What's so wierd about it? He does it to charge his dash and get a little distance while he charges his Chidori. It would be plain if he just charged and dashed.
Yeah... i don't like his flip. My friend is always Sasuke and he does it... RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. By then the only option to dodge it is a perfect substitution...
i like the flip. It could be cooler (the chidori), but at least it's better than Sasuke just running up and stabbing the guy. Basically, I'm adding on or restating what Sorafan91 said.*
i think the flip is an intuitive way in making naruto games more similiar to the anime and manga. I think naruto should have a rasengan that when he charges it, a clone will swing into the opponent like how he does in the fight between sasuke and naruto in the final valley on the show. i like this idea because then it could give more damage as well more speed to make it harder to dodge but to make it a fair attack add the nerf of having bad accuracy and a delay after being used
i like chunin exams sasuke chidori with his sharingan tey finally added the fetures like showing his sharingan and kakashi's headband removed from his left eye. they really stepped up in this game.
