Itachi.SM Naruto.Sasori.Kankuro.Kiba
top 5 (no specific order)
IMO
I never see anyone playing with Kankuro, but I imagine him doing the Chiyo thing and waiting for the other person to attack to counter with an ultimate. I hate that.
I think I lost matches in ranked probably 30 out of 600 and most of them were hell bent on the fact that I like kakashi and lars… and saying your gonna rush someone down in this game is complete crap when I can just mash the triggers on my controller and zoning is pointless when you can pretty much avoid everything by tapping A twice…
Player matches or ranked doesnt mean a thing I try to find people with like 9999999999bp and wipe them because I know how they got those points and are currently sitting at top 100 in the leaderboard…
Sasori, Chiyo, Itachi, Sm Naruto and Kiba rule this game… If you question why I could show you
quoted from a kank player I know:
There ARE other tactics outside of the laming out shit with the KnJs, but sadly that tactic overshadows everything coz its too fuckin’ good and a braindead tactic.
No you can’t, man. We’re on different systems.
I guess there are Kankuro players out there, but after over eleven hundred ranked fights I can’t remember any.
Anyway, I have a story that I’d like to tell.
I was looking on Youtube for someone good at UNS2 to play and came across [media=youtube]kBf_9neHVM0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL"[/media].
Now before you start flaming the players, know that they are part of the same clan. They were infighting to see who was the strongest so they played particularly inartistically. You’ll notice both players picked the cheapest character they could (Naruto), and waited for rasengan opportunities between throwing charged shiruken; it wasn’t cute, but I wondered how my skills would hold up against such clammy gameplay.That’s when I issued the challenge.
I picked Deidara at first to study his movements from a distance if necessary, but he waited and counter charactered me with Shikamaru. For those of you who don’t know, Shikamaru has a explosive tags that cut through Deidara’s birds. When I saw Shikamaru I already knew what to expect. Explosive tag spam. True to my expectation, he pressed nearly nothing else, which is ok as it made him easy to beat.
I made a few amateur mistakes and had some big upsets like not blocking the first rush, but there was a little delay to our fights which is what I think caused him not to be able to react fast enough to follow it with his ultimate. At 50 counts he did the juggle he’d been waiting the whole fight for. At 37 I was so busy charging I didn’t notice the storm gauge had filled, and I waited too long to hit him during his tech recovery. At 22 I could have messed him up real nicely, but I was sure he’d call Itachi in the air, but he didn’t (that intuitive weasel). I got defensive after that because he had his team jutsu ready. Being that he was only using one attack, there was no way I could lose this [media=youtube]XYfGufqOHlI&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL"[/media].
In our second [media=youtube]5St8J8HLUS4&feature=related"[/media]I expected him to wait in one spot waiting for the chance to rasengan Lee, but to my surprise he kept throwing fuma shuriken. When I whipped out the taijutsu he used a rasengan miss, and it cost him most of his chakra in the first ten seconds! The next 30 secs were filled with me using all of my chakra trying to get close, and him running/charging until his storm gauge filled; so I gave him some space; then mine filled, and he did the same. Then he used his all again (no surprise), and in the last 6 secs he lands the infamous rasengan. I laughed at him throwing a punch the last second just so he could say that he did, but I guess he’s got his pride to consider; losing to Lee with Naruto is kind of a sore spot for most people.
We had a third fight, but Tenten raped him so hard I don’t blame him for not posting it. I’m saying he didn’t even take a throws worth of health. His defense is hard to get through, but once you can, he folds.

Looks like I’m playing this game for a bit again until my copy of Arcana Heart 3 arrives. Oh and Leed, in case you’re still interested, the person who made the video included the URLs of two UNS2 communities in the beginning.
Ichipoo! I bow to you! I had no idea you could jutsu cancel into an ultimate. This is incredible!
There have been times when I played a match and tried some interesting set ups which it all seemed legit. Then I go into a next match where some people literally knj EVERYTHING I throw at them, so I have to resort to standing a slight distance away and spamming kunais to try to run down their chakra, so I can rush them down. But then support gauge kicks in and it’s: “LOLZ GIMME MA FREE CHAKRA!” or “BLOCK/DODGE MY ASSIST SO I CAN CHARGE CHAKRA!” or “I’m low on life…CAN I HAZ FREE CHAKRA?..SUPER SAYIAN MODE!..LOLZ DAT FREE DAMAGE!”. It’s gets to the point where I’ve gotten their chakra so low that it looks impossible knj another attack, yet they do and I get punished.
Even though UNS1 was a broken mess also, it was way better than this game. With the exception of Itachi (who was pretty much just to troll with imo) no one had overly broken shit going on. I used the 3rd Hokage on point with orchimaru blade dance assist and Gai hurricane assist. Pretty sick, I used to use Oro in block strings, used him to combo into flame bombs or the 3rd’s Ougi which locks chakra after it hits, so I can have that intense rush down period. When me and my friend used to play, there was much less turtling since creating pressure did not equal death.
Excuse my rant.
UNS1 gave infinate chakra during rage mode, required no chakra loss to attempt ultimates, and if you think rushing jutsus like rasengan and chidori are bad in UNS2, you must have forgotten how insane they were in UNS1. And yes, there were characters that could chakra dash into ultimates in UNS1 also. Try it with Tenten or Gaara and you’ll see.
Basically the big difference in the two was online play. Everyone was beating their 3year old brothers and thought they were good at UNS1. Then UNS2 brought online play in, and they got served; so now they hate UNS2, and love the good old days when they could win. At least that’s what I think because there’s no way UNS1 was less broken than UNS2. I think they changed a lot to make it less ridiculous. I mean unlimited chakra and ultimate attempts? Seriously? How can anyone defend that?
They both suck.
Although in UNS1 Chakra dash didn’t cause recoil and gave frame advantage when it was blocked so you could actually aggro in that game alot better.
Itachi is beyond ridiculous in the first game though. WAAAAAAAAAAAY more stupid then he is in UNS2.
Some of that did look interesting, especially Orochimaru (it looks like his were meant to do that to begin with). I wouldn’t think they’d be useful in an actual match against someone who just KnJs the combo, though…
Jutsu Cancelling looks neat and very troll, too. Especially with those nice, 50%-ish stuff.
It’s unfortunate about the game, though. The vid is nearly null and void thanks to the broken defense mechanics.
1 at least had a few more options. Chakra Denial was actually worthwhile/possible in the game (Seal Tag, a few ougis, KD attack). 2, however, is so out of character with that particular strategy (characters that you would think be good at it aren’t, such as Neji)…
I think the highest ranked NA player mains Neji. I beat him before but he’s solid. He can link his ultimate to his throw with no assist. If you play him don’t beat him; he’s the biggest cry baby on the network. He’ll just go on and on whining about how you should have lost, he’s much better than you and:blah:. Seriously though, chakra sealing is not cool unless every character can do it. I think Itchi, Temari, and Hinata had it in one, but if you think people turtle too much now just wait until you take their chakra away. What are they supposed to do then?
Go on the offensive (in 1 it was quite possible to do that) or just sit there like a chump and wait to be guard crushed.
And every character had varying amounts of access to chakra denial, before assists.
1 was still broken, though. “Oh hai my name is Kabuto I gives out free ougis lol :P”
I stared at that comment for too long before I got it. 
:wonder:
You’re right, Kabuto is good for that for just about everybody, but he is midrange so you have to close a little to use him like that. Oh wait, you can just wait for the other person to do rush you. Well, I don’t fight many Kabuto supports. I’ll have to tell some of my regulars to pick him so I can experiment.
Pretty much the way around Kabuto is that to expect the ougi and be ready for the minigame… and then hope you’re better at it.
It’s been a while since I played 1, but I remember the Wall being a huge problem in the local tournaments. Heck, most of the DLC assists were overpowered in one way or another… I think one tourney just outright banned DLC assists at one point.
Because in UNS1, ougis were slow as shit,easily avoidable, and you had a chance to escape them if they landed. If you tried to repeatedly bust out ultimates, you’re getting punished anyway so it didn’t matter if they were free to try. None of this shit like in UNS2 where if I’m Minato, and you throw a kunai, I can punish on reaction with a pre-charged ougi (WTF?). Also, rush jutsus like rasengan had slower startup so teleporting behind a whiffed intake of breath did not equal free rasengan all the time. Fully charged unblockable rasengan was easily jumpable as well, although, meaty unblockable from fox mode naruto was a BITTTTCHHHHH LOL. I used to troll with that shit all the time.
There were tournaments? I wasn’t on the scene back then, but that’s amazing to hear. I gotta go searching youtube for a video of one.
Never heard of the Shishi-Rendan community?
Look up FullArmorBass on Youtube. His account had videos of the ONLY NUNS1 tournament their community had ever.
The ones in my area were much more localized. And part of it was an attempt to get a scene in the first place… it still hasn’t quite worked.
Is there a place to like, learn advanced strategies and techs on here? lol
