This will be a wake up for some, and great knowledge for others. Anyways, I am going to go though things that are broken, cheap, or just pruely overpowerd in UN 4 UN 5. Ok for starters we going to talk about assits. And you know what? they are are some cheap, it make puppies cry with apples. How are assits cheap, Havik? Well, I have two things to back up my agruement. A video, and a strong statement. For those who didn't look the UN 4 guide, it's states that assits are unblockable, and if chian into anything like oro's OOO, then it like a inf that you can knj out of. For clearer example take a look at this video by FullArmorBass.

What you do since assits are ban.

Assists are banned. They are to be set to manual before the match to prevent accidental activation

If you still don't beielve test it for yourself. Also note the CPU was blocking string. Also a question. What are you goign to do if it hit you?

Now lets cover Ts shikmaru, Sasori, and Gai. Now i don't know why Gai is ban, so if anyone has any info, then someone please tell me about it, ok? But here is the rules for UN4/NA1 trouney play.


Double Elimination BracketsSets are 2 out of 3 rounds, Finals are 3 out of 5Draw matches count as a victory round for BOTH playersRound Time: 99 CountAll other settings defaultSasori, TS Shikamaru & Gai are bannedWinner Character Lock (winner of previous round cant switch characters)Loser Stage Selection (loser of previous round gets choice of stage)Pausing a match forfeits the round.No Transformation Selection (transformations must be EARNED with ougis
As you can see Sasori and Ts Shikmaru are ban. I will explain why both characters are ban in troueny play.

TS Shikamaru: I think videos speaks lounder than words. I think seeing him in action is better than explain. Good news is that he got nerf in UN 5/NA 2 but anyways take a good look at these videos.

Also the shikamaru didn't finish the wall inf. because he didn't want anybody to find out about it. So he mess up on purpose to make it look like a fair fight. He almost got a perfect on ever last fight he had. Also he states he wasn't even trying for msot of the trouney. So, this one is your chocie my friends.

Sasori: Ok now this guy is just gamebreaking!!! And I mean it. Why? Well the list is very very long. Let's name the big ones. All items that have a negative effect DO NOT work on him. His tail block all thrown item,s so you really can't space against, and he make even some characters almost unplayable. His little mode when he about to die is godly. All hit cause poison, and put you on defense while you have the adv. in life. So do you think you can really beat someone good with Sasori? Fighting the CPU on insane ain't going to tell you this. You need someone like Rockman, forte, or DaFeetLee to show you the things I mention. I'll put a video up later.
