Anyone Dissappointed with Storm 2?

i am a littlebit disappointed too. there are many reasons for that, the main-reason is that the balancing is just awful.
minato, itachi and deideira are just stronger than almost anybody, especially since minato and itachi are in addition to their extremely strong awakening-mode and useful jutsu extremely fast and deideiras kunai-combo is the only useful combo left, just because the almighty teleport s**** against it.
the jutsu-balancing is awful, i mean seriously, why cant rasengan/chidori pierce long-ranged jutsus anymore? why is sasuke's full charged katon far less useful than deideiras normal jutsu? why is minato's rasengan that fast, in addition to his absurd speed?
same goes for tossing, having a fast toss is so strong, especially since tossing cancels support-characters and does tons of damage.
the worst point is in my eyes the awakening mode, because on the one hand, characters like sasuke (taka) or even worse, the whole konoha-nins are in most cases weaker than before, on the other hand characters like naruto, Itachi, Killerbee or Deideira just become Knockback-immune, make tons of damage with few hits and huge range and are insanely fast.
i somehow have the feeling that they just didnt thought about balancing at all.

Lol. I agree with you on pretty much every point. The game turned out great in my opinion, but there are balancing issues O_O
I don't really have a problem with the awakenings except for 6 tails and Susanoo. One combo from six tails is enough to take down an entire health bar (and that's only from 3 simple hits xd) And Susanoo spam is self-explanatory xd One can literally kill an opponent that has full health if they spam Susasnoo well enough, which takes little skill to do btw. =/
Online is a pain too because of all the spammers. Though, I welcome Sage Naruto opponents because Minato is the perfect counter for Sage Mode Naruto xd
The one thing that truly annoys me in this game is the juggling. For example, I went up against one Shikamaru user and as soon as I was knocked back, his support hit me from behind (you know the little juggling sequence when in Support Mode and the Attack Support strikes you from behind) and I hit the ground and bounced into the air again. Then, he threw a paper-bomb kunai before I could recover and juggled me again. He literally did this 6 times and I was completely helpless. It's okay though...I just laughed it off xd
Other than that, I love the game ^_^

You have great points. Susano'o has bailed me out of plenty of fights that I should have lost. Sasori's performance of 100 puppets does the same. But yeah some awakenings are almost impossible to escape and can turn the tide of the battle quickly. On the other hand awakenings like Neji or kakashi is nothing compared to Itachi's Sasori etc.
Spamming with deidara is a nuisance. No need to explain there.
And special attacks are really unbalanced.I use Sasori so I know this but his iron sand attack will beat any other jutsu which is absolutely crazy. People like Sakura,tsunade,lee, sometimes gai are completely useless when compared to other characters who actually use ninjutsu.
I haven't played the first one( have a 360) so i cant compare but after going on youtube and checking out the Ultimate jutsu/awakening from storm 1.....i mean i love how easy it is to do things but the Ultimates in storm 2 could have been better.And the awakenings for most of the characters suck. I love the story but i wish they didn't cut certain things out( Konohamaru vs Pain or Hinata vs Pain etc). Jutsu clash would have been awesome to and they should have offered more alternate UJs for everyone. I mean Naruto and Sasuke get like 3....but anyways if theres gonna be UNS3 then we can be sure THAT will be the Naruto game we all wish for.
