True but the larger one has shown better feats, so it has to be stronger. Sure the little bones might be able to damage the shield but that hasn’t been shown.
If a larger variation of the same thing can break the shield (Not even that much bigger). I have no doubt those little bones after a barrage could do the same.
True Base Sans’ bones can block Gaster’s Gaster Blaster which is half as powerful as the red hand, but again, That’s Season 1 Gaster not Season 2, and Gaster’s Gaster Blasters are stronger Sans’ own blaster but let me remind, this is base Sans who has no scaling to the other Season 2 cast aside from DT and Hate amps.
I think it’s better to discuss this in the next three columns since the point is very much the same but in short. If Gaster scales to DT Sans, then Base Sans also scales but to a lesser degree.
DT Sans literally no durability feats implying he can tank any attack from someone like Gaster or Betty without shielding himself with bones or blasters (def 999 vs atk 66666). Sans never shields himself with a gaster blaster vs True Form Betty so it wouldn’t scale (It took 5 blasters by the way).
I wasn’t taking durability into question. I was just saying that the seven hand attack was notably strong enough that he didn’t use his blaster unlike what he did with thethe red hand because it was probably more overwheming. Also the stats aren’t to be taken literally, considering Camila even said those amino cards for stats aren’t to be taken literally. Although the tanking claim is pretty absurd considering that if he could, he wouldn’t need to dodge that entire fight.
Sans equal Papyrus does however. Papyrus can block a blast from a HATE Sans. That blaster also shielded LVL 19 Frisk from dying, who we see can fight True Form Betty and hurt a Hate filled Asriel. So if a weaker shield from Papyrus can block that attack. On top of Sans already being equal to him with DT, and Gaster from Season 1 being able to also break that blaster. There’s that.
Okay, I concede that Sans (with Frisk’s soul) scales to a certain extent to Season 1 Gaster, but again that’s Season 1. And I’d argue he’s still have to be stronger in Season 1 as he can fight and damage True Form Betty who is stronger than Akumu who can break through Gaster’s shield.
I think it was a typo but I imagine you meant Season 2. Not sure what moment you’re referring to. The one where Gaster was caught off guard or where Gaster shielded Akumu in a ball. In the first case the shield had barely even formed, hence why they could smash through it. We see beforehand where Betty tried smashing through the shield at full capacity and it left a crack on the surface of the shield, and that’s because it fully formed. If say Gaster was caught off guard like he was previously and only barely summoned his shield, you might get a R rating.
If it’s the numerous blows Akumu took to break the shield. Well yeah I already said Akumu in some ways still roughly scales to True Form Betty via scaling to others that scale to her. Although just want to note that they only were breaking a small bubble. We see in both seasons that Gasters hands break if his green shield does only if they’re at their full capacity. Like Sans breaking the shield, Akumu’s rubble, and Betty using Sans special attack. So Gaster was definitely using a weaker version of the bubble as his hand wasn’t even scathed when Akumu broke it.
Those other characters like Muffet and Grillby in Season 2 doesn’t scale to anyone important, or Mettaton NEO, as while they can damage True Form Betty who is "City Level" at this point, their durability isn’t. Frisk could have one-shot Mettaton and Muffet before they can use their arsenal, assuming they even had this in Season 1 (a month is really all you need for a powerup) They don’t scale, only the top tiers do (excluding Frisk, he’s a fraud).
When Betty fought Gaster she never took damage, relying Akumu to do the heavy lifting both offensive wise and defensive wise (except for a simple punch which doesn’t scale to any relevant, what does it even scale to, had it been a blast you would have a point there, but even that was the case this is Season 2, and not Season 1 Gaster). Base Betty has no durability feats aside from the punch and gets badly injured by every attack not blocked by Akumu. Betty would have died to Gaster if not for Akumu coming in clutch. Akumu was left like a deflated ball from a Gaster Blaster from Gaster with one red eye (don’t remember if this made him weaker or stronger) His blaster is comparable to DT Sans’s blaster by the time of animosity his red hand is double that (DT Sans with one blast overpowered two blasts from the red hand), but despite this Akumu can break through a shield from Gaster using Duality (not the hand, the shield. The hands have shown no good durability since Season 1 and even Akumu can destroy one of them even with Duality, the same two hands that can can survive Sans’ special attack, though they broke shortly after. But Akumu broke through one.) It almost seems like he’s stronger with his children not the other way around. Unless you mean to tell me Akumu before it merged with Betty and acquire “city level” strength was at least half as strong Sans’ special attack (mind you one blaster can damage and pressure Merged Betty, so 84 should obliterate her, so why is Akumu breaking through that hand, does he scale to 42 blasters now.)
Mettaton very much attempted a kick in that battle, which Betty blocked and for obvious reasons. Because Betty would’ve got hurt. Why I say this is because physical AP scales to durability. Betty one-shoting them doesn’t make you a lower tier. Betty one-shot Papyrus with a punch.
Once again I don’t understand the whole one month shenanigan. Not only are we never given any confirmation, but they weren’t even training. Mettaton NEO was a human eradication device, so in a time of peace with the humans, I doubt Alphys ever worked on it. Everyone had layed off training because they thought they had achieved peace. The only one is Undyne, and even then there’s no indication. Meanwhile Frisk was the complete opposite, having their DT being in the worst state than ever.
In terms of Betty, I was referring to both Akumu and Betty. Akumu is very much the one that binds both sides together. Akumu soaks up Monotone attacks from Gaster, while the Monotone attacks can hurt True Form Betty. Also the punch Betty took was Monotone enhanced, which is basically 2x Gaster blast. I discussed the shields thing in the previous column.
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but Gaster is not stronger with his children since he gives his magic to his children as he is a Boss Monster.
Akumu in his scythe form also can cut through a yellow attack and his blue saw attack (But they cut through Merged Betty like butter, almost like he’s stronger after Sans came back). His giant hands can damage True Form but we never what would happen if Base Betty got hit by it as she avoid damn near all of his attack (aside from that one regular weak ass punch). Hell she didn’t even tank those orange exploding pellets from Gaster, But But back to the shield, It can tank a blast from DT Sans when form by a smaller and weaker hand but it’s broken rather easily but much stronger one by Akumu who already broken one hand but it should be weaker than Merged Betty.
Do you understand why I believe seperating the two season would be better now?
Camila actually said that Sans was still technically dead only DT was keeping him conscious, which is why he didn’t gain his blue eye back. Also the cutting through butter can be weird. I think it depends on concentration for where the majority of the power goes. Gaster cut through her arm, but when Gaster blasted at her former scythe it completely canceled it out much like in Do or Die.
