldn't say it's the most unsettling battle in all of gaming. Even Earthbound has more unsettling battles where you have to play as one of your party members getting their limbs torn off and senses taken

[@v1x4570]

I hope deltarune does something like this in snowgrave

[@kol9lh314]

what about burghley?

[@uncroppedsoop]

​@@kol9lh314 also fucked up but quite distinct from this

[@ooglegogle2719]

I Want Larry In Deltarune #Larry

[@user-rt9lk8bp3c]

The bad part is he didn’t want you to spare him anymore

[@nobody..--.]

0:18 I TURNED MY VOLUME UP CAUSE I THOUGHT THE AUDIO WAS MESSED UP THEN OW

[@KNKoc]

These guys pissed me so much during Pacifist. My reaction when I pushed Larry was like "YEEEEES!" but then it's was instant "OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE"

[@kingdedede3547]

The original dust tale and last breath do there concepts well but besides that yeah

[@theeffortfighter]

what's the theme that plays when you're talking about sans?

[@aperson6637]

This was my 2nd favourite fight

[@KiraJ-ru7ll]

I expected something more from Harry after pushing Larry

[@maxlam-lc7ig]

Ye I can imagine that..omg I can’t 😭

[@gemraldkid6304]

Huh. Looks like a game worth trying.

[@Antipf_]

now i have to play tsunderswap

[@BrightOvidio27]

Someone probably mentioned this already, but on Frau's video of the boogiemen's ruthless route fight, I saw a comment talking about hypothetically sparing Harry after killing Larry. Someone replied saying there's a comic about that outcome, so I looked it up. The comic (in case you don't wanna find it or just wanna know what happens in it right here) has Harry grabbing Chara and yelling something along the lines of "WHY STOP AT HIM?! WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE THAT?! WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART?!" then he yells that maybe Chara should join Larry, and then... Well, Chara pushes Harry off the cliff because Harry was gonna throw Chara off the cliff. The last page of the comic shows Harry turning to dust and laying next to Larry's hat, ending the fight the same way it does in the game, only Harry gets pushed off the cliff after Chara tried sparing him. In a nutshell, the comic is kinda Harry going "beast mode" and trying to throw Chara off the cliff, but he fails and gets killed the same way his best friend was.

[@rarawinrar]

I learnt a new thing. Based doesnt have emotions

[@user-wc7dh4vl3r]

Btw, the trio of them (I think) are cereal brands.

[@FoolishEvan]

Endless Ocean is a more fucked up example even though its a kids game to help them learn about the ocean on the WII

[@rqj5502]

What's the soundtrack you put over the harry and larry fight?

[@basedguy.4229]

Monster bash
