You use it to enter the house *next* to Napstablook's in Waterfall.

I'll take it.

(Part 2...) I entered the room and saw Mettaton. Suffice to say, I knew this wasn't going to be just any encounter. He told me he was sick of Alphys' predictable behavior, so he closed the door and I knew the thing was about to get real. Naturally, I entered battle.

He was not a pushover. I wanted to go further into battle but I somehow misinterpreted the bombs and thought that I had to shoot directly at them, without realizing they caused a lot of damage. The burn option didn't cause a thing, and I didn't understand the reference. Alphys intervened once more and helped me get him to turn around and press the switch on his back. So... I pressed it.

He turned into EDGY METTATON. I noticed the "rating" lines, which obviously meant that they would influence the match somehow. I noticed they were dropping, but even though I wanted to see what happened when I got them down to zero, I opted not to do it and so I went ahead and started Acting. It was a pretty dynamic and interesting match, which I liked, although it was somewhat hard. I died a couple of times, meaning that I had to go back and see the encounter again. Or did I?... I had the option to just cut to the chase and proceed to Edgy Mettaton, but I still selected the option that made me NOT skip it just to see what happened, and everything was on place like last time. I fired bullets at him from the get-go, but he bragged about his invulnerability. Finally I got to Edgy Mettaton again.

I Acted in many ways, seeing the many variables that were in the process of attacking him and making the views go higher or lower, one of which was eating certain foods. It was hard yet fun to shoot his heart, although a little creepy watching his limbs come off. I ate a couple of Glamburgers, which pleased the audience. Finally, after nearly dying and being at 8000+ viewers, I used the almighty Steak-in-the-shape-of-Mettaton's-face, which gave me a whopping total of 1400 points. Then I defeated him.

The calls started coming in. It was an emotional situation indeed. Mettaton decided to stay here, for his audience. When Alphys entered the room, I thought I was going to see a plot twist where I would battle her in her desperation, but fortunately no (I think that would've ruined her character, since she's so nice and reliable). But, she told me that it was not only necessary to have my soul to cross the barrier; a monster's soul was also necessary. I went back and saved, seeing the door unlocked again. I returned all the way to the lab, but it was actually closed (wow!).

I saved afterwards.

So I had a dream the other day, something I never told when 2B vs. Bowser happened IRL.

In my dream, after "waking up" the next day to check the results, it turned out that Bowser had barely beaten her by 50.9%, but 2B still went ahead to the next round instead of Bowser. She was beating her opponent by 52% IIRC, and unlike the previous rounds, she also had a really long name (supposedly her full name) in dark green letters, which was a reference to her color mix (white and dark green, as opposed to real-life's black and white) and it fitted her well.

Day 21: Phisically-preparing myself; edgy to the core
Time spent: 1 hour and... 20 mins.?

Do you have enough healing items?
You know...
Just in case.

So I went back to the hotel and bought some snacks there. I had 1044 Gold, so I could buy the "stake in the shape of Mettaton ('s face?)". Burgerpants sold out and he made it clear that he wouldn't put himself to do that again. "Okay..." I still bought some Starfeits (or whatever they're called), which was a big mistake at first and I'll shortly tell you why. I went to the dumpster-store once I misread B-pants' advice to "try to sell that to the girls". I went there, but they only gave me the Glamburger dialogue, so it wasn't worth it. I wanted to buy the "mysterious key", but I didn't have any money left. I needed to grind for some money, so I went back and forth to many points in Hotland, looking for enemies. I was close to dying a few times, but it was ultimately okay. Even then, I considered buying the cowboy hat and the gun, but then I quickly remembered about the oh, so powerful "temy armor". "Great, so I have a key, but I don't know where to use it". So before going back to the Temmie Village, I went to the hotel and spoke to the creepy-looking hand-instead-of-a-face attendant. She-- Ah, I mean, they said something about not having a key for myself, so if I wanted to get in again, I'd have to pay 200 G again. So that's what I did! But I tried my key to enter first and nothing happened. Once I payed my stance, I moved around the bed, playing to the rhythm of the catchy music until I got out of bed again.

I went back to Temmie Village, with low money (BIG mistake) and checked "temy armor". It was 750 G now. "Ugh... Not enough". So I backtracked to Hotland and grinded some more. Finally I went back to Temmie Village and bought the armor. It was... worth it, actually. It had a lot of nice characteristics. I quickly equipped it and went on my way.

I went to Snowdin to see if the key gave me access to Sans' room. It. Did. Not. I was disappointed, but at least Paps and Dyne were saying good-bye to me.

So I finally went back to the core, before the door of my next big encounter.

(Part 2 tomorrow...)

*goes away for 2 days*

*they discuss not only BYIG, but also a console contest*

I'm so proud of you. Years was like a breath of fresh air to me, personally speaking, since it was a nice little contest with no rallies. Sure, it had its flaws, but it had Guru, Oracle and whatnot to make it more fun.

I'd actually dig a console contest. Obvious entrants get in first, then we have a vote-in poll. I wouldn't be surprised if Atari 2600 ends up entering as well. It would be a good mid-contest for 2019, preparing for GotD2 in 2020.

@Advokaiser If you had read my analysis you would have seen that I said that Vincent was the first to beat a N9er indirectly. Meaning in a multi way poll.

Sorry, I missed it. Actually, the one I traditionally pay full attention to is KP's before making my bracket. I only see charmander's for fun or reference (since they're right here in the Stats topics), but I don't follow the Crew or the BOP.

I didn't quite have the chance to play today, but I'm still preparing myself.

What do I expect from this particular playthrough? Well, naturally I expect to see Asgore. And I don't think he'll be a pushover as Papyrus said. Like, at all. He wants my soul, after all. I expect to hear Hopes and Dreams now, although there's still this mysterious path to the ruins.

We'll see...

What's all of this "Vincent underperformance" talk? I'm not sure how strong he had to be to be "impressive" even, but didn't he go against Auron, which was the heavy favorite to begin with? He also went against one of CT's strongest characters.

About Zelda vs Snake, I's say he's completely fine. He's been in Smash and is now a returning veteran. Being in Smash is always helpful.

The one character in Smash I'm worried about is Cloud. After all, he may suffer from FFPF!

What other character can be more lovable than Kirby?!

At least half of the characters who were even in the contest for starters.

By "lovable" I mostly mean "adorable". Sure, you can like a character for being cool or badass...
