With the launching version of Chaos Code, subtitled “A New Sign of Catastrophe” on the PlayStation 4, it’s a good opportunity to brush up on techniques or jump into a new game.

Hikaru makes a good starting point for Chaos Code. As the protagonist of the game, he tackles opponents with a well-balanced playstyle which includes a fireball and a shoryuken move, in addition to having good conversions and corner-carrying potential.

Here are a few examples of tech and combos:

A powerful combo that uses Exceed for maximum damage.

Depending on the resources, those combos can be broken down to end earlier and get a knockdown.

For a more basic guide on how to approach the game, we have a general Chaos Code tutorial.

In the world of esports, sponsors are very important contributors to players and fans alike. With a good sponsor, a team can afford to compensate its players for events, travel, and even living expenses. All of this lets players spend more time honing their skills, bringing a better and more refined game overall to as many tournaments as they can.

Mineski just recently wrote an article discussing the necessity of unusual sponsors in esports. Team NP, a primarily DOTA 2 team, recently acquired a FYM Hot Sauce sponsorship, which some are questioning as unusual. The article goes on to point out Hot Sauce isn’t that abnormal a sponsor, as other food-related companies like Coca-Cola and Doritos having dipped their toes into the esports scene in the past [not to mention Red Bull of course, and to a lesser degree, Bud Light – Editor]. Sponsors like this also allow esports teams to expand and cover multiple games. A good example of this would be Evil Geniuses, which has players in Dota, Starcraft, Halo, and Street Fighter.

While the primary focus of the article is traditional esports, the fighting game community should be paying attention as it continues on the esports path.
