Storm 2:What we did & didn't like?

[lswhyte123]

I loved the ninja storm series of games and so far it really hasn't let me down.

There are however many aspects of the game that I think could be improved. As I am a bit of a Gaara-lovin-douche, I'm gonna start with the improvements on him.

Gaara: Should have had an awakening that wasn't total crap(there I said it). He should have been on his sand in the air, with long range attacks and the sand tsunami should have made a come-back. Also, his up+O techinique was a bit crap-you had to be the absolute correct distance and the recovery time after use was retarded and left you wide open. I think it should have been suna shigure with medium/homing distance or some sort of 360 sand defensive attack, like in storm 1. Lastly,his Ultimate jutsu was a poor take on some of his techniques. Combining the sand prison which is great with some stupid sand hands was dumb. They should have just had a larger sand prison, which crushes the victim and boom!!

So that's how I think they could have made 1 of 44 characters much better.
43 left...up to you people, thoughts and whatnot?
Should we bring clashes back etc etc?

-Substitution Spammers- (Followed by UJ or Rasengan)
-No combo canceling- (In part, the blame for the aspect above)
-Lack of complex combos- (There were a few but still)

Thanks for letting me know I'd posted in wrong place. Re-posted this in the games discussion area. Now. How do I get rid of this one?

Spammers. People who spam shuriken, spam rasengans, spam fire balls. The game was ruined by spam. I made it to Mizukage rank online and got tired of constantly playing spammers it was annoying...

People who spam support characters to use their UJ then run away and spam shuriken until their support characters are available again. The whole game was broken because of that. There hasn't been a fight where someone used a real combo because all people would do is substitute then spam rasengan after rasengan.

Character balance was horrible. I used to use Itachi, Sasori and Minato majority of the time. But why is their awakening so boss when characters like Jiraiya have a weak ass awakening. Another thing about character balancing. Why was jiraiy and Kisame so slow? their combos move at the pace of a snail which is one of the reason why I didn't like using them. Why would they allow characters like deidara, and ino to be able to spam shuriken. I've played against people who pressed one button the whole match, but still lost. lol

Agreed 100%

His awakening sucked compared to his UN4 (And prior) and PSP ones.

Thank You! Yes the annoying as hell constant having to hit r2 all the time or having someone keep getting away from your combo.
I think that, like in Budokai 3, there should be a dodge feature which isn't a combo breaker, but rather a way of avoiding a hit or two. but not just continously teleporting behind someone via substitution. I got so sick of having to only attack people head on if their chakra didn't allow them to sub. It was too easy to do in storm 2.

Nice. I agree that most higher level fights didn't actually have any real head on fighting as people would just spam a sub and then do a rasengan or whatever.
Also, I think that it is annoying having someone who can just stay away and keep throwing s**t @ you. I know it's how those people fought in a way, but I think one easy way of controlling this type o'canned spam, is to make those square after square attacks use chakra. Puts a cap on it.
I have to defend Kisame's slowness though. He was one of the few characters I found it hard to sub away from as his timing of attack was so hard to catch(oddly) whereas, someone like Tobi or Bee had super fast combo's but it was easy as balls to get away from em.
And again, gotta agree, the balance of awakening was shabby to say the least. Susanoo is stronger than say sakura's awaken in the manga and the anime but still. Could there not have been some sort of Balancing factor...like even, I dunno duration and side effects.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey if anyone has it for Xbox 360 add me i'm not a spammer of any type: sG Hebi

ohh well, about itachi
using the
left analog + X
in storm 1 which allows itachi to go behind the enemy
I like it more than transforming into crows
and float

 

[lswhyte123]

Let's take a little look at some other characters then and see what you think should have been done differently.

Karin: Now I know that not a lot is known about her, but didn't you all feel she was just a little too crap to be in this game. She's still a ninja FFS.

Issue no1: Her jutsu, was it freackin perfume? I mean seriously when is her jutsu useful or even seen to be used? If she's a medical ninja I'm sure she's smart and probably proficient in Genjutsu. No? So why not have something more technical like a chakra blade or an illusion like Itachi's bomb clone mirage thing?

Issue no2: Her awaken. She puts her glasses on tight and makes a funny face?....anyone else see the issue. Itachi=Susanoo and she gets glasses n funny eyes.

Finally her Ultimate: It's a good move and true to her character but why was it her only redeeming feature? It shows she's smart and a bit nutty.

I know that some characters own some others easily in the manga & anime but in a game it's nice to try n balance things out. In ultimate ninja 5 for PS2 Sakura is actually quite good, so why can't they have the girls and weaker people being good in this?

True dat. But seriously though. At least it's still a good move. I mean what about Kakashi's? He just does some very lame kicks. no real problem with kicking but come on!! It's Sharingan Kakashi, the man of a thousand jutsu's. Can't he maybe do the phoenix flower jutsu instead or even use pakkun? I think that the chakra shuriken could be a way of adding a jutsu per character. Like Itachi's Crimson Balsam nails or Sasuke's shadow shuriken summon.

 

[lswhyte123]

Agreed 100%

Yeah but then again I did feel that he was a bit too over-powered in those games. I mean, how the hell do you beat someone who can launch attacks off-screen?
I think Gaara's ability to fly on his sand would be very easy to incorporate into the storm games. Like Deidara being on his K2 Dragon, just makes him harder to physically attack and gives the battle a really epic feel to it. Like when Choji fights against Susanoo, Epic scale fights. Or CM Sasuke vs Naruto in Kyuubi mode. These things make for a much more awesome finale and are what Naruto's all about....Also, Gaara used the tailed beast bomb against Deidara in the game...jus sayin...coulda been part of his Ultimate or awaken.

To those who are simply viewing and not posting.

Where's the love people? Come on, just share some thoughts.

1: Do you think there are characters who should have been made better?

2:Should they have scrapped the awakening ultimate jutsu?

3:Should they bring back the jutsu clashes?

4:Could we have a few more jutsus to choose from?

5: What did you like and not like about this game?

They should add a third jutsu for every character, y'know? It could be triple triangle and circle or something else..I bet the guys at CC2 can come up with something lol

Triple is the team Ultimate dawg. But, I think that with a click of the analogue or simply by making L2 or R2 a switch jutsu button, you could have a selection to choose from. Thoughts?

 

[lswhyte123]

I recall having 3 bars in Storm 1 and I liked it. Thought the fights lasted longer and were more immersive. Also, the Ultimates were more epic, think there should be a harder to pull off epic finishing move.
It was SOO cool when you went into awaken and could do a huge Jutsu that would turn the tide of the fight and really picked up the pace. It gave those who weren't as good a chance to bring it back when they got trashed.
3: Clashes...they need them. It didn't interrupt the pace of the fight at all. It made the fight better,much better. If you saw someone charge up a super charged rasengan and had a split second to react a just in time pull off Raikiri/chidori and mash it into each other in a desperate attempt to not get powned!!
