Papyrus, if he were ever to fight sans, would crush him. Hands down. In, of course, a scenario wherein he didn't go full Chara mode, which is super unlikely. If they were as they were in the game and put into a fight match, (to the death) I think Papyrus would absolutely win. Sans can't do you that much damage AT ALL, most of his damage comes from Karmic Retribution, guilt, THE SINS CRAWLING ON YOUR BACK! What freaking sins does Papyrus have, the guilt of having not touched all those nothingnesses? I'd wager he's actually on LV 1, who was he going to be fighting in Snowdin? Yeah, sure, he trains with Undyne, but that's not exactly going to make him a bloodthirsty murderer. They'd fight, sans would consecutively deal not too much damage, and even when Papyrus was on low health, he'd just heal and get them both back to square one. sans would keep dodging, until a while in, when he wouldn't be able to anymore, and Papyrus would be able to kill him. Feel free to correct me if you think I got anything wrong.

Also Papyrus might even be able to get him early game with those super annoying attacks that you keep expecting to come from the right, but then when you're at the left of the screen it collides with you insantly and catches you off guard (sorry, I'm a bit annoyed by this attack.)

ANYWAYS. Actually put a headcanon in, haven't done that since I joined the thread. Good for you, Asriel, good for you. I HC Paps as being, actually, super-deadly, but his morality and innocence hold him back. Like, he's above and beyond LV 20, but he's mentally LV 1. He doesn't have a capacity for violence. If he DID... it'd be a far different story. Sans' battle would look like a Ruins puzzle compared to an angered Geno Papyrus fight. It'd literally be on the same level as the final boss of Touhou.
