You're not a true villain til the shirt comes off, that's the message Kishi is sending.

It would be creepy to see a villain like Orochimaru with his shirt off though .-.

The fact that Madara would die soon was already known the moment he entered the battlefield. Though Kishimoto seems to like to undress the villains before killing them off. The only one being noted to not have done this yet ( at least not fully ) is Hidan, Konan and Pain. ( AT least of those that I can remember )

Hidan didn't die, konan wasn't a villain in the fight that she died and nagato didn't have a shirt on to start with.

Well, we don't know the extent of Hidan's immortally, there are those that think that if he stops to sacrifice people, he will become mortal and then he would die. Konan was still portraited as neutral party and could be a potential enemy, though I get what you are saying. I weren't aiming at Nagato, but Pain. ( As in Yahiko's body which Nagato controlled )

That and the fact that I wouldn't classify it as "removing" their top outfits when they are blown off in explosions.

Yeah lol, well that's just a misused word right now. Since either way if it was removed or blown off they all come to the same thing, unless we were talking about grammer naziz who can't stand words which are misused; talking about how villans are being shown shirtless is the main point. This is common on NB.. very common.

I have nothing against people misusing a word, as long as they are able to explain what they originally meant. But until that point, what the meaning of what they said still stands.

well hidan wasn't revived by kabuto while all the other members (except konan(fodder) and kisame (died too late)) were.. i think he still lives, but we won't see anything of him anymore.
konan wasn't portraited as neutral, she was fully behind naruto.
And the bodies of pain were already dead to begin with and yahiko had his shirt of, only over one shoulder he still had his broken akatsuki jacket.

Well, at the very least it seems like they have learned something. I mean they have actually updated the game and released a decently big DLC that some fans at least wanted.

yeah but I can't help but think this series could have been better if they just kept it on the PS3...

or if they used the old formula for the PS2...

I always got those games they had a story but the fighting was great and free roaming was cool...

I was gonna get Storm 1 but I was saving my money, as I waited I noticed all the games coming out, and none of them were to that standard, so I'm still saving my money...

in storm 1 they had less combos, but the ultimate's were insanely awesome, the free roaming was Outstanding, but the roster was lame...

in storm 2 they had the same amount of combos, the ultimate's were underwhelming, free roaming was boring, the roster was better...

in storm generations they had the same amount of combos, the ultimate's were better, free roaming was gone and so was the story, the roster was HUGE...

in storm 3 they had LESS combos, the ultimate's are cool, free roaming is the same, the story is there yet it adds and takes details away, the roster sucks they recycled most of the characters and some take multiple slots...

and those are the minor complains: Awakenings in general need to either be taken out or fixed, All those stage glitches, the characters who have combat advantages (Kisame's sword, Hanzo's scythe, etc), and more...

Its likely that Nagato's paths of Pain didn't have anything on them under the shirts. Saying that because we saw the bodies of two paths. It would also be rather hard to have a shirt on, since he needed to place the rods in their bodies. Now I also said, that having half your outfit blown off wouldn't classify as having your entire outfit off.

The reason as to why Hidan wasn't revived could be for several reasons. It may have been because the Nara forest was "watching" over him or that Kabuto assumed he wasn't dead yet.

Well, I wouldn't even see those as a problem. Awakenings carry major drawbacks to the user, Stage glitches are so rarely noticeable or used. Characters such as Kisame and Hanzo has major drawbacks to their combos and timing that makes them a easy target. With the right knowledge of the character, even Kiba (pre-patch) is a cake walk to finish off.

Except, Hidan, Pain and Konan. Nagato also never had anything on him to start with, so it wouldn't classify as taking something off ( or removing it ).

If the nara forest was watching over him that would mean he 's still alive, if he eats his way above ground the deer are playing football (soccer) with his head.

Maybe his jutsu isn't really compatable with edo tensei either.. getting your head cut off doesn't matter, cause regenerates. And his ritual, a edo body doesn't have blood so i don't know if eating the blood will do anything and he usually makes the ritual circle with his own blood so that won't work either.

That may be another reason as to why Kabuto didn't even try to revive him. Yet again, I say that it is a possibility that he is dead because of the lack of sacrifices. But as we know to little about his power, it's impossible to say for sure.

Why're you complaining? It's not like they're fat like Chouji or anything. Admit it, shirtless Madara isn't something you don't wanna see.

Naruto's awakenings like Nine Tailed Chakra Mode give him more combos than others and his jutsus are hard to sub...

Susanoo awakenings are hard to sub when they are directly in front of you, and their range is huge...

in generations it was horrible you could get such outside the arena leaving the fight to a draw, and some made your opponent a background object that you can't attack...

Kisame is one of the best characters, everytime I play as him I win even though my cousin plays better than me...

same thing with Hanzo, his scythe manages to hit before they can use jutsu on me...

playing as Kiba is like using steroids :p ...
