(Intr) Introduction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again, for your gaiming pleasure, is Minuo, and his amazing guides!
Seriously though, I am back to create a guide for the second installment
of the Shinobi Retsuden/Ninja Destiny series. This game is pretty decent,
and has been fleshed out a bit. Although they reuse a lot of characters, it
is still fun to play. All in all, it's a very pleasent sequel to a already
pretty enjoyable game. they could have fleshed out the whole story mode a
little though. I'd give it maybe a 8/10, my highest rating yet. =P

*Note*
For the sake of length, I am not going to include all the past
character's combo lists. If you want to see them, simply visit
my FAQ on the Naruto: Ninja Destiny page. The link to the
GameFAQS is:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Chst) Character Statistics:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These stats are based off of the way I see how each character plays.
The four stats are: attack, defence, special and speed. Attack is how
well the character combos, and how much damage he/she does. Defence is how
well the character can sidestep, and how effectively he/she can block.
Special is how much damage the special can do. And finally, speed is how
quickly the character can dish out a combo and move about. Most characters
will accel in two stats, and have two poorer stats, though this may not be
always the case. The higher the attack and speed, the more the character
is suited for comboing. Conversely, the higher the defence and special,
the more one should use their special.

To read this, keep in mind the more stars (*), the higher the stat.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Ctat) Character Tips and Tricks:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this section, I will dish out the tricks I know, to help you become
a better player. I will also add tips that are submitted to me, if
any. If I am missing tips on a character, it is just because I dislike
him/her, and rarly use them, it does not mean there are no tricks to
them. These are all mearly little things I have picked up while playing
the game. They are meant only to better you as a player.

-----------------------------------
Generic tips:
-----------------------------------
-Kunai do little damage, but are great to avoid close combat, specials,
and are the ideal weapon to end a match when you opponent has only a
sliver of health left. Use them to get out of jams fast.

-Substitution is a good way to get out of a combo, but is a better way
to avoid being hit at all. Timing one right, you can avoid an opponents
attack with ease, assuring you a perfect victory. Watch your chakra though.

-Specials are a good way to deal massive damage, but some are better then
others. Once you know how much damage they deal, decide if you want to
attack with combos or specials. The weaker the special is, the more you
should use combos instead.

-Items are good ways of getting out of jams, but a good player really does
not need them. Use them only if you truly need them, otherwise, just let
them be.

-Get to know a character by going through single player a few times
with him/her. Getting to know a characters strengths is good for offence,
but knowing their weaknesses allows you to cover them more effectively.

-Get to know a characters combos. Most have a soft combo and a heavy combo
as well as multiple mini combos, mostly just tacked on at the end of a
back or forward attack. Use these to your advantage.

-Attacks which make opponents kneel are great. They open up their defence
to another combo, or a special.

Good work. After all of that, you've beaten Story Mode.

-Sidequest #1
Go to the top-right hand dot on the map to meet up with
Temari. She'll ask you to get to the end of a map. Easy,
just go east. Once that's done, go back and talk to her,
and she'll ask you to find eight shiny things on the map.
=P Demanding, isn't she?

-Sidequest #2
Go to the north-west region of the map and meet up with Shino.
Exit the village from the south.

-Catching Butterflies-

This sidequest is east-peasy. Just wander around, fighting butterflies.
When you find one that doesn't take massive damage from a hit, then get
it down to reasonably low health, then press A to capture it in a case.
Repeat three times to complete this sidequest.

You've only have 6 cases, so don't go pressing A until
you know you've got it in the bag.
