I have yet to play the game, but I’ve been watching some match videos. I have a question, though. Are Kisame and Zabuza top tier? Almost all of the vids on Willvolution involve one of those characters against some other random character, like say, Orochimaru. I may be wrong, but from what I’m seeing, Kisame and Zabuza are top tier. OTK Naruto is just broken, though. It’s just too obvious, and someone like him might stand a chance against the likes of CotA Magneto, ST Akuma, and SS2 Ukyo, among other broken characters. I read from this website (forgot name) that CS2 Sasuke wasn’t that good (site said that regular Sasuke is better), but how should I know?
I might get this game along with a boot disk when I get the chance. Will having JP files on an American memory card with US files screw things up? I don’t really know since I haven’t really played imports on the consoles. Other than that, from what I’ve seen, game looks like a step in the right direction for fighters (good fighting system+popular license=popularity). Also, this is old news, but they are finally beginning to release the GNT series in America, although they are waay too behind (they’re barely releasing 1 and you can import 4 which is better).
You should go to the forums at willvolution, they’ll answer your questions more indepth, but I’ll summarize some of it for you.
Zabuza/Kisame are pretty good, but not THAT good.
OTK Naruto is pretty retarded but you can interrupt his strings if you’re looking out for them.
CS2 Sasuke lacks a back+B autoguard attack. He has the up+A kick that sharingan mode sasuke has in place of it and can continue combos and some other stuff, but regular Sasuke is a lot safer.
And you can use any memory card, it won’t matter what region it’s supposed to belong to.
Kisame and Zabuza are just good, they’re just somewhat popular to use. OTKN isn’t broken dispite what people will say, he’s just got some good easy mode stuff. He requires mixup to land his stuff just as much as anyone else. CS2 is as good as normal Sasuke but for much different reasons. He has an excellent b+B as it’s a comboable teleport kick, pretty good guard strings and just being overall solid.
I hope to see a lot of MD peeps at this. This game is too good, me and others have been doing 3-cell VS, I’ve been playing Gaara/Shino/Jiraiya, Gaara seems to guard crush like a monster but I can’t really seem to find good stuff for Shino outside of mind games with the bug-cloud drop on wake into port-overhead. Jiraiya’s damage is monstrous though, so I hope I started off with a decent team…
What format do tournaments usually use to run this game though? Is it usually 4 man everyone against everyone or for this do they actually do 3-cell VS?
I don’t see how Super Naruto is tournament legal.
He has WAY to many safe strings, and is just overall powerful.
Then super Sasuke, we just ban him mainly due to the fireball glitch (but thats not the main reason). His fireball glitch can just happen on accident, seriously how did the programmers miss this?!
If people actually made a midstring delay guide for OTK naruto, people whould see he isnt as godly as originally thought, he is just flashy…This is a case of people just labeling chouji/shino top tier in GNT 3 all over again -_-, just play against him a little people
The only way that glitch happens is IF both people pick him, and even then they both have to do the super. At the same time. The trashiest super in the game in one on one.
The only viable time for that super to hit is during multiplayer, and you can only play one character each. I can’ t really see that super coming out, ever.
The glitch also happens when the other player picks Kimamaro and does the Down+X super at the same time.
Also, me and my friends were playing(4 players) and found this glitch. I was Gara and one of my friends was Kimamaro. We decided to co-operate and kill the other two, so he did his Down+X and I did gara’s Down+X (The sphere thingy). I was pressing Z to make Gara’s hit random and then the hit struck in the direction of the air, I mean straight up in the air. We were all like “WTF”, anyways I noticed that when Kimamaro does his Down+X super he dissappears, so I think the hit aimed at Kimamaro when I pressed Z alot. So, the Gara striking straight up was cause of the dissappeared Kimamaro.
Atleast that’s what I think happened.
Gah, I’m not really seeing how he isn’t broken.
Most of his strings are fast and safe and can send you into the air even when blocking. And once your in the air, there really isn’t much you can do.
Yeah, these vids are about 3 days old and just the other day when we were playing, instead of trying to Auto-Guard his j.A I realized that I could easily just side step it.
I’m still not too exactly sure when to air grab. I was told I have to air grab RIGHT next to the body, but there are times when my air grab would whiff and I’m lending on the body.
But its really only a matter of time until I learn.
OTK Naruto definitely isn’t broken… air kunai own most of his strings with ease. He has no true projectile, so he’s gotta fight close range, which means players like Zabuza/Kisame have a big range advantage. And his combos do have breaks for back+b. Not every character is gonna land it, but most can do it.
Mostly, you have to break up his rushdown game by keeping him at a distance, and then when he gets inside and starts spamming BBBA, BBBA, etc… just air kunai him on launch and you’re sitting pretty. You just have to play a really patient and safe game against him, but he’s definitely beatable.
Basically, he’s super n00b friendly and easy for bad players to pick up and look good. But at the high level game he’s just “good,” not broken.
Okay, after putting in some serious work in this game against people I SWEAR Kiba can start that one string, toss Akamaru twice, run up and juggle off of it if you’re quick enough. Can anyone help me prove this?
thanks.
