Sans

UNDERTALE


He resides in Snowdin Village and later appears as the final boss in the Genocide Route. His backstory involves his brother Papyrus and their shared role as sentries of the Underground. Sans possesses mysterious powers, including the ability to manipulate time and space, hinting at a deeper complexity beneath his easygoing demeanor.

Gameplay Tips

  • Down B on Sans changes his bone type on certain attacks. White bones are stronger on the ground and blue in the air.
  • Down B on Sans in the air will briefly pause your fall. Be careful though, because repeat uses before landing reduce this effect!
  • In a pinch with Sans? Getting hit during a specific window of Up Special turns it into a teleport behind the enemy.
  • Down tilt, Up tilt, Up air, Neutral Special/EX, and Side Special/EX for Sans are all projectiles. Thats a lot of zoning!
  • With Sans, if any bone from Side Special is still active, using the move again will toss a singular bone forward.
  • Watch out Sans! Getting hit while Side Special is active will render the active bones useless!
  • Despite being quite the zoner, Sans also has a reflector on Side tilt.
  • Back air and Down air for Sans both become weaker after some time. If you want to KO with them, timing is a must!
  • The message in Sans' getup attack isn't just for show. The final hit sends downwards, perfect for use near the ledge.
  • Down EX on Sans will have him use the strongest bone type relative to the closest opponent, great for getting KOs.
  • Sans can cancel his double jump with an attack if he lets go of jump, also known as a double jump cancel.
