Nope…you have to play through story. Haven’t heard of anyone unlocking chars with Ryo (unlike the previous versions). The whole thing should take an hour and half if you speed run it and skip all the movies

Fuck man, switching characters mid combo…

I never knew I could feel this way…

How long was the installation time on the PS4?

I pre ordered digitally, so it was ready as soon as it was 10:00 PM.

Installation doesn’t take too long luckily

Old Man Sasuke is probably gonna be my main.

Here’s a match I had with an Obito yestrday…a simple Chidori can go a long way…

Have at least a dozen other matches uploaded, might post them here. Maybe I’ll make a section on the first page to post and display uploaded matches anyone wants to share. :tup:

Old Man Sasuke’s instant transmission Chidori is nice too. It’s the black chidori’s charged version.
Man you toyed with the guy, it’s really painful for him.

So far, what’s your opinion on the game ?

Yeah, I’m not sure which I like more. Vanilla Chidori is nice just cause it tracks a lot better.

So far?

It’s a damn good game.

Battles are a lot more intense now that they got rid of grooves and made the game more like Storm 3 again. I think the change in pace is for the better, Drive Types were fun while they lasted but every character just feels a lot more “full” this way. It definitely makes Singles a lot more fun than they were in Revolution, that’s for sure.

There’s a lot of small changes here and there to the system mechanics that I’ve been noticing the more I play. Grab techs are easier now. Specific Secret Techniques can’t be combo’d into through regular means. Hitting someone with a chakra dash sometimes adds pushback on the attacker, even if you put the other person in a stun state which is kind of annoying because it makes it harder to follow up with a combo. Charge dashing is really useful because it makes your dashes a lot safer on block and also adds more stun on hit. So on and so forth. Pretty much every change they’ve made to the game’s systems was for the better, and a lot of these changes were smart on a competitive level as well.

Of course it goes without saying that it’s a fantastic looking game as well. People just starting out on this series with 4 aren’t gonna be able to see the graphical difference probably, but you can definitely see a difference if you’ve played the older games. Not only in the detail of the models and environments, but also more minuscule details like unbelievable particle effects, dynamic lighting superior to any of the previous games and enemy counts that older systems wouldn’t have been able to handle. The fluidity of animation in this game is nothing short of amazing. Storm 4 still sits at the apex of anime-style cel-shading in video games, yes, even surpassing a game like Xrd in that regard.

Eventually I’ll make a big post giving my full impressions, I need to play a lot more .

Looks like my Deidara team is still broken as ever:

Was a lot more broken of a team in Revolution, but still pretty good in 4

A lot of awakenings are immunes to “Square” ranged attacks.

Really good battles. Some interesting tactics.

Good shit. I’m gonna have to post some of these rage quits I’ve been getting, shit’s too funny.

I’ve noticed this too, I think it’s a great change honestly. Makes Awakenings a lot more scary and unapproachable.

Unlockable string conversion.

Team BnB

6 Ragequits in one night, ouch.

First one is by far the best, dude got perfected and couldn’t handle it lol.

I noticed they removed most, if not all the UJ’s invulnerability frames.

A lot of them weren’t invincible to start with. I could probably name a dozen off hand in Revolution that got stuffed just from dashing into it.

I’m hearing this game got a fucking 5 on IGN? Wasn’t able to pick it up yet, so I don’t know what’s going on here.

It’s because the dude reviewing it felt the A.I was too dumb.

He also complained about not being able to find matches online.

…yup, that’s pretty much it.
