CHAOS CODE (PSN): "Secret Character Variation"

It has been my experience with fighting games over the years that some developers love to hide hidden features, or characters with the constructs of their game. Seeing that FK Digital's "Chaos Code" was inspired by such 2D fighters I decided to check out the game's roster more closely, and see if I could find any hidden characters. Surprisingly enough I have found one such character based secret, and knowing the developer there may very well be other secrets hidden for us gamers to find. As far as the character secret goes it is basically a variation of the pervy "Hikaru". Every anime fighting game with any hint of humor will always have such a character in their roster. It never fails. Even so, this new variation known as "MG Hikaru" takes perverted to the next level.


Hikaru, for those of you who don't know it is a male character from the "Chaos Code" roster. He reminds me a lot of "Kyo Kusanagi" from the 'KoF (King of the Fighter)' series, especially with the looks of his stance, and outfit. Some of his features even hint towards "Iori" of the same game. Regardless of his undeniable similarities "Hikaru" is mainly known for his somewhat acrobatic move set. While these mostly ariel based specials hint towards the previously mentioned "Kyo Kusanagi" origins they are still unique to this particular character. Aside from looking like a badass onscreen though, Hikaru also has a touch of anime nose bleed humor associated with him. Before each round/match begins the pervy anime lover referred to as, "Hiakru" will often times stare lustfully at the female characters with bulbous eyes, and even talk trash to other certain fighters. His flirtatious nature definitely shows through in these shortly animated pre-match intros.

As far as the secret/hidden "MG Hikaru" variant goes he mainly looks the same as the previous version of the character with some different color palettes, a new selection of special attacks, a more perverted character portrait, and an extra pervy pre-match intro. Unlike "Hikaru", "MG Hikaru" has attacks that seem to be more like EX Kyo's, or that of "Iori of the Flame". His punches are heavy, powerful, and slow as is his double sweep attack. He also seems to have some feints thrown in for good measure as well as some specials that help him to get past projectiles. The most significant change aside from the attacks, and specials though is his pre-match intro/taunt. When up against a female character, or certain other characters 'MG Hikaru' will let loose his pervy full body anime pillow (complete with a sexy image, no less), and drop it upon the ground. Even his roster portrait shows off his pervy nature with a half naked female anime figure posed in the doggystyle position gripped firmly in one of his hands, and raised triumphantly in the air.

In order to access this secret character variation all you need to do is press "LEFT" on Hikaru's character icon in the character select menu. This will bring up a picture of his alternate pose, and by following up with one of the appropriate button presses (TRIANGLE, SQUARE, X, CIRCLE ...) you'll get to play as "MG Hikaru" in one of his various color palette swaps. It's a simple little secret, and it would not surprise me if there were more hidden secrets within the game. Keep in mind that fighting games of the past have used different methods for unlocking secret characters/character variations, and that just might be what FK Digital has done here. I'm sure the Japanese arcade goers will definitely have a better clue as to what was hidden than myself though.
