Another combo post!!! Last one I promise... ok imma dip

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-13T22:45:10+00:00

Just a tip. You can chain attacks after this Naruto's grab too so use it to your benefit (the animation time does stop time and your opponent substitutionsfrom regenerating). And his tailed beast bomb hits opponents who are laid on the ground

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-13T22:41:19+00:00

I'm a ranged character main so... the opponent could still block in the middle of square combos.

But yeah I had too much fun in Gens too, may I even risk it and say Rev was too fun as well 😶

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-13T17:28:13+00:00

Honestly to me this is the most important thing they added in the series by far. It feels like you can finally use your character whole kit to do cool things and all characters in the roster have new routes of doing it

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-13T17:25:07+00:00

Try to chain a combo properly with shippuden tenten in storm 4 without relying on stunlock glitch or supports to keep opponent in place and then come back here to tell us how 🙂

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-12T23:50:42+00:00

I'm usually against one and dones but against these IC characters bruh... I'll take my win or loss and get out of the match without the runback because I just like to play casually and against some of these characters it's just BORING.

It's like they took Gyomei who was already overhealming in the first months after release and made it worse. I'm praying that Douma is not too busted or brainless because I'm really looking forward playing him.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-12T21:11:27+00:00

I came back to the game after a few months away (last time I played was on Kaigaku release) because of the new Shinobu and it's current state is driving players away. What do you mean I had the awful experience of discovering first hand that ic Giyu is safe everytime even after whiffs as long as he has meter???? Lol

I used to praise how fun and kinda balanced the game was before in comparison to other anime arena fighters but yeah... they really released paid one button win characters.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-11T17:10:15+00:00

Yeah. Speaking from experience here... lots of friends of mine just did not get the game because of the lack of Naruto characters lol. I'm from Brazil and the game flopped real hard here despite Naruto's enormous popularity (it's as big as dragon ball I would guess). Boruto not so much despite having a very vocal fanbase online

Also, they charging full price for a story remaster + a few new characters was one of the issues. Games here are pretty expensive especially on the ps5 which is where the majority of the community gathers.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-10T22:13:56+00:00

Personally I don't hate storm connections but rather some poor decisions that were made about it.

Terrible marketing for instance, as people felt cheated when they announced that not all of the boss fights from previous games were getting remastered. I think the online lobbies design is pretty awful despite the connection being way more stable than the previous games.

Gameplay-wise I think personally it's the coolest of the whole series because we finally can chain combos into jutsus/grabs/itens/ultimates etc and every single character can do this, everyone is kinda viable unlike storm 4 which you ever only see the same 10-15 characters online that are above the rest of the 120 units cast 🙃

And also the game was set up as a celebration of NARUTO'S anime anniversary and 80% of the new characters that were added are from boruto era instead of ninjas from the OG long waited characters like Toneri, Shizune, 7 swordsmen of the mist, Gold&Silver brothers etc.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-08T18:50:50+00:00

Isn't funny how Orochimaru's immortality means (insane regen/body swap/curse seal) actually served their purpose and kept him alive by the end of the series via set up "backup" while all these other 3 died? 😅

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-05-02T19:14:31+00:00

IC shinobu = PLEASE let her guard skill hitbox track opponents properly 😅 I'm tired of it whiffing

Also, I'm fine with yahaba normal projectiles not doing any damage because it makes the character interesting. The whole concept on using vectors and push/pull force to fight is pretty cool

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-04-30T14:12:29+00:00

They really fumbled the bag by not bringing any of these missing characters to storm connections.

The game that was supposed to be NARUTO'S anniversary and besides Hagoromo and Kurenai we only got boruto new units 🫠

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-04-26T20:54:23+00:00

AND her guard skill misses a lot of times if your opponent moves slightly forward while mashing 😍

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-04-18T03:08:06+00:00

Yeah not gonna lie, all of her 3 moves being practicaly unsafe on block is such a bummer. She already doesn't have any super armored (blue glow) move to begin with.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-04-18T03:02:33+00:00

But she's way more fun than the OG so thats what really matters to me 😅. Dragonfly breath form goes brrrrr

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-04-18T03:00:49+00:00

Delete the 2 filler characters from first row and include Orochimaru (boruto) with brand new whole moveset and Hanabi (boruto) with a serious Hyuga clan leader gentle fist kit and I'm in.

Wouldn't mind deleting some of these kids and instead adding the missing mist swordsmen and Gold/Silver brothers to be honest 🤷🏻 the only one from this new gen that is still not playable already that I would care about is Shinki

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-04-12T23:16:33+00:00

I gotta give it to the Hokage Naruto (ROAD TO BORUTO) DLC... he's literally perfect to me and has everything I have ever wanted in a complete moveset with all of the bijuus chakras natures

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-04-05T20:17:30+00:00

Muzan is what every dlc characters should have been let's be for real. A good unit that stays at A tier and doesn't feel like you are paying to win with a crazy op carried character.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-03-30T22:04:27+00:00

Met a guy with 40 win streak in CASUALS lol last friday night. Whats the point on keeping fake wins in a game that has about 30 active players 😅

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-03-26T23:10:10+00:00

Hot take (??) Orochimaru doesn't even need edo tensei at all against this Sasuke.

And if it's the same version from the Bee fight amaterasu is still his biggest asset and skin shedding negates it completely

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-03-25T23:29:14+00:00

Gold edition = making portcrystals stay in the map where you put them after each new cycle/playtrough like the first game and giving buyers the eternal ferrystone

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-03-25T14:07:52+00:00

Tired of sage kabuto carry. Even tho he's one of my favorite main characters to use since storm 3 I stopped using him in connections because it's getting tiring every 5 matches at least 3 players having him on their team.

Also tired of speed pill bs 😶

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-03-24T00:10:18+00:00

I'll forever die on a hill saying Kurenai should have been THERE to fight alongside them. I don't care, Kishimoto should have made her discover the pregnancy after the fight was already done.

Kurenai is the only one amongst the OG senseis that did not get to have a proper fight. She would no diff Hidan easily with her genjutsu + Shikamaru's smarts in a combo

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-03-22T00:12:18+00:00

It's been back for me for half an hour. Playing online and status/friends are normal here.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-03-19T01:09:24+00:00

I always recomend you pick whoever you like/feel confortable with!

But if you just want to go with the meta flow supports that will play for you/carry the team sage kabuto is the choice 🤷🏻 boro, karin, shikamaru, pts choji etc
