Talk:Pearl vs. Undyne/@comment-28385902-20170129022459/@comment-30891571-20170131153003

Actually, allow me.

Considering that Undertale's monsters are all superhuman to some degree or another, the argument that Pearl has better stats just because she's a Gem is invalid.

Pearl's clones... okay, I admit that that should have been covered, and it probably would have led to Undyne getting mortally wounded faster. But against Undyne the Undying, that advantage flies out the window. Considering that her Undying form matched Chara, someone with the strength and Determination to wipe out everyone in the Underground, most of Pearl's basic attacks would be overwhelmed. Just watch a playthough of the Undyne Genocide boss-fight, and imagine that little red heart is a 9-11 year old child on par with Naruto at that age stat-wise (hint: her Determination would be the rough equivalent of his Chakra).

Finally, Pearl's 1000+ years of experience wouldn't necessarily prepare her for someone like Undyne. Especially since she's spent so long relying on her teammates.

For someone who uses such a basic form of magic and weaponry, Undyne is extremely OP.
