Why don't he use the instant KO moves everytimes then instead using it only when you have NUL ability? It faster that way.

No, megalovania is Sans's theme in that context. If he were just lazily fucking around with his friend or bullshiting a "fight" just to give up and say he tried, it would've been this theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41YOknSl0zw
But in the situation you fight him, he takes great pleasure in unleashing his powers onto you and killing you over and over again. He's a megalomaniac, but only against you. Megalovania is Sans' theme when he gives it his all.

Sans takes no pleasure in killing you at all, did you even play the game? He's only doing it because he knows that that version of Frisk has to be stopped. Megalovania is clearly the players boss theme.
>>
>>315364023
He's just big boned
:^)
>>
>>315363698
nah dude he's willing to spare you before the real fight even begins and thinks yall were bros in some timeline even if it didn't happen he's only owning your shit in hoping you quit to save your soul. I mean he literally tells you he's eventually going to lose when he does his SPECIAL ATTACK. Megalovania is definitely You/Chara's theme due to the excise of power You/Chara has displayed all the way to this point by killing everyone and everything just because you can.
>>
>>315364110
Sans doesn't even care about the "killing you" part, that's just collateral, he knows full well that death itself isn't enough to stop you. All he wants to do is discourage you to the point where you lose your determination and decide to reset the timeline.

Sadly for him, him being such a great boss fight and pretty much the main reason anyone attempts a genocide run in the first place, his plan usually has the reverse effect on you.

The way he taunts you as you fight and what he says between fights makes it obvious he loves killing you.

Yeah that's his main motivation, but you're blind if you think he doesn't take pleasure in it succeeding.

>>315364305
Sure he's willing to give you one more chance to give up because he's a lazy fuck. That doesn't at all mean he doesn't like killing you Y O U D I R T Y B R O T H E R K I L L E R

No, he's "mad" because you're a shitposting moron. The quality of Undertale isn't even the topic, the topic is boss battle that isn't the boss's, but yours. Megalovania fits that criteria, along with several other songs posted in this thread.

No, I don't really mind if people dislike Undertale. I mind if people use buzzwords and shit on something without actually giving legitimate criticisms (for example, someone saying that they find the puzzles in the game to be overly easy when they don't need to be, or people saying that they find that the sprites and music seem to clash and have no universal theme, or people saying that they dislike the game because they find that the humor is unfunny and hurts the impact of the story). But instead all I get are shit buzzwords and shit.

Worse yet, this isn't even an Undertale thread so your shitty post isn't even on-topic. Can't you at least put effort and explain yourself, or post on-topic or SOMETHING?

Thank you for agreeing with me.

By the way, Papyrus' overworld theme and battle theme is the same tune, because the context behind in which they each play remains unchanged, if you need any more indication that I'm right.

>>315366024
papyrus' battle theme is a remixed version of his overworld theme, they're only the same at the start

Through all of its previous iterations, it's been a "you're about to get your shit pushed in" theme.

You're really grasping now, bud. I intentionally said the same tune, not the same track. Adding drums and base doesn't make it a different song, it just makes it sound more heated.

I wish there had been more genocide boss fights and each with their own version of Battle Against a True Hero. Would have made sense due to the song name since they'd be at full determination power.

Papyrus still believing in you, no matter what you do until the bitter end is more powerful than his will being broken, I think. Because he's right, you CAN stop at any time.

Yes, but this should only be possible if you've never finished a Genocide run and sold your soul. Anyone who has forfeits the right to kill Chara.
>>
>>315368116
That's how I expected it to end, to be honest.

The genocide ending seems really poorly justified to me.

We know how Flowey comes back from the dead, but how does Chara come back? Just because? How does he "possess" Frisk? Since when can people even do that? Why can he just magically destroy the world? Why can't you stop him? It felt like he was suddenly "in control" because Toby said so and that's really shitty.

acces to the hard core pacifist run in which
your goal would be to befriend chara.

>>
>>315363698
Man I'm glad he went with Megalovania.
>>
>>315368538
My own personal headcanon is that you are actually using Chara's body and soul, just possessed by the player as a host, and that the years of being mummified and stuffed underground left the body looking very little like how it used to, thus confusing any monster that saw it. Keep in mind that human souls persist long after death. Given that Asriel died on top of Chara's body, it's not impossible that Chara's soul went back inside, and slept in it and just nobody noticed.

What you're actually doing, is sort of guiding Chara to one of two paths. "Frisk" is what happens when you guide the body and soul back to the humanity that Chara rejected when they were alive before. However, genocide is reawakening Chara, without ANY of the humanity that he may have had before he died. That said, you're still in control of the soul, so Chara can't really come back.
>>
>>315369279
I think the unused track was intended to really be Sans' theme, but Toby ended up going "Fuck it. I can't top megalovania, I'll just use that again"

The theme is never used because you don't fight sans.

Sans fights you.

Given the upbeat nature of this song, this would be some scenario where he's fucking around with you on his own terms. Maybe a scenario where you manage to skip meeting toriel at all(skipping the tutorial). He DID say he'd fuck you up if you toriel never told him not to, but I think he'd give up or just be screwing with you even in that case.

sans is quite obviously playing the part of the hero in that fight. he's the last stand against the ancient evil wiping everything out, even if he knows it's pointless, as he's aware you have SAVE.

he's trying his best to hold you off till you get bored.

YOU are the re-awakened ancient evil posessing an indeterminate-gendered child. YOU are the final boss at the end of the game. Sans is the monster's, and the world's last stand.

megalovania is the theme of a psycho killer creating a bad time. you are that psycho killer.

Megalovania is literally the rehash of a rehash of a theme.
Toby Fox used it first in his shitty EB hack, then Homestuck, and now in Undertale. It will obviously be used in his next magnum opus.

But what can you expect. There's a fine line between incompetent and lazy.
>>
>>315370551
Undyne was playing the part of the hero, too. That doesn't make "the heroine appears" Frisk's other theme.
>>
>>315370330
>frisk's

Frisk is long gone by then. At that point control of his body is entirely "yours." Actually you could argue that the player is just an influence on either chara or frisk, but they both have their own opinions and decisions that they will have regardless of what you as the player want(hence the game telling you how you feel/think and the obvious final moments in genocide, but alot of smaller shit too).
>>
>>315370645
Yeah but it worked, so why care? Sans used the theme well enough to make it his own.

Nobody else respond to this.
>>
>>315370652
nope, because she actually has a theme that actually fits with her character.

this is the final boss theme. you are the final boss, the one trying to cause a genocide.

the hero's theme plays against undyne...but then you kill the hero. sans is just a bystander forced to try and do something.

>We know how Flowey comes back from the dead, but how does Chara come back?

The thing to remember is that there are two chara. The fallen child chara who died and is still dead, and the demon chara, which is basically just the games way of describing the player.
>How does he "possess" Frisk?
When you typed your name in at the beginning and started playing the game.
>Since when can people even do that?
Pretty much every videogame ever gives the player control over a character.
>Why can he just magically destroy the world?
Because it's just a game. It can be destroyed very easily. It's just lines of code, it has no physical form. It's an idea, much like a monster, and so if you hate it enough you can get rid of it.
>Why can't you stop him?
Because if you made it that far you clearly don't want to stop. Stopping chara is easy, just stop yourself.

To be fair they are just as quick to not even try to explain themselves as you are to assume your own perspective is objectively correct and informed

It also doesn't help that in the first time around, every single boss except maybe the Samurai and the Templar are characterized and irredeemably evil. Even when they start implying that your actions are wrong, they don't imply that killing the bosses is ever a bad thing, it's messing with the crystals that's bad.

Like I said, they're assholes. Though there were a few good ones. Templar, Valkyrie, Dark Knight, Samurai. Vampire guy isn't even necessary to fight and kind of just beats you up once then hangs out in his castle. I don't think I'd call the spell fencer evil, either. He's basically just a mercenary. The pirate's just looking for ADVENTURE, and I don't remember if the doctor guy ever actually DID anything besides beat you down, talk shit, and take care of the little girl.

>>315372218
in the first playthrough, chemist wiped out a village with poison in the lake, and tried to do the same to another.

time mage was also leading a sweatshop in his town while killing and/or robbing people in the desert, letting them die of dehydration...

basically, the asterisks in the first recycle are (almost) all irredeemably evil cunts, while later versions have actual character depth to them.
>>
>>315360982
When you go to Toby's old website for his romhack (where Megalovania first came from), he explicitly stated that he wanted to deal with ideas of player consequence. The true ending involves you chasing a sorry old man into his own psyche to have him confront his fears before killing him, and in the final fight he chastizes the player for thinking that they're the hero just because they're playing the game. Given that context, it definitely seems like Megalovania is actually the theme of the player in both aspects, it's the theme of the player driven to commit terrible acts simply because they want to play the game. That's why you do a genocide route in Undertale, because you can.

I like to think Armstrong in MGR is a similar case. His theme is Collective Consciousness, and that plays when you fight him as Jetstream Sam and with the Excelsius. It Has To Be This Way is really Raiden's song as he confronts this situation realizing Armstrong is right about them being the same (in that they both have strong wills and a goal in mind).
>>
>>315371435
desu the songs used in subsequent games are true arrangements

it's still a good song but toby's just lazy
>>
>>315372439
all the versions of megalovania have slight differences tweaked for the various characters--sans, for example, sounds far more like chiptunes.

>>315372434
And now we're right back where we started.

>>315372527
different instruments maybe but the melody/score is like 99% the same

>>315372394
I'd say they're about 50/50 between being terrible people and being okay in the first world. But, yeah, the point of each world after that is that it's nicer than the previous. I mean, hell, the last one they go to is basically perfect, right? Lost family and friends still alive, all that.

Not a remix you FUCKING RETARD.

Open up the sound track in your music player of choice. Open the song "sans." from the soundtrack. Turn the playback speed up to 200%, then kill yourself in shame.

>>315376485
Holy shit, you are so fucking stupid. You can do that right on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzo6L3wsf8c

Guess what it sounds like? It sounds like "song that might play when you fight sans", because that's what it fucking is. Not Megalovania.

You are needlessly hostile for something so simple and insignificant

My first impulse is that Papyrus is too innocent and oblivious to be involved but on second thought it's possible.

Reminder that Papyrus knows about the time and space warping, even if he doesn't do anything about it.

Speed it up to 2. Right there, in the youtube link. Listen close. If you don't hear Megalovania then you're god damn tone deaf.
>>
>>315376760
It sounds literally nothing like Megalovania. You need to stop huffing spraypaint.

Who am I kidding, it wouldn't be worth it without Mom and Papyrus
>>
>>315376630
On one hand, it makes sense that Sans and Papyrus would work together, since they're so close. Papyrus does not strike me as a good person to have anywhere near a lab, what with his high levels of enthusiasm, questionable critical thinking skills, and proclivity for mostly harmless but still dangerous Saturday morning cartoon villain stuff. Also, he's wayyyy too kind and pure and innocent for the science scene of Undertale.

Err, it does not sound even close to Mega.

At all, maybe Im tone deaf but I could clearly hear the different notes for the piano puzzle, so, I dunno

>>315377263
You can hear "sans." as arranged by Toby himself into a boss theme here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4VNZdsjveE

It sounds NOTHING like Megalovania because it's not. At all. Your ear is correct.

This game is like signing yourself into playing allt he parts of a Lifetime movie about an abusive relationship

They start off with a similar harmonic progression for the first two seconds and then diverge completely. I have no idea what that retard was thinking.

Sync the beginning of Sans to when the strings of Megalomania kick in.

The final bosses theme is the game's theme:

Almost everyone but the red mage (who is an authentically bad dude) and valkyrie (who just wants to do her job) in Ch 2 is fucking cursed thanks to fucking with nature and pretty much juggling bouts of insanity when you find them
