Clash of Ninja (GCN) VS Ultimate Ninja (PS2): Which Series is BETTER?

[@DrJojoGaming]

If you enjoy this video SUBSCRIBE and let me know what other series\games I should look into on the Gamecube or PS2.

[@Reossj]

I forgot clash of ninja 4. Is balance game also Naruto one tail cloak is banned on tournaments also they still doing tournaments they made communtiy verison they mod the game translate to English u should join community also they don’t pvp match online also balance Naruto one tail cloak 4 is super better

[@Essu_]

Ultimate Ninja actually varies a LOT between each game. There's a lot of features that were added and taken out between Ultimate Ninja 2 and 5. Like UN2 giving you the option to customize your ninjutsu, an option that carried over to 3 but was removed in 4, UN3 taking away multiple supers so you can only pick one each fight, Ultimate Ninja 4's story mode being a game in and of itself, UN5 forcing the tag mechanic on you. Also GNT 4 wasn't the last Clash of Ninja game. GNT/Clash of Ninja Special is the last game.

[@LegendsForever206]

I will never understand why they never localized Clash of Ninjas 3 and 4.

[@ArcadeStriker]

Probably due to how the GameCube was already on the way out in place of the Wii internationally, as the first two games were localized later compared to the original games. Even the second game actually released as "Naruto Clash of Ninja European Version", skipping the first game The delay itself is due to the anime being localized and aired later than the original anime and games, so the Revolution games were the compromise in replacing those last two games by the time the international anime story would allow loosely adapting those with rev1 (almost straight) and tev2 (custom story but most character picks are fit with it except for the missing Sound Four).

[@kleinkaufman8940]

@@ArcadeStriker from what I read, things from those 2 games were sandwiched in Clash Of Ninja Revolution for the Wii

[@EWOODJ]

The Revolution games were just modified versions of the EX games. Which is why not all the characters from 3 and 4 were added. It’s also the reason Part 1 Naruto and Sasuke were added into EX 2 and 3.

[@MasenkOG]

@@kleinkaufman8940exactly. Even with the shippuden revolution 2 it was basically the same. The game ends after the kazekage rescue but they threw in characters from Tenshi bridge and Hidan and Kakazu but Naruto can’t even do rasenshuriken in the game

[@DavidLucian]

I like both Series, but for me Naruto Ultimate Ninja Series from PS2 Era will always have a special place in my heart and soul, these are the most unique Naruto games for me, only Storm 1 was coming close to these Masterpiece Naruto games, especially from gameplay features perspective, I don't know exactly why, but for me, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Series from PS2 Era are so nostalgic, unique and divine at the same time, I have so many memories during my childhood by playing these Unique Naruto games, Naruto games from PS2 Era was always very close to the anime itself because of the unique vibe and charm☯️ 🤷🏻‍♂️✌️

[@jonnycarter46]

Facts 💯

[@xd_teoma93]

Ikr

[@playtypus4592]

So a couple of things. (And I apologize for the wall of text in advance) The Ultimate Ninja series used to have a pretty active competitive scene back in the day starting with the release of the Japanese version of Ultimate Ninja 2. That was the game that introduced cancels, and let me tell you: that was a literal game changer. Basically, at certain points in your attack string you could throw a shuriken or do a backdash and it would cancel the animation and reset you to a neutral state, which meant that if your opponent did a substitution, they would now not be able to hit you for free anymore. The bounces you mentioned (which were introduced in UN3) also play into this. They could be used to extend combos or to set up jutsu traps. Unlike in CoN, you didn't regenerate chakra whenever you hit somebody, so chakra management was very important. Using a subsitution took away a much smaller chunk of your chakra compared to CoN, but if you didn't keep your chakra in mind, you'd eventually run out, and at that point you'd be helpless, since a couple of characters could reliably do infinite combos. In fact, some characters, such as Neji relied on this interplay - they were chakra drainers (kinda like in the manga/anime) who wanted you to waste all your chakra with substitutions and then finish you off. This leads into another point that you mentioned near the end, regarding character variety: even before discovering the more in-depth side of things in UN, I found the characters to present more variety and be closer to their anime-representations. For example, Gaara moved slowly and only attacked with sand in UN, whereas in CoN he was basically the same as all other characters, punches and all. Essentially, CoN characters to me felt a lot more samey than the UN characters did. The problem, I think, is that the Ultimate Ninja series hides a lot of its complexity, but the complexity is definitely there. Some of the members of the UN community used to post general gameplay tutorials and character specific strategy videos pretty regularly, as well as tournament footage. I haven't really followed the competitive scene for either series in the last decade now, but if it seems that the scene for the Gamecube games is still alive while that for the PS2 games is dead, then maybe that's partly due to the fact that the UN series transitioned to Ultimate Ninja Storm and the community with it, while the CoN series has been abandoned by the developers after the last game on the Wii, leaving only a few, but very dedicated fans left. (By the way, CoN4 has also introduced cancels. If you're hitting your opponent, you can hit Y and for a fourth of a whole chakra bar, you'll reset to idle, which means you can restart your attack string for more combo opportunities or to prepare for a side step if you're anticipating a substituion counter. Just thought I should point that out)

[@DrJojoGaming]

No need to apologize for the wall of text. It's cool to see what i missed about these games i cover. It's a bit of a shame that the info on the UN competitive scene is hard to find now a days. I do these videos part time and as a hobby so I can't get to everything sadly. So I appreciate it when someone can fill in any gaps I missed and there thoughts as well.

Both games are fun to play. It will most likely come down to nostalgia which game someone would prefer.

[@112deno]

Best Ultimate, Best Customize Justu, and Justu Clash, Ultimate Ninja Series. Best combat, Clash of the Ninja Series.

[@reomoto688]

One thing to keep in mind is clash still has tourney meetings for that game at fighting tournaments. It also came out on the gamecube and wii. Which severely undersold the playstation by 3x the amount and the xbox by almost 2x. So its not really able to be stastically compared in popularity to ultimate. I honestly think if they came out on same consoles, clash woulda won

[@DrJojoGaming]

The reason I think ultimate Ninja had more sales is probably because of the mass appeal it had. The game is not as complicated and clash of Ninja but more importantly had a lot of flashy big moves with a more robust single player.

[@reomoto688]

@DrJojoGaming absolutely, only reason I think the way I do is because the wii and gamecube were also more limited in capabilities than both the xbox and playstation. They both had low entry to play. But if they were on an even playing field, with clash having more of a growth ceiling it would have lasted longer. Not only that but each character really feels like your playing the one from the show. It was so unique and they have never made anything like it. But both games certainly had their appeal

[@AK-MS27]

It's just because CON can be played competitively

[@Chamadzero]

@@reomoto688 I had played all Ultimate ninja games and only the Rev 2 and 3 of CoN, and in the CoN series indeed there are characters very unique and close to the source material, like Kankuro's puppet having to be controlled separately, same for Kiba with Akamaru, Kisame's Samehada actually reducing chakra for every hit, Hidan can even do his ritual lol and Lee's with the best iteration of the 8 gates of any naruto game imo.

However, I booted up Clash of Ninja 2 on my old silver gamecube with my 100% save file. (Keep in mind, most of my friends are hardcore Playstation fans) None of them even knew how to play and there was way more hype and genuine excitement in the room , with screaming raving and wild reactions all across the room with nearly every match.

While Ultimate Ninja 3 had a ton of content for part 1 and paved the way into the Storm series, the Clash of Ninja series is a "better" "fighting game" imo. The ultimate Ninja series is perfect for experiencing the story and arcade/party game, while Clash Of Ninja is 100% more technical and mechanical. If the west got Clash of Ninja special, and it wasn't rushed and came with all of the cut content and Pain, I genuinely think it would have competed with the Storm series.

Those were the days when game companies tried to keep up with the manga with that current popular character in their gameplay first. Shippuden's games were out of control that in America, Revolution 3 has the Taisen EX1 story but has Taisen EX3 roster along with their exclusive American Rev 2 cast just to fill in and have a complete roster. And Taisen Special added Toad Sage Naruto, Minato, Pain, Raikage and Bee. Completely skipping Toby and Konan. That is insane to me how popular the Shippuden middle arc was.

Even today, the style of Clash of Ninja doesn't look right. Clash of Ninja fighting takes place in small stages which look very weird for these characters, and it kills the epicness. Meanwhile Storm looks the most modern. Storm was a spin-off of Ultimate Ninja. Ultimate Ninja and Ultimate Ninja Storm were releasing alongside one another for a bit. And after a while the devs decided that Storm was the medium they wanted to use to carry on the Naruto story. The Ultimate Ninja series has been releasing before the author even wrote the Shippuden series and they have had success up to this day where the story has finished. Storm is THE game now, of course, and it wouldn't have gotten there if it weren't for the success of Ultimate Ninja. Ultimate Ninja obviously did a lot of things right to get the franchise this far. And Ultimate Ninja was probably a Naruto introduction to a lot of kids.

[@ShundaeDreams]

Broken bond goated..... Rise of ninja lack of characters 😊

[@kultw1837]

@@ShundaeDreams its not lacking shit its just earlier than Bb

[@justingraves9029]

Clash of ninja was the beast they both were clash was fun better 😊

[@AnimatedCarl]

Haven't started watchin' the video yet. Ultimate Ninja was better. There was just an insane amount of content by even Ultimate Ninja 2 and Clash of Ninja just didn't get there.

[@DrJojoGaming]

It does have more content than Clash of Ninja.

[@matiasdupree4834]

Should have went into Wii games for Clash of Ninja because they added so much more especially the Japanese games

[@DrJojoGaming]

Wanted to stay in the same generation of consoles.

[@jabrark5828]

Ultimate Ninja 3 was the best. Nuff said.

[@WednesdayMan]

Charmeleon is cool.

[@Yup932]

Clash of the ninja felt better. Didn’t even feel like ninjas felt like yall were just slugging it out with Naruto moves 😂

[@taxibeats]

Cool vid!

[@DrJojoGaming]

Thanks, appreciate it. Enjoy making it and planning to make more.

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

Great video I can't answer thos because I only played Clash of Ninja games on the game cube (still own them too). I remember it being fun but kinda hard with trying to 100% it The PS2 games do look good though

[@DrJojoGaming]

100% them feels like it could take a while.

[@LostSauce360]

clash of ninja clears and needs to come back fr

[@gorillazwarfare]

honestly think you should've compared the last Original Naruto Ultimate Ninja game (3) instead of 5.. A game that a large chunk of your fanbase has never played lol.

[@DrJojoGaming]

Yeah, I even thought about just doing the last one released in English for both versions as well.

Clash of ninja

[@RmnGnzlz]

Ultimate for casual players, Clash for FGC players.

[@DrJojoGaming]

It does feel that way.
