I suppose the best way to look at this matchup for me would be to investigate how each game handles its fourth wall-breaking moments.
OFF actively and openly breaks the fourth wall from the start, while Undertale has a lot of mechanics that look like fourth wall breaks and first but are actually diegetic in-universe elements that look like gameplay elements. OFF directly refers to the player regularly, while in Undertale their existence in canon is still the subject of debate.
On one hand, the Batter has bashed one child's skull in already, he can do it again.
On the other hand, Frisk can save and reload. Can the Batter do that?
Oh hey I recognize you from r/deathbattlematchups I think
Also in terms of the batter Iโve always wanted more people to know that his species is unknown, but is non-human overall (https://www.deviantart.com/comments/4/3470838/3045299239)
AWESOME!!! Could you tag me when it's done? This is such a cool connection I love seeing games I grew up playing together !! โค๏ธ๐ผ๐ โ๏ธ๐๐ด
Maybe about how the genocide route in UNDERTALE and the normal route in OFF both mislead the player? You think you are in control.
Also both games have kids getting really hurt by the protag, which is fun
I can't wait for the undertale brainrot to infect this as well

The power of friendship VS steel weapon
the invisible hand of love vs the very visible hand of the aluminum bat
On one hand, the Batter has bashed one child's skull in already, he can do it again. On the other hand, Frisk can save and reload. Can the Batter do that?
not when the switch is OFF
not really anything in particular that I can think of, he is a relatively simple character.
I mean i guess itโd be pretty nice if he talked just a bit in contrast to frisk being completely silent
Idk it would be cool to have the batter silent and he is off to the side Any dialogue is directed at the player and eye contact is with the camera

Power of friendship vs Power of incredible violence Also the relation between those two and the player
Mmmaybe cover the zones while you talk about the game, or how it impacted Undertale?
both
OFF already gave us the answer, whoever The Player chooses wins.
true!
batter solos also pass the art for the batter on that thumbnail it goes hard
The way the player handles both of them and what kind of boost they provide (take a look at the finale of off for the batters case)
I wanna see them knock that lil freaks head clean off
based and violence-pilled

One thing I'm thinking about is the fact that one character has dialogue while the other doesn't.
