Exactamundo Nerezza, which is why I'm actually glad that they nerfed him in Accel. still close to Top tier, but atleast he requires more skilll to play him.
For those of you who own the game, hers something I want you to test:
Have a 2 Player VS battle. Itachi vs whomever.
Have Itachi ground* throw the guy and then* immediatly throw a shuriken at the opponent while he is in the air.
While the opponent is on his way down, have 2nd Player try to move or press O.
Problem is he can't move. and won't be able to move for atleast a second after he has landed.
but thats enough time to land a LV 2 special... which leads straight into Tsukiymi(SP?). and from there... well your options are limitless.
Yes, so that is just ONE of themany cheap Itachi strategies an Itachi Player can throw at you.
Or atleast thats the one that I most commonly used. LOL!
thats called a cancel lock (i think) alot of people can do it not only itachi. you wont be able to do anything for like 1 or 2 seconds. many people do this and finish it with ougis, not just itachi users
And yeah I know alot of people can do it, but that doesn't make them cheap because alot of the time to have to combo juggle your opponent. And can be kawarimi'd out of almost at any time.
In Itachi's case all you need is a* throw. One chance to Kawarimi, you missed it and you're as good as dead. Also he lock lead straight into Tsukiyumi(Damn I reall need to learn to spell that)* and again, that has many possiblities.
So while other characters have button locks too, its Itachi's easy button lock method, blazing lv2ougi startup, Tsukiyumi, fast exploding bunshin, quick ground throw, near infinite air throw, really good -> + O attack which makes him cheap.
sasuke and Kakashi lol this is what i do when i play against my brothers first I wait to see who they pick so i can [see if i can copy their moves] then i pick kakashi or sasuke so. Then i use one of there special moves that usees sharingan. Once i see sasuke or kakashi uses the sharingan in there cutscenes i stop and do nothing when its done i just.I just finish my brother off with there own fighting style and jutsu
