[@v_oid6471]

i mean it's sans. even without KR, s should be pretty minimal, since sans does have 1 AT and without KR or critically short s he would be a huge pushover.

[@v_oid6471]

difficulty settings would be amazing tho

[@YetJustAnotherSkeleton]

Yeah, even if the attacks stay exactly the same, having an easy mode that just adds like 1-2 more iFrames would make this game really easy for anyone to get into. Don't make it so that it's a cakewalk, because a game like this is definitely supposed to be souls-like in a way when it comes to difficulty, but make it so that it's a little easier for some people

Sans and Flowey have always had a cool dynamic from the little we see of it in Undertale so it's really nice seeing a high quality AU expand on it. Can't wait to see this hopefully get finished as I really like the story and visuals.

[@Boonetube27]

I didn't realize when I suggested this that it was so difficult, sorry about that... I do think they should NERF that fight since that is so difficult, and it's so long... (maybe a checkpoint) While this game is difficult, it shouldn't be THIS difficult, it should give you a checkpoint or something, it looks like a lot to just have to remember and then attempt... Like I said before, you are so close... But this is really difficult, and I don't think anyone would mind if you took a break from it, I'd hate to be the person that causes you to dislike Undertale games from burnout.

Ok but can we talk about that dodge at 16:14. That was amazing.

[@M0ts_]

i have a theory about this mod. I think that the reason Flowey keeps on talking about Frisk’s determination being drained is the reason the player doesn’t play as Frisk, but instead a new character. this would also fit in with the fact of time not moving, which would reveal that in undertale, or at least this universe, humans can lose their determination.

[@Treesinthesummer]

Now I wonder, can a human switch their soul? Like a human with a DETERMINATION soul can switch to a BRAVERY SOUL

[@M0ts_]

@@Treesinthesummer i would say that souls probably could not swap, just because determination seems more powerful than any other soul trait, multible times in undertale we see experiments gone wrong, most of the time becuase of determination, but it would seem possible if there were 2 humans willing to switch their souls quick enough.

[@darkmatter9651]

I've said this three times now, and i'll say it again. I hope you see it this time. Hey Merg, I've seen you playing Roblox games, and I have a Undertale Roblox Game suggestion for you: Undertale Last Corridor. The models are great, some better than others; The gameplay and mechanics are great; And they have alot of characters from AU's, and obviously Classic Sans; And Dustbelief is in the game, too! So you can have PTSD while playing it! (Especially because Dustbelief is possibly the strongest character in the game-) And some characters, such as Waterfall Dust Sans; Dustbelief; and Classic Sans have box attacks like in Undertale where you genuinely play Undertale with the SOUL, dodging attacks. Only thing is, you control the SOUL with WASD. And also you press W to jump if your SOUL is blue. And it even has a Singleplayer! Where you can fight Sans bosses such as: Swap Sans; Classic Sans; Fell Sans; Dust Sans; Hyper Dust Sans; Chara; (HATE Chara was an event); and ĐŮ$Ť3WÅP 6ÄP7ŘŲ$ for wins. I glitched the name because I don't wanna spoil it too much, but defeat Swap Sans, and fight Dust Sans. They also have events occasionally, for example, last Halloween. They had a Help_Tale Chara event. REALLY great game overall. So please, check it out! This games potential cannot go unnoticed.
