F K Digital Releases Character Trailers for Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe

With the PlayStation4 update of Chaos Code coming to Japan next month, F K Digital have uploaded their first wave of character trailers, showing off the roster of their anime fighter. F K Digital had released an initial trailer showing off Otagi Hikaru a week or so ago, but they have now released six more character trailers. The roster ranges from hard-hitting cybernetic ninja Kagari, to bearded chef Bravo who uses giant woks and rotisserie chickens as weapons, to the bespectacled Hermes, who seems to use spirits similar to Stands from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure to fight. Still no trailers showing off Lupinus and Ray, the two brand new characters for Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe, but I expect F K Digital are putting some footage together of those fighters as you are reading this.

Check out the trailers below and await more information on a Western release of Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe in the near future. With a new Chaos Code coming in 2017, as announced as this year’s Toushinsai, expect F K Digital to be trying to crack the Western market sometimes in the new year.

Use Urien’s EX Knee Drop to Set Up Left/Right Mix-Ups in Street Fighter V

While there’s been a lot that’s been written about Urien’s mix-ups, especially with his Aegis Reflector, not as much focus has been given to his EX Knee Drop. While most are aware of its use as a decent pressure tool, most players are just content to leave it at that.

In the video below however, Rotbah demonstrates how the EX Knee Drop can be used to set up a tricky left/right mix up. After a crouching heavy punch into heavy punch Metallic Sphere fireball combo, players can do EX Knee Drop and control where Urien lands by holding forward to land behind their opponent, or nothing to land in front.

The interesting thing about this set up is that, wherever Urien lands, he’s perfectly primed to beat 3 frame jabs with a meaty crouching heavy punch. Now, while the latter move is unsafe on block, Urien can still cancel into EX Metallic Sphere to keep himself safe, while also putting him at the perfect distance to punish most crouching jabs.

Check out the mix-up below.

Here’s a Steve Aoki Interview to Help Fans Get Pumped for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2’s Launch

Get ready for some rockin’ Dragon Ball jams!

Today, in the ever expanding Dragon Ball timeline, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 releases throughout North America for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Bandai Namco also released an interview with internationally acclaimed DJ, Steve Aoki, examining his work in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

Aoki discusses his humble beginnings in anime, including his involvement with an anime club during his college years. The DJ also elaborates on his favorite characters, with Goku being an “obvious” choice, but also praising Gohan for his development in the Cell Saga.

Aoki finds himself extraordinarily humbled to be a part of Dragon Ball history through his music in Xenoverse 2.

“It’s a dream come true,” says Aoki. “How could I tell my fourteen-year-old self, that I would actually have a song in a video game?”

The DJ’s work on Xenoverse 2 includes remixes of  Dragon Ball classics like “Cha-La Head-Cha-La” and “We Got Power.” Players can also expect to find Aoki as a non-playable-character within the actual game.

Be sure to download the free Steve Aoki pack to take advantage of these features.

It’s time to defend Dragon Ball history again!

To celebrate Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 even further, Bandai Namco released a launch trailer that showcases everything the epic sequel has to offer.

The launch trailer should prove helpful to those who are still on the fence on whether or not to invest in the title. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will release later in Europe and Steam on October 28. The Japanese version will be sold on November 2.

A season pass is also available for purchase for those looking to get more out of their hyper-fighting game. The pass includes four additional content packs as well as early access to Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Super. Also from Super, Frost and Kyabe have been confirmed as the first two characters to be added to the title through future DLC.

Day One editions give players access to Goku Black, so those wanting to take advantage of the character should pick up their copy as soon as possible!
