Sans Teleportation

[NoOneCanJustDeflectTheEmeraldSplash]

Sans seems to teleport around the world in Undertale via his "Shortcuts". His bedroom door is a door with glowing lights coming from beneath it, the teleportation doors you use in Deltarune to get from place to place use the exact same graphic and it's safe to say that this is Sans' teleportation, or, his shortcuts, of course, he still has teleportation of the opponent as shown during the genocide route, but his self teleportation seems to be reliant on certain places or areas where he's hidden these doors.

For clarification, they both use the exact same sprite (Other than the door being a different color because of lighting) and color changing animation.

Bump

Except that Sans has used self-teleportation on many occasions where it would be impossible for such a huge door to exist. Hell, in none of the occasions he used it on-screen would it make sense for him to use a door. All the shortcuts he takes blatantly don't show any doors at all.

It doesn't help that no, it's not "safe to say" that Sans, a side character who's shown no involvement with the Dark World at all to have built the teleport doors that have actually been set up by someone else than him. It's just a reference. Doesn't help that his own room door doesn't even teleport people, it's just a door.

And finally, Deltarune is not only not usable right now, it's also an Alternate Universe. Ergo, we can't use it to argue for UT stuff for now.

 

[NoOneCanJustDeflectTheEmeraldSplash]

Oh, okay. Fair enough.

I have another sans question, shouldn't he possibly have time stop? Even if it potentially may not be combat applicable

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

I mean, it's very likely that Sans' teleportation is just time stop, but we don't have enough proofs of it being actually time stop outside of a visual effect when Sans talks to Frisk in Grillby's.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

I mean I think that is enough for "Possibly Time Stop" if nothing else. Maybe toss in a note that he has never used it for combat and may not be capable of using it that way

Yeah, basically this.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Iap, the issue is that he doesn't show time stop, not that it might not be applicable in combat. The Grillby's scene I talked about earlier is the only sign of him having this ability, but it's not enough to give him time stop.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

I mean I would argue that all the movement in the room stopping when he says that is at the very least a sign of it. The only 2 possibilities is that it was some form of time manip or ability like that, or it was just some rule of cool visual effect. There is also the fact that your dinner with him in the restaurant has him stop all the background noise, beyond just the music, but that falls under the same possibilities. Don't go claiming that he hasn't shown time stop, because it is basically a toss up between it being time stop or it being an atmospheric effect.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

The thing is that you're acting like the issue is that it's not applicable in combat (which it should be if it's legit), when the issue is that the only "proof" is more likely to be a visual effect. Hence why we can't just add it as "not applicable in combat" on his profile.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Not exclusively, but it is an issue. Also, dont go pretending your interpretation is more valid than the alternative, because it's about a 50/50 chance whether it was just an effect or if it was an ability.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Not really. If it is time stop, it'd clearly just be part of his teleportation ability, since it uses the same sound cues. And that we have not reasons to say it requires prep.

If it was a 50% chance it'd be on his profile already. It's not because it's been rejected. Because background animations outside of the spotlight the characters are in stopping isn't enough to warrant time stop.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Why would they have to be the same ability? Lol. What sound queues are you referring to? Also, on what basis would it need prep, or that that would somehow stop him from having it?

So you base that it is not a 50/50 chance because it was rejected? Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but if that is what you are saying than that is incredibly fallacious and circular. Why would stopping those not involved in a course of events not qualify for time stop? There are definitely characters out there who have that kind of time stop

 

[NoOneCanJustDeflectTheEmeraldSplash]

Sans' "Time stop" is for atmosphere.
