I'm not sure how Calv saying the novels aren't official and only a possibility translates to "we can use them for this separate version of the character." You'd need to prove that different versions of the character share all of the same abilities, we don't just assume that by default. I'm not sure what Error's author did, but if they said something that contradicts what the character's actually shown (In canon/official media, obviously a "contradiction" in something that's non-canon wouldn't matter) then yeah, death of the author and all, go with the showing over the contradicted statement. (We've always treated WoG like that) That doesn't apply here, Calv is just saying that the novels are their own thing, and that some of their interpretations are merely their own headcanons and aren't meant to be canon to the character, which isn't contradicted (It's not my fault this guy is the absolutely devious combo of "Character who's 100% WoG" & "Author who says half of their own opinions on their character aren't canon")
Yes, you now understand the point that Calv in Ask is completely different. He sees Dust Sans as a neodymium character, considering the Calv novel where Dust strangles Undyne with telekinesis. There are many such examples. For example, UTF says his Insanity Sans island level and relativistic speed. His mistake is that he says Insanity destroys a mountain in an hour and this feat is building level at subsonic speed. The author of UTF argues with this on Discord. Now I don't know the circumstances, but this was a topic a long time ago. I'm glad you realized your mistakes, so never take into account what the author thinks. We can't take feats as the author wants or as he thinks. We always rely on context. Yes, we can take the author's opinion into account, but they operate at 30% confidence. Calv himself is not against the level of the Dust Sans system, but we don't know what the Ask team thinks. By the way, the novel was made by Kalv, it was originally supposed to be canon, but the Ask team rejected the plot but added it as semi-canon. Kalv is not the boss in ASK Dusttale, we don’t even know the Ask team, maybe there are no boss there, but Kalv just takes the parts that the Ask team doesn’t mind. Basically, we only take the context of Kalv, Kalv is not against such additions, but if you want to know more deeply, you need to at least find one person who is a member of ASK Dusttale and try to ask him a question that, in principle, it is difficult
You can also stand closer than that, the distance you're trying to use is entirely arbitrary. I agree that we can't assume a 1 second timeframe (Or any timeframe, really) for how quickly Sans would be able to kill Asgore, I don't think we can assume any kind of distance or timeframe for this, at best this would just be "Sans scales to Asgore." Killing him "before he gets ready" doesn't necessarily indicate a speed blitz, it just means he attacked when Asgore wasn't expecting it
To pull this off, you need no more than 3-5 meters if Asgore doesn't expect this attack, but the place where he is is large and open, I don't think your context can pull this off.
Where are you getting any of this on Sans actually doing any of that? Is this from one of the novels? Because like I said before, we can't assume different versions of the character have the same abilities and Calv is very insistent that Dust Sans doesn't use other characters' abilities and only fights like classic Sans
Is this a language barrier? This ability was given to Dust Sans specifically by the FC OC, which says "Confirmed that he's capable of copying the styles and appearances of the Boss Monster's magic attacks and recreate it in his own form of skeletal magic." Although they changed the context, it was written that his bones explode and instantly create imitation attacks. I don't know who changed that, or did you just change it? In any case, I demand the ability be downgraded to "creating an arsenal." This wasn't in the novel, it was in Ask's question, where Calv answered that Dust Sans can do it but isn't interested. Yes, there are many answers where Dust Sans isn't interested in many things, but he can.
Sure, I don't know what's in the novels, I can't read Korean so I don't know what happens in them, but since Calv has said they're semi-official (Which they then said means not official) and you agreed in your original blog to keep them separate, then it doesn't really matter what's in them. I'm not trying to argue about what novel Sans has and they have no bearing on the version of the character we're actually talking about
It's semi-canon but it's related one of the variations of the plot Dusttale, meaning it's one universe and not a separate one, but it can't be taken as the ASK universe, although it's hard to say, because the novel itself would be canon, but the ASK team only rejects the plot of Dusttale, but they didn't reject many things, they rather agreed to semi-canon and not absolute fanon, the novel is semi-canon, but it's possible in terms of being one of the variations of the events of Dusttale, however, I'll take it as a separate universe, I don't know how others will use it, although it doesn't matter
Once again I don't need to prove anything, you're making the positive claim about the types of traps Sans can use, you're saying "he can do x" so you're the one who needs to prove that, I don't need to prove "he can't do x" that's always been how this works.
If you mean traps like lasers or similar, then no, Dust Sans can't set such traps in ASK. It wasn't mentioned that Dust Sans knows engineering to create such complex traps, because these aren't traps, but traps at a difficult level where you need engineering knowledge. Dust Sans's only knowledge is interested in poisons, but not engineering. Therefore, we need more obvious traps that can be implemented, for example, a regular bear trap.
I still don't. You're once again the one making the positive claim (Coffee can provide a 2x speed amp) now you have to prove that, I'm not even sure where the argument of whether coffee has/is an alkaloid even came from, you just brought that up for no reason at some point and it has nothing to do with the original argument (Also I just brought up MWI as an example of how a verse needs to establish how its own stuff works, I'm not sure why you're zeroing in on MWI itself so much) you're the one shifting the goalpost here, I asked you to prove that coffee can provide a 2x speed amp like you claimed it could and you responded with "well prove it's not an alkaloid" (
Or, well, "prove coffee isn't coffee," which... what?) which is completely unrelated, I'm just asking you to prove what you've been claiming, I'm not sure why you've been so aggro over this
This is called "scaling" all the feats in it are taken into account strictly, we need to know science, medicine, the need for programming, and metaphysics, in other words, we must know everything. A common example is Saitama. Without knowledge of metaphysics, his spiritual space rift becomes 4-dimensional, but knowledge of metaphysics reduces his level to 3-dimensional, now the spiritual space is 3-dimensional and Saitama is not omnipotent. The next example is a human-sized black hole, and a fictional character can withstand its impact. The black hole size human itself is quite comparable in power to a planet or a star. However, ordinary factors, such as damage from a bullet or a normal fall, reduce the black hole's power to that of a city, and the more such factors, the more its power is reduced. Therefore, we need evidence of metaphysical factors, usually from metaphysics it is that Dusttale is a game universe, but this is more about cosmology than its factors, this does not cancel out the absence of alkaloids
Except they straight up have? Like, sure, maybe you could interpret the answers to them as just being "he's limited to LV20 in the underground because there's nothing left to kill, but outside of that he could get stronger" (Calv's answers to any questions about Dust Sans going to AUs to get more xp are all pretty dismissive of the idea, so I wouldn't say so, but sure, I guess I could see the argument) but since we're indexing him as he appears and functions in his own verse, that's not really different from just being capped at 20 in general, we never just hand out High 3-A ratings for characters with level mechanics because "they could theoretically level up forever." We'd just index them at strongest they get in their story
I think I understand what you mean. You seem to mean that VS Battle doesn't take potential into account, but rather peak power? But it's as clear as Saitama's solar system, for example, but his potential is infinite in terms of three-dimensional limitations. So I don't think there's any argument about that, since it's potential, not peak power, it's just statistics and potential growth limitations.
Dude, what is your problem?
I have no problems, but FC OC has problems and it would be better to fix them because their tier list has 2-C Nightmare, although Nightmare Sans himself cannot destroy the AU, but only fills several universes with an aura, which gives him range and not his destructive potential. I also noticed that FC OC takes the wrong contexts. I don’t even know where the Nightmare context came from, where a completely different author, a fan of Dreamtale, writes since Joku only has one account. I don’t remember him having a second account. Although this is better than her 2020s, a similar story also happened in VS Battle where Papyrus 2018 is the island level, In 2023, they can't even partially reveal the powers of the Undertale characters, in any case, now it is much better, but even now this fandom has big disadvantages of knowledge that they lack
I've made no claims about programming as a whole or my own knowledge on the field, (At best I said the answer was talking about Sans' memories when it said data, which isn't a claim about programming that's just reading comprehension) you're just strawmanning. I've said that we have no reason to believe a game crashing translates to the real in-game universe (Which, surprise, surprise, don't exist irl. Knowing how real programming and/or computer files work doesn't mean you know what would happen to something that doesn't actually exist) being destroyed, why would we assume otherwise?
If you're talking about knowledge, then we need another example file, for example, Sans's file, that is, sans.data, then memory.data, since this will be like artificial intelligence where we delete memories. However, I don't remember about data.memory, but okay, the author doesn't have such knowledge of the program, but the author didn't even mention anything about memories. He mentioned general data and even specifically gave an example of "APP".data. Listen, the context is not some kind of joke, they are strictly observed and not distorted, and I will repeat this until you understand
