Kakashi Guide

Hi guys, I’ve been looking all over this place to find some pointers for Kakashi, who I’d really like to “main.”

Is there any chance someone could provide me with a few tips (setups, good combos, “ideal” support chars) on how to approach Kakashi as a character in UNS2? Does he even have the potential to beat the top tiers?

+His aerial combo is one of the best I’ve seen IMO due to how quick the initial hit comes out, best if it’s short hopped
+If they block the first hit of your short hopped aerial combo, you can option select into a grab and it’s almost “seamless” IIRC
+Since his grab leads to a knockdown, that gives you an opportunity to play wake up games, might I suggest using Raikiri to punish a mashy and/or impulsive opponent?
-Kind of hard to have his ougi hit from a Strike Back.

No, he’s pretty bad in this game. Aside from his Electric Dragon Jutsu (which is pretty bad), he has no long range potential, so at the end of the day, he’ll have to be up-close to deal damage. Problem is: his up-close game is lacking too. He can’t combo into Raikiri efficiently and Raikiri’s startup is too slow to be auto-corrected to be safe from KnJs. So in the end, Kakashi is always unsafe when he attacks.

Best way to play him, in my opinion, is to have 2 combo breaker supports by his side. The likes of Rock Lee, Hidan, Kabuto and Pain are all good assist that will keep you safe from up-close KnJ wars. Having a Guard Type assist in there is also beneficial because for one, Kakashi doesn’t take advantage of double Strike Back (Raikiri knockdowns, Mangekyou has a funky hitbox, and he doesn’t have Flame Tags as items) and two, it will prevent you from eating double Strike Backs yourself.

Also, his awakening is nothing special, so you can’t count on it to turn games around ala Itachi and Naruto.

I came across some german Sasori player today, who had about 260 wins and no losses. Glad to say I became his first loss. Of course I got a msg with him blaming it on lag when it was on a blue connection with no lag. He didn’t even get my health down to 75% percent lol. I dunno how he’s managed to keep beating people with that Sasori.

At least he didn’t ragequit? :sweat:

In your dreams

Thanks Ichipoo and Kazuhiro for your in-sights regarding Kakashi. I will keep your advice in mind. Much appreciated.

No problem.

So I’m having trouble pulling off Hidan’s Chakra Dash > Ougi combo consistently. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it comes out too slow, any pointers?

do it as soon as you see the opponent stagger, i personally mash triangle as soon as i c.dash then just hit O when i see the opponent stunned >.>

Haha it works! Thanks!.

I’m sure some of you know about this but after a few minutes of playing online today, I’ve found that when you aerial tech from a certain attack in a string such as Sasori’s finisher in his up string, or a jutsu/support such as Sakura’s Cherry Blossom Clash or Lars’ Zeus, you’re vulnerable until you hit the ground? Just a few minutes ago I was able to tech punish my opponent with ougis after they tech from Sakura’s support attack. Needs more testing though.

Does anyone have tips for playing as Jugo? Normally I use Hidan and Kakuzu as my supports.

you do know that they can just mash Block to KNJ from whatever you’re trying to do right?

seriously, the KnJ system KILLS this game’s potential, even i mash R2 whenever the opponent is somewhat close or i feel theyre about to attack coz its basically a free get out of jail card, it makes mixups/combos/okizeme/grabs/setups/everything obsolete.
if the KnJ-ing had stricter timing like RB, or maybe took more chakra (around 1/5), or maybe even a certain KnJ stocks ala Blazblue Bursts the game would be MUCH more solid and might actually be worth a shit.
whats even more annoying is the game’s retarded “community”… the game’s engine is CLEARLY broken, why are you complaining about spam when its the only legit way to win?
“I disconnected coz you kept spamming your puppet moves and used an infinite (double strike back combos)on me, you didnt deserve the points…”
“the story mode totally warrants the sucky VS gameplay, its the whole point of the game anyway”
“puppets are OP, all they do run way spam and grab!”

fuckin’ dumbass anime tards… i swear just talking to these type of people makes me feel dumber.

That’s why I’ve given up playing this game if it’s not with friends. It doesn’t matter how hard you try or study this game, there’s only one way to win. It’s not even worth it.

That may be true, but the way I see it is that the less attacks a combo or a set up has, the better chances I have of pulling it off. ie: [Sakura Support > Ougi] = 2 hits.

What did you expect? most of the people playing are merely fans of the anime who most likely have no experience of how fighters are played at their “highest level” which results in their sense of what’s cheap and not being horribly inaccurate.

meh, i was expecting a game like GNT4 or NA2… guess i was aiming too high :confused:

Indeed you did ;3

And my God, and I thought GameFAQs was full of scrubs, just check out the Hokage’s Room forums.

“I disconnect spammers because I think they don’t deserve the win.”
^ Well maybe if you would stop getting hit with the same fucking shit over and over again, they wouldn’t deserve the win.

"Itachi’s Susano’o awakening is so OP"
No shit Sherlock, that’s why you get in on his ass whenever he has low enough health to awaken.

“I disconnect them whenever they pick Deidara”
… Really? Lrn2Rushdown plz

Lmao thats where the quotes in my previous post are from xD

Hi there. I’m using a move that CC2 put in the game THEMSELVES over and over again, and by using a move that they PURPOSELY put in the game over and over again, I’m considered a scrub and I should never use it again in order to avoid ridicule. Also, I’m also considered a scrub whenever I use the same move to punish my opponent’s mistakes, even though it’s their fault for falling for it. Thank you for preaching to me how to play my game in which I paid $60 for.

Are you sure we’re not talking about SSF4? All of this sounds familiar.

XD

So I decided to post around at the HR forums to troll a bit in this thread: Hokage’s Room: Official Fan Community for NARUTO Video Games by NAMCO BANDAI Games America, Inc.

Fuckin’ lol’d. Eternal Blaze, you’re right, actually trying to talk some sense into these mindless anime tards can really retard one’s IQ. xD
