Undertale Alphys intelligence

[Comiphorous]

I know. Undertale intellgience CRTS. can't get enough amiright? This is a rather small thing, but Alphy's intelligence has her scaling to W.D. Gaster for creating the core under the logic of her working faster than he did...

Theres already a problem there. what does Alphys working Faster than Gaster have anything to do with whether she was as smart as him? The Gaster followers actually completely say the opposite of that, and actually imply Gaster himself was smarter by a long shot

"I understand why ASGORE waited so long to hire a new royal scientist.
The previous one... Dr. Gaster.
His brilliance was irreplaceable." - Gaster Follower #3

This quote directly contradicts Alphys scaling to gaster, and not only that but the quote used for her reasoning directly states afterwords;

"Alphys might work faster. But the old Royal Scientist, Doctor W.D. Gaster?"

while nothing comes from this line, it was definitely leaning into him being far more impressive, but simply worked slower compared to alphys.

I say it should be removed from her profile. this wouldn't actually change the overall rating, but it's wrong she scales to him.

Wouldn't them replacing him with her mean that she scales?

The gaster followers say asgore took a long time before he replaced gaster, chances are she was the best the underground had after gaster. The gaster followers still describe him as irreplaceable after the replacement.

Alphys doesnt scale to Gaster, Agree

But it could very well be a figure of speech to denote his significance. Especially if the person is dead (don't know the plot at all.)

Especially if the person is dead

He is erased from time and space (Only his followers remember his name) if that helps

Yeah just when someone is dead people really boost his honor. Especially if he was already deeply revered. Like for example Einstein was irreplaceable. Doesn't mean that there aren't smart people like him but everything he did was huge for the field.

"Alphys might work faster. But the old Royal Scientist, Doctor W.D. Gaster?"

This one is slightly better though I still think they are considered piers. Anyway that's all I thought about it.

 

[ShionAH]

maybe she can downscale?

 

[Serlock_Holmes]

maybe she can downscale?

If that's possible for intelligence it seems logical.

I agree, I don't see alphys being near W.D Gaster's intelligence
