From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 is the fourth installment of the Gekitou Ninja Taisen (Clash of Ninja) series, which is based on the popular manga and anime series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto.
[edit] New features
- A full-blown tag team mode (called 3-Man Cell), similar to that in Tekken Tag Tournament.
- Unique team supers for pre-assigned teams in tag team mode (eg: Sharingan Team, consisting of Kakashi, Sasuke, and Itachi, has Sasuke using Chidori, and Kakashi using Raikiri after Itachi uses Amaterasu - a jutsu he cannot use anywhere else in the game).
- All characters can now sidestep while running.
- The Y-cancel. During certain points in a combo (or after any move as long as the opponent is airbone when struck), you can cancel the lag of a move (but only after and if it hits) by hitting Y. This can be used to prolong combos to create new and devastating combos.
- All requirements are gone. Certain X- and down X-supers used to require the user to have a low (red) life bar. Now, all you need is enough chakra to perform the move, though all of the down X-moves which are basically just a stronger special than their X counterparts (some of them entirely new, like Naruto's Rasengan, some variations of the X, like Ino's Shintenshin no Jutsu) come out slower and thus cannot be used in comboes the same way as their X counterparts.
- Certain X's and down X's have been tweaked to give out more or less damage. An interesting thing is that Hinata's X deals out 3 less hits than in GNT3, but it deals out more damage.
- Choji's chip-eating move now also increases his damage output.
- The hitboxes of Itachi's clones have been reduced.
- All characters can now choose between two kinds of Kawarimi no Jutsus, L and R. Using R will make you teleport behind your opponent and strike them. Using L will simply make you teleport behind them.
- After activating his Sharingan with back X, Kakashi can reverse a handful of character X attacks back on them using his back A. The X must not be in real-time, it must happen in a cut scene.
