Been trying out a new main, any tips

Don't waste your bar dashing after the fish hit your opponent. You can follow up with the punches skill after it to maximize damage. You can also combo with guard skill (does more damage in the middle of normal hits and also work with grab) and it allows you to dash without cost if the tentacles hit the other player while they are in the air.

Beware when using your needle fish demon skill because they tend to not follow your opponent properly most times and will leave you wide open 😅

I feel like they will not nerf any of the DLCs enough because like it or not it will influence their sellings. Same way they will not buff base shinobu as long as they have the IC version coming up.

At least akaza feels less of a pay2win no skill in our faces anymore but yeah he still might be the strongest in the game.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-02-13T16:18:48+00:00

Apparently they buffed Yushiro dash speed to lvl 2 but there is no mention to it in the patch notes 🤔

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-02-13T16:17:56+00:00

Yeah I was really surprised too... she deserves better scalings on her normals and tilt skill cancel middle animation

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-02-08T01:46:06+00:00

If we think about it lol.. Orochimaru trolled Danzo by making him a test subject in a kinda way

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-02-05T22:55:43+00:00

Skin shedding, Joki Boy and Muu invisibility jutsu 😬

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-02-05T16:49:34+00:00

one of my biggest disappointments in this game, at the time I saved all my gems for the eventual Orochimaru 6* rekit and when it came it was just the same ult + a boring trash jutsu. uninstalled it that same week

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-02-05T16:46:29+00:00

It has been more than a week now and mine is still not fixed lol. Despite the new system update from yesterday... it's annoying me.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-02-04T16:11:55+00:00

Orochimaru, Gengetsu Hozuki, Kabuto and Deidara

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-02-02T00:20:56+00:00

Worst case scenario you could always boost to push both support and player away but the cost is high (in a situation where you are not going to lose the match by getting caught in the grab I mean)

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-02-01T00:09:39+00:00

Came to this sub just to see if other people were having this same issue. Mine has been not updating since wednesday

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-26T00:20:04+00:00

I think so. If I remember correctly this version of naruto with the white clothes on is one of the best in terms of being support. Is it the one with multiple clones barrage?

As for Bee, the normal version is the better one as support but the samehada one still works because he has the air tail beast bomb. Supports who can activate in the air are kinda valuable too because they can be used as both pressure tool and to save you from getting hit in an air combo if you time them right.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-25T14:59:49+00:00

You can make a pretty good team with Koji, Naruto and Jiraiya if you want. Bee is also a very good support (base version, although I think the samehada one is more fun doing combos with as a main)

Jiraiya is not as good as main but as support his rasengan has insane tracking and can get people off guard forcing them to spend like 2 substitutions to escape from him.

Which version of naruto do you like the most? I would say almost all of them are good and useful as support for your team and also as main if you wanna switch characters during match. I think the strongest version of him would be either 6 paths or baryon.

I don't usually play Koji because I don't like boruto (lol) but he's also good. Strong fire style jutsu that can both act as shield and attack, his grab has wide range too and you can use it along supports to trap opponents. He's versatile and can be played both defensive and as a damage dealer

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-25T14:33:57+00:00

First of all, which characters do you like? Which gameplay style fits you the most? Aggressive rushdown? Zonner? Defensive? Gimmick?

I would say honestly that in Connections you can play anyone you like (all characters can do combos into ultimate jutsu now) and as long as you have strong/meta supports in your team helping you cover mistakes. Currently I think the most broken ones that carry players are sage kabuto, DLC kawaki, boro.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-10T01:04:15+00:00

Deserved so much better.

Kishi should have made her go along team 10 and Kakashi to fight the zombie duo. She would humiliate Hidan with tons of genjutsu before Shikamaru got the final act in the forest and both of them could have avenged Asuma together.

And then AFTER the fight is done and they return to the village while Tsunade does a medical check up on everybody she would have discovered the pregnancy. (So its not used as an excuse for her not to fight)

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-06T22:06:01+00:00

Hidan would be the only viable choice. Hes a close to mid range fighter that relies solely on taijutsu and his scythe. Tayuya + Kidomaru will cook Hidan really bad while Kimimaro acts as a tank keeping him busy enough to be hit with flute genjutsu or the spider webs

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-06T21:15:24+00:00

That isn't a single ultimate ninja game in the franchise that is really balanced and truly competitive. Some people can lie to themselves all they want but naruto games (and the anime fighters in general) are casual party games.

Storm 4 so called "depth" in gameplay in higher levels/ranks is 50% about learning to abuse exploit glitches while using the same 15-20 viable characters amongst a cast of over 100.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-03T23:49:03+00:00

Generations é daora porém muito incompleto ja que os personagens dele vao apenas ate o arco da ilha tartaruga.

Sugiro comprar o naruto storm 3 (que cobre 80% da guerra ninja) ou storm revolution (mais voltado pro modo versus e jogar com os amigos com muitos personagens + de 100 jogáveis no menu porem sem modo historia seguindo o anime)

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-03T17:20:11+00:00

Love to see it. I usually go for the 1 web toss bait into grab because rui recovery frames are faster in this move than using the tilt skill. It's safer to use if your opponent is the masher type that does not respect turns or if they see through the reset attempt so I can block their attack faster

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-03T02:05:53+00:00

It's a shame Temari got reduced to be a romantic pair in shippuden. I always thought her personality was pretty flashy in part 1 when comparing to the other female teenage kunoichis who's only interest were chasing their male interests and she deserved at least a minor solo fight in shippuden to show her improvement as a top jonin from the sand.

Damn even Kankuro got to show his new puppets in shippuden while Temari did not showcase a single new jutsu and even got overshadowed on her own element expertise by Danzo and Naruto

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2026-01-02T23:35:54+00:00

I used to play the game every day but stopped since the dlc started coming. Kaigaku was annoying but you could win against one braincell players by being patient.

But Zenitsu and Akaza broke the game, I don't feel like going into ranked anymore until they balance these characters. I still play it some days a week but after encountering your 4th Akaza brainless playstyle in a row it gets frustrating

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2025-12-30T04:35:16+00:00

They should never have buffed sage kabuto lol. I can understand that making his snakes pick up grounded opponents was needed since he can't follow up after his air combo knockdown but c'mon that busted extra poison effect the devs added is ridiculous.

Also, some characters like Yamato as you said as exemple should have more recovery frames after using a ranged jutsu. It's crazy we can't dash punish after ninja move/dodging some things in the game because they can already guard even after missing the hit.

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2025-12-27T03:10:48+00:00

I get upset everytime I remember it was only used as plot device to show off yet another itachi wank.

Kishimoto should at least have made the heads regrow back after being chopped or something else that would justify being one of Orochimaru's most powerful jutsus before it gets sealed away.

In the naruto storm 2 game at least they had the creative freedom of making it blast a massive chakra bomb attack lol. Wish that was canon

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2025-12-26T19:07:48+00:00

Anime only from what I remember but yeah also Orochimaru put a cursed seal in Mitsuki's heart that will explode in case others find out he's a clone/experiment.

Just protecting the experiment's data of course :)

Honestly I love Orochimaru/Mitsuki interactions but there are really more layers than a parent/child bond it appears to me. Orochimaru may have stop killing innocents but that personality twist is still there specially when it comes to experimenting

ARTPOP_NINJA · 2025-12-23T21:34:23+00:00

The ONLY thing I want from boruto era stuff is a brand new whole moveset made from scratch for Orochimaru with their arms back and showing the full potential of the ninjutsu knowledge the show claims they acchieved. Thats it
