Legal Crap: Naruto and all its characters do NOT belong to ME
in any shape, form, or fantasy. However, I do like to lay claim
to Temari as my main Narutimate character.
HOWEVER: If you quote me in your FAQ, please do credit me.
This is my first guide here on GameFAQs, so please, play nice.

/\ *Triangle*
[] *Square*
() *Circle*
>< *Cross*
Triangle: Prepares Ougi Launch. This involves "buffering"
either one, two, or all three of your chakra
bars in order to use an Ougi Launch. After you
press this button to prep your Ougi Launch, you
will have to press () to do the Launch itself.
Square: Uses your selected ningu (weapon). See [WEPS1]
and [WEPS2] for a comprehensive list of them.
Circle: The button you use for nearly ALL attacks. Use
the Circle button with D-Pad presses to execute
any attack from your well-stocked move arsenal.
Cross:Jump and air-dash. That's ALL this button does.
Well, if you press Up or Down, you can stage-
jump.
R2 & L2: Blocking. ALso, pressing this button at JUST
the right moment will be rewarding in battle.
More about that at [KAWA1].
R1 & L1: Ningu selection. Scrolls your selection right
and left. See [WEPS1].
I'm going to assume that you are already smart enough to
understand things like how to use the analog stick, the
d-pad, as well as being able to decipher commands like
"Down, Down, []"

[INTRO] Introduction to Temari
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=++=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
Temari is, to put it modestly, the goddess of wind jutsus.
She attacks using two things: her iron fan, and the gusts
that it creates.
Pros and Cons of Temari - [PROCN]
Pros: She can deflect projectiles from a mile away. When in
her Veil of Wind state, she can even reflect them at
your enemy perfectly. Her easiest Ougi Launch happens
to be usable in the air. Also, her jutsus work VERY
well to cover her strengths and weaknesses. Her air
dash covers INSANE distance when she's Veiled.
Con: She's slow when she's not Veiled up. Her attacks are
escapable most of the time. Her long-range abilities
have been watered-down. Also, she seems to charge
Chakra slower than most other TimeSkip characters.

[KAWA1] Kawarimi no Jutsu (KnJ) ------------------- R2 & L2
This is THE most unique aspect of this game. Nearly
every single character in this game has some sort
of "infinite combo", so how do you escape them? By
utilizing KnJ. Pressing Guard just as you are about
to be hit will teleport you BEHIND your opponent,
and uses about 15~20 chakra.

[COMBO]Movelist and Combos
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
There are several different terms I will use here, so read
up:
Slams:
Moves that kock the opponent away forcefully. If he
hits a wall or an obstacle or even the ground while
flying, the opponent will bounce and lose a bit of
his chakra. Its important to use his chakra loss to
YOUR advantage.
Oi Uchi:
Follow-up move that initiates a sequence where you
and your opponent try to out-mash each other on the
() button.
NOW, ON TO THE MOVELIST!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Forward + ()
- Temari opens her fan and attacks with a gust of wind.
- This deflects all projectiles except Fuuma or Poison.
Back + ()
- Temari's ground grapple. She knocks the opponent away
with her open fan.
- Can wall slam as well as go into Oi Uchi.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Up + ()
- Temari swings her fan upwards and hits the oppoenent
in the face.
Up + (), ()
- Temari follows the swing with a multi-hit fan throw.
- This is her most basic Oi Uchi launcher.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Down + ()
- Temari uses her closed fan to hit the opponent's legs.
- This is a Guard Bypass move.
Down + (), ()
- Temari opens her fan and Ground Slams the opponent.
-------------------------------------------------------------
()
- Temari smacks her opponent with her fan.
(), ()
-Temari opens up her fan and does a spin attack.
(), (), Forward + ()
- Temari follows the spin with a blast of wind.
- This can Slam if the opponent hits a wall, and it can
also initiate Oi Uchi.
(), (), Up + ()
- Temari throws her fan and knocks the enemy upwards.
- This is also an Oi Uchi launcher.
(), (), Down + ()
- Temari smacks the opponent into a ground Slam. Nothing
special here, really.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Air Combos: Can be done in the air, OR right after doing a
><, >< Air Dash (which is NOT blocked)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Down + (), ()
- Temari does several turns in the air, spinnig her fan
to hit behind her as well as in front of her.
- This is her air-to-ground slam. It throws the victim
at a 45° angle, but does NOT knock out chakra.
Forward + (), (), ()
- A simple smack, smack, smack aerial combo.
- This can end with either a wall slam OR an Oi Uchi.
Up + (), ()
- Another simple aerial combo that ends with Temari
throwing her fan and knocking the opponent skyward.
- This is also an Oi Uchi launcher.
Back + ()
- This is her air grapple where she grabs the opponent
and throws them at the ground.
- This move will almost always end in a ground slam,
but if you're REALLY high up in the air, it can go
into Oi Uchi.

[JTSU1] Jutsus
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
Down, Down, () - Shin Kamaitachi No Jutsu
Temari summons her pet weasel Kamatari using her fan
and sends him forward, dealing 10-12 hits as well as
deflecting any projectiles in its way. This move is
*almost* completely undodgable. Mighty Guy can jump
over this, and some of the speed characters can do
a stage-shift (Up or Down X) fast enough to avoid it.
Up, Up, () - Kiri Kiri Mai
Temari lunges forward and does a small swipe of her
fan. If the swipe connects, then it shows a short
cutscene where Kamatari does a 13-hit combo on your
unfortunate victim. However, if you miss the first
hit, then you've pretty much wasted chakra. See my
[JTSU2] section on how to utilize this jutsu.

[USEFL] Useful Tips
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
- NEVER use her Forward + () at close range. It's way too
slow and will give your opponent a free combo.
- Air-Dashing WILL knock out projectiles, but don't resort
to using it too often. If your enemy sees the pattern,
he WILL use it against you.
- Also, Temari's air-dash distance is somewhat...lacking.
So avoid using it too often, period.
- Temari's taunt is evil, cruel, and all-around unfair. Use
that to your advantage.
- Temari's moves are mediocre in speed, so be prepared to
throw some kunais in your opponent's face if he KnJs.

[WEPS1] Ninja Weaponry
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
- Infinite Ammo Weapon - This is the only weapon you will
have at the beginning of a match, and this is the one
ningu that you'll never run out of. For most characters,
this is either a handful of kunais or shurikens.
- Exploding Kunai - A kunai with a little flame next to it.
EXPLODES ON IMPACT, so don't blow yourself up trying to
nail your opponent at close-range.
- Exploding Sticker - A red piece of paper with a yellow
flame next to it. This will stick to your opponent and
count down from 8 seconds, then blow up.
- Exploding Slip - A plain piece of red paper. This will
float to the floor when thrown, and will explode after
3 seconds.
- Kunai Bag I - A deflated-looking bag with a kunai next
to it. The bag falls to the ground and then spits out
a handful of kunai a few seconds later.
- Kunai Bag II - Floats in the air and rains kunai a few
seconds later.
- Multi Shuriken - Looks like three shuriken next to each
other. Splits into about 15-20 HOMING shurikens.
- Fuuma Shuriken - Giant shuriken. Nuff said. Will "over
ride" every other projectile weapon in this game.
- Those are all the ones that I will cover in this FAQ.

[XTEND] Temari's Moves (Extended)
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
Forward + ()
- Don't use this at close range. Use it on cliff stages
to knock people off the edge, but don't abuse it.
- You can Shuriken Cancel (see [SHURI]) just as Temari
pulls her fan back to launch the gust.
Back + ()
- Very fast, and very reliable. If your reaction time
happens to be AMAZING, then you might be able to use
this grapple right after a successful KnJ.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Up + (), ()
- This seems to be untechable, so this is a great setup
for either Kiri Kiri Mai OR an Ougi. However, since
the opponent is launched rather high, the timing will
require practice.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Down + (), ()
- Guard break comes too slowly, so use it ONLY if you're
completely sure that your opponent can't stop you.
-------------------------------------------------------------
ALL of the following combos can be cancelled into Shuriken
OR Kiri Kiri Mai. That's pretty insane.
(), ()
- This hits BEHIND you, for the love of God. That means
TAKE ADVANTAGE of it. This plus SHC equals infinite
combo.
(), (), Forward + ()
- If you need a gust of wind, then I'd rather you use
this instead of her Forward (). It's smaller, but
faster, and pushes the opponent just as well.
(), (), Up + ()
- Techable but EASILY chained into Kamaitachi. If you
land this combo, then it's a free Kama + Taunt for
you.
(), (), Down + ()
- Cancels into Kamaitachi, cancels into Kiri Kiri Mai,
and chains into all 3 of her Ougi launchers. My God,
this chains into everything!
-------------------------------------------------------------
AERIAL COMBOS EXTENDED
-------------------------------------------------------------
Down + (), ()
- Temari's risk-free move. It hits all around her, the
spin goes on for a good while, AND it's SHC'able.
Back + ()
- If you use this while Temari's Veil of Wind is active
, you can literally do this move about 4 or 5 times
in a row, and since this is a grapple, trying to guard
against it is useless.

[JTSU2] Jutsus (Extended)
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
Shin Kamaitachi No Jutsu
- Slow startup means you can NOT use this move as part
of close-range combat, unless you're using the jutsu
RIGHT after a ground slam or an air launch. Good God
, this move does great blocking damage, is nearly un
-avoidable, and pushes the victim a HUGE distance.
- If you land this jutsu, then don't STAND there! Do
your taunt, or charge. But don't waste the window
of time this move grants you, understand?
Kiri Kiri Mai
- Chain this into her combos. "Which one?" ANY OF THEM.
Every single one of her ground combos will chain into
this move. EVERY single one. Using this right after
a ground slam is especially cruel, because the chakra
you used to perform the move can be regained simply
by picking the chakra that your OPPONENT lost from
your ground slam.

[WEPS2]Ninja Weaponry (Extended)
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
- Infinite Ammo Weapon - Good only for Shuriken Cancel or
as distraction.
- Exploding Kunai - Use this right after an aerial launch.
You'll blow the opponent out of the sky, and avoid all
risk of being caught in the explosion yourself.
- Exploding Sticker - Once this sticks, keep your opponent
from stage-jumping! If they do, then they'll avoid the
explosion. Be very careful about getting caught in the
explosion yourself.
- Exploding Slip - Jump over the big explosion.
- Kunai Bag I - Use this if you're fighting against a guy
who constantly KnJs out of your combos.
- Kunai Bag II - Useful as a distraction only.
- Multi Shuriken - Combining this with ground slam means
big damage for your opponent. Don't waste this item by
trying to throw it from the other end of a stage.
- Fuuma Shuriken - Nothing creates an opening like a big
shuriken to the face. Use this on unsuspecting victims
to ensure that they won't be able to block your combo.

[EVIL!] Taunting
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
- I'm not entire sure her taunt deserves its own section,
but here we go!
- This is another one of those unique features of the Nar
utimate Series. Every single character has a taunt that
bestows some beneficial effect on them. Some taunts use
up chakra in exchange for increased attack, while others
give a power boost. The list of effects is below:
- Healing: Characters like Sakura and Tsunade recover HP.
- Stat Mod: Temporarily increases ATK/DEF/SPEED/ETC.
- Items: Summons ninja weapon. Unique to Tenten, I think.
- Avoidance/Counter: Avoids/counters incoming attacks.
- Awakening: Goes into the chracter's Awakening Mode.
- Now, Temari's taunt is of the Awakening type. That means
when she taunts, she gets a nice boost in DEF and ATK,
PLUS the ever-useful Veil of Wind.
- Veil of Wind: Greatly increases Temari's jump height,
running speed, air-dash distance, and attack speed. This
means you can jump like crazy and pull off insane combos.
- The Veil also grants you complete immunity to nearly all
projectiles, except for Fuuma, Poison, and explosives.
- Now, it is KEY that you take advantage of the Veil while
it is still in effect. Here's a few ideas how:
- Air Dash and use Back + () to do a ground slam, then
quickly throw some kunais with []. Soon as you hit the
ground, air-dash to your falling opponent, and repeat.
This knocks out a huge amount of chakra.
- Remember how her Down Down () fits into nearly all of
her ground chains? Well, so does her Awakening Ougi.
- If your opponent gets smart and starts blocking, DON'T
BACK OFF! Use her increased attack speed to pull off a
Down + () guard-break, then continue pummeling!
