“	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 Reactive 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.

Can survive having her entire body burnt to a crisp and regenerate just fine), Immortality Negation (Type 3, 6, and 7. Can kill zombies from the graveyard along with characters like Envy who can reform from a puddle as shown later in Scott's ending), 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.

All previous powers and abilities to an unknown extent. Regeneration (Low-Godly. Subspace avatars are avatars of pure cognition of one's true self and by extension can be restored by the true form at will), Immortality (Type 3, 5, 6, and 8. Subspace avatars are avatars of pure cognition of one's true self and by extension can be restored by the true form at will. Concepts such as death are irrelevant to them as even if one dies they will just be sent into subspace. Even spirits can freely pass through and from Subspace. All damage done to a subspace avatar means nothing to them, Scott could lose his limbs in subspace and be cut in half and would still be perfectly fine), Acausality (Type 3. Subspace is a different space-time where all rules are different (including death), thus it should by extension be a different system of causality), Perspective Manipulation (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: 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), Law Manipulation (One’s subspace operates under their rules and systems which can extend even to the real world with characters like Gideon affecting Ramona’s Subspace), Reality Warping & Mind Manipulation (While Mind Subspace allows for others' own projected images of themselves to take on other forms, 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 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), Dimensional Travel (Can enter her avatars at any point if she so desires even after death)
