Knives jumps into Scott's arms and kisses him! Suddenly, confetti fell from the sky...It was their wedding day! Knives looked lovely in her gown. All of Scott's friends were there to see...Scott was very confused.
~ Knives Chau's ending

Background

Knives Chau is one of the main characters of the video game Adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs the World, which is being released during the Holidays of 2020 by Ubisoft. She acts as an assist character to the four playable characters, but can also be played. Her moveset is very similar to that of Ramona Flowers.

In her ending, Knives is shown at her wedding marrying Scott, showing her affection towards him, which is further seen by her "LOVE" assist move when summoned by Scott. However, in Kim's ending, a reference to a scene in volume four of Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Knives and Kim Pines are seen holding hands while walking into the sunset.

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Martial Arts (Has several martial art techniques from games such as Street Fighter), Acrobatics, Weapon Mastery (Can utilize anything around him to be an efficient weapon such as trash cans, glass bottles, and even boxes), Breaking the Fourth Wall (Is aware she is in a game), Cartoon Physics, Fire Manipulation and Explosion Manipulation (Her attacks and projectiles create small flames and explosions), Text Manipulation and Paralysis Inducement (Can stun her foes by saying love), Size Manipulation (Can increase the size of her throwing knives), Statistics Amplification (Various food and drinks grant minor stat amplifications. Defeating more foes will boost Knives's physical powers for a brief moment), Healing (Knives and her friends can use their special points to regain health), Transmutation (Can turn people into money (and sometimes animals) upon death), Summoning and Soul Summoning (Can summon her mother and father along with a spiritual monster similar to the movie), Resurrection (Has extra lives that allow the characters to revive), Regeneration and Life Absorption (Low-Godly; Can steal a life from characters and reform from just her soul), Supernatural Resilience (Can survive having her entire body burnt to a crisp and regenerate just fine), Sheer Will (Those who can access the powers of Subspace in the real world naturally require a strong will and determination to control them), Subjective Reality & Dimensional Storage (Whatever the user can imagine will be created in subspace. For instance, Scott manifested his love for Ramona as the Power of Love, which he can pull from and store in Subspace), Portal Creation & Summoning (As the powers of the characters originate from Subspace, they can create portals or summon beings and objects from their subspace), Dimensional Travel and Space-Time Manipulation (Characters can manifest doors directly to subspace, or even move between subspace and the real world through sheer force. Breaking the walls between subspace and the main universe), Resistance to Fire Manipulation and Electricity Manipulation (Takes minimal damage from having her body burnt and being electrocuted), Pain (Can endure pain to the entire body), Space-Time Manipulation and Mind Manipulation (Unaffected by Crash and the Boy's music, which can bend space and time and force entire crowds unconscious)

All previous powers and abilities to an unknown extent. Abstract Existence (Idea, Primordial Source), Regeneration (Low-Godly; Subspace avatars are avatars of pure cognition[1] of one's true self and by extension can be restored by the true form at will[2]), Immortality, Supernatural Resilience, and Unconditional Time Travel (Life and Death Immunity; Concepts such as death are irrelevant to subspace avatars/dwellers as even if one dies[3] they will just be sent into subspace[4], with spirits being able to freely pass through and from Subspace. Immortal Metaphysical Aspect; All damage done to a subspace avatar means nothing to their true self. Someone like Scott could lose his limbs in subspace and be cut in half and would still be perfectly fine[2][5]. Reliance; True Self/Person; As the creation(s) in subspace ultimately have no major consequences on the real world self, the subspace avatar can be endlessly created[2]. Even if subspace itself is destroyed[5], the true self can simply restore it as well. Subspace avatars are avatars of pure cognition[1] created by one's true self and by extension can be restored by the true form at will[6], regardless of the damage they succumb to[2]) Alternate Replacements (Due to Subspace being an entire space-time continuum directly tied to the user's mind[7] mind subspace is therefore directly linked to the user's entire life, allowing for numerous versions of the same being to exist simultaneously[5]. Furthermore, psychic energies can traverse through the timestream to the present era, further suggesting that mental figments of one's past self can travel through the timestream), Acausality (Irregular Causality; Subspace is a different space-time where all rules are different (including death[4]), thus it should by extension be a different system of causality), Enhanced Perspective Manipulation and Observation (Unconscious Manifestation and Conscious Manifestation; Perception is Law. People, items, and Mind Subspace itself are based on the nature of the person's mind, therefore, however, a person imagines Subspace is how it will appear. A good example is Scott's Dream Desert[8]: this location is repeatedly used as a metaphor for Scott's loneliness but also is his projected image of Subspace at that time which Ramona is able to pass through[8]), Law Manipulation (One’s subspace operates under their rules[9] and systems[6] which can extend even to the real[10] world[11] with characters like Gideon affecting Ramona’s Subspace), Reality Warping and Mind Manipulation (Mindshifting; While Mind Subspace allows for others' own projected images of themselves to take on other forms[5], the individual whom the Subspace resides in retains all power and control within said mind. Through this, the character can shape themselves and Subspace to their liking all through their thoughts, perspectives, and desires), Power Nullification (A user of Subspace can completely nullify any connection an opponent has in that Subspace, regardless of if they're more powerful or not. This is how Ramona was able to expel Gideon despite him being a master of Subspace and able to manipulate it inside anyone's mind[5]), Dimensional Travel and limited Possession (Subspace users can unconsciously and consciously enter their subspace avatars[7], even after dying[5]), Power Manifestation (Gideon Graves was able to create the Glow from subspace[5] and use it to directly counter mind subspace[5])
