NOISZ ARC⌖CODA/Styles

NOISZ ARC⌖CODA features all of the styles present in NOISZ Ignition and NOISZ re:||VERSE except Infinity Style, alongside the new arcade-exclusive Exceed Style.

Parry

Parry Style differs from its appearance in NOISZ re:||VERSE, likely to account for NOISZ ARC⌖CODA's nearly always active Lethal rate. It takes the characteristics of a previous version of Parry Style.<ref>https://twitter.com/noiszgame/status/1148821430869667840</ref>
