Chaos Code/NSC/Celia
Introduction
At first glance, Celia looks like an ordinary high school student who is into Gothic Lolita fashion. In truth she is the first of the professor's androids created to protect the Chaos Code from intruders, but he decided it was best for her to have a normal life. One day, the professor suddenly vanished without a trace. Confused by his sudden disappearance, she sets out to look for him.
Run vs Step
Run
Celia has a special type of run which lets her hover for a brief period. Choosing run gives Celia easy overhead and good high-low mixup opportunities. It also helps her combo her throw successfully in the corner.
Step
Celia's step isn't like the conventional step where normals can be step canceled. Step canceled normals are sacrificed for simple movement options. Similar to run, she can high jump out of her step by just pressing up, and her step can be feinted with any button or directional input.
Combos
Always keep in mind that anything that ends with 5D can give Celia some good okizeme opportunities. After a hard knockdown, 236+K, 214+K, or any of their EX versions is something you'll want to do for additional pressure, mixups, or confirms. The choice is yours.
Meterless
Blade Stroll
- Midscreen
2A>2B>2C>214+Cx3
Run of the mill midscreen rekka combo.
- Corner
2A>2B>2C>214+Ax3>5B(2B/2A/2C)>214+A>Delay 214+Ax2>[623+D]
Rekka loop in the corner which requires a few delays. Any high jump cancelable normal can be used for the OTG pickup, some are tighter than others. Welcome Boost (if you chose it) can give you some extra damage, but you'll lose your oki opportunity.
2B>5C>6C>214+C>Delay 214+Cx2>2A>214+C>Delay 214+Cx2>5B>214+A>Delay 214+Ax2>[623+D]
A slightly more advanced loop than the previous combo, with an above-average amount of rekka delays. For an alternate route, you can use 5C>5C>6C as a link.
2B>5C>6C>214+C>Delay 214+Cx2>2A>214+C>Delay 214+Cx2>5B>2C>hjc>j.A>Delay j.C>j.D>j.B>j.C>.j.D>j.A>j.B>j.C>j.D>j.214+K [j.623+P]
Same starter as the previous combo, but this one requires a rejump. This combo is one of the most damaging you can do without setups. As with the previous combo, you can also alternatively use 5C>5C>6C as a link.
Prankish Whip
- Midscreen:
For the following, you can use either Charming Splash (j.214+K) or Aerial Invitation (j.623+P) as a combo ender.
2A>2B>2C>236+P>6P
A short and sweet combo that ends in a hard knockdown. If you have Run and the opponent is knocked down midscreen, you'll be able to create a left-right mixup by just hovering before he/she wakes up.
2B>cl.C>6C>236+C>4P>6>5B>2C>hjc>j.B>j.C.j.D>j.214+A [j.623+P]
A combo you'll probably find yourself performing if you're running Prankish Whip. Easy and effective.
2B>2B>cl.C>6C>236C>4P>6>5B>2C>hjc>j.A>Delay j.C>j.D>j.B>j.C>j.D>j.C>j.D>214+A [623+P]
Celia's Prankish Whip rejump combo. This combo is a bit strict, but very satisfying to execute. If you wish, you can add some extra normals on the double jump if you're in (or once you carry to) the corner.
- Corner
2B>5C>236+C>4P>6>[5C>236+C>4P>6xN]
Prankish Whip infinite. It may look simple to pull off, but Chaos Code's input buffer will laugh at your suffering. There are a few more ways to start this, but the one listed is the easiest. You'll eventually end up out of the corner due to the pushback, but you can just put yourself back with an Angelic Wing (2141236+K) to continue.

Special Moves
Celia has a special ammo gauge which must be monitored at all times. There are 6 stocks in total. The ammo gauge only refills after all stocks have been depleted. Special moves that consume stocks of the ammo gauge can not be used during it's cooldown period. The cooldown time is approximately 10 seconds. The EX versions of ammo consuming special moves does not consume ammo.
| Mischievous Missile - 236+K (Air OK)
B and D versions have no real differences besides slight momentum shifts on startup. Both versions consume one stock of ammo. EX version is two missiles. |
| Aerial Invitation - 623+P (Air OK)
Standard anti-air, but not reliable as one in most situations. Can be used as a decent air combo ender. A version hits once. C version hits 3 times. |
| Blade Stroll - 214+Px3
A rekka with good range. Ideal ground combo ender. C version has better distance, but slower startup. The last hit on both versions is a hard knockdown with OTG properties. Counter Hit:
|
| Charming Splash - j.214+K
Celia's go-to air combo ender. Hard knockdown with OTG properties. D version has slower startup, but a better hitbox than the B version. |
Prankish Bomb - 214+K
|
Extra Specials
| Welcome Boost - 623+K
Celia sprouts a pair of butterfly shaped energy wings from her back and rushes forward. B version hits once and leaves the opponent standing. D version hits 3 times for a techable knockdown |
| Prankish Whip - 236+P>6P or 4P
A whip with good range. The 6P followup hits 5 times and is a hard knockdown. 4P followup pulls the opponent closer to Celia, and is one of the best choices for a simple and effective air combo starter. |
Ultimate Chaos
| Vanishing Gift - 236236+P
Celia holds a bomb in her hand and lunges toward her opponent. Hits once and does a fair amount of stun damage. |
| Bashing Rain Extreme - 236236+K (Air OK)
A barrage of missiles is unleashed from Celia's dress. Good for exceed air combo enders and fullscreen Chaos Shifts. |
Extra Ultimate Chaos
| Dangerous Company - 214214+K (B+D to launch options)
Celia summons 6 mini-celia options from her dress, each with a different facial expression. Can be very useful during pressure strings and is even a good corner combo extender. The mini-celias can only move forward. Active for 10 seconds. |
| Angelic Wing - 2141236+K
Celia's best reversal. In previous versions it had full active invulnerable frames, but was removed to make baiting it a bit easier. Even without invulnerable frames, this move still has to be punished in a specific manner. It's Chaos Shift point is only during the ascend. Can also wallslam and is her ideal exceed air combo starter. |
Destruction Chaos
| Surprise Formation - 2363214+PP
Celia rushes forward. On hit she turns her arms into blades and spins on her head. When the opponent is knocked forward, she teleports and knocks them in the air with a giant scythe. She then proceeds to juggle her target in the air with a different array of weapons. The final blow is a beam which is shot from her dress. 13 hits. |
