Strategies/Usages
Super Galaxy Comso's long range makes it really useful against long ranged enemy. Use it as a pure boss attacker. It's 100% knockback against floating and angels helps against Bun Bun, The Face, Cyclones, Crazed Lizard, Manic King Dragon, Crazed Bird, Manic Flying, THE SLOTH, Camelle, Angelic Sleipnir, and Nyandam. You can lure the enemy towards Cosmo and use meat shields. It can miss if it stops and tries to hit peons missing. Also when a boss like THE SLOTH, Bun Bun, or Camelle is knocked back and it's resting, Cosmo can run into their range using the hit box glitch and loses health (Don't fire the Cat Cannon or use your Sniper at wrong time). Super Galaxy Cosmo a very underrated uber, but when used correctly, can really helpful for those tough enemies.

To reiterate, users of Super Galaxy Cosmo should really be careful about when to use the Cat Cannon. If you fire the Cat Cannon while he is not attacking, he will charge into the enemy and get killed. If you use the Cat Cannon while he is attacking, he will easily miss his target. Time your shots wisely!
