My level of expectancy for the Rookies ended when they got their War Outfits, anything after that was just bonus for me. Such as Chouji's Butterfly form or Tenten's Banana Fan.
What I don't understand is why they should waste their time updating characters that don't necessarily need it. They got the updates they need, that's all there is to it. It's not like they're not adding Butterfly Chouji, he is still in the game. It'd be a whole other thing if say, Naruto didn't get his Kyuubi Chakra Mode, or any different combos in that mode because he fights completely differently, but most of the Konoha Eleven's play style hasn't changed, and if they have then it's reflected in their awakening. With their level of relevance in Shippuden they could easily not be playable, and I'm always scratching my head as to why they, in Shippuden games, are usually almost one hundred percent confirmed even thought hey barley even fight. But if it's to appease those 'Part One' fans, I guess they have to be in it. Don't get me wrong, the war is a strong time when the rookies are shown, but even then they are shafted. Ino, Shikamaru, and Primarily Chouji get one fight, while Tenten's, Neji's, Lee's, Hinata's, Kiba's, Shino's, and Sakura's are all off paneled. They haven't shown too much to deserve upgrades at all, but you can't blame that on CC2, you can blame that on their low portrayal in the war thanks to Kishimoto. (But even then, he has to make a lot of decisions on a weekly basis) Essentially what I'm trying to say is, don't like it? Deal with it, it's what is being given to us. If you hate it so bad then don't waste your time writing about it on a forum which the developers will never read; go out and e-mail them, and then rant. Bringing negative emotions about something you dislike will do nothing but piss those off who are enjoying what is going on with the game. Like really, here is an example for me: Hidan is my favorite character of all time, and I would LOVE to see a new ultimate from him. However the case is he is highly irrelevant to the story now, and to ask a new ultimate for a character that's essentially done nothing for the series is ridiculous. Instead they should be focusing on the aspects that need updating, like they have with Chouji and Tenten. Everything else? It's not necessary, it's just extra fluff which they could be using somewhere else.

But I can see the reason for it, the ability was a very small portion of his skill set, and didn't completely reflect on his fighting skills. They take what has been given to them in terms of the manga and continue from there. In fact, the Konoha 11's move-sets are almost entirely filler simply because there is nothing to go off from. What do you want them to do? Replace Kiba's random kicks with random punches? So in essence they aren't misrepresenting anything that they've done, because they haven't done anything. Of course you could base it off their Part One moveset, but then they'd just be a carbon-copy of their Storm One moves, and we wouldn't want a Clash of Ninja scenario would we? Of course the other characters have had more work done on them, and that's because they've actually shown feats of what they can do. People like Killer Bee are constantly getting upgrades because they have been shown in the spotlight more, they have shown more actions and abilities, thus they deserve the upgrade more. Yes every ultimate ninja game they did happen to get an update on ultimate's, but that was because they were showcasing their abilities back then. In Shippuden they hardly ever fight, thus they can't represent what an ultimate would be like. Not only that, but it should be obvious that it takes more work to create the ultimate's in the Storm series versus in the Ultimate Ninja games. Besides the more time they spend updating on a character which doesn't need sever updating, the less time they can spend on developing characters that need it, like Bee, or developing new characters, like the Jinchuriki or even Madara. Yes I do happen to see your point, but the cost value of losing a new ultimate or combo from the Rookies is less than what we can obtain.

............... The Original Sage

I expected nothing new from the Konoha 11+Sai besides the war outfits, so I'm happy with what we actually got.
I definitely didin't expect the Banana fan for Tenten at all even if its just what seems to be her Awakening Action.

Also no, every fighting game doesn't update their characters. In fact, most fighting games recycle characters movesets. Many Naruto games such as the Clash of Ninja games and even the Ultimate Ninja games recycled a bunch of movesets. Not only that, casual fighters like Super Smash Brothers Brawl has recycled movesets all the way from the first game without a single change. Marvel vs Capcom is also known for recycling some movesets, so basically, that point is mute. Also I know he does that, but it's still fairly short range. I'm talking about a legitimate long range attack like he did against Asuma. Regardless I can see why they didn't add it, because it wouldn't mesh well with his fighting style that they placed for him inside the game. I agree with that though, Tsunade should have been using her Seal since Storm One. Don't know why they never added it though. Maybe in this game they'll add it, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. As for Sai, yes, since he has shown that technique in manga canon, I am some what expecting an update for him in the ultimate. Unless of course he gets the giant brush and drawing pad in his awakening and fights with the tiger; that would be acceptable as well.

Honestly it is special, because Tenten had only shown to use the fan one time(And I am not even sure if that was her attack or Asuma's, the anime interpreted as Tenten's). I am content with the minor changes that the K11 got, I never really cared for them too much in the first place(Except for Neji and Hinata). I am more interested in the updates they bring to the fighting modes, since that is what keeps it ultimately different from the previous games.
And to be quite honest, the number one reason why I buy Storm games is for the Story mode, not for the fighting. The Ultimate Ninja games are not supposed to be traditional fighter games, and so shouldn't be expected to follow the same traditions as other fighters. You have to remember that with any anime game, the Gameplay and Story must come first, followed by the Characters, and then their moveset. CC2 can spend a lot of time on the moveset, or they can spend that same amount of time on a new character. Personally I would prefer a new character over a new moveset for a pre existing character that hasn't changed too much in the story arcs covered. I can understand why one would want Ino to have a different ultimate(Her ultimate sucks), but there is no new feats she has shown(Except for the double mind transfer) which probably would be clunky to transfer from a move to an actual ultimate. If she would have gotten a better ultimate, it would have to have been in Storm 2, when they all got new movesets and models. Yes some of the characters need updates, but not at the cost of some of the other newer characters.

The main problem with Ino taking over Zetsu bodies is that it would be completely random in her ultimate where two Zetsu's would just appear behind her to take control of. In fact, they could replicate her feat of taking control of two minds by having her summon that Yamanaka doll that Fu summoned against Ao to fight. Also no, many fighters don't update a lot, and especially anime fighters. Looking at the Naruto franchise, the Clash of Ninja series is the worst, where they even recycled the movesets from Part One for the Shippuden Rookies. There are others like Dragon Ball Z where Tien keeps being added into the games even though he isn't even fighting anymore (well much anyways). Would you say his over all relevance needed any upgrades? No, it didn't, and thus he didn't get any. On the other hand someone like Vegeta who got Super Saiyan Two needed the upgrade, thus his character was upgraded. Yes it would be cool to see the characters like Ino who have a horrible ultimate get an upgrade, but she hasn't done anything overly awesome to really warrant a new ultimate. Essentially what I'm trying to say is, the Konoha 11 are like the Yamcha and Tien of Naruto. They need to be spending more time on the 'Vegeta' of the series (Killer Bee, Sasuke, Naruto, Tobi, etc.) which actually needs a new move-set/ultimate due to the circumstances of which their character is currently in, not based on fan demand.

As far as the current Jutsu for Hinata, yes, that is still filler, however I'm talking about new content. It doesn't matter what they have done in the past, what they said they were doing for this game is keeping close to the manga. By not changing Hinata's Jutsu it isn't defying this statement, since it came from a earlier game. While in some fighter games a few characters may get some new moves, the majority stick with what they were given in past games. Trust me, CC2 isn't the only company to be doing this. (I could argue that giving Tenten the Banana fan is more than what you can ask from a lot of fighters, but I won't go there) Also no new characters? Let's see: The six Jinchuriki, Darui, Hanzo, Mifune, and many more unconfirmed. A few off the top of my mind are Nagato, The Second Mizukage, Muu, Gaara's Father, The Third Raikage, Kinkaku, Ginkaku, War Mask Tobi, Madara, EMS Sasuke, Biju Mode Naruto, and perhaps even Sage Kabuto. There are about Fifty-two returning characters (If my math is correct about the 41 from Storm 2 and the 11 from Storm 3) then that leaves room for about thirty new characters since it was confirmed for over eighty characters. I wouldn't call that a small amount of new characters.

And i'm pretty sure costumes don't count as two slots. If so, generations would have a lot more "characters". Besides, in one of the first interviews, which I'll post tomorrow, they mention all characters from generations minus the kids were returning. People here on this discussion have been asking for it. Pretty much bro. They show the kages fight in February in the anime, so yeah, they're going to be in the game. |
