Undertale: Undyne the Undying

Update 09/01/23: This video now has a commentary track hidden in the closed captions, mostly answering common things I've seen in the comments! (If there's something I should edit in and/or got wrong let me know, I still read every comment I get a notification for, I promise!) Anyway, back to the original video description:

So I finally decided to create a monster in the form of a full reset. I didn't plan on uploading more than one video of this game, but... look at this in contrast to the other one.

I. Uh. Have no words.

Oh and by the way, if you're wondering why my attacks have three bars and yours don't, it's because I have the ballet shoes equipped. They're hidden in Waterfall, and have higher damage, so equipping them will definitely help in this fight.

Good luck if you're still playing this game and are coming here for advice!

Remember guys, this is the same person that burned down her own house trying to cook pasta.

[patricksusulin]

by now asgore had absorbed the human souls...

several bad times later asgore is still watering his damn

[splattershotuniversity]

“Local fish woman literally too angry to die”

[TCAudio]

That bruh moment when it takes him 7 minutes to beat her but it deadass takes me 2 hours and 3 cry sessions

[Shazbut]

Undyne is the real hero of this story because she made me quit my genocide run.

[toxicpixel]

"Whats that weird expression on your face?"

-_-

[KRNGE]

It is at this point in the Genocide run that you don't feel so determined.

[ΒαγγεληςΛουκος]

When the yellow arrows come at me I just mash randomly the arrow keys and hope for the best

[NoelistAvenger]

You know... As horrible as the Genocide Run is, it truly shows some of the characters in their finest hour, especially the Boss Monsters :

- Papyrus refusing to fight you because he will never stop believing in you, even if you kill him. He is so optimistic and supportive in the face of every horrible thing you've done that many a player actually aborted their Genocide run because of him.

- Undyne flat-out *refusing* to die and going all Super Saiyan on your ass through the power of Determination, because she wants to protect her loved ones and save everyone from you, like a true Anime hero.

- Mettaton NEO, even though he is complete pushover, standing in your way even though he *knows* he does not stand a chance against you... But he does so anyway, just because he wants to buy time for the other monsters to escape. It shows just how genuinely selfless and heroic he is despite his gigantic ego.

- Alphys going out of her way to evacuate as many monsters as possible despite being an emotionnal wreck, becoming a hero in her own right even though she does not actually *fight* you.

- Sans unleashing the mother of all bad times upon your sorry ass for the greater good, and showing us just how dangerous and capable he *truly* is when he starts caring about something.

- Heck, even *Flowey* gets one, as he reverts to his old Asriel self just before you cleave him out of existence : he was scared shitless to such a point that, even without a SOUL, he became his old self again... Just in time to get killed by his former best friend. And it is such a horrible death that many players actually feel sorry for him : the Genocide run makes people feel *bad* for killing *Flowey*.

Anyone notice that when Undyne delivers that iconic "You're gonna have to try a little harder than THAT!!" her text sound is different? It's very slight, but it's there. Also this fight and this theme is my favorite in the entire game.

[Vagabond]

The whole time, Alphys was watching the fight.

She saw Undyne die. It's sad to imagine...

[asrielgamurr]

Undyne:wants to protect her friends and the world
Also undyne: still gives you her spear to block her attacks

[eddyfuzzy]

I've never so much hoped for a player to lose.

[ThunderStruck]

Something I like is how in the regular Undyne fight, the soundtrack is epic, so much that it feels artificial, and how Undyne does things like spin her spear and suplex boulders as if to show off, but in this fight, the soundtrack is still epic, but it's also much more serious, and she's totally focused on fighting you, forgoing her usual bravado and displays of strength.

[Mincho]

You killed Undyne... AND YOU ATE THE SNOWMAN PIECE? Good lord man have at least a bit of mercy.

[paulandrew]

I really love how in the Neutral/Pacifist Route it shows undyne a villain and in genocide it makes her look like a true hero she even would protect the humans from you what a "Battle Against a True Hero"

[alicealysia]

The undying fight actually legitimately had me cheering against myself. I've never done that in a video game.

[hypns]

7:27: By now she's called ASGORE and told him to absorb the 6 human SOULs.
(Later, in Asgore's Home)
-Asgore: There's no need to fight. Why not settle this over a nice cup of tea?
Nice work you king of WEENIES!!

[slothers]

It’s at this point during the game you realize, you’re not the hero of the story.

*Youre the villain.*

[rodrickgoldberg]

In my Undertale experience. Undyne succeeded in stopping me... But not because she beat me. It was because I have so much fun fighting her that I never continued my genocide run.
She basically sacrificed herself and trapped the both of us in a time loop I don’t want to break.
