Anyone else pre-order on Amazon and not receive the pre-order DLC codes?

I posted earlier about pre-ordering at Best Buy and the code I got in my e-mail has either already been used or it's not valid. Doesn't sound like anyone else is having any issues though.

What is that thing where it's like a chakra dash but there is yellow electricity, everyone I'm playing does it after I substitute, what is that? It just makes it so they can reset their melee combo.

cacelling. triangle+X to dash ancel in the midst of a combo, makes it easy to recover after your opponent subtitues.

Just started Adventure.

Kakashi and Sakura trying (and failing) to get Naruto and
and Hinata to date
is pretty funny. I demand it to be canon!!!

ok for all the flack i've given this game so far, I just got to the final chapter......I said WOW. that last battle has to be the prettiest looking thing I;ve seen so far this gen O_O

SOOO much amazing gifable stuff in the final battle.

It doesn't make up for the rest of the story mode's lazy cutscenes and storytelling.

The only good parts where the 3d scenes...

My GF and I had never read or watched this part of the story and we were wondering so many times WTF had just happened...

So you went in blind? Have you read the differences now. I was upset by who
actually defeated Kaguya as a fan of that character.

So, the fighting system is subpar, but that doesn't make the game not fun.

What I thought about, you can't do anything to defend yourself once your substitutions run out.

I think CC2 should do something about that, nothing drastic, just a small way to defend yourself once your subs run out, nothing too good, just a little something that would take risk.

I don't know what that thing would be.

Er... You can block, dodge, and use Reverse Ninja Dash to put a lot of space between you and the opponent.
And since Revolution there's the Counterattack, too.

It's can actually be extremely easy to turtle in these games.

Wish the cut scenes were abitr shorter but other than that liking it alot. Helps that I havent bought a ninja storm game since the first one played bits and pieces of the others.
 
Any tips for getting S Ranks? 90% health with no way to heal is tough, especially in the later game fights. One or two hits puts you below that and the bosses have so much health.

Any advice appreciated.

So my friend who isn't a manga reader played it. And it confused the shit out of him. Yep this game was made for manga fans. I had to explain to him about the censored ending ...he didn't understand why their xxxxx were black ._.

Honestly they shouldn't have censored that.
 
Has there been any news on a patch for PC? Matches are fine for me, but menu navigation, cutscenes/storymode, and QTE's chug along and the frame rate drops to make it impossible to do anything outside of fights.

Rush them down. Chakra dash and mash out a full combo . Dont go for ultimates or ninjustu and chakra dash the instant they substitute to keep the pressure on.

Finally got to play it yesterday. I skipped all of the slideshow storytelling and just watch the 3D animated ones as they come. Since I just recently watched this arc, there was nothing lost. The action in the fights were incredibly satisfying as always.

Played some online and I was completely ripped apart, but as I got better, the game got a lot more fun too. The game bugs out to the PS menu most times I've tried to play online. Hope they fix this soon.

Yeah, there are numerous significant scenes and explanations cut, important dialogue cut, filler scenes and almost canon contradicting dialogue.....the whole Kaguya thing was undersold as well.

If you are expecting an accurate representation of the manga then this game is not that.
 
Gotta ask, how are the camera angles and animations during the cutscenes?

I am playing through the second one and I noticed that the camera angles go behind the character that is talking so CC2 didn't have to animated their facial expressions. And the lip syncing and animations are pretty bad at times. Sometimes it breaks the immersion of me playing it. But overall, I am enjoying the second one despite its faults.

If you use the Kakashi ultimate jutsu and put the CPU on Super Easy with full handicap ypu can finish fights and get over 20000 ryo in like 6 seconds. I heard it takes a little over 8000000 ryo to get everyone. So maybe an hour or less. Might be more practical to play the story, but I am going to do it while catching up on the Bombcast.
What happens once I get the ryo, do I buy people or do nothing

Recently finished Story Mode, Acquired S rank on all missions there were only a few difficult ones in my opinion.

My advice as others have said is to rush the opponent and keep an eye on their projectiles as they're often the cause of slight chip damage leading to A ranks. Some of the battles though started to get annoyingly buggy on repeated attempts such as the
Madara (Susano) battle with Sasuke. With Sasuke getting stuck behind or to the side of him and unable to hit him or the four clones he spawns.
There were a few times when the AI attacks you after resetting before the match has started leading you to have a tougher time with an S-Rank

All in all though I actually really liked playing through this game I felt like they did a great job with ending the "ultimate storm" series, the cutscenes could have been executed better in some parts though with less reliance on anime stills. The final fight was well done although is a pain to S-Rank due to
Sasuke not taking damage after a certain amount of damage during the dialogue sections

I would recommend this game to those who have read the manga or have a fair idea of the story as it's briefly explained in the game, or to those who are looking for a fun, strategic-ish fighting game.
