UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE [shiny new] DISCUSSION THEAD

[SnakesCity]

A human child in high school depicted comparable height, sometimes shorter, than their classmates who also is depicted fairly normal sized to the objects around them probably isn't over 7 feet tall because of a measurement as stupid as "10 feet 20 inches"

Are we seriously going to delude ourselves into believing Kris is unironically 7 feet tall?

It is a bit ridiculous, considering it's pointed out multiple times that Kris is considered short by other people.

I've expressed this before but I do not think "ten foot twenty the flower man" is relating to Asgore as it's a song about Flowery

Various lines refer to Asgore and a few refer to Flowery.

Like this line is from Flowery's POV and has the "Flower Man" as a separate entity.

Could I do something to make him laugh
Inside my little chamber made of glass?

Taking this metaphorical song lyric at face value would be like if we took Papyrus saying that sans and Toriel are two feet apart and then said sans and Frisk are around like two feet tall.

Btw i don't doubt Asgore is like 10 feet tall. That dude is built like a truck and is usually drawn at similar sizes like that outside of the game, but scaling everyone up in size based off that height tends to make everyone giant due to the art style.

The Japanese lyrics for the song say "10尺20" - Feet is a weird measurement to find in other parts of the world, and as I suspected, the Japanese lyrics are using a different measurement, Shaku. 10.20 Shaku, when converted to Feet, comes out to roughly... 10.14077 feet. Which I guess you could round up to 10.20 feet if you want. This means 10'1" or 10'2" if we're treating it like a character's height.

Dunno if it's fully accurate, but seems neat.

Asgore is likely 3.5 meters tall but it definitely cannot be used to pixelscale anybody's height at all since it leads to ridiculous stuff like a 2 meter tall 16 year old lol

Well, the logic is simple: monsters are big, so furniture and objects have to be large enough for them to use comfortably.

 

[EnderLord8]

But seriously, I think we should use Asgore's size for feat calculations, but not for determining the size of the rest of the cast, since he's the only one for whom we have something close to a stated, true height.
