V.S Chara is a Friday Night Funkin' Game Mod based on Undertale, created by Soku (formally known as Hexar), originally a song by Rishimazza called "Megalo Strike Back
", based on the eponymous song by Toby Fox.
This page covers both the mod and a series of other mods/web animations inspired by it.
Needless to say, since all of them take place both in and after the ending of the Genocide Route and Undertale in general, only the spoilers from the mods/animations will be marked, so any spoiler from Undertale will be off. You Have Been Warned.
The original mod can be downloaded on GameBanana here.

V.S Chara strikes the following examples:
General
- Adaptational Badass: While Boyfriend dodges Chara's fast knife swings at him, a special mention goes to him in the Chino's Animated video, where he has an actual Knife Fight with Chara at Super-Speed.
- Adaptational Wimp: In J-Bug's animation and SnowTheFox's mod, Boyfriend doesn't dodge like in the other versions nor he fights back like in the Chino's Animated video.
- Adapted Out: In most versions save for J-Bug's animation, Girlfriend is nowhere to be found.
- And Now for Someone Completely Different: In the SnowTheFox remake, you also play as Kris in the pixel art recreation of "Hyperlink Reloaded".
- Canon Immigrant: SnowTheFox's remake also features a song from Deltarune, specifically from Seek's Cool Deltarune Mod, being a pixel art recreation of "Hyperlink Reloaded", where Kris battles Spamton NEO in the SnowGrave Route.
- Cerebus Callback: Boyfriend's Game Over animation, showing his skeleton with blue balls while he drops the microphone, is generally a funny animation which, according to canon, can even be revived by Girlfriend through... certain means..., plus it's mostly done because of him just losing a rap battle. In J-Bug's animation and AnotherNormalPerson's recreation, that same skeleton is shown after Chara kills him with their knife, and the microphone that he drops to the floor is covered with blood, all while Chara makes their trademark eldritch laugh.
- Darker and Edgier: Granted, it's far from the first time Boyfriend has battled twisted, murderous characters before (in horror mods or otherwise), but even then, all of these versions of this mod are so dark that puts Sonic.exe to shame. There's little to no funny or lighthearted moments, and you're battling a dreaded bloodlusted being who basically killed almost everyone, can easily screw your mechanics, can come back to life thanks to their determination, and breaks the fourth wall. Also, this is one of those few times where Boyfriend actually dies.
- Dead Hat Shot:
- In the old version of the original mod, the background shows Sans' hoodie, Papyrus' scarf, either the former or the latter's bones, Undyne's spear, Asgore's trident, and Flowey's corpse.
- In J-Bug's animation, only Boyfriend's bloody microphone falling to the floor is shown after he's killed.
- Death by Adaptation:
- In the J-Bug animation, Chara presents themselves by slicing Frisk before starting the battle.
- Both in that same animation, SnowTheFox's mod and Chino's Antimated video, Chara kills Boyfriend anyway.
- Dissonant Serenity: In J-Bug's animation, due to both being Fearless Fools, neither Girlfriend or Boyfriend react after Frisk gets killed before their very eyes, nor with their dead body laying on the floor.
- Knife Fight: The rendition by Chino's Animated shows Chara and Boyfriend Mickey Mousing using knives (plus other elements such as clones and actual game mechanics).
- Mickey Mousing: Chara attacks Boyfriend to the beat of the song in almost all versions, and in the Chino's Animated video, the both have a Knife Fight while following the song in the same vein as the same creator's animations Vs Whitty Fire Fight and Matt vs Boyfriend Boxing Fight.
- Villain Opening Scene: In the J-Bug animation, Chara introduces themselves by killing Frisk before meeting Boyfriend.
Original Mod Specific
- And Now for Someone Completely Different: You play as Frisk in "Petals" and "Tenacity", and as Boyfriend in "Fallen" and "Megalo Strike Back".
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Like in Undertale, Flowey shows his true colours after his friendly façade wears off to Frisk, in this case, after getting tired of the latter not singing at the beginning of "Petals".
- Elective Mute: Frisk decides not to sing during the introduction in "Petals", but is very capable to do it, as shown during the rest of the mod.
- Promoted to Playable: In comparison to the first version of the mod and the rest of renditions, where they're either killed (J-Bug's animation) or not shown altogether, Frisk is playable here.
- Recycled Soundtrack: "Megalo Strike Back" is the same song by Rishimazza instead of a remix or cover.
- Suddenly Speaking: Frisk sings in this mod, in great contrast with the original game.
