Honestly, it's how I handle most things. If you don't demonstrate the ability to destroy a planet or at least scale to someone who can (through sheer brute force), I'm not going to buy that you're a planet-buster (or above). Lore scaling has to be backed up by something, otherwise it's just hyperbole.

And I'm never gonna touch anything involving outerversal or whatever, that shit's unquantifiable in my mindspace. I'm fine with universe-busting entities brawling (I love Dragon Ball, one of my favorite characters in the series is Beerus), but once you start getting into dimensional scaling and what-have-you I just cannot be bothered to try to interpret. At that stage, I'm just gonna go "I like this character more" and then eject myself from debate.

For the former, that’s ESPECIALLY true for Undertale top tiers NOT NAMED CHARA. While Chara destroyed the timeline (and likely more) via a slash, Omega Flowey did it via hax after regaining Save and Load and Asriel was going to do it after beating you, with the Hyper Goner being COMPLETELY WORTHLESS.

So you think Asriel is not Multiversal? I didn't really understand what your comment meant.

Physically, no. Via hax, yes. Just to be specific. Although infinite or immeasurable speed with Hyper Goner is a HUGE NO, as it was more likely for Asriel to assume that the HG would be the killing blow, and then he’d reset afterwards.

To be fair I think the argument for them atleast in my mind has always been more so that omega flowey and asriel should be equal to or above a singular soul with a lot of lv

Frisk, with they determination at its maximum, was not able to cause a single damage to Asriel, I don't know how someone could not use this to scale Asriel to be Multiversal physically.

Because the attacks miss, which is more akin to hax than durability.

I really don't buy that lol, I think the miss was to represent that we didn't cause any damage to Asriel.

Not to mention that Asriel's stats are stated to be infinite, so I think it makes more sense for him to be Multiversal physically.

Stats also don’t really matter, since they are provided by the narrator who’s an unreliable source of information.

And there’s no reason to assume they game would use miss to show your doing no damage when the it could just… display your attacks doing zero damage And this also runs into conflict with the other character who uses the miss text, Sans, who explicitly is dodging your attacks.

When else is the narrador unreliable?

u/logantheh May 11 '25

Literally every enemy stat screen is wrong… like all of them. We also know the narrator isn’t omniscient as they react to things like an actual character in the story, I won’t say “it’s chara” but they do definitively act as a character and again: doesn’t address my point overall.

Oh my god someone else realizes the hypergoner scales nowhere ?

This is just objectively wrong. Asriel states he's going to annihilate the timeline and explicitly did not intend for the fight to go past the hyper goner. It's pretty obvious the hyper goner is timeline destroying. Space even visibly warps during its action.

Asriel starts off the fight by saying that his goal after defeating you is to reset everything. He wasn't planning on destroying anything after you died. Hence, hyper goner was intended to destroy the timeline and kill you as collateral, letting him reset.
