totally disagree what would be the point of that? no character should have a vast advantage in strength compared to another, its just silly. People should be able to pick whatever character they like and still be on a even playing field otherwise people would constantly just pick the strong characters and the game would be beyond broken + it will further discourage people picking the characters they actually like in the series.

Thats still better then the wrong charcters being overpowered like tenten. Id rather get own by madara then something like karin. The powerfull charcters should feel powerfull. And just have small little advantages like being slightly faster , having slightly more etc thats usually the way its done in anime fighting games. Not too big just make the people feel like their playing high end characters.

Besides all this i really want a complete charcter roster i dont mind if they dont have silly things like iruka, ina-chika-cho dads , konohamaru etc because they dont do much and arent that important to the story.

What i do mind is key antagonists missing. like hiruko(sasori not the lame guy from the movie) and not having the sound 4 in storm 1. while they were the final enemys of the final arc of naruto(pts)
its like having a bleach game go up to the fullbring arc but having no espada. There is no way you can overlook them.

Also annoying are key moves or key powerboosts(usually in the form of awakenings) missing. Like Butterfly choji(again important moment in naruto), tsunade with her forehead seal unlocked(why not it doesnt have to heal her) shukaku gaara etc.

And Characters who have shown so many moves but end up with a generic moveset like jiraiya ended up being not much different the other rasengan characters. while he has shown fire jutsu, swamp jutsu idk how many toads summons, toad flame bomb, gamabunta so many jutsu and they end up giving him a rasengan as a jutsu which is shared by 3 or more characters.

And finally characters being far underpowered or slow. Like jiraiya and hashirama they are elite ninja both kage lvl why make them so slow. kiba is faster why? it has never been stated that these charcter are slow so why make them play like a slug.

I really hope they dont pull those things on us in storm 3

Y'know I wish they actually did what you suggest JUST SO you see how wrong you are.

if they arn't going to have awakening animation they should at least do an in battle animation.

for instance see tsunade's ying seal spread even if it is still spreading during combo finisher show it continue in the finisher.

see narutos kyuubi chakra mode spread from his back uzamaki clan symbal to cover his body.

puff of smoke and summoning seals on the ground for hanzo's ibuse etc.

see chojis butterfly wings grow and his size increase.

see susanoo grow through layers

I think only forms like Susanoo and tailed beasts should be awakenings. The other stuff like BF Choji, KCM Naruto. CS Sasuke, that should be a permanent form and that way awakenings aren't as much overpowered.

If you mean in Storm 1, it would be Naruto, Guy with 8 gates activated, Jiraiya and Itachi.

In Storm 2, it was Naruto: Rasenshuriken. I also liked Minato. I did play with Sage Mode Naruto, and while it's true, he was powerful, but too stiff. I still liked to play as him, after all, he is one of the strongest characters up to the Pain arc. Speaking of Pain, he was kinda weak but I did play with him quite much, considering he was so powerful in the story.

In Storm Generations, the late Naruto would be my favourite, though Sage Mode was made much better than in Storm 2. Pain also became more versatile. Minato was still great. Oh, and Hashirama and Tobirama, too!!!

In Storm 3, my favorite characters will probably be Naruto, Tobi, Madara, Kabuto and Minato!!!

jiraiya's ougi could be the genjutsu he used on pain

or the massive rasengan he did to take out one of the pain bodies in the storm 2 boss battle before he fell into the water. that would be a good one

[megabbaut]

Well he already has a massive rasengan as an ultimate. We don't need another one.

nice try but....argh....imo that would be too similar to what he has ...I would like the swamp frog jutsu or the genjitsu he did to pain. The storm 1 jutsu would be a nice welcome also but ...for some reason I think they will leave him the way he is.

anyhow to change gears Im kinda surprised suggestions are being taken so early. I did not mail mine in just yet I am aware that I shouldnt take too long to write them in but I really want to gather ideas first..... how many of you sent in your suggestions already? and what did you ask for ? /....hmmm it makes me wonder.. ps itachidarkcrow I think I already know what you want *cough* but the rest of you are being kinda mysterious.

how could they ignore bunta

Indeed!

I hope to see Manda, Gamabunta and lady "crazyname" make a return for Storm 3. Hopefully as a second Ultimate.

We all do seem pretty positive that Jiraya will be in arent we? Altough he has nothing to do with the war.

What do you guys think about other characters not in the war?

Jiraya, First Hokage, Second Hokage, Hidan...will they all be in?
And then how about Anko and Sound 4? (and to a lesser degree also kurenai and Shizune)

I already posted literally what I wrote to them. Here it is!!!

I think substitutions should not be limited with substitution bar but rather by Chakra like in Storm 2.

You should be able to choose character with awakening already activated and which would last entire battle.

The story mode should be long and cinematic. Adventure Mode like in Storm 2 but in a complete 3D free roam, not 2.5 like in Storm 2 would be nice, too.

Also, having more things to do in Free Roam, other than just fighting would be great. And also having more missions after completing the game in Free Roam.
After the main story was finished in Storm 2, you were left with few short missions. After you completed them, there was nothing else to do.
Only VS Mode and Online Mode were left.

Cancelling shouldn't be done by Chakra dashing but rather with its own button.

Each character should have more than one Jutsu. And he should be able to perform all those Jutsu in a single battle, not choose one before battle.

In vs battle you should be able to have team battle or single battle or single one vs a team. In other words, it should be possible to choose only one character with no support and fight character with supports.

Game doesn't have to be "balanced". Stronger characters in story should be stronger in the game, too. Otherwise, feeling the character you control is not possible.

Computer A.I should be much stronger. Up to now, A.I is really weak even on super hard difficulty.

Hopefully, they will do this!!!

What do you mean the movesets the awakenings or the slight advantages for stronger chars?


Jiraiya really shoudlnt have something else then rasengan for his jutsu and ougi has much more cooler stuff.

I also never got why tsunade doesnt have an katsuyu ultimate (same for oro and manda) they would be so much better then there current ultimates.

And hiruko sasori is like one of the most visually pleasing chars in naruto idk i just love the huge tail.

the current edo tensei madara and the one that fought hashirama.
i want a madara in the game that relies on his sharingan abilities alone with a combo attack with the kyuubi as an ultimate. maybe madara does a huge fire style tech then the kyuubi uses tbb on the burning target. edo madara can use mokuton then drop a meteor as an ultimate. they would both have perfect susano awakenings.

well cc2 is known for doing things like that for example in generation I really liked having different narutos and itachis and sasukes, garra kakashi, and ect you get my point ....hahah basically I would miss my akatsuki cloak sasuke and goofy toby ect ...so I can see why it would be important to have a "different madara" I think the blue uchiha suit would be suitable as the other choice...

well I agree with about everything listed and it was a pleasure reading it and I started to get ideas while I was reading yours haha anyhow I especially like the one about the dash having its own bar or meter.

[Uchiha Sora]

@Vampio Are you kidding? Of course characters like Jiraiya will still be playable.. Lol.
Jiraiya is such an important character, how could they NOT have him in the game? Just because it's covering the war arc doesn't mean non-war characters won't be in. You can still expect every time skip character to be in. Minato isn't a war character yet he's in

Anko has a slim chance, Sound 4 maybe considering

Spoiler:

they showed up with Kabuto, but thee probably be support only

I really hope the developers keep as many of the chars as possible especially due to the fact that space has to be left for story mode I can understand why some people are nervous especially when it comes to the characters and costumes they want. I am glad this was already asked in the interview however we still have to wait to really see what happens.
