Title: Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations
Post by: nilcam on February 10, 2012, 07:20:57 PM
I know there's a pretty strong following for the Naruto manga in the fighting game community so this seems appropriate.

Sometimes I feel like a simple fighting game with over-the-top action and excitement. That's when I play Ultimate Ninja Storm games. The new iteration will have a new combo system and, for the first time in UNS, a cancel system. This game also features some of the nicest 3D graphics ever!

Dude...it's Tenten.  She's so bad she's an insult to Dan and Roll Tier.

I miss the days, back when NH3 was the pinnacle of the series tournament viability. Meter management for KnJ/KnJ-deny, shuriken cancels (made characters like Minato really strong because of guard breaking), taunt/requirement specific buffs, and 3 ougis per character. The Accel series had to ruin it with spammable assists (some tournaments ran with R1-less controllers so you couldn't call assists LOL)


The UN series really changed it up and, at first, I was pretty disappointed that they simplified a lot of the game's mechanics. However, it looks like they're starting to take steps in the right direction, so color me interested for now.

Also, I'm mad at the lack of Anko (outside of being a DLC assist char). Character specific ougi buff (Orochimaru) was GDLK.

Dude...it's Tenten.  She's so bad she's an insult to Dan and Roll Tier.

Only Konohamaru and Hanabi are in that tier.

Of course you don't find her annoying.  She'd actually have to be relevant to be annoying.

TO be fair, Tenten has a crush on Rock Lee, making her one of the few girls in the series with sense. Sakura and Hinata have some serious issues; one's in love with a guy who threatened to kill her and, in all honestly, Naruto is about the dullest knife in the drawer.

That said, Tenten is a blast in the Wii series; dropping weapons during a combo to use other weapons is pretty badass. She also had a really good in-close game.

There is a demo of Generations on the Japanese PSN store. It's very cool; you get to play as Naruto and Sage Mode Naruto.

She used to like Sasuke, but she couldn't resist the Springtime of Youth.

I played a demo of the last game, thought it was dull as hell. The game shares the same problem alot of anime games have, quantity of characters over quality (See DBZ Tenkaichi).

Well I would assume Sakura gave up that one when Sasuke "King of Hax" Uchiha decided to try and use her as a sharpening tool for his Chidori.

As for Naruto, he maybe a bit on the...low end of the intelligence spectrum, but you can't say he doesn't know what needs to be done at the right time.  His instinct and battle tactics almost rival Shikamaru in sheer brilliance and effectiveness.  And unlike Sasuke, when Naruto gets his hax, it usually STILL isn't close to a free win and he has to work for it.  So any stupidity he makes up for in daily life by way of ignorance he makes up for elsewhere where he has great moments of clarity.

Plus you know...Friendship no Jutsu and the fact that if girls can't fall for dumb guys the world's population would probably be cut in half (...possibly for the better but still).

Plus it never seemed that Sakura never really got past the whole schoolgirl crush phase of her love of the douche, not that she ever really had time to.  Now any love she has for Sasuke immediately turns into guilt for putting Naruto through LITERAL hell in trying to get his ass back.  Plus like I said...think that whole thing ended with the whole murder attempt.  Hinata...yeah, she decided to go face to face against (at the time) the biggest badass the shinobi world had ever seen just to save Naruto, and decided then to confess.

Tenten...crush on Lee...yeah I'm sure Neji will just pull a robbery on that one.  Not that it matters, it seems like more of a loss than anything to have Tenten go after you.  Imagine the misfortune in your life...think of the children...

Again, it doesn't matter, Tenten is filler.  As far as I'm concerned, she doesn't exist, you might as well put in Faceless Ninja #12 on Neji's team and you'll get the same function.

that was the one made by ubisoft i think i this game specials are rather simple you whatever you chakra button is once and it could be just for various thinks like a special, chakra infused shuriken, or a quick dash that puts you up in your opponents face, (i might be wrong so correct me if i am) 2nd lvl gives you access to your ultimate and i cant remember if you able to use it for anything else

Wait...

I know there's a pretty strong following for the Naruto manga in the fighting game community

What?

There are people who aren't middle school weeaboos still following that?

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on February 13, 2012, 08:32:24 PM
Uh...yeah?  When it takes 5 minutes of time to read each chapter and it's free...yeah, it's not tough to follow.  Especially when the manga is in the middle of a war which means there's a lot more fighting than usual.  Seems to be heading toward a conclusion considering there are only 4 more enemies left now that Naruto has taken out the Jinchuuriki.  Tobi, Kabutoro, Real Madara, and of course Sasuke "King of Hax" Uchiha.  Oh...and I guess Zetsu.

Would not surprise me to see Itachi get his rematch against Sasuke, when you know, he's not 2/3rds of a way into a coffin at the fight's beginning, almost blind, and is trying to lose.  Him facing Nagato pretty much showed that Itachi in peak condition is still the baddest ninja on the face of the Earth.
