Contact Me IX. Legal and Credits I. Intro Naruto is a ninja in the Manga and Anime �Naruto� and was a troublemaker who sought after the title of Hokage, the strongest ninja in the village. After maturing 2-3 years later, he has now become a powerful ninja who sets out to rescue his friend Sasuke, who sides with Orochimaru(a bad guy) because he wants the power to defeat his brother whom killed his entire clan. Naruto was trained by one of the Sannin, Jiraiya, and is able to use the Rasengan, a very powerful attack that is Naruto�s special A in all of his komas that I'm going to talk about. In this game, Naruto is in his matured form. I�m not going to go too deep into the story, since you�ll probably be bored by the time you actually start reading the FAQ so I�m just going to go on. II. Komas Naruto 1 Koma(Help) -Naruto�s help koma gives the ability to wall jump. Naruto 2 Koma(Support) -Naruto�s 2 koma is Naruto�s sexy no jutsu. This support koma requires a little bit of start-up time, but stuns the enemy. This support koma does no damage to the opponent. Naruto 3 Koma(Support) -The Naruto 3 Koma support is the 4 koma�s special B, which is the Uzumaki Rendan. This support koma does 30 damage to characters of power/laughter nature and 45 damage to characters of knowledge nature. Naruto 4 Koma(Battle) -Naruto�s 4 koma has two forms; one in the form of a square and the other in the form of a line. The super A is a basic Rasengan that needs a little start-up time; the super B is the Uzumaki Rendan, which is surprisingly stronger than the Rasengan. Both Rasengan and the Uzumaki Rendan are power type specials, so they do the same damage. 4 Koma Power and Laughter Special A (Rasengan) Special B (Uzumaki Rendan) 32 damage 36 damage against power/laughter 48 damage 54 damage against knowledge Naruto 5 Koma(Battle) -Naruto�s 5 koma has a Rasengan that�s much easier to combo into and a shadow clone attack. Naruto�s super A now begins with 2 kicks while the Rasengan is charging, so it is easy to combo into. Super B is a shadow clone attack that can hit people within your view. If you�re going to use 5 Naruto, you�ll be using his Rasengan much more than the shadow clone attack. Unlike Naruto�s 4 koma, Naruto�s 5 koma only has one nature. Both specials are of power nature. 5 Koma Power Special A (Rasengan) Special B (Shadow Clone Attack) 40 damage 32 damage against power/laughter 60 damage 48 damage against knowledge Naruto 6 Koma(Battle) -Naruto�s 6 koma has some interesting specials that include a Rasengan and a Rasengan combo. Naruto�s special A is a powerful Rasengan that is held by 2 Narutos. Naruto�s special B has an interesting twist to it; he first kicks the opponent up and summons some shadow clones to hold the opponent down. Naruto uses the Rasengan on his enemy while he/she/it is being held down by the shadow clones. Naruto�s 6 koma only has one nature. Both specials are of power nature. 6 Koma Power Special A (Rasengan) Special B (Rasengan Combo) 48 damage 44 damage against power/laughter 72 damage 66 damage against knowledge III.

Tips when using Naruto Naruto is an average character that does not do a huge amount of damage, but can execute quick attacks. My personal favorite is his 6 koma, but a lot of you probably like 5 the best because of his handy X attack. Naruto may not be a threatening opponent by himself, but he can be extremely lethal with the help of a support. So I highly recommend that you have a support in your deck that will work with Naruto, at least one anyway. I�ll talk more about support combos in the next section. Naruto�s guard break is fortunately, a ranged attack. This is good because most guard break attacks only work if the opponent is right in front of you. If you�re close to the opponent, do a combo. If you�re far from the opponent, do a guard break. Naruto can also do some guard break combos with the help of a support, but that will be covered in the next section too. If you ever get your opponent near an edge, don�t do a support combo. You should do B, B^, Y when you�re near the edge, since the last kick from Y temporarily �stuns� your opponent. So don�t go wasting SP when you don�t need to when you�re near an edge; I�ve seen MANY people do this. Naruto�s ultimate action lets you get hit once if you get hit while the wood icon on the bottom left corner is still there. I only suggest using the ultimate action when you�re opponent has a rapid punching special. Let�s say you are fighting a Dio or a Luffy, who both have rapid punching specials. If you get hit while they are punching you with X, teleport behind them and attack them from there. This will be hard at first, but you�ll get the hang of it. V.

VI. Ally Boosts Sakura(Naruto) -Sakura�s help koma halves the time for any negative status effect except for Judgement. -Sakura�s two koma support is just a basic punch from Sakura that does 28 damage to power/laughter and 42 damage to knowledge. -Sakura�s three koma support heals you and rids you of status effects. Gaara(Naruto) -Gaara�s help koma gives you auto-guard. -Gaara�s two koma support releases a pile of sand straight forward to hit the enemy; it requires a little time to start up. This attack does 22 damage to Power/Knowledge characters and 38 damage to Laughter characters. -Gaara�s three koma support is one of those supports where you choose who to hit. It does 34 damage to Power/Knowledge characters and 59 damage to Laughter characters. Jiraiya(Naruto)-Jiraiya�s help koma gives 1 extra SP bar. VII. Deck-making 4 Koma (using laughter Naruto) When you make a deck with Naruto 4 koma, you should definitely have 1 or 2 other battle characters as well. Naruto�s Uzumaki Rendan is stronger than his Rasengan, so you�ll probably be using it more. Lucifer 3 is an ideal support koma for this deck because of the chain combo Naruto can do. You should definitely have a healer if you�re going to use Naruto 4, because he tends to be easily killed. I suggest you use the laughter version of Naruto 4 koma, because most people on wifi just LOVE power characters. Besides, if you run into a knowledge character, your Rasengan and Uzumaki Rendan are of power nature and deal more damage to them anyway. 5 Koma (maintaining SP) When you make a deck with Naruto 5 koma, you should put at least one more battle character in the same deck. Making a solo deck with Naruto 5 would just leave you with too much space. I would highly suggest Zoro 3 as your support for the deck; he does a good amount of damage and is good for Naruto�s combos. I suggest you put a few help komas that increase your SP bar by 1, since the support combo takes at least 3 of your SP. Even though the 5 Koma combo that I listed is the strongest out of all 3, it uses the most SP too. 6 Koma (support-use) For 6 koma, Piccolo or any other support that pulls people toward you is your best friend. If you�re not going to give your Naruto any help komas that reduce damage, you should put a healer in the deck. Sakura 3 is a good choice because she gives Naruto a boost and also gets rid of a status effect as well. I personally use Josuke 2, because I want to use that one extra space to put a help koma that increases my SP bar. ANY Naruto deck should DEFINITELY have Jiraiya as a help. Not really but, Jiraiya gives you an extra SP bar to use and also gives Naruto an ally boost, which is VERY convenient. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. With piccolo 2 koma as your support, you should have no problem using Naruto�s Special A and B. VIII. Contact Me If you find any errors or typos, either message me on AIM or email me.
