Lol been a bit since I started talking on this. It seems like everyone is definatly having fun with the game and all the "bad things" about it have been quickly forgotton.

Just few minutes ago I finally unlocked every character after getting Super Kyuubi Naruto. Spent all last night playing so I could make sure I have everyone before Friday...No matter what anyone tells you this game is great. The 3 man cell once you have everyone unlocked with all of the various 3 man selections is great and a joy to play.

I guess only thing left to do is finish up missions and see if there are anything else added like specials....but that is least of my worries now as the game runs fine without it. But if anyone has questions on some chars just let me know,t hough I see someone else managed to unlock them all before me. Yay for dedication!

The one friend I usually play GNT3 with hasn't seen past episode 128, so we're going to have to sit down and watch those last 6 episodes before we start on the game. I'm hoping it shows up Saturday ... I really should have sprung for 2nd day at least. :sad

Yeah tailed Naruto (that's what I'm going to call him from now on) is really fun to play with, probably my favorite new character, and the Sandaime versus the sannin was a bitch, i beat it with a sliver of my health! I don't know how I'm going to beat the Naruto versus Oro and his gang mission though.

Thanks GekigangerV. Editing a wiki is nothing more than clicking the 'Edit' button and changing the text. It's quite easy. ;)

It is pretty easy, thanks. BTW, I translated B-149 if anyone was wondering.

Okay, now that I've unlocked all of the characters I've moved on to the 3-man team matches. The team specials are pretty impressive this time around. I know that there are team specials for specific groups (i.e. Team 7), but how about the other groups such as the sharingan team (sasuke, Itachi, kakashi), Itachi uses his MS, and sasuke and kakashi use their chidori's simutaneously or the Sanin group (Tsunade, Oro, and Jiryia) each of them summon their creatures. Is there any other group I'm missing other than the standard teams ? :oh

11-24-2005, 01:15 AM

Thanks for the pic...okay here's a list of the "team specific special"

Press Forward, X to start special

Naruto ~ Sasuke ~ Sakura
Shikamaru ~ Ino ~ Chouji
Kiba ~ Shino ~ Hinata
Neji ~ Lee ~ TenTen
Gaara ~ Kankurou ~ Temari
Orochimaru ~ Jiraiya ~ Tsunade
Itachi ~ Sasuke ~ Kakashi
Kidoumaru ~ Jiroubou ~ Sakon
Orochimaru ~ Kabuto ~ Kimimaro
Temari ~ Shikamaru
Kankurou ~ Kiba
Gaara ~ Lee

*Bold*: groups that are not standard xD

For the one with only 2 fighters any third person can be added as long as you don't use the third character to launch the attack.

11-24-2005, 01:26 AM

Of course you can use the sound four in any combination.

Kira Yamato

11-24-2005, 02:16 AM

Okay, I took out the Sasuke CS2 and Orochimaru team special, because I found out there is is none XD

My favorite team special had to be the Orochimaru, Kimimaro, and kabuto team special...nothing like seeing Oro with a Big-ass sword to brighten ones day :laugh

*phew* I've been playing so much Naruto that my head hurts.:S It's just very fun when playing with others either in one-on-one or four player free-for-all. It's easy to forget the time when doing so though.:P *phew* It's been about 4 months since I've put in this many hours on a game though.XD It should cool down after a bit though. Hehe, I probably won't be playing it too much after a week or so.^_^ Maybe I'll just unlock a mission a day or so.:P It would take quite a while otherwise.

Yeah, One-Tailed Naruto is pretty cool, but I noticed that it's hard to control him. It's easier to chain attacks with CS2 Sasuke.

Oh, and it was actually pretty easy doing the Naruto vs Kimimaro, Kabuto, and Orochimaru mission.:amuse

Kashama

11-24-2005, 02:44 AM

I can't seem to unlock CS2 sasuke...I did 120 missions( i didn't count 120 missions when i counted though, i counted 87) But i have everyone of the characters except him and One tail naruto.

EDIT oh yeah, i have a coupon for 5$ off the next play-Asia purchase(it has a code on it) so if anyone still hasn't bought it or if your planning on getting something from play asia before January, Message me. im certain i won't need it, i have GNT 4 :amuse '

If worse goes to worst you could always set the difficulty to one.

Sorry Joey_Boy, but the D-Pad is unusable un NGT 4...

Kira Yamato

11-24-2005, 10:43 AM

you guys I'm selling mines. for 50 bucks on Ebay if any1 is instrested.

Already? :S

I just spent 2 1/2 days unlocking everyone...so that is the furthest thing from my mind.

I can't imagine selling any of my GNT games. *even though I don't play 2 or 3 now much XD*

Did you at least unlock all the charcaters before deciding to sell it...or did you just decide to sell it after a couple of days of gameplay?

The loss of the D-Pad was a major setback initially. Before I played this game I have never used an analog stick for a GNT game. It took me about an hour to get use to playing with it, but the fact that I've unlocked all the characters and beaten some of the hardest S-Rank missions is a testatment that anyone can use the analog stick :laugh

After learning the 3-man specials and unlocking all the characters, the only thing's left is to head out to my University and play with close to dozen people waiting to play 4-player mode with all the new characters xD

Setting the difficulty to 1 will just make the missions easier to do. granted the 1 vs 3 are still kinda hard, but as soon as you take one of the people out on the 1 vs 3 with the difficulty at that level, its pie.(the sann-nin one is still kinda hard because they deplete your shield so damn fast ><)

I unlocked all confirmed characters and everything since I got the game....
The only people who are broke that I could find are...

Super Saiyan Naruto
Akamaru
Karasu

And thankfully, Itachi is no longer broken. Nor is Neji. For that matter, everyone is pretty stable, stages are beautiful, and multiplayer was insanely upgraded. Why the hell would any NOT get this game or SELL IT?

Also, in addition to all the things others have found who own this game, I made an exciting discovery!
As you do more of the 300+ missions, new animations for special moves in addition to new backgrounds open up. Hope it helped. Once in multiplayer I did Neji's Hakke Roku Juu Yonshu and the camera went as insane as what happened in Naruto's Naruto Rendan or Ino's Shintenshin no jutsu:amuse

Hope that helped the other people unlocking stuff. I <3 this game a lot.

Kabuto
CS2 Sasuke
Sasuke without headband

My team that makes this game so worth it.

11-25-2005, 07:46 AM

I finally got my game this morning(arrived on monday, long story)...

from 10am to 6pm... give or take an hour to eat... and with a friend helping out (by not going insane by myself)

-Got to unlock Orochimaru, so I must have around 65+ missions done
-Kisame challenged me and I unlocked him
-stages... I dont remember how many are unlocked, but in the missiones I´ve seen many... around 8 new stages, which is pretty good I guess(for all the lazy work they did all around).
-Main menu changed to winter setting.

not bad for 1 day... tomorrow nite I´ll have some help to finish the tedious work to unlock the remaining characters.

^Just pure dumb luck.

You can get Gai's at any time in the game; just need to be lucky.

For the Kabuto one, you need to have Tsunade unlocked though, and for the Kyuubi Naruto w/one-tail, you need CS2 Sasuke.

couldn't have said it better...

i'll only add that KyubiNaruto is the most powerful/fast character you ever saw in all NGTs...

For some reason CS2 sasuke isn't unlocking for me.. i keep looking in the practice section, but he's not there. maybe there's something else that need to be done?
Im thinking it's something that most people would do anyway( yea i completed story mode) and i've done around 127 missions( i unlocked awakened hinata, a while ago) maybe theres a certain amount of a certain mission i have to do or something =/
Someone help me :crying

i need shadow mode!!!! ive done like 150 missions or so, and am yet to complete 5 S rank ones, what do i have to do to unlock it????

also yeah this game rules, only problem is those missions where u have to hit iruka with big combos.. umm all it takes it one tap of the X button with Neji :)

FFLN

11-26-2005, 03:09 AM

*grumbles* I can only play this game for an hour or so before my head begins to ache.:S Well... moreso when I'm doing those C-Rank missions. It takes a bit longer with multiple players though, since people switch in and out depending upon the winners and losers.;)

Hm, has anyone seen a different pre and post fight scene for Souken Hinata? The only ones I remember are the "Ikimasu" and "Korega Souken no Chikara". Hm.=\ She's less talkative than Hinata. *sigh* Otherwise, I'll just wait until I've unlocked the sound test for her and check on there... although that will take a while considering how boring those "missions" are.:P

You unlock S-Rank missions by getting lucky and having them pop up. I just kept on going back forth between the start screen and the menu, in order to get all of the missions to be given out.

hahaha u smart ass i did the exact same thing!

Kashama

11-26-2005, 04:03 AM

I know most of us are over this, but i saw something interesting that makes perfect sense. those moves, the special ones that we all wanted to be in the anime, and for the game to "follow the anime"...
All of those specials were truly "desperation" specials, which required tons of chakra( well not chouji's/lee's but ill get to that) and they also were the things to obliterate the enemy. So if we did have those, then They would be really overpowered(like some characters *cough*)

Then how would the game punish you? youd still only lose your chakra bar, and also the specials would be pretty overpowered. With lee's i can't really put that much info for him, but oh well.
Neiji, wouldn't it do 2x the damage of his regular 64? that'd be overpowered. and chouji would lose a huge chunk of his life/life degen to do the pill poppin. well i guess that could be solved with transformations like lee's gates.

Question: are you guys sure the difficulty has nothing to do with missions? because it's hard to do 1 vs 3 on difficulty 2, what difficulty are you guys using?

FFLN

11-26-2005, 05:00 AM

Just use 1. It's not like you're playing the missions for a challenge anyway.:P

yatesl

11-26-2005, 12:13 PM

I use 2. 'Cause I'm bad ass, like that. The game isn't exactly hard, anyway.

By the way, what do you do for those "Strongest Rival" A Rank missions? I have one for Jiraiya, and I've played through (with a guest appearance from Orochimaru, which was kind), but it didn't say mission complete or anything.

Do I have to finish them with specials or something?

TenshiOni

11-26-2005, 12:16 PM

Strongest rival A rank missions?

I'm only familiar with the S-rank ones.

yatesl

11-26-2005, 12:35 PM

Hmm... On the GameFAQs guide (which I'm using for translation), it says "023- Strongest Rival - Jiraiya", under A Missions.

You have to be Jiraiya on the mission, so I assumed it was right. Could anybody tell me what to do in the mission anyway, if it's not a Strongest Rival?

TenshiOni

11-26-2005, 12:42 PM

024. Finish score attack without using a continue using Jiraiya. Defeat the rival that'll pop-up.

All you got to do is beat the score attack mode and fight whoever comes out to fight you. Mind you, I think you need to make Jiraiya's point quota of 80,000.

11-26-2005, 01:54 PM

The game would've been 10/10 perfect in my book if it included those specials.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not one of those people who're bitching and moaning about it. This game is WELL worth the money.

9.9/10 XD

Kira Yamato

11-26-2005, 02:06 PM

I have to say the game was pretty sweet 9.5/10

The missions are pretty challenging and numerous (although kind of repetitive, i.e. 10-person survival mode for every charcater) But the game has some pretty cool upgrades. 3-Man team specials are my fav. upgrade (like Team Orochimaru, Kabuto, Kimmaro,-->gotta love Oro's sword xD). The character additions such as the Sound 4, Kimmaro, Awakened Hinata, Kisame, Kabuto, Kyuubi Naruto, CS2 Sasuke are welcomed additions that keeps the game play fresh. I know some people complained about not having a 3rd special for the other characters, but it isn't so much of a big deal to me. It just leaves more possibilities for the next GNT game, plus they tweaked a few of the moves (i.e. Naruto's Kage Bunshin no jutsu, instead of the sexy-no jutsu) and different cameras angles for certain specials. All in all the game is a definite must-buy for naruto fans.

# 002. Gain 100 000 in single player score attack using Sasuke.

I can only gain roughly half that. Any tips?I don't actually have this game yet, so forgive me if I say something stupid. But assuming the scoring is similar to that of the third game. Then the best method is to use attacks which hit alot, but do very little damage. Examples are several character's Forward-A Fire (such as Sasuke), and Orochimaru/Anko's snakes.

THE BEST way to do it is too aset the number of matches higher, if you do that, its pie. also, do the katon gokakyuu, it does quite a few hits.

Anyone else tried havning two CS2 sasuke's doing their down x at the same time? ownage. and i can't beleive that fireball is blockable.... unbeleivable.

Also i just realized, when naruto dowes back x and goes kyuubi, he takeks MUCH moe damage than before which i think is unfair seeing as how his life degenerates as well.

ShadelessNyght

11-26-2005, 09:12 PM

I didn't do the Two Sasuke's with Down +X.....but me and my friends this weekend did however have Sasuke use his giant Fireball Against Kimimaro's Bone Graveyard....Let me put it this way the nose it made was weird as they fought and we were afraid the game would freeze/blow up.

The same is true for Zabuza if you launch it into his Down+X. It will prevent him from behind hurt as he spins like a top and cuts away at the fireballs.

Zeno

11-26-2005, 10:07 PM

I keep hearing "Oh this character is broken" etc. What do you mean? Just that the character is cheap, or is actually bugged? How is Itachi no longer "broken"?

FFLN

11-27-2005, 12:07 AM

Itachi wasn't "broken", but he was just overwhelming for new or moderate players because of his ability to attack from anywhere. One-Tailed Naruto isn't really "broken", but... he is pretty strong and deals alot of damage while easily breaking through guards.

I actually find teleporting characters to be more difficult to fight though. I still have to get my sidestep timing down right.

Anyway, alot of people will complain about any character that seems to have anything out of the ordinary. Heck, I was reading about how some guys are going to ban Sakon/Ukon from their tournaments because he has "Armor" and can block specials, not to mention his Rashoumon special. He's not what I would consider broken, but he can be difficult with those on, not invincible though. The only character we really don't use is Akamaru. We don't use Karasu much either, but people are still free to use it. Akamaru on the other hand can be difficult to deal with... although he does seem to be easier to counter in this game.

SSJLance

11-27-2005, 12:10 AM

The whole "broken" thing I don't get, if people are saying Itachi is any less "broken" than he was in the last game then they are dumb, I mean he plays exactly the same as in the 3rd game, and while Tailed Naruto is pretty strong I don't think that he is over powerd, a skilled player could defeat him, i.e. you have to beat him with CS2 Sasuke to obtain him so, he isn't that bad.

11-27-2005, 05:45 PM

After playing these few days(100 missions and plenty of versus action)...

Wow, the action is so much more intense than before... the "little" gameplay tweaks really change the gameplay a lot... which leads me to believe 8ing spent their time refining the gameplay, because you just cant add features and expect it to play any good.

Sidestepping in particular, normal and running, have much greater impact; as example, Itachi is not the "noobie abusable" character he used to be in A.

All long range fighters got weaker cuz if this... and close range sidestep(3 bodies apart) is way to unpredictable this time around, which is GREAT... in GNT3, "ok, ill wait till you sidestep and then ill punish you" was everyday's lunch... not anymore.

the only horrible thing in the game is... the character select screen(which seem cant handle loading 37*6 times models), there's no random select, the game models are shown instead of art from the series. The characters select screen fails because there are so many characters and you dont have quick access. just horrible.

and I lied, the 2 most horrible thing(2nd because you can ignore it) is that damn awakened Hinata... wow she's as horrible a concept I imagined her to be.

Running with this foul concept... GNT5 will surely have:

-Awakened Rock Lee, with Sasuke's moves and Sharingan to boot.
-Awakened Naruto, with Hokage outfit and 9 tails of power, no drawbacks.
-Awakened Mizuki, with.. NO, not a different model NEVER, just Mizuki 's face pasted on Oro's body with different color.

As you can see, its easy to create these kind of characters, just pathetic...Narutards can get their dose of fanboyism on the NH series, I hope they leave GNT series out of these crazy antics...

Kashama

11-27-2005, 05:50 PM

Oh my God, thanks to the person who said do Sasuke's Forward and A fireball move.

Still on the same settings (One round, Level 2 enemies), and I have 126701 points already, and I'm only on round 5.

I have a feeling I'll get at least three times the target points by the time I get to CS2 Sasuke.

No problem. Also, i knopw it's probably over but Forward b, a, b,b,a will do a bigger combo ending with fire, useless a it's late though :amuse

FFLN

Side-stepping seems to work better in this game. It was harder to do so in GNT3.

I also dislike the way they did the character select screen. It's a pain when loading up 4 models.:P

Awake Hinata is a pretty strong character, but they didn't put much effort into her, considering her rather lackluster outfit and few voice-overs. They most likely added her in to try and make their game more appealing to some players.

Narutards can get their dose of fanboyism on the NH series, I hope they leave GNT series out of these crazy antics... What crazy antics are in NH?

How many charachters are there?

Good old lazy 8ing.....

Chiru

11-27-2005, 11:43 PM

Am I the only one who feels 8ing ripped us off... The lack of supers from the latest arc... C'mon. That's really lazy...

Here are my predictions for GNT5:

Naruto
-Post-Timeskip Version, w/ the Pre-Timeskip Version as other costume.
-Rasengan as "X" super.
-Kyuubi Mode as "Back + X".
-Oodama Rasengan as "Down + X" super.
-Pretty much same in-game combos as in GNT4.

Sakura
-Post-Timeskip Version, w/ the Pre-Timeskip Version as other costume.
-Super Punch as "X" super.
-Ground Break (punches ground and it cracks all open) followed by Super Punch as "Down + X" super.
-Pretty much a mix fighting style between Sakura and Tsunade from GNT4.

Chiyo
-Costume would just be what she wears in manga, w/ alt having different colors.
-Would control Sasori's parents like Kankurou controls his puppet. She would be hard to use...
-Fatal Hug By Sasori's Parents as "X" super.
-Puppet Assault as "Down + X" super.
-Her "Back + A" would allow her to poof behind the opponent. She would automatically throw that sealing puppet, effectively taking away a bar of chakra from the opponent and keeping them stuck.

Deidara
-Same clothes as Itachi.
-Would fight similiar to CS2 Sasuke, but rather than gliding, his bird would pop under him and he would fly across the screen (see Temari w/fan gliding).
-His "Charged A" would be big explosive birds, while his "A" would be smaller explosive birds.
-"Down and A" could possibly release exploding spiders. They would move like Shino's bugs.
-For his "X" super he would jump up and throw a giant bomb.
-For his "Down + X" super he would make an exploding clone. Itachi style.

Sasori
-Final form w/ Robe, and final form w/o robe.
-Will not use a puppet in game, but only in supers.
-Puppet attack as "X" super.
-Massive Puppet attack as "Down + X" super.
-Would have a "Forward + A" that shoots his rope out and pulls the enemies towards him. Will also be able to catch people in air.
-Might be kept in Haruka form. Hopefully not...

Gaara
-New Post-Timeskip Costume, w/ Pre-Timeskip as alternate.
-His "X" super will remain the same.
-His current "Down + X" would not suit him post-timeskip so it would be replaced with that attack he used on Deidara.
-Similiar fighting to GNT4. Possibly flying sand as a chakra wasting technique (like Naruto's Kage Bunshin helper in GNT4).

Yondaime Kazekage
-Will replace Kurasu.
-Will have his Iron Sand World Order as "X" super. In game.
-Will have some other iron sand attack as "Down + X" super.
-Will actually be fun and not a waste of space.

Giant Akamaru
-Will replace little stupid Akamaru.
-Will be bad@$$.
-Yeah...
-He'll be awesome to be.
-Might have Kiba riding him like Kurasu had Kankurou controling him (even when alone).

Others...
The others will probably have the technqiues they should have had in this one. They will also have their new costumes. We might see people from the newest manga arc, but I'm doubtful the anime will get that far... Post-timeskip Konohamaru might be in it.

FFLN

11-27-2005, 11:52 PM

*sigh* For some reason, I'm not really looking forward to GNT5.

If Naruto and Sakura only get costume changes and a couple of new specials... that would majorly suck. I would prefer it if they changed their fighting style somewhat to fit them better. I would prefer Sasori to actually have his puppets appear like Tayuya's summons, but it does seem more likely that he'll fight like what you suggested.

Oh, and it's Sandaime Kazekage, not Yondaime Kazekage.;) I would like it if the Yondaime Hokage is in the next game though. Since there are already so many teleporting characters, it would be no problem to implement his teleports using kunai and the like.

Still, I think alot of people may not have such high expectations of 8ing now for the next GNT game.

I would be surprised if it came out on the Revolution. If it does come out on that instead of the GC, it'll most likely just be a port though instead of being made specifically for the Revolution. Sort of how Animal Crossing was adapted from originally being an N64 game into a GC game. I don't know if their control system would be good for the Rev though. Most likely, they'll just depend upon attaching the GC controllers to it or a GC controller shell or something.

Ugh. Maybe I've just played too much of it though, so I'm probably just a bit burned out on it.:darn

haha, funny story, I had it delivered to a friend in the area who was gonna visit me for thanksgiving. The shipping was local, and it was delivered in a few days. I still had to wait for it though:P

If you are in the US and ordered thru free shipping, I heard it was up to 2 weeks delivery or something like that.

I did get the pakkun controller holder, it's kinda funny.

I just printed out all the guides and crap, and binded them! I'll be needing those to unlock everything

hehe, yeah it was included, but I'm sure it was pre-order gift, you should ask if it's still available if u will order.

Since Bleach is new you shouldn't get burned out on it too fast. NGT 4 is alot like 3 even though there was lots of changes too. Also I never played a game with sword fighting, so I have no idea how the game play will work.

Thank you for the info, however I've heard that the PAL and USA versions of GameCubes have entirely different compatibility issues all together. I'm still looking for anyone who has experienced any problems with a US GameCube and the FreeLoader. I'm sure the problem is only that they need to release an updated version of the FreeLoader (1.06B being the most recent if I'm not mistaken), but if that's the case, I hope the update doesn't take too long.

*sigh* It's going to take a while to unlock everything in the game.:sad It's no fun playing against a level 3 computer, so there's still level 4 to be unlocked.

I'm not really burned out on the game itself, but just playing them.:xp I felt like I was overloaded on it, but now that I haven't really been playing it... my head's feeling better.:amuse That's why I'll take it easy on the Bleach game. I should probably try to keep it to an hour of play or so and take breaks... like Nintendo suggests in their game manuals.:amuse

There should still be Pakkun controller cases, depending upon how much they have in stock. The sooner you order, the likelier it'll be that you'll get one.

No Drunk Lee, but he does a cool combo special with Gaara that... sort of looks like his Drunken Fist style. Oh yeah, and Gaara also does Suna Shigure in that combo special too.

i keep getting missions popping up and stuff...how do i know when i passed a mission, my first was C-get 90000 with hinata?

anyway, it's gonna be harder to translate all the text in this game , it just pops up anytime. Any of those story mode dialogue translations? I only saw fight translations

FFLN

11-29-2005, 12:56 AM

I don't think there are translations for the story mode yet.

When the missions pop up, you can just decline them and get another one to pop up by going back to the start screen and then entering the menu screen again. Just repeat and you'll get the missions alot faster this way. You know that you've passed a mission when they say, "Ninmu Seikou" or something like that. Also Sakura will say something like, "Obeteto" after you complete a mission.

11-29-2005, 01:17 AM

I finally unlocked cs2 and 1T kyuubi today... and I still feel the need to finish the rest... to get all the unockables (no I dont expect more characters).

But yea, its kinda sad to unlock teh last secret character.. but I know the real challenge begins... dont you have friends to play conpetitive fights? with all the characters available, the challenge is greaters...

at least 7 friends give me a good run for my money, and the gameplay tweaks are great improvements... GNT3 sounds dull now compared to what GNT 4 offers.

As for the Bleach game, dont talk like its going to give you the same experience, I heard the other Bleach fighters as average only, and even if the GC one is developed by Sega, its the 1st of the series... so dont expect the gameplay to be as polished as the 4th sequel of a franchise (GNT).

narutosimpson

11-29-2005, 02:18 AM

11-30-2005, 01:26 AM

I find it kinda funny a few people are sayin they feel sad when they unlock all the characters in NGNT4. The whole point about a great fighter game such as this one is to unlock all the characters then beat the crap out of all ur friends.

Im gonna be the happiest man in the world when i finally get all the characters, not friggin sad.

Anywayz thats my 2 cents.

narutosimpson

11-30-2005, 02:12 AM

i feel like this game is the limits of the GC for naruto, which is to say, I wouldn't want to get NGT 5 if it was for GC. The upgrade in game play makes for a better game, but the analog stick , I find it difficult to dash with that. The sidestep is sweet though.

FFLN

11-30-2005, 05:25 AM

Yeah, it is difficult to dash using it, but you get used to it. I've only used the analog stick with the GNT games, so I can't really compare it to the D-pad. It's just that sometimes the command doesn't go through as well.

I don't think anyone's sad, but people are still somewhat disappointed.

hakke

11-30-2005, 09:20 AM

I never used the D-pad in GNt3... but Im thinking more and more that they didnt take out the Dpad on purpose... more like they disabled it to do some testing and at the last minute rush, they forget to enable it again... maybe they will realize that and release the 2nd shipment fixed.

I think the camera moves around during supers now. If you ever did "watch" mode (not timer) you can watch PC play itself, and set the camera angle to various angles or to swing around the fight. It's cool.

So after I do some C missions, should I do the 5 KO B missions?

Syrah

11-30-2005, 07:27 PM

no, you'd rather unlock the "10 win survival" missions, 'cause they're really easy and fast to complete... Just beat ten characters (1 round each), and exit at the 11th one... Good way to unlock everyone...
after that, go for the combos missions if you haven't done them yet, and then on time and score attacks (good character for score attacks : Sandaime, good chara for time attacks : kiba, lee or naruto, since they can be the fastest characters if well used:amuse )

hakke

11-30-2005, 07:30 PM

I followed the gamefaqs guide to unlock...

after you unlock as many missions as possible...

Do the easy combos ones.. the ones that have numbers 3 to 10 in the description.
Then the 5 KO... beat 5 opponents using special move, you can quit when the 6th fight starts, it still counts
then do the kill 10 guys missions, nothing fancy and quick

after you unlock a character... these missions for that characters shouldd be revealed... again, if you already unlocked all the missions available, after you unlock a character... at least 4 missions should appear, keep pressing start then B until sakura gives you no more missions.

It was a mistake, but I think they know about it, and if not, they don't care that much..... Again its no an option that wound change gameplay in any way, and there's no logical reason to disable the option... AND the game was obviously rushed... good thing the gameplay tweaks weren't, I just LOVE the changes.

Ive gotta say the graphics hav been upped for the better, Narutos face looks 100% better.

Also i like Narutos new back-A bushin move, makes it feel more Naruto, although I miss the sexy-no jutsu

FFLN

12-01-2005, 04:51 AM

Sexy no jutsu sort of sucked.=\ It was very slow to form and no one is going to just attack you if you're holding it. They'll just let you drain your own chakra while either waiting for you to dispel it or they'll come and try to throw you. Kage Bunshin was definitely a move for the better.

The graphics on the older characters were definitely upped. Naruto looks ALOT better and more... cute... I guess.:huh Oh, and the Sharingan looks alot more detailed in this game than in the previous ones. I could actually see the tomoe this time... unless I'm thinking of something else involving the Sharingan.

I got mine today! Yay!

I was really excited at first and I immediately tried out the new sound guys. But once I got to the actual missions ... soooo booooring!

The game is a drag really, it's playing the same old routine over and over with the same old characters from GNT3 (apart from those tiny tweaks, "hoorah!") ... I honestly don't know what to do to make those missions exciting. Then I looked at the unlock list and my motivation didn't exactly go up ... All those boring missions just to get Karasu and Akamaru ... finish this in 15 minutes, get a score of 100000 here, ... And there's like 360 or so of 'm!

No, the game is a dissapointment so far. At least they could 've add some new moves or specials to the old characters to make those missions worth playing.

Splyte

12-01-2005, 04:48 PM

i agree the missions do get boring, but i recommend for now you do the survival ones because they are only 10 fights and super fast and then later on when you unlock shadow mode and the shadow mode missions(kill 20 guys) it will go really fast.

emm... what are you talking about? im not talking about if she's good or not...its a hack because its one character with another one's moves and combos, from a programing POV, one just has to make a model move and hit with the set moves of another character.

Never played GNT2... but you didnt play GNT3... 4 will blow you away. all of us complaining are those that played GNT3 to death.

score... hmm tuff.

gameplay: 9, all the enhancements really make you not look back to GNT3 ever.
graphics: 8, bland compared to that the CG can do, but its true to the series and the graphics were retouched from last year.

For those that played GNT3, GNT4 gameplay shines over it, worth the price alone.

For those that only played GNT2 (it had 22 characters... with clones and all!!! GNT4 has 35+ characters not including karasu akamaru), GNT4 is a must play.

I'd give it a 5.5 I'd play it but only if it came out and smacked me in the face.......
Just play GTN3 and if you have a PS2 .....NH3.........

wha? Now I know you haven't played played GNT4... which is GNT3 but with everything improved, yet you're telling him to play a lesser game.

because obvious eyecandy is missing and we as fanboys surely dont react the right way...

It's not the eyecandy itself, it's logic and potential that were left out completely.

For those that never had a GNT before, great game. But unfortunately, it's the same price for everyone. And I feel a bit robbed at the moment. 60 euros for an add-on is just too much. I don't want to start up another discussion again but that's just how I feel.

Well you'll have to get trough a bizillion routine missions first if you wanna play 'm ... so the wait goes on even if your copy arrives.

Damnit, I'm now trying to win those 1 vs 3 S-rank missions. They could as well put a slot-machine in there and let us just win 'm by chance. It requires just THAT amount of luck. I mean, there I am with Naruto vs combolicious Kimimaro, rehealing Kabuto and kunai-whoring Orochimaru ... I don't even like playing with Naruto.

EDIT: just made it, now off to the third vs the 3 sannin ... chances don't look too good either.

I haven't tried it yet, but if you have Tailed Naruto, his down+X special does a fair amount of damage, especially when comboed.

Haven't unlocked him yet, bet he's the man for this kind of missions.

Eventually after 3 complaints from my dad and one broken bottle I was able to control my rage and use it in a good way ... I pulled it off with Gaara in 5 minutes 54 seconds.
To have a fair shot at Sasuke you need to beat the 9 opponents before him in 5 minutes, so that's like 15 seconds per round, or 30 seconds per char ... which ain't much I can tell you that.

I swear, if my memory card just dares to brake down now ...

Lol, first I thought you meant throwing the bottle ... might happen if another frustrating S-rank comes up.
I tried throwing Sasuke though, but at a certain level CPU's tend to break off every grab you do (or I just do it on the wrong moments, who knows), I only use it on human players.

And yeah, it was non alcoholic, drunken monkey is just not my style of fighting.

xD

You need to complete the missions. Most of the characters with the exception of kisame, Kabuto and Kyuubi naruto can be unlocked by playing a certain # of missions (Rank: C, B, A, or S). The other three characters are pretty easy to obtain, although I had to play the Tsunade and CS2 Sasuke strongest rival missions 2 times in order to unlock Kabuto and Kyuubi naruto XD

Fact is, it took me about 2 days to unlock everyone, so you'll probably have a easy time unlocking them as well. Good luck :thumbs

FYI: online gameguides really helped...^_^

Strongest Rival-missions are pretty easy, it's the 1 vs 3 S-ranks that are pretty darn challenging.

hakke

12-05-2005, 12:51 AM

the Strongest Rival missions can really make an impact if youre not ready for them.... Kisame took 2 tries to beat it... but KAbuto, daang, almost like 8... the worse part is I consider Tsunade-sama one of my strong characters (she got toned down in GNT4 btw) :(

Naruto Versus Oro team... that was awesome, such s thrill, Gai vs Nei/Tenten/Lee is also tuff... its the perfect team, Neji takes your chakra or kaitens you,Lee overpowers... and tenten stay in the back throwing kunais!!! good stuff.

squanman

12-05-2005, 01:02 AM

Well I noticed that the shields break way faster in GNT4 then in it's predecessors so I took a pretty offensive play-method when I did strongest rival. And it worked too.

It's just constant B-bashing until the shield breaks and then super their asses as they get back up. Or if they manage to get to you just kawarimi cause in most cases you have enough chakra due to the B-bashing.

It's just too difficult bring in tactics in most cases because surprising CPU-players at a decent level is pretty hard cause they're always on to your teleports and throws and stuff ... so brute force had to do the job.

FFLN

12-05-2005, 04:11 AM

For me... I beat Kisame the first time, lost the first round and won the second two, and I also beat Kabuto the first time, lost the first round and won the second two. I actually lost against regular Naruto when playing against him as the strongest rival.=\ I think I won the Super Kyuubi Naruto matches without losing any of them... or else it was 2 to 1 again.

The 1 on 3 matches are hard, but very fun.:amuse It was fun with Naruto. What sucked was whenever I was in the situation in which I take out 2 of the characters and the last one is left with only a bit of health, but then they freakin' beat me.:notrust It was frustrating then. The easiest one for me was probably using Naruto against Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Kimimaro. Well, at least it was the most fun and least frustrating.:P

Oh, and has anyone tried using the 'special' options for the matches yet? You know, using infinite chakra or 100% defense. That was pretty fun to use.:amuse Try Regeneration with Kabuto and you can get some pretty interesting matches going.;) I also found out that certain characters in this game have VERY difficult specials to dodge on wake-up... especially when they're using infinite chakra.XD

Yeah, they probably lowered the point in which shields break in order to further reduce the 'turtling' tactics that some people used. You're right that it does force people to be more aggressive with their attacks, otherwise they're going to be overwhelmed pretty quickly. This also makes characters with powerful blows or numerous strikes much more distinctive.

Oh, and Kakashi can break through Rashoumon with his fully charged Raikiri.=P He might be able to do it with an uncharged one, but I only tried it fully charged. It doesn't really break through, but he can get through it unharmed. It does slow him down though, so you may or may not hit your target. Of course, your opponent probably won't wait until you finish charging before they use Rashoumon.=P

hakke

12-05-2005, 04:58 AM

A kakashi freak friend of mine told me all piss how Kakashi was not the same... and sure I used him a lot on GNT3 and only 1 or 2 times in 4... so I took him for a test drive...

man he got raped! from GNT3 to 4... everyone of his combos, autoguards and super got seriously demoted, anyone noticed that? not to mention his Sharingan combos also miss a lot.

This is the biggest change of character compared to the other old ones, some play the same and just got faster(Zabuza), others have improved hit detection(Haku), others have a bit more lag in the chains(godaime), but Kakashi really does feel nothing like its GNT3 self. Bummer.. and his sharingan still drains.

I brought this Topic up on Gamefaqs and figured I should here as well. The Y cancels that every character has that they introduced into Naruto 4 I have found to be very nice when it comes to using combo's or comboing into specials in unique ways. Because of this I decided to make videos of characters using Y cancels for those that want it. So if there is any character you want to see just make a reply to this and tell me who eaither here or in PM and I'll post it in this thread. Just be sure to tell me if you want Y cancels into Specials, Normal combo's, or both. Or if you really want just a combo video in general.

narutosimpson

12-05-2005, 05:20 PM

i wanna see some combo cancels, everytime i try it, the character didn't hit enough, try's a throw (yeah, I mash Y a little) , or doesn't have cancels. So i wanna see...neji , cause his standard combo strings are long.

Is it too much to ask to make a mini-montage of combo cancels? :D reps to u then!

ShadelessNyght

12-05-2005, 05:31 PM

Well Zabuza was a cheap player in the first one. Kisame is a cheap player in narultimate 3 so I am guessing he will be a cheap player in this one also. Wait that title goes to Itachi... wtf an instant kill super....

I am interested on a few players actually: Kyuubi Naruto, Haku, Gaara and Kimimaro.
I want to see how DIM would affect Kimi and a serious battle between KN and Kimi also.

Alright, I'll record them all at once so this way I can have them all up tomorrow. Just need to get my JVC Video Camera fully up and working later tonight.

Edit: The Kimi vs. KN though if you want to wait I can do it with my friend when I am no longer sick. And about Zabuza and Kisame, neither of them are cheap =/ At least I don't think so.

I said they Kisame maybe cheap, I know Zabuza of NGT was cheap in sense that all you had to do in most cases is time your sword slashes to win.

From what I heard, Kisame in NU3 has a move that needs a 4 block counter, I never got hit with it though in NH2, so dunno if it was in NH2 also.

Thanks in advance for the video ^^. I will still probably beat him up with Naruto or Kyuubi Naruto unless he is really tough to beat (if that's the case it might take me 3 or 4 matches to get used to him).

BattousaiMS

"Combo cancels"? What are you talking about?
Could someone explain them firther to me, please? *puppy eyes*

Simple hun, NU2 (Narultimate 2) and NU3 works kinda like the latest MK/Tekken/KOF series(basically most fighting games nowdays), where you can break another character set of combos with a "combo breakers". In the case of NH sereis, you virtually needs those to get out of devastating combo follow ups. Kisame apparently has a combo or jutsu that you must break 4 times in a row to not end up with alot less life from the point he started it :laugh. Still not sure if it's true or not though, I usually own him down with ppl like Kyuubi Naruto or Haku or Kakashi and keep his ass at bay.

Basically, you can play this game a few differnt way:
- The classice special attacks and block: novice style which isn't really good any harder cpu levels, especially since you waste chakra when you do them and in most case it takes you full chakra bar.
- Counter attacker: You bascially try to counter what the other does and n the process hit some combos if you see any openings, aslo known as playing safe and not wasting chkara except for counters and combo breakers.
- Combo freaks: Here you basically say, screw chakra and specialtyies and simply rely on combos to take out your opponent. It's basically similar to counter attacker except on that one your always on defense here your always on offense.
- Mixte/All arounder(my style): This is for advance fighter players who juggle between combos and speacialties and suppers while at the same time able to counter and reserve counters.

For NGNT:You should atleast be a combo freak if you wish to suceed in harder levels of difficulties.

For NU: You should be a Counter attacker since specialties can take some time, supers can waste you precisous chakra you need later (it's a faster game pace) and the AI dishes alot more combos and that require breakers to break the chain or admit you defeat and let your self get killed.

FFLN

12-05-2005, 08:49 PM

Um, actually, that's not what they're talking about for "combo cancels".:huh

If someone uses the internet, they're bound to find out about it anyway, so I might as well give a bit of info about them.

In GNT4, all of the characters have cancel points, or points in their combo in which you can stop their combo by pressing Y. When you do a cancel, your character will go into their Back A stance and then you can instantly begin another combo or attack from that point. Each character has different points in which they can do this and the timing is also different for various characters. So if you have a favorite character, it would be a good place to start out looking for the Y cancel points. You probably don't want to spend too much time doing this with characters you don't know how to play or whom you don't use too much.

Thanks BattousaiMS, but FFLN got better the point of my question. ;)

P.S. I'm a "Counter attacker" type of player. Against cpu it doesn't work well on higther levels, but against human players... well, I win at least 1 battle on 3 when I play against my boyfriend (a real beat 'em up freak... he comes from the good old school of Street Fighter, and i still have to find someone who plays the NGNT series better than him. There are people who are specialized in a couple of characters and use them really well, but my boyfriend can use almost everyone! °__° ).
Anyway, my motto is: "study your enemy and then strike!". :P

:kukuku interesting... To explain to you, i don't actually have the game... A friend of mine does... But even though he may spend a week on it, i still can beat the crap outta him with any character (well, unless he uses "cheap" characters, such as Itachi in NGNT 3 or Kyubi Naruto is NGNT 4)...
I'm specialized in Gaara, Kiba, Naruto and Zabuza, but i still can kick major ass with anyone else....

he learned on Street Fighter you say ? I used to finish the hardest mode using Zangief... :P

... To descibe my gaming style, let's say i'm mostly using combos and specials... But when the fight is too difficult (even for me), i can adapt myself into a counter attacker....

God, when is there gonna be an international GNT championship ??? I may subscribe just to kick multiple asses :rofl

Can I assume that's a reply to my comment?

If it is... did you play VS battles? can you stand your ground with Kakashi at high level play?

Im not trying to insult or anything... but its pretty clear, if you played with Kakashi in gnt3 and then use him on 4... there's a big change. hit detection boxes were changed, his back B comes out faster (which is bad)... you just cant play him like one did in gnt3... unlike many of the old characters, which didnt change much but start up of special moves or properties of 1 or 2 moves.
-----------------

Guys, please dont give out info if you're not sure or havent test it yourself... im talking about the NH stuff... and the comparison with GNT gameplay. its really confusing.

I tend to just charge in and see how it goes. When I need distance, I'll jump away and throw kunai to keep them back. It's definitely needed against some of the guys like Chouji and Jiroubou, who seem to have unblockable grabs and air grabs. Jiroubou's grab is the most difficult to evade if you don't know how to. They can use it on wake up, when your character gets up, to instantly get you into another grab. If you jump up, you'll get caught, if you sidestep, you'll still get caught, if you back up... you'll still get caught since you won't really have the time to back up. You can attack, but he's immune to flinching while performing his grab, so that won't help much unless you blow him away with a quick attack... which I don't think there are too many characters who have that... if it at all. I did figure out how to get past it though, but it did take a while.:P

I can use pretty much all of the characters too since it's a simple system to get a particular combo out... but it takes more time and specialization to figure out the timing of use for each combo and the particular follow-up combos for each one.

I dunno what they say when they talk about the 4 contious combo break needed for Kisame. I never had problem facing him, I just bitchslap him with combo juggles and sudden special attacks.

Well yeah of course Kakashi is still good. I play with him too. But my favorite characters are Kyuubi Naruto, Haku, Gaara (not that much in terms of play just his moves are cool). I an expert at using Naruto, Haku, Jiraiya (yeah cuz he has Yomi Numa!!!) and Kyuubi Naruto. Kakashi i am advanced but not expert (meaning you won't see me pulling some freakout contious combo strings).

The rest I don't use them much. I might use Kimimaro though, I figure he will give me alot of trouble when it comes to comboing him.

The characters that i found sucked in the last ones were: Zabuza (because he didn't have man techs attached to him for his level), Ino (too easy to kill), Hinata (show off who can't hit me... and makes me wish this game had fatalities), Chouji (slow poke), Iruka (haha trying to throw big shurikens at me), Sakura (well she is good in this game due to her counters but she just doesn't have that many specialties to evade my sudden burst of combos).

The characters I had dificulties with: Kakashi (... stop trying to copy my supers!!!), Itachi (SOB stop cheating me with your sudden one hit kill move), Orochimaru (obvious reasons), Jiraiya (when he does yomi nuka how you wish you could fly).

The technique I hate most as a player Naruto's Orioke counter... god I hate it, it's specifically why i don't bother using it and go full out offense (to think they would have replaced with kawarimi or something by now as a counter).

Well Sarichan dunno about your bf, there hardly any friends who can win fighting games against me, if i played it for a few hours (to understand the playing style). I am the mixte type, I can combo (hard ones) then follow up with a special attack and combo, break combos and retaliate (basically I can break almost any combo's, unless it's a totally irrational pattern. That's what I get after learning how to play MK: DA/Deceptions and style switch + combo + counters, with Scorpion, Kung Lao, and Sub Zero (those style changes were a freaking pain to grasp) and being an avid fan of KOF with Iori, Kyo, Ryo and Mai.

I guess KN fits my style more since it's the closest to Iori.

This damn kisame, i've unlocked everybody BUT him. I've fought him 3 times. The first 2 he kicked my ass and the 3rd i almost had him and he just pull a serious comeback out of his ninja ass.
...
and then i turn around 5 mins later and get a perfect on him. As soon as the match start back+x to take off the weights(thats what me and my bros call it cuz of the way lee did in the anime).

Dunno who u used but I used Haku to take him out. Haku has the best counter move when it comes to someone like Kisame (for me atleast). I used it came on top and hammered his head in the ground then while he got up put some flying neels up in the air went for a combo, and just before starting the combo trew the needles then followed with two sets of combos and simply juggled that again till he died. In the second time though I repeated the same strategy but to ended hit him with DIM to finish him off.

Itachi was the bitch though suprising me with amaterasu out of the blue (freaken cheater).

Has anyone else noticed that when Sakon switches to Ukon he can block specials???

and also i finally unlocked shadow mode! It's quite easy, i found out from another forum. All you have to do is play survival mode 20 times. Not including missions ofcourse. Just use Tenten since she takes damage quicker (and we want this because the computer is so damn harmless on the first match). And once you die just repeat until a message pops up! and then you will be bombarded with missions!

Once you complete the S-Rank mission (beat 200 shadows with a character of your choice, i used Temari) it will unlocke the other 3 S-Rank missions. This is awesome coz finally i don't have any blank spots in my missions section. All my A rank's are complete, all me C Ranks are complete (except shadow missions), i just have 3 other S rank missions to go, and now I gotta be patient with those annoying B rank missions like "pass arcade mode without continuing, with him, and him, and him, and her, and him, and this guy and..." and then the same but in a time mode! Argh! I sure hope there is some reward at the end of it all!

EDIT: I'm actually kinda surprised at the fact that I unlocked Kisame, Kabuto and K2 Naruto in one go. There are many people having such hard times beating them. I don't know if changing the difficulty helps, but all I can say is was quite lucky despite the few times I was 1 chip damage away from dying! All you gotta do is:

Vs Kisame: Wait for the opening before he swings his sword
Vs Kabuto: If he attempts that down X, use back A, lay in the punches if you can because he regenerates
VS K2 Naruto: forwardBAA.. not sure about the rest, but if he blocks you won't be left open I don't think.
