Who Knows About Sans' Strength?

[GalaxyBrain]

I've seen a lot of conversations about how strong Sans is, or his abilities in general.

My question is, who, besides Flowey, know about Sans' badass fighting capabilities? Where are mentions of his strength in a non-genocide run?

[Pegasusangel]

There are no mentions of his strength thats what makes the genocide run so hard. It's also why most people are surprised he is the judge after their first run through.

[ratqwert]

Well, he does seem to teleport a lot, no matter which route you're playing through. That may be a clue.

[(Edgy) Asriel Dreemurr]

The only characters that know are Flowey, Sans himself, and you/Frisk/Chara after you encouter him on the genocide route.

Papyrus might also know, but it's unclear as to what extent.

[Ass. Dir. Elias Shaw, PhDeez]

i guess the science books might count but idk

[Hoxo]

No one knows how strong he is. Fun Fact: he has lower stats than Monster kid

[Flandre]

It's not offical but Maybe Asgore because someone has to kill the Humans and i am unsure but didn't flowey mention that sans killed the humans so Asgore should now about it.

[Laati]

Asgore, Flowey, Papyrus, Frisk, Chara.

He isnt really strong, he simply have a powerset that its the perfect counter to yours.

You instakill everything in a single hit. He cant get hit unless exhausted.

You are fragile but can dodge, his attacks are terribly hard to dodge.

Your high love gives you extra HP, he have a mechanic that punish high love.......

Now, imagine him fighting another monster.
Monsters suffers only a tick of damage, even when hitted several times in a single turn, so sans will deal wither 24 damage before dying if karma retribution is unactive, or double that amount if it works at full power.

The result?

Pretty much every single monster in the game outside the ruins would kill sans in a 1 v 1, making him one of the weakest monsters in the underground, he simply is specially tailored to defeat you, just like in rock paper and scissors, rock is specially tailored to destroy scissors, without necessarily being stronger.
