Now I know what you're thinking, and that is, what do I think about sans undertale in Smash? This issue is multifaceted, there is a lot here to address, and I couldn't do it in only a few posts. That's why I'm going to make it the topic of this week's thread.1/27

First and foremost, Smash expresses a dialectical tension at the heart of our contact with art in this day and age. At once, we yearn for a more extreme demonstration of creative freedom, a more spectacular displacement of formal boundaries with each new artistic creation we encounter.2/27

But on the other hand, we yearn for tightness and cohesion. We want the worlds constructed by art (and the construction of worlds is all we have come to expect from art at this juncture) to *make sense* in a way our world doesn't. But because we have been conditioned to avoid genuine philosophical considerations, this "making sense" takes the form, not of thematic cohesion, but of "worldbuilding coherence". 3/27

@garfiald @jimpjorps Undertale was originally the stereotype of a self-publisher indie darling, with Toby Fox doing most of the work himself and with its anti-violence message that asks the player to reconsider their relation to video games. Sans’s presence in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, a game developed by one of the video game industry’s juggernauts with a generic premise of violence, shows how capitalism subsumed rebellion: Sans himself is positioned as the ultimate enforcer of morality, the hardest fight in the game and the final obstacle on the No Mercy run, yet inside the commodification of Smash he’s been reduced to just another fighter. Furthermore,

In short, we do not want art to tell us something new, we want it to show us something familiar and graspable.Smash attempts to resolve this contradiction. It is an infinitely expanding vehicle of excess, through its grandiose roster of some of the most recognisable characters in videogames and pop culture. But it is also deeply uncreative, as it condenses these individual creations, the games and stories these characters are taken from, to a character skin in a barebones fighting game.4/27

Smash is therefore the ultimate subsumption of our creative instincts into the uncreative form in which art has come to be absorbed into the capitalist productive world. Art's capacity to bring us into contact with what Georges Bataille called Limit-Experience is repackaged into a quantitative, rather than a qualitative operation. We can play as and encounter an infinity of characters, but within a finite and highly limited framework.5/27

What is Sans's place in this? As @hierarchon very astutely pointed out, he represents, first and foremost, creative freedom in the face of capitalist uncreativity. His absorption into Smash is therefore yet another index of capital's capacity to absorb and commodify all oppositions to itself.But this is just one side of the story.6/27

For there is Sans, the undertale character, but there is also sans the cultural figure. Sans, the undertale character, is a symbol of conscience, or absolute morality, with which the player character is confronted with the fact of their choices. Sans undertale, the cultural figure, is something else entirely.7/27

I think that here the ironic perception of sans as a cultural figure is more instructive than the sincere one. As he appears in humorous material, sans undertale is used to deride the so-called "undertale fandom". What does this "fandom" stand for precisely? Some would call it "cringe", but I would prefer to call it: naiveté.8/27

What we see at work in the undertale fandom as its popular critics like to portray it is a naive belief in the purity of art in a capitalist society. One of the most widely cited sins of the undertale fandom is its aggressive behaviour towards people who follow the genocide route in their videogame of choice. Yet, is this attitude not precisely encouraged by the game itself? As we know, taking the genocide route permanently restricts the paths a player can take in further replays.9/27

So what the game tells us is, "your actions are not consequence free". Why would we blame undertale fans for acting upon this, I'm sure you'll agree, highly agreeable moral? The greatest sin of undertale fans was to believe in the honesty of art.10/27

To see the character that represents this, the central message of undertale, subsumed into the emblematically amoral machine of smash is not a service to fans of undertale. It is a service to people who have an ironic position to videogames and art in general, and who helped spread the meme of "sans in smash".11/27

And that is, Sans in Smash as a cultural event. The absurdity of wishes that were brought into the world as nothing more than an ironic joke being realised in the extreme cultural artefact of smash brings us, for a single precious moment, in contact with the limit, as the grandiose ridiculousness of everything is brought before us in this flash of videogame crossover hell.14/27

There is a strange sense, when we see this happen, of being shown the full extent of our power. Corporations which have successfully alienated us from ourselves, the most inhuman of human creations, have successfully taken over artistic creation in such a way that we increasingly fail to see said creation as a "human" act anymore. And yet.15/27

Here they are these behemoths, that are so unlike us, reflecting our own image back at us. "You want sans in smash?" a voice beams down from the heavens, "there it is". In a world where creation is impossible, a joke we'd made up about that very impossibility is suddenly brought into being. Irony bleeds into sincerity, truth into falsehood, fiction into reality.16/27

In a way, Sans in Smash is the consecration and the undoing of Sans himself. If he symbolises the absolute facts of our moral decisions that we must all reckon with, then his incarnation in Undertale falls sorely short of our ideological reality, in which "responsibility" is not absolute, but rather engaged in a slippery dialectic. And his appearance in Smash cements the death of this signification for the character.19/27

And yet, Sans in Smash DOES make us face the truth of our responsibility because it proves that even the things we imagine to be furthest from our control (ie which characters nintendo puts in smash) are in fact very much within our sphere of influence. We have lost all belief in change, and yet when it does happen, it was all our fault.20/27

When the dust has settled, and Sans shows up in Smash, and we play as him, and lose, a sense of bathos begins to set in. This isn't what we asked for, it isn't what we waited for. Or perhaps it is, but we didn't realise just how insignificant what we were asking for really was. The unbearable lightness of reality makes itself known to us.21/27

Naturally, I believe the latter. Creation is possible. Sans in Smash shows us this, because we, collectively, created this extraordinary event. But the forces of capital are doing everything in their power to make said creative events impossible. What are we left with now, but to become sans?23/27

Videogames radically alter our rapport with fictional characters because they make us play "as" them. This takes the standard critical issue of which character we "identify" with into previously uncharted territory. It is impossible to identify with Sans in Undertale, not just because he is a purely allegorical figure, but because we cannot play as him. But in Smash... in Smash you can play as Sans.24/27

And this expresses something which Undertale failed to adequately explore. If Sans is the symbol of absolute morality, of conscience, then we do not encounter Sans when we die, or on some abstract plane, or even in our own heads. Sans is everybody else. Our moral absolutes are created by the society we live in.25/27

And now, with Sans in Smash, we can become this symbol of conscience, of accountability, of moral rectitude. Yes, we are being judged for each of our actions. But we are also the judges of everybody else actions, we bring moral reality itself into being. It does not merely suffice to do good, but to decide on what good is.26/27

And so this whole exaggerated exercise ends, like the saga of Sans in Smash, on very little, on close to nothing. How is it possible that so much, that such a brilliant artistic creation as Undertale could be successfully swallowed into the soulless monolith of Smash? This is precisely what we must learn to prevent. We must rebel against the decreative order, that collapses something into nothing. We must carry our somethings with us, and bring them into being. By becoming Sans.

@garfiald Sans is the closest thing Undertale has to both player-peer and divinity, and accepting him as a smash character is, as you say, the destruction of his meaning.In this way, the act is an act of human sacrifice.The Christian angle is obvious: Sans, divine and human, must be sacrificed in order to pave the salvation of humans, here meaning Sans as issue is destroyed to save indie gaming.However, the Anglophone has not truly escaped its Germanic history, and the blót. At the blót in Uppsala, the sacrifices are for the gods yes (capitalism here), but the trees from which the sacrifices were hung were imbued with the divine as a result of their participation in the sacrifice. While yes, Sans is being sacrificed to capitalism, Smash (the trees here) gathers more divinity to itself by being the site of sacrifice.

@garfiald I feel like the maximalist nature of many Nintendo games (specifically the 3D Mario games, like Super Mario Galaxy) is one of the major selling points. These games actively work to not limit you in the way most video games do. Also, I don’t think Smash is chiefly a fighting game. I’d say that, first and foremost, it is a party game, and that idea, bringing people together in a party, can be seen clearly in the game design.

@garfiald although I’ve got to say your thread is a perfect metaphor for Sans in Smash. Arising from a joke, it became more real than we ever could have hoped (feared?)

@er1n @garfiald you think that the mighty Garf would dare "yank the chain" as it were of their audience?
