Something I've been noticing on quite a few of the forums posted on the Base is that many people seem unaware of the distinction between Spamming, Overusing & Strategizing, when it comes to making use of a technique within the Naruto universe. Before you end up using a word haphazardly, the very least you can do it make sure you're thoroughly aware of it's true meaning. For those on the Base who are already aware of the differences, kudos to you - there's no real reason you need to read this, unless you're simply confirming things. Unfortunately, there's a lot more users who would be better with this information than without, hence the creation of this thread.
1. Spamming:
Spamming a technique entails excessive usage of the technique when it is not necessary, or carelessly wasting chakra on a technique that wasn't needed in order to claim victory, nothing more, nothing less.
Example of a 'Spammed' Technique:
[Part I] Naruto's Tajū/Kage Bunshin no Jutsu
While Naruto's use of Shadow Clones is more impressive in Part II of the series, in Part I, there have been many instances during which he's created an enormous number of clones (most likely to overwhelm and pressure his opponent), but they were all defeated, only resulting in a waste of chakra on his part [i.e. Naruto's battles with Neji & Kimimaro].
From What I've Seen On The Base ...
This is without a doubt the most misused term on the Base. I've seen countless posts by others proclaiming that a particular character spams their techniques, when that isn't the case. For example, of the most popular statements I've noticed on the forum is: "Sasuke's dumb, he just spams his MS techniques." And for all those who have said something along those lines at one point or another: STOP THE MADNESS. There's a wide line between spamming a technique and using it strategically, and I will go into depth with that later on. & this isn't only limited to Sasuke's character, but other characters as well (i.e. Kakashi)
2. Overusing:
To overuse a technique is to simply utilize it repeatedly, over and over, to the point where it seems that technique is the only ability the ninja possesses.
Example of an 'Overused' Technique:
Naruto's Rasengan
There shouldn't be any objections in this case, as everyone is or should be aware (and probably quite tired) of Naruto's excessive use of the Rasengan, alongside his Shadow Clones, from Part I straight into Shippuden; unfortunately, he wasn't blessed by Kishimoto with an incredibly large Ninjutsu pool to choose from, unlike other characters like Kakashi & Sasuke.
From What I've Seen On The Base ...
Not many people use this term, since 'Spamming' is the most popular, yet often incorrect term.
3. Strategizing:
Using a technique through strategizing means analyzing the aspects of the situation/battle beforehand, and then making use of the technique in a way that is resourceful, and if planned properly, will ensure the quickest route to victory.
Example(s) of 'Strategized' Techniques:
[Part II] Naruto's Kage Bunshin no Jutsu & Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan Techniques
During Part II of the story, particularly in his battle against Kakazu, Naruto began using Shadow Clones on a strategic level; he created a small set of clones the first time around in order to determine the best possible means of combating Kakazu in his current form; once the clones were defeated, the experience he gained allowed him to devise a successful battle tactic that eventually led to Kakazu's defeat via Rasenshuriken.
For those who have made the claim that Sasuke has 'Spammed' his MS techniques, I'm quite ready to hear in what battles he has done so. Following the awakening of his MS, Sasuke's use of Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, & Susano'o have been critical to him seizing control of the battle - and by extension, surviving the match, for that matter. In Sasuke's battles against Killer Bee, the Raikage, & Danzo, his use of MS techniques was critical to him either winning, or avoiding being killed; the regular Sharingan wasn't enough. The only battle in which I can readily acknowledge that he 'Spammed' the use of his MS techniques was against Kakashi; he was already fighting on level ground against his former sensei despite being weakened, and his use of Susano'o wasn't necessary during the match - he ended up paying dearly for it, as it nearly drove him blind.
From What I've Seen On The Base ...
I've seen a couple posts making use of this term correctly, but nevertheless, 'Spamming' is the most hyped, albeit wrongly used term.
Hopefully some of you are now at least aware of the differences between the 3 terms; it's all well and good to make a statement, but while doing so, please make sure you're aware of the actual meaning of the words you use.
