[@thomas3574]

I think the biggest reason for storm 4's story mode to be so reliant on slide shows was the setting. Considering most events were either flashbacks or fights in the same battlefield, there wasn't a big purpose for you to explore the exact same place again and again. They still should've done better than slide shows, but alternatives are not as easy to integrate.

[@Sulphur_]

It was impossible to make the Storm 4 story have the same gameplay than Storm 3, but not having cutscenes in the early campaign was made because of the rushed development of the game.

If it's really going to be the long-term game, they need to support it beyond just DLC characters and bug fixes. I'd hope CC2 are prepared to update mechanics and build upon the experience as time goes on.

[@semicki135]

Yes that’s just as i thought. If you ask me i still play storm 4 even after 7 years but i don’t see it like a long term game. I have been throu with storm 4 1000 times but still i have to come back Sometimes and grind a bit. But now that storm connections is coming out i’m grinding storm 4 online asf to get as good as possible knowing connections is going to be ”harder” in a way of mechanics and such stuff. I hope cc2 does everything to make it long term since their old plan of just updating storm 4 wasn’t gonna work i hope this does. This game will give us a fresh start with some new characters and the only thing they need to do to make it long term in my opinion is that they add levels and characters from the show in the storyline. What i mean is like if the game stopped at the momoshiki arc and they begun for example the delta arc or whatever cc2 should immediately start working on it to add it to the game if it makes sense. To keep up the game with the series is what i mean ”sorry ahead for the bad explanations”😅

[@BlueEyedUchiha]

Jutsu clashes should Combe back, but they should change how they work. Instead of mashing, it would be a combination of buttons, think of it like pressing triangle square circle circle square triangle on PSN controls. Who ever presses the combo faster wins, and who ever makes a mistake first loses. It would be engaging and skill based. It’s also easy enough to understand. And to keep the flow of the game, it’s possible to attack your opponents after the justu clash.

[@stk_n_chill4965]

Like ultimate ninja 3

[@wizardlizard524]

I was literally about to comment this. It would be an easy way to keep clashes in the game and not break your controller. They should definitely do this for tenkaichi 4 too.

[@1dayago843]

I think the best rework for Substitutions is to make it like a Guilty Gear Burst, and it should reset everything to neutral instead of making the subber do a "nothing personal kid". Also the counter should be changed into a subsitution too when they get hit during the counter.

[@Peacefulskater]

I love this idea and i think having a limit to like 2 or 3 per round would make for a lot more intriguing gameplay. You would have to think a lot harder and In this case i think less is more

[@MirageUchiha]

I wrote this whole thing about jutsu clashes on Gamefaqs long ago. But here were my ideas. 1. Have the winner of the jutsu clash be the player who had more chakra at the time of the clash. 2. Do like Ultimate Ninja 4 (PS2), and when yall clash, play a good ol' game of "Quartz, Parchment, Shears" and whoever wins that, is the victor of the jutsu clash. 3. Jus bring back button combination strings. Or 4. Bring back button mashing. (Least likely & least favorable option.)

[@viennasavage9110]

Clashes should go to whoever spends the most chakara. So it would be like an investment. If you win the clash, your enemy is damaged but you used all your resource. Like gambling. It also adds an extra use to byakugan -- which caps people's chakara.

[@blindbananabandit2039]

Thank God we might not have assist types anymore. Fighting against a guard type assist is super annoying so I'm still really hopeful for this game. I put 3k+ matches into storm 3, that was my college. If I wasn't doing homework or in class, I was likely playing storm 3 online and I would love to see some good things and hype.

[@DragonSlayer79513]

Oh thank goodness it might make the game less difficult….what an L take JFC.

[@blindbananabandit2039]

@Narutofanatic11100 I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say with your comment (hopefully english is your second language cause if not oof 😅) If you're implying I want the game to be less difficult by taking away assist types I'd love to hear your explanation of that, because in my opinion it's no where near that simple. For a multiplayer game the difficultly comes from 2 things, game meta and personal skill. Unfortunately, in a game like Storm 4 it's incredibly easily to jump around, throw shuriken, and spam ninjutsu, and guard type assists really helped this annoying gameplay. That play style takes 0 thought and skill and yet it's 100% viable outside of competitive play because it works. In my opinion taking away the assist types should in theory make the fighting skill carry more weight in a match, but of course, if you have a different opinion from mine, maybe you can articulate it this time instead of a single nonsensical sentence 🤣

[@CadoxD]

Does anyone remember ultimate ninja 5 from PS2? I think they had a neat "clash" system on the ultimates (one where you actually can select various types of clashes from circling the joy stick to mashing a button) where you had to click buttons in a certain order and the one who did more won. That would be skillful (and not control breaking) another alternative (this one more for the dragon Ball game) would be time based trigger... It's art to explain but in dragon Ball legends there's a clash system where both players have to stop a bar at a specific moment and the one who did the most would win. If it was a tie the one who did it faster won. Simple. Just one click. Not complicated at all. This all just to comment that clashes are cool and can be possible to make in a skilful and fun way.

[@SilverShion]

I mean. I usually care a lot about balance and new mechanics on fighting games. But we're are talking about CC2. They won't add rollback to the online mode, so for me the selling point is the single player content.

[@laytex134]

No. Clashes are an actual important thing for both Naruto and Dragon Ball. I dont give a damn that people don't like mashing or spinning the control stick because without question it's one of my favorite mechanics because it adds to the tension of a close fight

I wouldn’t mind it if the mini game was closer to storm ones. Which is basically picking between the 4 face buttons as fast as possible instead of mashing. Also I always lose because I don’t wanna destroy my controller

[@shelbythomas1141]

To settle the question about beam/jutsu/techniques clashes in fighting games : YES IT SHOULD BE IN IT. But not with button mashing, there are plenty of other mini games to use like in DB legends (stop a bar at the best moment) or in the narultimate series when you used a ultimate attack (first one to finish a short combination of inputs). BRING IT BACK ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@EWOODJ]

No mini games using gameplay please.

[@nerds-nonsense]

We never understood the complaint about the substitutions, it's a core part of the show and the game; for people who don't like it Naruto probably just isn't for them. They need to bring clashes back too, it's definitely one of the most iconic parts of the show and having it included doesn't actually take away from the rest of the gameplay, also you should be able to turn it off. And the open world aspect needs a complete overhaul or to be abandoned altogether, they keep half-assing it and it ends up not being fun for players and a massive waste of money and development time for the studio, if they're going to do it they need to really do it and put as much time and thought into it as they do the story and versus modes. The open world should add replayability not just be bloatware after you've checked it out once.

I’m not sure why ppl had expectations for this game to be 5 when it isn’t 5 and they usually have a in between game

[@dellbrrokvince3700]

Adventure mode should be completely revamped, it's not an enjoyable mode to explore, many of the side tasks feel very tedious, most of the time characters aren't voiced and there's no enjoyable way to traverse through the village. Naruto storm 1 had a very neat way of helping you traverse, through the village, it doesn't need to be exact but i'd like to see some degree of that quality brought back in some shape or form so running around the hub world doesn't feel so boring. I also think that adventure mode should have it's own ORGINAL story. Naruto storm revolutions already slightly touched on this with Mecha Naruto and it was an enjoyable but an original story on a larger scale would be better in every capacity. Naruto has alot of potential to tell compelling original stories in it's own world, we've already seen it with movies and filler, there's no reason they can't do it with a game, especially now that the main cannon is finished If they want to keep the side tasks with character interactions in the game, they should at least be voiced and there should at least be a respectable award so it doesn't feel like we wasted our time. It seems like they put a decent amount of effort in adventure mode for players to explore but when it's this painfully tedious and there's no real incentive, there doesn't feel like a reason too.

[@xxwallzxx4509]

They should keep the tilt. Just keep ninjutsu triangle circle and the second is triangle circle circle. Edit: I actually thoroughly like this one. Obviously they can scrap this one. But this is actually smart and probably the more efficient way to do this tbh. It probably would fit in just fine and players can openly accept this one as it really is that good. Change second jutsu into triangle circle circle.

The problem is if you do that triangle circle would just immediately go into the Ninjutsu animation so it would hard to implement a different super when one is already active

[@BlazeQuadZ]

Jutsu clashes could easily come back, but I doubt they will. Just make them a optional in the versus settings and disable them on standard online matches. It shouldn't even be that much work, since most new jutsu wouldn't even be able to trigger the clash. Since even in storm 1 it was basically just Rasengan, Chidori and Taijutsu and most characters post Storm 2 use Ninjutsu. Storm is one of the few franchises that actively removes interesting dynamics with each subsequent release.

I'll say that, I'm MOSTLY excited. I played Storm 1 and 2 and didn't touch 3 or 4. So, I atleast can go into Connections having not experienced the last two games and many things will be new to me. The problem that I have is that, I am a casual player and I'd argue that while A LOT of people bought the storm games for the Competitive aspect; However, more often than not the Casual Player Base is what brings in the most revenue for a game and franchise. They usually make up a significantly higher portion of purchases when speaking about games that don't have Micro-Transactions and Pay To Win aspects at least(IE: Whales on mobile games.). Imo, Storms system mechanics and gameplay are pretty well perfected OVERALL. Yes there are small things here and there, new mechanics are always welcome and the Netcode needs to be better BUT. As a casual player, I will ONLY buy this game if it can give me an experience I won't get from reading the manga or watching the anime. I don't want to watch the story mode, I want to experience it, I want it to be Challenging, Fun and allow me to run around the Naruto World. I want lots of new character's and lots of Old Character's to be playable, because that's Fun and that's what I'm playing it for. If Storm Connections lacks this and doesn't improve the Story Mode and doesn't expand on Offline feature's, I don't really have a good reason to buy it. I'm a fighting game lover just like anyone else here but If I'm not going to get a different experience from this than other Storm Games or the source material, there's no reason to purchase it. I still remain optimistic because I love Boruto's Manga but, my expectations are pretty low.

[@onlywiigame.]

Nobody buys storms guys for the competitive aspect because there is none the game is not balanced at all

[@d3athcannonlv323]

I want to see them bring back using the sticks and the triggers to form jutsus

[@calixirj5256]

I hope that they make enough changes to warrant a full priced game. If it’s just a half step up from Storm 4 like you said, and they still decide to full price the game, I’m going to take a while to purchase it if it’s not worth the money anyways.

[@YasinFPSuzu]

They should add instant awakening and this game would be popular like storm 3 release days. More cancel oppurtinities with every character. IA is the reason storm3 will always be my favorite

[@tiago_stenico]

You're crazy, IA was broken as hell, Lee and Guy send regards, Mifune and Neji too. Stupid mashers

[@YasinFPSuzu]

@@tiago_stenico you clearly dont know who i am lmao it wasnt broken you just had no idea how to play against it. Look up some stylers or even my old videos. I never mashed i invented things, the combos you know in that game i teached them you because at that time the only succesfull combo videos were mine. The tilt chain you know from storm 3 ,i made it publicly known at that time, my video together with masato rebers (old buddy of mine) had most views. You probably cant even chain a single tilt with instant awake thats why u hate on it. I was considered one of best minatos in storm generations,3 and 4. just because neji or guys instant was op doesnt mean they were unkillable. Watch some of my most viewed videos how to beat some guy cheesers for example. You probably mained a character who had no instant awake thats why u hate on it lol. Flow with the system not against it. Storm 4 is a noob game , you talk about buttonsmashing when all people do in storm 4 is buttonsmash. You cant even do ninja move cancels anymore and you say storm 3 was worse. There are some hidden advanced tricks with the tag system but most people dont even care to learn them they rather just mash circle and tag when you sub and repeat mash: thats storm 4 for you. With friends its fun yeah but thats it. I dont hate on storm4 i played it for many hours, i had 80% wr ranked playing 1 support balanced in few thousand games. It was just boring. The new storm title will be refreshing atleast they are adding some new mechanics and nerfing the op counter. Instant awake made rounds way more intense and actionpacked the rounds only had 1 fight compared to first to 2 in storm 4 and still felt longer and better.

[@tiago_stenico]

@TeamPonyRS yes, i probably don't know how to play , especially because i won an amateur tournament full of mashers and i had to pick long range attackers like Kakuzu and broken supports like Tobi and Pain. But yeah you're the boss.

[@YasinFPSuzu]

@@tiago_stenico bro nobody cares about an local amateur tournament lmfao if you were informed about the storm scene you would know that the best players were always from europe and japan (france/germany). Nobody cares about your tryhard sweat 2 support matches we stylers play the game different in a honest 1 support matching and dont rely on 1 single infinite combo. I won some tournaments back then too i was in many storm youtubers videos included who even cares. Im just saying instant awake was a good addition and if you were active at watching youtube storm videos at s3 peak times you would know it. Watch shimi reber or masato reber videos and you know what i mean. I played against these people daily. Even in storm generations without instant awake the game was more fun then storm 4 because you could ninja move cancel anything there even tilt attacks. Now this guy says they removed tilt attacks which is honestly a step down who cares about having 2 jutsus thats just some silly fanservice thing for the mashers. If you couldnt handle instant awake you clearly didnt know how to play with it..

[@Sensei.Of.Kivotos]

I just want a playable Menma and other movie villains.

[@evanalmond1]

They need to update characters Justus like Tsunade god sake give her her 100 healings summon and a better ultimate jutsu. Also we need some background characters input in the game like Ibiki, Shizune, Kurenai, Anko, Kurotsuchi and Zetsu.

[@richardandrade8371]

maybe jutsu clashes could be implemented with some of the ps2 mechanics, instead of matching it would be who presses the sequence of imputs faster would win the clash, so there is still a element os skill implemented, i remeber you could completly evade ultimate attacks with this, and the ultimate would be plyed diferent

[@ismaeldah6512]

Implementing this in non ranked matches would be awesome. I really like the aspect of being able to evade UJs

[@animonarch3858]

You know young globku looked, well, young

[@kara2murat]

Oh thx Bro that me 1:47

[@sakusmith3255]

The charters in naruto have access to 100s of jutsu we should access to at least 3 at any given point … 2 jutsu and one tilt

[@Interiorcrocodilealigator10838]

2:44 clashing should just be a quick best of 3 to put in hard inputs. For either of Naruto or DB. The mashing now requires skill

[@dracoblizzard7944]

I feel like button combos are kind of an outdated mechanic, most people prefer them to be gone and as far as I've heard the only argument for them to stay is that it increases the risk management skill cap in the game because you need to decide if it's worth the chance you might mess up the input when you try and use a move. Adding a "button combo test" doesn't do that, it just adds a random thing that you have to be able to do to be good for no reason. No one wants to stop for an hour while playing practice matches to go grind out button mashing.

[@Interiorcrocodilealigator10838]

@@dracoblizzard7944 at least ur controller is more likely to stay intact. Unless it’s such a problem the controller getting tossed 💀

[@EWOODJ]

To hell with any mini game during gameplay altogether

[@12thcaptainzero1]

3 things are certain in life Death, Taxes and Globku bringing up the net-code lol

[@PhantomDogman]

Finally story about Borutos Dad? Ok that joke is overused.

[@Wavedashnoir]

This game is gunna blow any expectations of mine they won't be met

[@zekesalazar7643]

3:40 I want the storm 2 subs to be back. Before it was a meter and you had to time it right, it took more skill to evade attacks.

[@komlat253]

Those guys that make the anime fighting games just dont understand. We play fighting games for the mechanics. Its a fighting game. Deep fighting games mechanics is why people play them . Since storm is rather simple ,i only play through the story. I think the series isn't good enough to be competitive

[@OctoDADDY.]

its a arena fighter, go play a traditional 2d fighter if you want hyper competitive.

[@kelechiibe4709]

I hope the people who bought the legacy pack get connections for free or a least cheaper

[@byrontheusurper6505]

Wouldn't rollback suck for an arena fighter anyway tho?

[@RainSpitter]

A lot of people are talking about the game not having a new mechanic. Here’s the thing! That might actually be a good thing. Sometimes a new mechanic can break the balance of a game.

[@donofairjkinx553]

As the first comment, Im excited for the competitive scene. Even tho the online will be bandai

[@ssspunnk]

love watching your vids man. keep em up

[@rangertsune9234]

You mean checking out to see if they fixed the regular sharingan users the little Uchiha to see if they gave them their awakening abilities back because they nerfed them and took away the ability of their awakening which is the regular sharingan 2 or 3tomoe

[@ChrisPolyc-sh7bj]

I just realize, in storm 4 why there's no separate secret technique Indra's Arrow or Awakening Indra's Susanoo for Sasuke and there's only one Team Secret Technique with Naruto and Sasuke where we see Indra's Arrow?

[@nitothefirst7874]

So... You're saying that the game it's going to pretty much suck at lunch and that there's nothing "big" being introduced to it as far as we know, but that we should be excited nevertheless because the developers might make the game better over time with patches and dlc's? Idk about that chief...

[@EWOODJ]

Absolutely not!!! Keep story mode and free roam separate. The story should get straight to the point. Cutscenes and fights are all it need. Keep the free roam to an exclusive mode. Something both Ultimate Ninja 3 and Storm 4 did right.

[@Toxinrk37]

Big thing for me and I could be wrong but I feel like there is potential also alot of hidden gems for Naruto fans in general and not just storm fans im not going to 100% but it's the small things that make it big

[@potato_duud6166]

i think bandai has made connections just so they can see if the storm games still have hype i think they are going to make a storm 5 separately with a boruto story mode in a couple of years

[@bomberman9296]

2:46 Globku you might want to run from the bt fans in 5 sec

[@narutonumberone1]

They should use the directional pad to cycle through jutsus and more eg up on dpad cycles through all characters ultimates then have down on the pad cycle through all jutsus then have right on the pad cycle between all throwable tools the chosen character has and left on the dpad cycles through all physical upgradable tools like tools that give speed strength or health buff effects

[@SammyLaffy]

They better give momoshiki the anime look, tsunade better be able to do her thousand healing justu, and pleaseeee add toneri

[@trapshadowltf]

I feel like the story will be all fights and cutscenes no exploration starting from storm 1 to 4 with boruto and the new story also they need to bring back being able to play awakened characters from storm 1

[@ght405]

I just wanna see 60fps multiplayer and better net code and a bigger roster and I'm happy

[@cubethepixel3025]

lowkey hoping for Deepa to be a playable character (all of Kara tbh)

[@Potata_Potato]

Globku reacting to Globku.. classic

[@DanzoLovesEyes]

I just want a Danzo and Hiruzen Team ultimate.

[@ceoChief09]

Hebi/Taka deserves a team ult aswell

[@mistermontussac4920]

I stoped playing at storm games when I understood that it will never give us a 2v2 fight mode…

[@byrontheusurper6505]

Fuck yeah give us storm 1 adventure mode again!

[@OmegaChase1002]

If there's no Land of Waves arc, then I'm not buying it.

[@Amsel_616]

Grab this little thing from the Ultimate Ninja games where characters had like 20 Ultimate Jutsus and Normal Jutsus, i disliked a lot that only Naruto and a few others have like 2 jutsus in the Storm games.
