Tabbender wrote: Oh, and Sans don't fight like Ness at all. Where is the PK Flash ? Where is the PK Rockin ? Where is the matter manipulation power that took out a whole universe? Two possibilities:

1. Inorganic objects such as cars, trash cans, and (in this case) skeletons could only use PSI due to the influence of Giygas. As I've stated before, with Giygas gone, this influence would also be absent. However, this explanation would mean that Sans can't teleport, either.

2. Sans may have traded his offensive PSI and Assist PSI such as Hypnosis and Paralysis for the attacks he has in Undertale, either due to their greater strength or to his new allegiance with W.D. Gaster, which is hinted at throughout the game. The PK Starstorm is literally meteors thrown at you.

The lack of PSI is actually the only explanation, since Sans can't manipulate matter (and Ness' powers are much stronger, so he would have used them against Frisk in the genocide route). But there where does his powers come from ? Humans can't use magic, and Ness isn't a monster. Also, if Sans was human, Asriel would have 7 human souls during his fight, and when he releases the souls, you can see there's only 6 human souls. Oh and he would have determination (logically). And Ness' durability don't seems to come from PSI either.

Assuming Sans is Ness just create too much plotholes. Toby is an Earthbound fan, so he knows the game a lot, i'm pretty sure if he wanted Sans to be Ness, he would have made it so that there wouldn't be any. I still don't get how MatPat, who stated many times that Earthbound is his favorite game, came to this conclusion.

Anyway, this theory is so ridiculous it became a SiIvaGunner meme. That's actually the only thing it's useful to lmao
