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.

Kidrobot x Street Fighter V Figures Now Available

For anyone who is a fan of collecting Street Fighter themed memorabilia, you’ve got another set of figures to add to your list. Kid Robot has launched a new line of Street Fighter figures, including a 7″ Hot Ryu, a 7″ Akuma and a blind box mini series for all of the original cast of Street Fighter V.

The Hot Ryu and Akuma figures are self explanatory while the blind box series has collectors receiving a random World Warrior when you open up a box. You can buy a pack of 20 in one go to increase you chances of getting that rare Karin or R. Mika figure but with each figure being $9.99 a pop, it’s quite a costly investment to get the whole set. As mentioned, there are no DLC characters like Urien or Guile in this series, it’s just the original 16 fighters from the vanilla version of Street Fighter V. The Hot Ryu and Akuma figures cost $49.99 and would act as a decent stocking stuffer for any fighting game fan this Christmas.

You can purchase the figures over on Kidrobot’s website and check out the gallery below to have a quick glance at the figures before you consider clicking “Add to Basket.”

Danish Sends His Enemies to the Shadow Realm in This Ganondorf Combo Video for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

As a former Ganondorf main in Smash 4, I’m always delighted to see a combo video which pushes the King of Darkness to his full potential. Infamous for having the hardest hits but one of the worst neutral games out of the whole cast, getting Ganondorf to work in the current meta is an absolute nightmare. So, when someone like Danish creates a montage which shows the beefy evil wizard dunking on opponents, it brings a tear to a ex-Gerudo’s eye.

This combo video displays the strengths Ganondorf does have if he gets going; insane damage output, easy edgeguards with reverse up-air, soul crushing suicide kills with off stage Flame Choke and footstool combos which guarantee death or a broken controller for your opponent. While you’re probably never going to see a Ganondorf in top 32, let alone top 8 of a Smash 4 major, you can still marvel at his raw power in combo videos like this.
