Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2

[4649]

Anybody play this? Tier list? Broken stuff? Scene?

[lxMetalSonicxl]

Hahahaha.

[Heroic_Legacy]

CoN still has a strong scene in chicago and whatnot. UNS is considered the red headed stepchild of the Naruto games. No skill and completely pointless.

[Ichipoo]

Kirin Sasuke/A-Hidan/G-Kakuzu is basically my "be gay and win all the time" team. It's VERY versatile.

Baiting GTFO moves like Shinra Tensei, Shugo Hakke: Rokujuuyonshou, Kaiten, etc. whether it's the jutsu itself or the support are like baitin DPs/SRKs.

Anyway if you want to play me, just message me on my PSN. As you can see, I'm currently taking a long break from BlazBlue and I won't play until Platinum and the patch is releasd.

the game is fun when messing around with friends, but ranked turns into nothing but sage naruto's, minato's and akatsuki's.

what's the point in putting 42 characters in the game when you make 9 of those so much more godly than the rest?

I main Karin so I know the gap between god and normal characters =p

Sound familiar anybody?

[Xtra_Zero]

This game looks gorgeous, but it has less strategy in it than the Narutimate Hero series, which had nearly none in the first place. GNT3/4 are still the best Naruto fighters.

[Senaro Highwind]

I really enjoy this game, and the only character who seems ridiculously OP right now would be Deidara. I main Kiba and Tobi most of the time. Easily the best Naruto game to date. I do get some good laughs at all of the Minato/Sage Naruto running around online. Only lost to one once.

[Heroic_Legacy]

UNS1? Yeah. Find a reason to not use Itachi/Ino/Tenten and I'll tell you that you just lost because you didn't pick Itachi/Ino/Tenten.

[Black Onslaught]

S.Naruto/Minato/Pain for god tier in this bitch

runner up is Itachi with his Jesus Chakra Backdash, gdlk super mode, and unblockable setups with Amaterasu

[Senaro Highwind]

Just went online again. Combo team with Sage Naruto and Minato? I bet nobody has ever thought of THAT before! I love beating people when their strategy off the bat is "Rasen-shuriken, charge, repeat"

[Black Onslaught]

I meant for 1v1 with no assists

asissts make this shit almost as broken as Mahvel

...almost

[Senaro Highwind]

Luckily, you can choose to play with/without assists online, so you're not forced to play one way or the other.

Eeeeh I was referring to MvC2 where only a handful are playable in high level/high stakes matches but I guess that works too lol.

Sooo uhh, just found out that Hidan can ougi after his Chakra Dash hits.

[Varuth]

So, do any of you guys who got this game feel like they wasted their money? Im still thinking about getting this game.

[rei-Scarred]

This game should be renamed to "How hard can you mash R2" Storm. That said I got my platinum trophy so I won't be turning it on again for a while. I used Kakuzu/Hidan/Orochimaru. It was a meh team with nothing broken (kakuzu awakening is kinda good) but I still kicked ass with it.

If you're a Naruto fan, then yes $60 + tax is worth the money, if you are both a Naruto fan and looking for polished fighter, $40 would've been better IMO.

But I'm not going to deny the beautiful visuals this game has.

This game should be renamed to "How hard can you mash R2" Storm.

I personally switched the Guard/KnJ buttons to L1/R1, more responsive IMO.

[psycofang2]

about itachi boys awakening. can you not block that shit? ive used it repeatedly and well...everyone keeps getiing hit. and everyone mashes block on that game...its so stupid...you can even warp out of grabs XD.

[Senaro Highwind]

I feel like this game was totally worth my money. You can wait for it to get cheaper if you like, but you're not going to find a better Naruto game anywhere. The only thing I think would have made it PERFECT would be to implement the platforming of the Broken Bond game. This game has the best fighting, while Bonds has the best world exploration.

After about two hits you dizzy so blocking is pointless. The susanoo's attacks count as a support so instead of substituting behind youll just go straight up and fall back into it. aaaaand that's why people call it broken. on the other hand since he cant substitute thats the one flaw.

To beat Itachi's awakening for the most part:

Use Hidan support, run away until Hidan support recovers, wait till he is right next to you and summon Hidan. Wait till Hidan's combo finishes and then start your character's longest combo. By then Itachi's awakening will be almost over and you'll have done a lot of damage to him in the process.

Every other awakening is garbage in this game and doesnt need a strategy.

[Setsuna]

Hidan support so broken

On contact if the opponent is blocking its a free grab, if it hits them its a free ultimate ninjutsu. The only way out of it is to actually know the timing with your substitution jutsu. I discovered this myself (to my knowledge anyway :P)

[PandaKingEX]

Hidan is actually pretty crappy against decent players. You can substitute his hits, and then flip away to avoid the rest. If your opponent tries to grab, you can just substitute it and punish them in the back. You can also buffer your chakra and go for a KnJ cancel jutsu/ougi. He is good for distracting your opponent so you can charge, or whatever, but I prefer someone like Chiyo when it comes to hit confirming into specials, and dealing damage.

[Setsuna]

Yeah but a majority of the players i faced online werent decent at all, every single one of them fell for Hidan xP

[Alex073088]

the game is a waste of money, i mained sakura. And did very well. However, the game doesnt catter to characters who need to attack up close. Pressure on block is unsafe, and you can warp during block strings and oki right behing the opponent for free. YOU dont even have to intelligently press the guard button to warp. You can fuckin mash it, and then rasengan right behind you! making it very difficult to play characters like sakura and chiyo.

[Ichipoo]

What I observed so far is that the only "safe" way to combo the opponent is by short hopping and aerial comboing them. Even if they KnJ the combo, at least you're not open to a jutsu or an ougi. It's also best if you hold the guard buttons while short hop attacking since just in case your opponent blocks your short hopped aerial combo starter, the game "option selects" into a grab right when you land, though it's best if you don't do this while on autopilot since the opponent can capitalize on whiffed grabs with a free jutsu/ougi.

Also, characters with grabs that can lead into a Strike Back support while in Support Drive if you have an Attack support is so gdlk. I've gotten so many wins in Player Matches today as Hinata, Suigetsu and Hinata due to this simple combo.

Grab > Strike Back > Ougi

If you have 2 Attack supports, you can extend it like so for extra damage.

Grab > Strike Back > Grab > Strike Back > Ougi

And it isn't so difficult landing a grab on an opponent in this game. Predicting your opponent will just spam projectiles? Chakra Dash into Grab. Opponent blocks your short hopped combo starter? Option select into a grab. Opponent is being braindead by just holding the guard button when they wake up from a techroll or a knockdown? Chase their tech and Wakeup/Okizeme grab them. Do that while in Support Drive with at least one Attack support and you have a free opportunity to ougi them.

Characters with Paper Bombs, Bomb Balls (whatever they're called), and in Shikamaru's special case, an explosive kunai as his "Chakra Item" have another viable option for triggering Strike Backs since those items cause knockbacks when hit.
