Naruto game babble

[deralte]

Oh wow. I just spent hours playing Naruto 4 for Gamecube. Damn is that a good fighting game. It's rapidly replacing Soulcaliber in my admiration (even if my thumb is developing a blister). The things you can do are so damn cool. And I love the story mode. There's something ridiculously thrilling about playing Itachi and Kisame sneaking into Konoha. Itachi is so damn overpowered once you get used to him. And I feel really really horrible that I ended up Tsukuyomi-ing Iruka not once but twice *wince* I can happily say I didn't really feel much when I used it on Jiraiya though... The coolest fight so far was definately when I faced down Jiraiya, Gai and Kakashi using Itachi and Kisame:D

I'm trying to decide which characters I should practice with to become better. I still don't like Sasuke but I'm finding fighting with him really easy since he uses taijutsu combos for his basic moves and I instinctively gravitate towards those. I'm quite good with Gaara too. Naruto is horrible, but once he's in kyuubi form, he's a lot of fun to play (mostly cause he's got unlimited chakra). I'm surprisingly good with Sakura as well, but her combo isn't as much fun as some of the others. (I really like Sand coffin-ing people *eg*) I still haven't played around with a lot of the other's yet, but I'm getting down my timing and abilities.

Waha, I got a go of this over Christmas when imouto-&-boyfriend came up to visit and brought their Gamecube. It's ACE. Itachi´s rendering in the game is deadly and hot. xD;;

Yes, I was confused by how attractive Itachi is in the game. I don't really give him a second look in the series (it's those obvious facial lines, I bet) but in the game they're barely there and he fights like a god *L*
