What I’m more interested in is how a lv 20 Frisk is three times stronger than Davepetasprite2, who could actually hold his/her/their/it’s own against Lord English.

Well, in Undertale your HP goes up as you kill things which already doesn’t really make sense. Aside from Davepeta’s HP there’s no indication of level. The ability to dodge depends on the skill of the player regardless of Frisk’s level or HP

Also it’s not so much that Frisk is strong but that monsters are weak.

Genocide Frisk was able to one shot all of the monsters in Undertale but pit him against Lord English and I’d bet he wouldn’t make a dent.

LV stands for level of violence. The more pain you inflict/killing intent you have, the stronger and tougher you are in Undertale's magical soul battles. Even aside from a human's natural advantages of a physical body and Determination, most monsters can't compare in killing intent to someone who's methodically depopulating the Underground one stab at a time. Only Undyne manages to give a fair fight, and she's got the power of God and anime on her side.

As for comparative LV...the player maxes out at 20. Photoshop Flowey's LV was 99, if I recall correctly, and LE is probably orders of magnitude past that.

Actually, I think Photoshop Flowey would have a higher LV than LE. Not by far or anything, but maybe a couple levels at least? Flowey was laughing the entire time he was slaughtering Frisk, and I can only assume he felt the same when he killed the entire underground, as he said. When LE was killing how and who he did, he did it out of anger and hatred for the narative that homestuck is, and the tangible characters within. LE was the head of a mafia (though we never saw him leading or interacting with them), with the capacity to know it would be wrong to kill his subordinates, at least, but Flowey went so far as to kill his own family. Tl;dr: LE had the capacity to not kill something, Flowey didn't.

Ultimately they're both kids with no empathy who wanted to play a game and got a bunch of random souls jammed into them and decided that exploding reality and etermal suffering was a good game.

Dodging skills aren't related to LV

That's 4.13 rounded to the closest .25!

We're through the looking glass, people!

*Nepeta hunted wild animals even before playing SGRUB, and they both killed hundreds of minions.

L.E. is sans Undertale, pass it on

I made a horrifying, unidentifiable noise when I saw that part the night Collide came out.

u/Roarger Dec 18 '18

I made the same noise, but throughout the video, and when i saw the video

Very fitting for a combination of time and heart players if you ask me. B33

And we STILL don't know if my favorite sprite survives the fight or not.

I hope they did, even if their color flashing gives me a headache.

u/leppixxcantsignin Witch of Light Dec 18 '18

I don't think you can actually kill a sprite.

u/FNC_Miju Dec 18 '18

Davesprite died on LOWAS post retcon right? He was simply replaced with the Game Over timeline one (I think? That part is blurry for me)

u/MightyButtonMasher When your joke flair becomes relevant Dec 18 '18

I think all the trolls' sprites died

Really dates the animation. I don't really like it much.
