Shinobi executions suggestion (Rasengan,Chidori) | Forums

[EmilyZas]

I think we all know that there are lots of fans of Naruto, right? AND I'M DEAD SURE all of them play Shinobi because of this anime (including me). So, I suggest to add Rasengan (Naruto style) and Chidori as new executions for Shinobi. Everyone will fell in love with them, no matter how much it will cost, I promise!

I'm a Shinobi main and I just have to say... NO. Shinobi's teleporting on deflect and double dodge already breaks immersion as well as the ranged attacks he has, not to mention Shaolin's long range teleport and the stupid event executions. This game did not start the Beta with all these lame mythical/magical BS, it was attempting to maintain gaming with realism and now that's all just screwed. As far as using Shinobi because of liking Naruto, that's your personal opinion. I picked him up because he was low HP, and hard to use. The challenge of winning a fight with Shinobi is what drew me to using Shinobi; not an anime.

Devs, please, no more mythical/magical BS.

I am also a Shinobi main and I didn't choose the hero because of any anime influence. I chose the hero because of the amount of skill it requires to master; using the Shinobi involves a lot of more concentration than other heroes because you cannot afford to get guard-broken or parried due to the low HP and if you throw the wrong attack then you get punished more severely than the movesets for other heroes.

The Shinobi is a very challenging hero to use, which is why the Shinobi players who train hard enough to be good have given the Non-Shinobi players the impression that the hero is unstoppable when in reality the Shinobi player simply has higher gameplay skill because we have to train harder than players who use easier heroes.

This higher threshold requirement in skill to master the Shinobi is why I believe Ubisoft made a terrible mistake when they nerfed the Shinobi in Patch 2.11 because they didn't take into account the amount of time and effort it takes for a player to even become competitive with a Shinobi.

Anyone can pick up a Hitokiri, Jorm, Black Prior, or most any other hero for the first time and get easy kills, but if you try that with a Shinobi you'll get dominated quickly because you actually need to fight strategically and methodically when you use a Shinobi since you cannot trade hits with anyone without dying. It takes a much longer time to be viable with the Shinobi.

Regarding executions, I don't really care where the influence comes from because it won't effect gameplay and even if it came from Naruto, I wouldn't know it since I don't watch that stuff. However, if the execution is some kind of magical move, I would likely feel disgust.

Yeah, that sounds realy cool, and these executions could be added to game as an easter egg to Naruto. I personally don't like Naruto so much, because he's just spamming some 'dayo' in almost every his sentence, but whatever. Your idea is good

I despies Shinobi but you know what I despise even further? Magical bullcrap. I want to experience realism or something as close to reality as possible while playing this game. Giving Shinobi a magical bs would make me despise him even further and feel more disgust.

We need more realistic executions not nonsense.

I think these would be cool. It's not any more extreme than shaolin's execution. I support this idea.

Idk why people care so much about immersion...its a video game that already wasn't realistic in the first place. There's literally nothing realistic about Shinobi, or most other characters. Literally the Vikings in this game are your stereo typical Vikings to fit the theme of the game. Real vikings don't even look like that. For Kensei, Literally no one used a Odachi in war because it was too large, its not practical, you'd get yourself killed. These are some examples.

I main Orochi, but I like Shinobi. I don't care about Naruto and I'm not really a weeb. But I do like flashy executions.

I do understand your complaining about " no more magical stuff ". But we already have all of that animations with ice, fire, darkness and etc. Moreover, there are already some magical executions on Orochi, Aramusha, Shaolin, so what will it change? C'mon I don't want them as new Shinobi active skills. Executions, emotions, masks, animations, all of that just for fun and I like it. This game is not about 100% realism like Mordhau and Chivalry. Shinobi can teleport, Shaolin can dodge Justiciar's pollaxe by using his bracers! (Also he can teleport too!). So, what is so bad in just two new executions? (That looks not more magical than others btw.)

[DCM047]

Im all for it, I think it would be cool haha

im suprised people still talk about immersion at this point when you can execute your opponent and have rain cloud literally appear over the two of you..

The effects can be disabled easily in options. I have mine disabled to give myself more of an immersive/realistic experience and that's why they're not a problem. They can be disabled. I'm personally sick and tired of all that magical and teleportation crap.
