What further buffs and nerfs do you want for characters and why? I personally feel the nerfs to Kiba was too harsh & Ino could have longer poison damage on her jutsu. I'm sad that PTS Shino got nerfed that way too but I'll get over it Full patch notes here: en.bandainamcoent.eu/naruto/news/naruto-x-boruto-ultimate-ninja-storm-connections-patch-140-notes?SM_Official&NSC-Patch-140

[@BMG_27]

Love your vids man

[@angeljulioogandomejia1035]

Time Skip Neji's down combo (only in 60 FPS) can be blocked by the CPU or Human Player sometimes yes sometimes not when neji launchs the first air palm, making his down combo almost useless (he practically has 3 combos instead of 4 because of this issue in 60 FPS).

[@PoisonedOkami]

@@BMG_27 Appreciate it!

[@SexyLegs9773]

The nerfs to kiba and pts shino are unnecessary imo. Shino was fine after the first patch and kiba is almost unplayable now. Having the weakest defense and now weakest attack in the game and his jutsu cost the most chakra.

[@otakuloveanime6884]

Momo should be able to continue after his air combo

[@Darisuke]

Surprised there was no mention of Kakashi (Double Sharigan) getting his Kamui support regeneration nerfed.

[@rage_katana926]

To me I think the game feels very slow now, most of the cooldowns being longer, having to catch people with broken counters still, people can just lay on the floor now and they get to wait for there subs pretty quicky since its 10 second timer since no kunai restand, which also makes the combos look more generic imo, damage being lower in general from not being able to combo people as often, they didnt buff as much as I would have liked for how much they nerfed. If they were going to slow everything down I think they needed to make the sub timer longer to counteract that. They made it shorter because of how fast things were with restands and supports but there isnt a reason to keep it as the shortest sub timer in the franchise with the changes and also while still having scaling too. I would much prefer more characters to be more viable then less. I would rather have more characters that are really good then less that are all just kind of average now because of nerfs or indirect changes. What makes storm fun to me is having options but being forced to play a certain style and having way less characters to choose from at the highest level I really dont like.

[@D-Havoc]

You already have ninjutsu that can hit grouned opponents. If you think the removal of forcing opponents to stand up with shuriken now makes the fight slower, just double down on the ninjutsus that can hit grounded enemies.

[@moneyxbags123]

@@D-Havocbut now you have to waste chakra and put yourself at a disadvantage and also what if opp is out of range of the jutsu? I used to do a restand and grab tele with 2nd hokage but now im fuckedddd

[@zackwyatt169]

back out option and counter cool down that's all i ask for now

[@That_Ootooku]

Oml me as the only jugo player and main finally got my character buffed but the defense debuff was unnecessary considering he’s supposed to be tanky

[@D-Havoc]

Kiba at the start of the game was oppressive, but his damage nerf on ground combos are overkill. If they were going to lower the damage, then at least increase the speed of the hits or allow Kiba to still perform certain attacks while Akamaru is still in recovery or let certain attacks recover Akamaru faster.

[@baileyna5279]

We need the seven ninja swordsmen! Why isn’t this a thing already.

[@alitubealt6185]

This

[@xibladekidd]

they need to bring back the option of choosing jutsu when picking the characters and the jutsus and tilts that were taken can return that way giving characters a bunch of options

[@DTK_Symmetry]

Kiba and pts Kiba even still suffer from the dog knock down and can’t attack nerf 😭 at least revert that

[@geers1518]

Eating immaculate like. 2nd Mizu, Zabuza and Haku getting buffed, Ino getting her poison back, AND Jugo on block buff? 🎉❤😂😮😅

[@PoisonedOkami]

What a time to be playing Connections!

[@SexyLegs9773]

Was so happy that the 2nd mizu got buffed. He needed it

[@geers1518]

@@SexyLegs9773 been saying this.

[@KurohaSaenoki]

Would be nice if PTS Sakura would have a bounce on air combo, and PTS Hinata should have atleast one extended stun/crumble in her combo strings.

[@PoisonedOkami]

Oh my god we forgot about PTS Sakura! I'm pretty sure if CC2 are made aware of it, they'll give her a bounce too. Wouldn't make sense to give it to Hashi, Shisui, Kisame & Delta but not her. Also, Raikage Ay needs a proper infinite stun too, he doesn't have any at all

[@kushinasonlypans]

@@PoisonedOkami this is a bit nitpicky, but "Raikage Ay" doesnt make it really clear who you mean, since every single Raikage is called Ay

[@Mikrowelliger]

Jugos defense being reduced was actually wrong in the patchnotes. His defense modifier got buffed to be on the a "normal" level (i.e. he now takes the regular 30% from UJs instead of 31ish%) Also one thing you didn't mention at all was that PTS Gaara got kneepcapped even worse than Kiba in terms of combo damage. PTS Gaara now only does 4.5% on his air combo.

[@PoisonedOkami]

It seems they've made some errors when writing out the patch notes like they did with PTS Sasuke. I didn't check Gaara's air combo lol but that's so weird that they'd nerf the damage like that :/

[@Mikrowelliger]

@@PoisonedOkami I sent you the table with all the damage values on discord a while ago. I have it updated to 1.4 (including kawashiki) if you want to have a look at all the damage values.

[@Bayleth]

I wish pts ino would also get poison back, as that has always been her mark in games

[@alicedescartes]

Haku buffs?! Let's go!

I think Ninjutsu Block means canceling the Jutsu can be canceled possibly.

[@DKMinii]

CC2 if you’re still listening PLEASEEEE add adult hanabi as dlc😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@zetsumaro2003]

this is very good patch . But there are still some problems. ❗Shippuden Temari as a support is pretty strong.Her second jutsu is a problem (auto tracking) .❗ Then the third raikage 360° damage on every jutsu . ❗Naruto in Baryon mode (his air combo animations sometimes make him invulnerable to air attacks from supports) ❗Tayuya and her dolls, which cannot be damaged or knocked down.❗ Minato's ninja movement and dash speed is still too fast, it allows him to easily dodge dashes and jutsu. Also, Minato's grab range still seems too long, even though they reduced the damage on him, but it still doesn't stop the grapple spam. ❗ I would be glad to see a longer startup at the first Delta's jutsu ❗Need to nerf Kaguya's damage in winter's realm ❗I'm really looking forward to Naruto's buffs (toad sage mode). I loved him in storm 3, but now he's absolutely useless. Terrible second jutsu, very slow hit animation and low damage. There are very few options to extend his combo and also a very slow grab animation.

[@pokefan3485]

How do you do it if I may ask?

@@PoisonedOkami correct my friend

[@TotskuyaKurogane]

@@pokefan3485 before the recent patch, all you had to do was grab, move up, grab again. Now they increased the distance. You can still chain it without the speed pill, but now it's a one in a thousand.

why developers only nerf and buff characters sometimes at random when al we need is a very very low supports priority? seems like i fought against my oppo supports not him since day one

Whats wrong with Karin? Her spray got no range and can be easily canceled.

Do you consider Kawashiki better than Isshiki or Jigen i liked to know

[@PoisonedOkami]

It's too early to tell at the moment but during mid to close combat situations, I've experienced that his grab can be OP a little. So there's potential for him to be as good as them, maybe even better 🤔we'll see

@@PoisonedOkami from what I've seen up to this point, he's definitely gonna be at least in the conversation of Tops

[@wendellaguiar_]

They nerfed Ino's ninjutsu damage and added poison, so no, it literally didn't make any difference. ☠️

[@abdullaherol6836]

hey, what does defense reduced mean? does it actually mean they have lower total Hp then other chars? since when is this a thing, i cant remember older storm games having different health values for chars

[@Just1Dev]

Yea look up storm connections defence tier list on youtube

[@PoisonedOkami]

Yeah so every character has defense values. Meaning some characters can take more damage than others

[@angeljulioogandomejia1035]

It does not mean that a character has lower health than the others, it means that a character takes more damage than the others, for example: First of all, all chatacters have 100 health points. And let's say that pts naruto have 50 points of defense and pts sasuke have 70 points of defense, in a combat pts naruto will take more damage than pts sasuke even if both characters have 100 health points.

[@luisnogueirapt5295]

The com in very hard still play child

[@Touchmonney]

Rage quitting was good patch, but now u gotta worry bout these dudes running the clock out, witch kills the momentum of the game

[@voyeurtube7008]

I don't even think that's possible. Forward dash is faster than back dash, you have support, long range jutsu, etc. They really can't run away long enough to avoid everything

[@KingMars47]

Did they really have to nerf Kiba that hard? He was one of the most fun characters in the game 😭😭

[@PoisonedOkami]

Right?!

Was Kiba and Gaaara that bad?

[@revalier3670]

So CC2 will listen for these buff and nerfs to not important characters but won't listen to the fans when we ask for new awakenings for certain characters like CM2 Jugo, Indra Arrow's Awakening AND Ulti for Rinnegan Sasuke, Admantine Chain Ulti for Kushina AND Karin, 100 healing seal awakening for Tsunade you know the one who made the fucking jutsu??? And so much more but no a flismy update where they update nerfs and buffs are way more important it seems. Fuck this game and fuck CC2

They should nerf shurikens in general, and make them limited, like 20 shuriken per round or 10, to prevent spamming, ie TAYUYA, Exceptions ranged characters, they should also make a little gauge x10….x9…x4…0 Out X none left, it would be more realistic to the anime and manga, no one has unlimited shuriken.
