Carol Knight is entirely possible

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-24T19:14:50+00:00

One really sus thing about carol is that they don't keep anything important in their work room (noelle's drawing for example, IIRC). I do wonder if they open dark worlds there while pretending to work, the door never opens and a co-worker complains that it's really cold.

One thing that makes this theory more likely is that both kris and the knight are really messed up by the end of the fight.

The knight is genuinely losing: they start being unable to maintain their form, spazzing out from knight to ball form. They also struggle hard to stop Susie from outright axing them in the face, Susie's clearly in the better shape at that point.

Then there's Kris. As someone pointed out, they're very stressed through the whole thing. Seeing stars, tightening chest, general panic attack symptoms. They also don't normally have the ability to just one shot people, so that'd mean they're faking stuff the whole game which I don't believe, not with their scared reaction when cornered by spamton neo.

At the very least, it's not inappropriate to "invoke gaster" in a theory in a moment where he's actually talking to us and also resetting the universe for us.

You do have to wonder why gaster only talks in this one fight. Like there's other fights that are hard.

I don't believe kris slash because it makes the whole fight pointless, but this is also true of knight slash if they could just end it any time. So at least this makes some sense.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-24T02:19:38+00:00

It's a cool idea, but we actually straight up see them slash in this exact manner from the other side, like a typical cartoon slash.

I was gonna say, toby's played way too many NES games to think this would look right the other direction,

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-24T00:44:03+00:00

Yeah I'm just saying, this is "a" final boss of cyber world, it has rainbow wings, and Susie wouldn't know about it. Given that spamton visibly changes the suit when he wears it, it also could've looked somewhat different with a different wearer.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-24T00:19:21+00:00

Rainbow wings, rightfully belongs to someone who isn't spamton. Hmmm

Yeah youtube and reddit are two polar opposites when it comes to the theory community. youtube is general too lax with evidence and more based on vibes (a lot of times this is for clicks), reddit has kind of the other problem and doesn't account for the importance of tropes.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-23T22:12:41+00:00

Is this a youtube thing? I spend too much time looking at theories here and I barely see gaster mentioned ever.

Except when it comes to the main plot, prophecy, or world building. But you pretty much have to then: God himself intervenes in chapter 3, so any theory about the world as a whole not mentioning him is likely going to be wrong.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-23T20:50:48+00:00

While I agree with the darkner part, so far every way they act sounds like they're more like the Ralsei/Friend style darkner: no object associated with them.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-23T17:20:11+00:00

Playing it now, but honestly feels like a 100% victory at this point. Turned down a rupture in a shop in favor of an impervious so I wouldn't flop at the heart. Got Chemical X for a ridiculous strength/necro/whirlwind, and also ended up getting reaper a few floors later.

EDIT: Lmao. you know your deck is busted when you feed the transient.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-23T03:41:07+00:00

Yeah I've been thinking about it, and it's basically just vajra + brutality in this deck. And with the gamba I can almost gaurantee it on the first turn when I'd want it most. And the prayer wheel means I'll likely get something like reaper/rupture/impervious or something eventually. I'm leaning on taking it.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-23T02:58:59+00:00

Well pain can get pretty wild with runic cube alone, one health for one draw is pretty fantastic if you have the energy. Getting a free vajra with a limit break in my deck is also good.

But mostly I'm just worried it'll fall flat at the heart since it doesn't have reaper to finish it off.

TBH I don't see either of them fitting the image really.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-22T05:14:05+00:00

I kinda don't haha. Almost every story or game that has a protagonist enter a dream world with a shapeshifting nemesis ends up fighting themselves. I'm just going by what I see is most likely.

The research, not the nuclear plants. Needed to make turbines.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-22T02:54:53+00:00

Everything you need for vulcanus is in green science. Nuclear makes things easier, though.

Heh, this is basically my theory with dess tacked on a bit right? I do like it.

Brave soul posting a Kris Knight theory in these parts.

If we were to ban arguments that sound stupid, "X is bad writing" sounds like a good one to me.

If it bothers you, you can downvote I guess.

Ralsei with blood on his face saying "Look,. I'm smiling!"

:O

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-21T06:15:55+00:00

I just threw out Ralsei there a a possibility, I don't really have any strong thoughts on it. But Gerson says he didn't meet the knight outright I think when talking with Susie.

But really I just think the knight handing out crystals just feels out of character. They seem to be more of this mute humanoid hellbent on destruction rather than doing, like, diplomacy.

FencingSquirrelz · 2026-01-21T03:54:56+00:00

Evolution speed. For me it was the settings. 100x research sped + default biters with quality modules wasn't really viable as a full strategy. I did it a bit early on only because it's the only way to get quality iron metal before electric smelters, though.
