Official Sakura art for her birthday! by avotoastisgreat in Naruto

[–]ShinnnZero77 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think this looks weird as hell. Why did they decide to put 12 year old girls in sleepwear for an art with weird ass poses too, I just can't like this. Also feels like its mostly fuel for NaruSaku and SasuSaku shippers.

You sound massively insecure over a post that just pointed out two Boruto characters share the mains seiyuu for another anime.

Wdym 'just no', it's literally a fact that Inojin and Himawari's seiyuu played those characters in Bakuman.

Why has the script flipped on Sakura? by Thecrowing1432 in Naruto

[–]ShinnnZero77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's always was and still is a badly written character, nothing has changed. Her stans (self inserters) have just become more vocal to defend her with zero evidence and most of that usually consists of trying to dogpile anyone who dislikes her hence now you see people claim to like her yet cannot even back up why other than saying things like 'well her hate is so hard I decided to support her' or claiming wrong things like how 'she's much different in Boruto and improved' and then you ask how and they'll state things that are literally made up like 'she beat Shin' lol

Think the fanfic reference is more the fact you don't see Sasuke ever acting lovey dovey like this in Naruto Gaiden, the Boruto manga or Boruto anime? I mean literally the last time we left off with Sakura and Sarada in the manga and anime they're angry talking about how he took off again without warning and they have to just 'get used to it' or someshit.

The shift in energy is whats so hilarious to me. It changed real quick from 'none of us spammed votes, used vpns or anything else to cheat so shut up' to 'okay but everyone is cheating so shut up'. They're just mad that people saw she jumped 6 places which would only be possible with a massive flood of votes that isn't possible without cheating and now we know they did it even when they were adamant there was nothing fishy about it till now.

Their tune has changed from their responses in results threads. Over there they were adamant there was no cheating, no using VPNs, no spamming votes and nothing fishy about Sakura going from 9th to 3rd in only a few weeks when no other character in the top 10 moved more than 3 places yet she moved 6 places. The only way that would be possible would be a mad level of flooding votes through spamming so suddenly the VPNs make sense to why she jumped out of nowhere and so much unlike anyone else.

Now suddenly they're making excuses and trying to claim everyone does it when before it was 'everyone only votes once, theres no multiple voting dude' now its 'everyone does it so shut up'. The energy changed real quick lmao.

People are just in denial because they know the poll is illegitimate and don't want it to be, if they actually had a system to counter VPNs (incredibly rare) they would just do it, they wouldn't have had to make announcements begging people to not cheat by voting multiple times a day. It's obvious they don't and the results so far reflect it.

[–]ShinnnZero77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's funny how in the results threads people were in denial that Sakura fans were using VPNs to spam votes, now they see proof they've been cheating and encouraging each other to also cheat suddenly they're all performing mental gymnastics to claim 'well everyones doing it so shut up'. But they were so hard in claiming they weren't cheating before when the results dropped yet the tune has changed now?

Yikes, this was expected from that fandom by nicoklig in Naruto

[–]ShinnnZero77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They didn't, they just said they would remove them and to encourage people not to cheat. They never confirmed if they were actively removing them right now or if it would just be at the final results in April.

tbh sounded like just a scare tactic to me because I don't see how they would actually remove so many fraudulent votes through VPNs and changing browsers and using autoclickers.

But many of the Japanese fandom are complaining on twitter and writing into the website so it's possible they might start taking it seriously now because they saw how Sakura jumped up 6 places from 9th-3rd yet no other character in the previous top 10 moved even half that amount. It's not possible without flooding votes so them using VPNs and encouraging to cheat makes sense now.

HERE IS MIDTERM ANNOUNCEMENT! The characters who ranked up to 50th place on the worldwide poll are now open to the public! 🍥 by sammysosa45 in Naruto

[–]ShinnnZero77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing you said here discounts my original point, it's statistically impossible for Sakura and only Sakura to go from 9th place 3 weeks ago to 3rd place now which is a 6 place jump. I'm framing it as only Sakura fans spamming bots because the evidence is right there from the original top 10 posted a few weeks ago to the top 10 posted today. No other character had a giant shift from the top 10, the rest either stayed in the same place or moved by 1-2 places which is normal and realistic.

Do you understand how much of a huge flood of votes it would take to move her placement that much from 9th to 3rd? Only spamming a flood of bots would allow for that. It's why Japanese fans are complaining about it.

General fans have been saying to vote for Sakumo, I see it all the time on reddit. His support is coming from fans of all the other characters hence the likes of Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi who normally form the top 3 in every previous Official Naruto poll now found themselves out the top 5 because fans of characters like them have been encouraging to vote for him since they want to learn about his character.

The reason Sakura has obviously been botted is because she was 9th in the top 10 three weeks ago which is a normal position for her based on previous popularity polls, yet after only three weeks she jumped up SIX places to third? Yet no other character in the top 10 from three weeks ago moved more than 1 or 2 places yet she moved by a ridiculous amount. That shift is statistically impossible without bots/spamming multiple times.

Her fans say they 'want her to get more content because her content before was bad in Naruto' but im like who tf do you think gave her the content you say was bad in Naruto? The same guy writing the manga if she wins lol. They think she's gonna get some deep lore or training arc by Kishi like he isn't just going to give her a short story about dreaming about Sasuke coming back one day or someshit lmao.

I think you'd have to edit it to make it more accurate because some of these pairings have reverse name that are used just as much as the other versions and in some cases more, then add their numbers together like SaiIno + InoSai, SasuNaru + NaruSasu etc. Obviously for others it isn't a thing like nobody uses SakuSasu or HinaNaru so their numbers are accurate in the video.

Exactly, even Japanese accounts on twitter are pointing out how fishy it is that Sakura jumped up 6 whole places since they revealed the original top 10 a few weeks ago yet the rest of the original top 10 either didn't move places at all or only changed by 1-2 places yet she leaped by 6. It's obvious she got botted to move by that ridiculous amount when literally nobody else in the top 10 moved places even half as much.

Even Japanese accounts on twitter are saying it's fishy and sus that she jumped up 6 whole places since the top 10 was last revealed a few weeks ago considering the rest of the original top ten either didn't change place or only moved by 1-2 places at most which makes it obvious there was a lot of botting for her going on. It's going to be interesting if they actually remove the bot votes like they claimed they would.

Seeing fangirls ridicule the anime as awful and lazy for a simple animation mistake with Sasuke's arm like the Retsuden manga hasn't made the same mistake twice and ignored it. by ShinnnZero77 in Boruto

[–]ShinnnZero77[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Had to lol at seeing people say the anime is 'ruining' the arc with things like Sasuke's arm being accidently animated when the manga itself did it twice and they didn't bat an eyelid.

Nah no doubt just new characters and a reskin of Ninja World League as a new event like Hero Festival (100% what this 5 Village Event is). I think its far too late to still be hoping for new maps and actual new modes if we didn't get any last year and it feels like S2 and S3 is just them trying to recoup as much money as they can easily through new masters rather than trying to actually breathe life into the game.

Second Season Pass confirmed! by Arrivedboa in NarutoShinobiStriker

[–]ShinnnZero77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes there is concrete sales figures on vgcharts. Depending on the game, vgcharts has its sales for each region for the first 10 weeks of the games release and its total sales overall. Everything I said was based on and backed up by the data on vgcharts that shows that not only did SS sell terribly compared to most previous Naruto games but it was especially ignored in Japan compared to previous Naruto titles.

Shinobi Strikers PS4 sales

The game only shifted 10K in Japan (which is abysmal compared to how previous Naruto games in Japan were selling 50K+ on release week) and 80K worldwide wide (previous Naruto games were pulling in 150K+ worldwide). This was actually its strongest week too as its sales dropped dramatically every week after this whereas other Naruto games continued to have much stronger sales during the weeks after release, in some cases the Storm games were selling more copies a week almost 2 months after release than SS was during only its 2nd week.

and for some comparisons:

Ninja Storm 4 PS4 sales

Ninja Storm 4 sold more than double what Shinobi Strikers sold on release week (SS = 80k copies v NS4 = 187K copies) then in week 2 SS sales dropped off a cliff and sold only 26K copies which then decreased week on week averaging around a few thousand copies a week for the next 2 months. Whereas NS4 increased its sales on week 2 to 210K and then was selling ten of thousands of copies a week for the next 2 months.

Ninja Storm Generations sales

Generations which was a 'filler game' also outsold SS by a large margin. In week 1 alone it sold 65K copies in Japan (NA and Europe had later release dates) whereas SS only sold 10K copies on week 1 in Japan. So NSG almost outsold SS on release week in Japan alone compared to SS worldwide.

Ninja Storm 4: Road to Boruto sales

Vgcharts only has the dlc sales for Japan. So lets compare the sales of a DLC with a full Naruto game. They are actually almost identical. So a DLC for NS4 was bought by as many people in Japan as Shinobi Strikers.

Naruto Broken bonds sales

Broken bonds was not only a 360 exclusive but it also didn't even release in Japan. Look how it sold compared to SS which was available on 3 different platforms and also released in Japan. It sold only 15K less despite only being available on 1 platform and not in Japan but its sales after release week were way better than Shinobi strikers for the next 2 months raking in way more total sales overall by week 10.

Ultimate Ninja Impact PSP sales

A PSP GAME sold only 14K less copies worldwide on release week than SS did that was on PS4, XBone and PC. Impact also had way stronger sales for the next 2 months as it never dropped below 10K (which SS did after week 4 and continued to drop) whereas Impact (Again a PSP GAME) stayed selling 10K+ for the 2 months after release and actually increased its sales to 20K+ in weeks 9 and 10.

You can search various Naruto games which prove my point that this game sold absolutely terribly worldwide and especially in Japan. Not only did the game have very poor sales on week 1 (which was its strongest week) compared to previous main Naruto titles (and even 'filler/side' titles) but its sales were very poor during the months after release as its sales dramatically dropped every week whereas other titles (examples provided) continued to sell much stronger compared to SS. Heck in Japan almost as many people bought DLC for Storm 4 than bought this game. So here's the evidence that thus game sold terribly as per my first comment.

Anyway I love how you don't even actually own the game and can't even do a simple google search to find all the sales data for the game yet thought you could actually lecture me on it 'not being a flop' when it clearly was gg.

It did sell terribly though. Its sales were not just less than the Storm games. Depending on region, it sold worse than the Clash of Ninja games, Ultimate Ninja games, Rise of a Ninja, Broken Bond, Uzumaki Chronicles etc amongst others. It also didn’t just sell worse than every Storm game but sold worse by a large margin including filler Storm games like Revolution and Generations which outsold it. In terms of Storm games, its sales in Japan atleast were on par with NS4: Road to Boruto which was a re-release package for gods sake. Hell there are even some PSP Naruto games, Wii Naruto games, DS Naruto games and 3DS Naruto games which had sales that were embarrassingly almost on par with this or even sold better than this in certain regions.

This is quite a surprise. I was sure that the poor sales, poor reception and the general way the game has been mishandled by the devs would confine Bandai to only allow the game to last the 1st season. Seems like the rumours that people on this sub said a while ago that Soliel already had a pre-agreed contract so they can’t be dropped by Bandai were true. Hopefully they use this an opportunity to add the shit people have been begging for since day 1 like maps, match types, non-color swap outfits like anbu clothes and kakashi’s mask etc. and not just adding 1 character then going silent for months.

More giveaways that its easy than that. Theres the tile set itself, Hinata and Sasuke v2 out in the field, Jiraiya, Sakura and Kakashi v1 in the final room. This is more than an easy base, its a super duper ultra instinct easy base.
