We all know the battle system of Deltarune where you move around the SOUL.
If it is OUR soul, which is linked to Kris, why does it cause damage to party members other than Kris? Are all party members life linked somehow if they are considered part of it?
Or what if Kris is giving orders on how party members should dodge (like Susie in the Gerson fight)?
We all know our battle actions in combat are translated as Kris giving orders (as proven by Sound of Justice), so would dodging be the same as well with Kris telling dodging instructions to party members?
For the battles where Kris is not present, would the life-link logic apply instead with the SOUL substituting the party member dodging?
A simulation of a theoretical Hammer of Justice fight with this logic
[Susie] (Kris, help me out!)
[Kris] left
[Kris] right
[Kris] down
[Susie gets hit]
[Kris] wait no, up
[Hit again]
[Kris] fvck
[Kris] up
[SOUL gets hit by a massive hammer, breaking it out of Shield Mode]
[Kris] WAIT WTF???
[Gerson slams hammers into the battle box]
[Kris] ASDFGHJKLKJLFDSJLDKSJFDS
[Kris] LEFT?????
Soul commands Kris
Who commands them
And if otherwise the soul does it directly
But
Yes
And good dialogue funny
Or what if the SOUL is a red platform (kinda like a Roomba) that all party members stand on (non-visually) which loses stability when hit which is why multiple members could be affected?
jokes aside, this is just a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously
What if it’s just incomprehensible and we should just enjoy the game /j
who knows, maybe the spamton neo fight could be like this
[Kris] up
[Kris] up
[Kris] right
[Kris] SHOOT NOW OPEN FIRE *aggressive gunfire (or soulfire)???*
[Pipis hits bullet board]
[Kris] left-
[gets hit anyway]
[Kris] ASDJDSHJKDSFHKDFHJDSL WHATTTT THAT'S NOT FAIR
sure tho
let's ignore the elephants in the room with all the logical inconsistencies /j
Due to its similarity with the Gaster version of the Save File Selection Menu, I believe that the battle box isn't a part of the Dark World, but a window to an even lower (darker) layer of reality. It abstracts the complex motions of a battle into an interface to make it easier to dodge. Just imagine how hard it would be to dodge a realistic axe chop with QWOP controls.
As for why we dodge for the whole party, it's because we do have a greater degree of control of Kris's party members inside of battles than outside of them. We control them like we do Kris. Susie just doesn't know the difference between our voice and Kris's.
But the soul always comes from Kris, even when they're off screen.
Yes but the SOUL and Kris are different things
