This is what i thinks when the inevitable happens when you first play undertale without knowing anything about it.When i first play it, i already knew about the thing with the fighting mechanic, so i didn’t get to experience this first hand. even i can’t even think about actually doing it ><so yea, i can’t bring myself to do genocide run.
I mean, beating them until they give in and can be spared DOES work for a ton of random enemies, too. But the game is very good at coaching you to find nonviolent ways to spare them instead.

Sans: “Hey kid I heard you had a BONE to pick with me. eheheheheh!”
Seriously if I have to wipe out all life to kill Sans, I will.
And it’s not even true, because for the rest of the game you never have to touch the fight command except for the final boss fights.
I think that’s down to the fact a frog in the underground (before you reach Toriel’s house) talks to you about Sparing monsters, and says that sometimes you need to get an enemy’s health to a certain level before you can spare them. So naturally people thought it was one of those kinds of battles… and then when her health is halfway she basically dies the next hit. A sneaky trick by Toby Fox again.
Now Undyne, on the other hand… (Seriously, that one went against every gamer instinct I have… which is likely exactly why Toby Fox did it that way.)

Including this. :^)
I am deeply disturbed by anyone who can manage a genocide run.
