(Intr) Introduction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got tired of trying to find a combo list for this game,
so I decided to make one; for both my reference and your own,
as well as for my own entertainment.

Feel free to use this as you will, but do not take credit for it.
You are welcome to email me if I have forgotten any combos or attacks. 
On a side note, I think that all the characters have, roughly,
the same amount of combos, so feel free to experiment 
because my guide may not contain all the combos, yet.
Also, all of the names of attacks (save for specials) I
have created myself to best discribe them. Feel free to call them
what you will. In this guide I have added "character Stats". These
are mearly just the way I interpret each characters weaknesses and
strengths. This is by no account factual information. It will,
however, give you a look at how each character plays.

Alright, let's get down to the game! Naruto: Ninja Destiny is a 3D
fighter on the Nintendo DS. This is a single player game, with
multicard play. The basics and pretty simple, and usually
people get the hang of it in the first ten minutes or so. They also
say it is a poor game because of the lack of content and they compare it
to the Wii. I think this is unfair, and that you should give it a try
if you like Naruto. All in all, I would give this game a 7.8/10.

strength is much better then before. Also has no kunai, and can fly (Sort of).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Chst) Character Statistics:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These stats are based off of the way I see how each character plays.
The four stats are: attack, defence, special and speed. Attack is how
well the character combos, and how much damage he/she does. Defence is how
well the character can sidestep, and how effectively he/she can block.
Special is how much damage the special can do. And finally, speed is how
quickly the character can dish out a combo and move about. Most characters
will accel in two stats, and have two poorer stats, though this may not be
always the case. The higher the attack and speed, the more the character
is suited for comboing. Conversely, the higher the defence and special,
the more one should use their special.

To read this, keep in mind the more stars (*), the higher the stat.

(Ctat) Character Tips and Tricks:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this section, I will dish out the tricks I know, to help you become
a better player. I will also add tips that are submitted to me, if
any. If I am missing tips on a character, it is just because I dislike
him/her, and rarly use them, it does not mean there are no tricks to
them. These are all mearly little things I have picked up while playing
the game. They are meant only to better you as a player.

-----------------------------------
Generic tips:
-----------------------------------
-Kunai do little damage, but are great to avoid close combat, specials,
and are the ideal weapon to end a match when you opponent has only a 
sliver of health left. Use them to get out of jams fast.

-Substitution is a good way to get out of a combo, but is a better way
to avoid being hit at all. Timing one right, you can avoid an opponents
attack with ease, assuring you a perfect victory. Watch your chakra though.

-Specials are a good way to deal massive damage, but some are better then
others. Once you know how much damage they deal, decide if you want to
attack with combos or specials. The weaker the special is, the more you
should use combos instead.

-Items are good ways of getting out of jams, but a good player really does
not need them. Use them only if you truly need them, otherwise, just let
them be.

-Get to know a character by going through arcade a few times with him/her.
Getting to know a characters strengths is good for offence, but knowing
their weaknesses allows you to cover them more effectively.

-Get to know a characters combos. Most have a soft combo and a heavy combo
as well as multiple mini combos, mostly just tacked on at the end of a 
back or forward attack. Use these to your advantage.

-----------------------------------
Naruto Uzumaki:
-----------------------------------
-Naruto can combo easily, can string those combos well, and has a decent
speed. Use those to your advantage by attacking without a pause.

-Naruto's second special, the resengan, is easily one of the best specials
in the game. Always try to use it, because if you get one single combo
and a resengan, the opponent is as good as dead.

-----------------------------------
Sasuke Uchiha:
-----------------------------------
-Sasuke's jump+Y attack is a kick, which makes the opponent kneel. 
Use this to begin a combo for an extra hit. To land it perfectly,
simply press forward then backward on the D-pad while in the air.
If done correctly, he should kick them in the back of the head,
make them kneel and open them up for a combo.

-Phoenix flower jutsu, cool to look at, not very fuctional. It is
easy to dodge by sidesteping, so only use it when an opponent is
getting up, or at close range.

-----------------------------------
Rock Lee:
-----------------------------------
-Rock Lee can string together almost all of his combos, if 
mastered, he could easily wipe the floor with any opponent.

-Lee's special is great! Combo your opponent then, with 100% chakra,
slam him with a primary lotus to ensure your victory.

- Lee lacks long range kunai, so always say close to your enemy.

-----------------------------------
Neji Hyuga:
-----------------------------------
-Neji's palm rotation is my best friend. I always open with it, as it
sends my opponent flying. If timed correctly, using this after an 
opponent uses the substitution jutsu will keep you safe, and hurt
your opponent.

-Like Lee, Neji has a great special. Focus on comboing, but do not be
afraid to use his special to end a fight, or begin one, if you are lucky.

-----------------------------------
Shikamaru Nara:
-----------------------------------
-Using his little thinking pose, you can either attack long range for 
safety, or go in for the kill close range. If you go in close range, you
can set up any combo from there.

- Shikamaru's special is decent, but harder to land then most. Use the
thinking pose to get up close then smash them with it, but use it only
to get out of a tight spot.

-----------------------------------
Itach Uchiha:
-----------------------------------
-Itachi's special is the best in the game. A combo to gain chakra then 
his special is enough to wipe the floor with any opponent. Lean more
towards his special then his combos, but do not over use it.

-Itachi's combos are difficult to master, but once done, he can easily beat
any opponent.

-----------------------------------
Nine-Tailed Naruto:
-----------------------------------
-This version of Naruto can teleport after any combo by pressing B (or Y). 
Use this trick to string together long combos and keep the opponent in the
air. The Jutsu Lock item is useful here, to keep the enemy from teleporting
away.

-His speed is amazing, use it to spam your opponent with combos.

-His special is not as good as the resengan, keep that in mind if you use it.

-----------------------------------
Second State Sasuke:
-----------------------------------
-Sasuke can fly! Well sort of anyways. Use Sasuke's flying stomp to close
the gap between you and your opponent.

-His chidori is better then before, but not amazing. Try to combo more then
special, and only use the special as a quick finisher.

-Like Nine-Tailed Naruto, Sasuke can teleport after a few of his specials.
This comes in handy from time to time.

(Uchg) Unlocking Characters Guide:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Stde) Story Mode:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is where I will tell you who you are playing as in story mode,
and who you are playing against. The first character in the list is the
one you play as, and the second, obviously, is your opponent.

1st Fight: Naruto Uzumaki VS Neji Hyuga

2nd Fight: Shikamaru Nara vs Temari

3rd Fight: Sasuke Uchiha VS Gaara

4th Fight: Naruto Uzumaki VS Gaara

5th Fight: Kakashi Hakata VS Itachi Uchiha

6th Fight: Sasuke Uchiha VS Itachi Uchiha

7th Fight: Orochimaru VS Tsunade

8th Fight: Tsunade VS Naruto Uzumaki

9th Fight: Jiraya VS Orochimaru

10th Fight: Naruto Uzumaki VS Orochimaru

Most of the fights are easy, except when you are going against
Naruto or Itachi, but even then they are not very challenging, 
except on hard mode the first time through. There may also be 
some lag when you fight Tsunade or fight as Tsunade. 
All in all, the story mode is short and sweet,and it covers from 
half way through the Chunin Exam arc: Finals to the 95 episode 
of the anime, in the Search for Tsunade arc. 

On a side note, I was disappointed at the lack of voice overs in
the cut scenes, and the small number of fights. I also would have liked 
the story to go up to the final battle at episode 135.
