Overview
A simple guide based on my observations while playing the game in Solo mode and the occassional unmanned 2nd controller for testing. The aim is to desecribe the effects of each character’s abilitiies.
Introduction
This is just a simple character guide on the (currently playable at this moment) eight characters in the game Super Knockoff! VS.
This is not a strategy guide on how to play the game or how to use these characters in battle. Currently, this is a guide to describe the basics of each playable character and their abilities to give players a rough idea on how they want to use their desired character.
Also, these guides are made based on my own observations in solo play and additional use of an unmanned 2nd controller, so there may be some mistakes made on my end during testing.
All characters and series mentioned belong to Team Four Star and Action Panel Games.
Miyuki
Miyuki is a magical girl who wields the Arctic Staff and the main character of Floating Girl Miyuki.
- Arctic Staff: Miyuki uses her Arctic Staff to fire a projectile that can be detonated to create a small explosion with the Weapon Pickup button.
The projectiles can also explode upon hitting an enemy or on the third block after destroying or passing through two different blocks.
The explosion will knock around Miyuki and any enemy caught within the explosion radius but the explosion will not damage Miyuki.
- Manuever: Float: This ability enables Miyuki to float, slowing downwards descent. Float has a duration, which drains upon use until Miyuki is on a block, which refreshes Float’s duration.
- Ultimate: Sparkle Snowstorm: Miyuki calls down a rain of giant snowflakes from above that can feeeze enemies when hit. However, the Snowflakes cannot pass through any obstacle or destory any breakable blocks.
Tachibana
Tachibana is a ninja who works a part-time job and the main character of Tachibana: Part-Time Ninja.
- Shuriken: Tachibana throws 2 high speed shurikens that cannot be reflected. It is similar to the laser but will stop at and destroy the first breakable block it hits.
Shurikens cannot pass through indestructible blocks.
- Manuever: Shadow Teleport: Tachibana can instantly move to a targeted location. This high mobility manuever allows Tachibana to get to locations without the need to break blocks or risk engaging enemies.
While teleporting, Tachibana may randomly leave behind a bomb that explodes, catching enemies by surprise.
- Ultimate: Overtime Shadow: Tachibana creates a doppelganger that follows Tachibana around and copy whatever attacks Tachibana uses, including any weapon that Tachibana picked up, effectively doubling Tachibana’s firepower.
The doppelganger cannot be hit.
Jiro
Jiro is a pilot of a powerful robot known as a Massar in the series Massar: Lost Children of Venus.
- Missiles: Shoots a missile. Can be charged to shoot up to a maximum of 5 missiles. Missile cannot pass through unbreakable obstacles.
- Manuever: Jet Pack: Jiro uses a jet pack to fly. Jiro will lose fuel the moment he jumps. The fuel will recharge when Jiro is safely on a block.
Note: Take care when while flying with Jet Pack because pressing jump again while using Jet Pack will use Jiro’s second jump before the fuel is emptied.
- Ultimate: Liberation Volley: Jiro unleashes a barrage of missiles.
Judai
Judai is a First-Year student in high-school in the series Match Champion -Rebirth-.
- Sports Balls: Judai throws different types of balls. Each ball has a different effect and damage.
Balls range from Tennis Ball, Baseball, American football, Soccer ball, Basketball and Bowling Ball.
When Judai’s Sports Balls hit an enemy or a block, the ball will bounce for an additional two times, potentially hitting other blocks or enemies. However, Bowling Balls will last for an additional 4 bounces.
- Manuever: Faster and Extra Jump: Judai gains an additional jump, enabling him to jump up to three times instead of two.
- Ultimate: Hasha Zone: Enables Judai to throw only Bowling Balls for a short duration.
Hasha Zone also resets his jumps if they’re already used in the air, enabling Judai to jump three more times while still in the air. However if Hasha Zone is used while Judai is on a block, he does not gain the jump reset.
Driver
Driver is the Prince of the Suryns from the series God Machine.
- Psy Blasts: Driver fires 3 projectiles at a chosen direction.
- Manuever: Power Dash: Allows Driver to dash in a chosen direction and can break through breakable blocks.
if Driver uses Power Dash through bomb blocks, he will not be affected by knockback from the explosion, but he will still take damage.
Power Dash cannot pass through unbreakable blocks.
- Ultimate: Torque Blaster: Driver unleashs a powerful map-wide laser. The direction of the laser can be slowly changed after it is fired.
If Driver uses Torque Blaster while in the air or the attack removes any breakable blocks Driver was standing on, he will remain in the same position until the attack ends.
Saito
Saito is a stage actress who dreams to be a prince in Dream Catcher.
- Blade Slash: An attack that fires a short-range slashing projectile. The slashing animation can reflect bullets (but not lasers or Tachibana’s shurikens) at enemies.
- Manuever: Rose Grapple: Saito fires a grappling hook that can pull Saito to a block or an enemy the hook manages to hot.
Rose Grapple has 4 charges that are consumed upon each use, but will recharge every time Saito is safely on a block. Rose Grapple cannot destroy breakable blocks.
- Ultimate: Curtain Call: Fires a short-range projectile, which upon hitting an enemy, Saito will teleport to the enemy hit and land an instant kill.
Curtain Call’s projectile can be reflected by another Saito but the reflected projectile will not have the instant kill effect.
Ace
Ace Carder is a gamer who is forced to play the mysterious Divine Game to save his Grandmother’s soul.
- My Grandma’s Deck: Ace throws a card that creates a Bataboom that explodes upon enemy contact or after a short amount of time.
The Bataboom can be summoned early using the Weapon Pickup button.
The Bataboom won’t appear if the card hits an enemy or obstacle.
Bataboom explosions will knock Ace back, but they will not damage him.
The Bataboom cannot be reflected, but if Saito’s reflect hits the card before the Bataboom is summoned, the Bataboom will be summoned as one of Saito’s projectiles and it will damage Ace if he hits it.
- Manuever: Card Platforms: Ace can create a temporary platform of three breakable blocks underneath him. The platform will automatically break after a small amount of time.
Note: These blocks can be affected by the Sudden Death block transformation, turning them into bomb blocks which can explode once the temporary platform expires.
- Ultimate: Twilight Sorcerer: Ace summons the Twilight Sorcerer who will unleash large projectiles that can destroy block and pass through any unbreakable blocks in the direction Ace chooses.
Once summoned, the Twilight Sorcerer will stay at the location Ace summoned him.
Because Ace only needs a single Ultimate Charge to summon Twilight Sorcerer, it is possible for Ace to summom a second Twilight Sorcerer on the battlefield if he picks up an item that gives him a single charge to his Ultimate after summoning Twilight Sorcerer.
Cosmo
Cosmo was a robot created by the Super Scientist Prof. Tenshi in the series Cosmo Kid.
- Glitch Beam: Cosmo shoots a powerful laser.
Cosmo also has an added effect to any weapon that he picks up, giving the weapon one extra ammo and boosts the weapon’s damage.

It’s possible for Cosmo to get trapped within a group of blocks when Phasing’s duration runs out.
