Welcome to the Hollow Knight vs UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE series where we'll decide which universe is stronger post by post!
Last time, Void Given Form won against the Mini-Roaring(collective of Titan) of Titan Spawns, even though i thinked such a Huge number would be a fair match to the Shade...
Anyway, let us ask the question that was repeated 7 times already!
Who Would Win?
The Great Nailsage Sly

Or Gerson
FuckingBoom
they wouldnt fight they would go drink tea and talk about old man things

Oro, Mato & Sheo also wouldn't kill the Knight brutally, but apparently in Godhome those aren't their real selves
ExceptAbsolute Radiance
I think in Godhome they're just a manifestation of themselves?
My point still stands they would be besties though
Sly somehow put his shopkeepers key (which I needed for one of the dreamers BTW) at the end of path of pain for me on a randomizer I played once, Doubt Gerson would be able to do that.
But the real actual reason I vote for sly is because I can beat Gerson but can’t beat sly
If it was a death battle tho, it all comes down to the fact that Gerson has a GIANT HAMMER and Sly is a BUG.
Bug size is normalized as no scale is shown, for all we know they're just normal size and just called bugs, what if HK is set at that one time when oxygen levels meant giant insects?
Sly probably would be able to dodge Gerson, and the reverse is also true. So it depends on who does something unexpected....Sly has the dash slash, however, which could surprise Gerson and land him a hit, if not multiple, at amplified damage considering he's using nail arts.
Actually, while (to my memory) Sly has pretty straightforward patterns with few surprises or feints, Gerson actually does have a fake-out attack at the end of the battle, where there's an undodgeable ring of illusions about to strike, which then dissipate. Sly might get caught off-guard by this, leaving him open to attack.
But it doesn't do damage, so he wouldn't be attacked.
Also, what if he dash slashed-this would in itself be unexpected, and could help land a hit, if not multiple.
Sorry to whoever this guy is, but Gerson solos.
Yo I love Lorenzo (this is going into my inside joke stash)
Well, clearly, since the Curmudgeon had an idea instilled, Jeoffry boy was raising his kid, so he's not that much of a bitch
Have you been to White Palace
My guys idea of home decor is literally sawblades
Path of mild annoyance (I cried twice)
