I've already explained in this thread that Chara's knowledge of character stats is just as flawed as her thinking the Monster Candy was licorish-flavored.

Taking a look at his actual attack, however, it's true that he can only deal 1 damage. It's the lack of invinicbility frames that makes this a big problem, because it turns into 1 damage per frame. Don't JUST look at how hard the fight is, look at the specific mechanics of the fight itself. Get into the details on how the fight specifically works. As you said, the small details matter. Every little small mechanic, every formula used.. Let's perform a scientific experiment to derive the mechanics of battle, alright?

Chara flat out describes Sans as "the weakest enemy". An indefensible argument. And how could Sans take 999,999 points of damage if he only had 1 hit point?

Same way Asgore took 999,999,999 damage when he has only 3,500 hit points. You can take more damage than you actually have in HP, but the extra damage simply has no additional effect, since you still die anyways.

So we can recognize when the only logical explaination that Sans would take 1000x LESS DAMAGE than Asgore from the same attack is that Asgore is a monster.. and Sans isn't.

OBJECTION!

Mettaton NEO takes less damage than Sans does. So does Undying, actually. By that reasoning, Sans is weaker than Undying, and thus, cannot be a human. So, it's not that Sans is stronger, but that we were weaker at the time. The damage we deal increases as we progress through the route. I mean, look at how much damage Chara does to the world at the very end.

So really, this is inconclusive.

Again, though. If Gaster was indeed a human, what's to say Sans didn't take Gaster's SOUL when he supposedly killed Gaster? A repeat of Kanashi? (placeholder name for the monster depicted in the Waterfall glyph prior to Asriel)
