I just wanna throw out that there was a Narutimate Accel 3 announced… for the PSP. It has 4 player battles and can be played online through AdHoc-Party or Xlink Kai.
Hey! You mastered those MVC2 combos yet?
Good. But didn’t the assist system ruin the game? Unless they banned it. I haven’t been to ShiShi in a long time.
Assist system is banned. You could do some really silly shit with them.
For example:

I thought something like that would happen. I discovered some pretty stupid things with assists myself when I first got the game.
well if this is true and not saying your a liar cause i have not kept up with the game since i stop playing naruto gnt4, im really gonna buy it. imo gnt4 was the best one with all the mind games. i played itachi my other two friends played one tail naruto and kisame. we were the best in the state but i know florida was really big on gnt4. gnt4 was the most competivity of all the naruto games at the time i was playing it. didnt know ppl were playing the other naruto games seriously nice to see an alternative to fighters. the only thing i didnt like about ngt4 was that i couldnt play it on a stick:lol:
My current fav is Naruto Shippuden Accel. (No not 2)
is it easy to set up?
But you like playing games that have some nonsense that can ruin it. Just saying.
I recall you saying that you wanted nothing banned in some game. Whether it be infinites, unblockables. Whatever. You really didn’t like the thought of banning anything. I forgot the reason but that I remember. Like if you ran a GG tournament based upon your beliefs you would let EX characters, Justice and Kliff be legal. Doesn’t matter what they might ruin.
I could of sworn that was the case. It’s been a while since I played the games. Now I remember, chakra rate in NH3 is slower than NH2 (wow, that is fast chakra recovering rate).
That is kinda the beauty of the series. It is all about the chakra management. It makes senses when others say that it is viewed as a 2nd health. If it’s gone, you are going to be infinited.
Yeah, Neji’s Byakugan powerup is nasty. Not to be messed around with.
Yeah, except for the Orochimaru/Kabuto team, I don’t know what else makes the assists broken. Maybe except for the fast recovery rate of the assist meter.
I’ve even mentioned this in some topics around here. Unless said characters don’t dominate the entire cast, I don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t be used. Now if we where using the arcade machines, then it should be arcade only of course.
Depending on the school of thought there are 4 ways to go about this.
GNT4, EX3, Accel 2, or Ninja Storm.
GNT4 has 3 Man Cell Tag Battles. More games in the series should’ve had that option.
EX3 is the step up from GNT4 and it has the Shippuden characters.
Accel 2 is the latest version of the Hero series on PS2. Everything here is cool except that balance is raped by a broken assist system. This is the latest version until 3 comes out on PSP.
Ninja Storm is an excellent 3D representation of the Hero series. Hopefully this becomes a series all its own and adds more characters. And it shows Accel a thing or 2 about assist balance.
I would say Ninja Storm, the AI in the hardest difficulty is a great challenge and the game is fun. Not to count that is one of the most amazing looking Cell Shading games out there.
I agree with ya man. I think this might be tied with DBZ Burst Limit’s Cel Shading.
Burst Limit put me to sleep. Budokai please.
Not that bad, i guess, its still better than that BT garbage.
Burst Limit made some odd decisions. No energy drain on non fully charged specials? Really?
Yeah, I did find some decisions to the game engine a little weird. The best entire in the Budokai series I would say is Shin Budokai Another Road/SB2. Overall, really solid game engine.
still trying man. i have execution problems because I dont have anyone to play against at home. I’d go to the arcade every day, but im broke. I do try to learn some combos, but my timing is off and i lose confidence fast from time to time. I need a coach.
…sigh… :\
Ninja Storm is the best one i’ve played thus far. So many possibilities and kool combos. I don’t think there is a training mode for that game, but sitting around trying to learn new infinites in that game is probably the funnest thing about it (to me anyways xD). Seriously tho, the battle system on that game is fuckin nuts, even tho it’s difficult at times with the camera for 2P (like Zone of the enders type 2P). Next in line would be the accel series.
Yeah, the general consensus among people who play Naruto fighting games is that Ninja Storm is definitely going the right direction. It feels “true” to Naruto-based ninja combat, which is usually high mobility and pressure with traps. With the right balance tweaking, the series could be taken seriously as a solid, viable game.
But that requires the devs (in the case of the NH/UN series CC2) to give a shit about game balance in the first place, which honestly doesn’t seem likely. Adding good online play would probably help build a scene, or at least get some people to try the game, but so far CC2 haven’t given a shit about online play.
