Something I noticed after a botched Genocide Run...
Has anyone notices that the 6 human souls correspond with the attack items found in the game? For instance; the Toy Dagger and the Old Dagger match the first soul you 'fight' when you are up against Flowey. This trend continues from there; hands representing the hard gloves from Snowdin, the ballerina shoes and the notebook in the Waterfall caves, the Frying Pan in hot land, the empty gun from Bratty and Catty. Each represent one of the souls.
It causes me to think... They were human beings too. They just... You know. Didn't make it. But I like to consider what kind of characters they might have been. It's sad we don't learn more about them.
Try playing the snowball game in different ways. It gives you some hints on their personality.
"Ball" is "Small". You waited, still, for this opportunity... then dethroned "Ball" with a sharp attack.
You are the kind of person who rushes fists-first through all obstacles.
Hopping and twirling, your original style got you through.
Even when you felt trapped, you took notes and achieved the end of "Ball".
Your care and concern for BALL brought you a delicious victory.
Your sure-fire accuracy put an end to the mayhem of "Ball"
It's you!/It's me, [NAME]
Yeah, a few of them sound like they botched a genocide run. Especially the glove guy and ballerina. The toy knife one sounds like they did a pacifist up until Asgore and screwed up the final fight.
Judging from where you get the gun, the cowboy probably got killed by Mad Dummy since ghosts are immune to physical attack and thus bullets.
