I am happy to hear such a strong response to our plans for free downloadable content. We will actually be announcing more about our plans for this content tomorrow (dates, characters), so keep an eye out for it!
I don't know what is worse... that I'm buying a Naruto game (second XD) or I might buy two within two weeks of each other... :lol Of course if the Ubisoft's sequel for the 360 isn't as bad as last years...
A note on support characters. These won't just be for show, like an extra attack only. They can be used to buy you time to charge up the slower moves like Rasengan and Raikiri (these moves require you to charge up a bar before you unleash them making you easy target for your opponent). Also, their moves can be selected before the match so you can customize what they will be doing during the fight. For instance, you can make them prepare traps for your enemies and they actually push them into said traps.
