PS4 Version of Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe Coming to Japan Next Month, with “New Chaos Code” Coming in 2017

Chaos Code is an anime fighter which may have slipped through the cracks for many. The gameplay is in-line with traditional anime fighters but the original Chaos Code on PS3 in 2013 had no online, which hampered the game’s popularity. Modern fighting games rely heavily on netplay to build the scene, so lack of online play for the original Chaos Code hurt its growth.

However, a PS4 remaster titled Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe looks to bring this forgotten fighter to a new generation of players. A list of PS4 Trophies was recently leaked and over the weekend, we have news that the remaster is set to release next month in Japan, with two new characters called Lupinus and Ray.

The team at FK Digital also showed off a trailer for a project simply titled “New Chaos Code” at Toushinhai 2016. It features four new characters with one of them appearing to be an alternate form of Cait & Sith, with both Cath & Sith sporting new outfits. You can check out these four characters in the gallery below, as well as Lupinus and Ray from the PS4 release of Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe. The new arcade Chaos Code is set to release in 2017, so plenty to look forward to if you are a fan of the series.

Land Early Kill Combos with the Stun Jacket in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

A ported over glitch from Brawl, Marth’s Counter has a unique property that if you whiff a Counter against certain disjointed moves, you can then stack the hitstun from the whiffed Counter onto Marth’s next move. The additional hitstun gives Marth more time to follow up with a move like a tipper F-Smash, resulting in possible early kills.

In Brawl, this technique wasn’t that useful as it only really worked against moves like Falco’s Reflector and Ike’s Aether. However, with the addition of Bayonetta who can throw out a long disjoint with her Bullet Arts, Marth’s Stun Jacket becomes very useful in that matchup. By countering Bayonetta’s Bullet Arts, Marth can stack the Stun Jacket for his next move, leading into heavy damage combos, which are demonstrated in the video by Rising VeXx found below.

This Stun Jacket tech is not specific to just Marth however. Any character with a counter similar to Marth’s — Palutena, Roy, Ike, Lucina, Greninja and even Bayonetta herself — benefit from the Stun Jacket and can stack the whiffed Counter’s hitstun onto their next move. Do keep in mind that the Stun Jacket is reset if the enemy connects with a multihit move like Bayonetta’s Up B or if they pummel you when you are grabbed. Do note that Little Mac, Shulk, Corrin and Lucario do not benefit from the Stun Jacket due to the unique properties of their Counter move.
