[PS3] No Izanami? -- Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution

[Barugo no Rushian]

I don't normally go online or on YouTube to spoil too many details about games I intend to buy, however, earlier today I was tempted to read through an article containing a YouTube video briefly going through Revolution's entire roster of characters... and while I still very much look forward to the game there is one thing I'm a tad disappointed about... granted, this is based solely on the roster I saw earlier:

Now, we all have our biases for characters as fans of the Naruto franchise, and one of my biases is Itachi Uchiha (I know, no surprise). I noticed that despite having implemented Itachi and Sasuke's victory over Kabuto in Full Burst, Itachi (Reanimated) still does not have Izanami as an Ultimate Jutsu/Ougi. It's still Yasaka Magatama (seriously?). Yes, I get that he'd lose one of his eyes' Sharingan in the process, but it's a video game after all and I'd like to put all levels of tough guys in an Izanami to further enhance my personal experience gaming Revolution. Itachi is a popular character so I'd expect CC2 to have made his Reanimated version as up-to-date as possible, yet they did not.

Was anyone else disappointed about this? If not for the lack of an Izanami, perhaps another character or technique thereof.

That's not a finishing move.

It's just a genjutsu used to make someone change sides basically.

I still trying to figure out how you would (seamlessly) implement such a accurate and precise jutsu into gameplay. I know it's fighting game and gameplay mechanics isn't something easily changed but still, Izanami seems less of finishing move and more of cutscene device.

But that's my two cents on the matter.

 

[Magikarp]

Yeah its just a repetitive move which will seem kinda boring for this type of game.

 

[Barugo no Rushian]

Yeah, I see your point. Come to think of it... the real mind screw would be in the perspective of the target and it'd have to repeat over and over again. Still, maybe two or three loops then the screen fades out from the eyes of the opponent and Itachi could stand there, back turned, his Sharingan wearing out while the target collapses motionlessly behind him. Nevertheless, as a finisher I admit, it's a little impractical.

Be funny to have that your opponent stuck in a never ending loop until he corrects his mistake make people rage quit

When is NUNSR being released? I haven't pre-ordered a copy yet.

Interesting....

When is NUNSR being released? I haven't pre-ordered a copy yet.

You probably figured it out by now, but September 16th (NA). Three days from now.

It would just be spammed like crazy till he's able to use Susanoo. It's a good move they left it out.
