UNS2 was my first Naruto game and I got the 3rd one right away, so I don't have much experience with the older sub settings. I guess that makes me somewhat nooby but I've played UNS3 a fair amount. I do usually stick to team battles though.
Hopefully the new game will have an option like that bold, so people can find a middle ground between limited and timed subs, that way everyone's happy.
And in defence of the blast kunai, they're usually best in team battles (at least in my experience). They might be easily dodged but like I said, that's good setup. Maybe time an Itachi fireball right after the dodge and catch your opponent blocking. Or immediately rush after throwing down the blasts in so that if you get caught, your kunai will save you for a brief half second.
I do like lightning kunai (especially in the challenge mode and single battles) but if everyone could do this, we wouldn't need lightning kunai... at least in team battles
