Goodbye Naruto Storm Connections

[@andrehenderson7820]

I remember niggas was hyped for this game then sparking zero got announced and this game was dropped like woody for buzz 😭

[@quantxmm]

it didn’t get dropped cuz sparking zero got announced it got dropped because the game is pretty much storm 4 with changes and the pr wasn’t giving the media anything new

[@toastbud6870]

[@Manganization]

Characters? At this point I wished they reworked the game! There are a few released characters that felt like remixes of old characters and is not worth the price of DLC, namely Borushiki and Kawaki Otsutsuki. The game is mechanically barren, moreso than any other game of the series, which is a shame.

[@shakuryon]

Still blows my mind, how easy this game could've been good. Literally all they had to do was make Connections play like UNS4 with better netplay, with the new characters, and we would've all been good. Turning tilts into 2nd jutsus was so lazy, and made the game highly unbalanced and a chore to play.

[@cubearts1]

that is basically what connections is, connections online is vastly better than 4 in terms of its netcode, the issue with connections is the lack of content and the fact that no matter how good your netplay is, you need to actually have to have functional lobby system for it to work, which storm C didnt have, you couldnt even play with your friends.

[@hotfunyunsop6196]

​@@cubearts1LMAO!!! I was about the same thing. Like dude he literally described connections. It's just 4 with a few news chars and better net play.

[@DeBolttheBear]

@@hotfunyunsop6196 And a worse Story Mode. It's wild how they marketed it as a package of all 4 games and gut the story to slide shows and even taking out some of the fights.

[@Carlisle-mn3fv]

@@DeBolttheBearthey didn’t market it as a package tho, that’s what the legacy collection is for. This was marketed as a retelling of Naruto and Sasuke’s stories through the years

[@DeBolttheBear]

@@Carlisle-mn3fv No, it was absolutely marketed as a recut version of all 4 storm games. The initial trailer even says the story is a recut. Subbing out the cutscenes of the originals isn't a recut, it's gutting content to inject slideshow stills. It's lazy and they intentionally marketed it in a way that misled expectations. Why didn't they show ANY of the slide shows in the trailer? Because if they advertised it that way, it wouldn't appeal to anyone wanting the story.

Well, canonically hashirama was kinda slow he moved around using his woodstyle, and not to say he's turtle speed. He's still lightspeed, just one of the slowest lightspeed chatacters in Naruto. He's about Sakura speed. Without the assist of woodstyle, but the way he would use sage mode is by sitting on top of his woodstyle jutsus and moving around that way.

[@Vorcha94]

I used to like storm games but when 4 dropped I just stopped caring, we got more variants than actual characters. Like the have the models to add 7 swordsman, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Zetsu, Anko, hell even could've made some of the old supports into playable characters. But ofc Naruto, Saskue, Boruto, and reskins are more important. The adult versions could've easily been selectable outs. But thats just my opinion and only gripe

[@Not_obligated2care]

Who wants to “adapt” to playing against the same minato/temari/shikamaru spammers? The simple solution to that is just don’t play tbh 🤷🏽‍♂️. There’s spammers in almost every online fighting game but connections takes it to a whole other level to the point u don’t even feel like your playing to have fun anymore. Don’t even get me started on the fact that I can’t even win 1 single game without that person texting me talking sh*t. Like are all storm players really this childish/petty/ sore looser?
