No, to start on equal footing means you don't need a textbook to learn the controls. You are exactly the kind of person who'd rather have an advantage based on studious knowledge of something ridiculously complex than based on your actual ability to play the game

i don't really agree with this.

i can agree that having simplified controls so it's more accessible by beginners is great. but, don't agree that someone just starting should be on equal footing as someone who's played the game longer. this doesn't mean that the beginner will always be worse - only at the beginning.

and i also think that studious knowledge does increase one's actual ability to play the game.

EDIT: forgot the on-topic - i will probably get UNS instead of TBB because it's out now and i haven't treated myself to a naruto game yet. i am slightly disappointed that it doesn't cover sasuke and naruto's big fight and that it only has 25 characters. i guess i'm secretly hoping for DLC... free DLC...

 

You're missing the point.  If you're a better player, you will still win, but you shouldn't win because of controls and rules the opponent doesn't know about.  You should win because you are faster, smarter, and more capable. 

Also, it includes through Sasuke's and Naruto's fight.  Not sure what you are talking about there.  It does only have 25 characters though, but unlike most Naruto games each character actually plays completely different.

@Goddbless they aren't special.  They are simple and easy to learn.  That's the special part.  People shouldn't be trying to screw with insane button mashing combos to be good at a game. They should be the faster and mroe intelligent player to be the better one.

i guess you're just making a case for easy-entry into a fighting series. like the jman (who has been in and out of character which made me question if someone hijacked the j man's account), i'm a believer in studying a game to be better at it. i don't do it to the degree i did it when tekken 3 was out, but i think it made the games more enjoyable... at least for me.

i must have mis-interpreted the one review i read regarding the big fight (it said something about the story mode ending just short of the shippudden series... which i thought was the big fight at the waterfall).

it's hard for me to grasp the idea that a one attack button can translate into 25 characters that play differently. if you could explain it to me... or not.

i actually went to the eb games to pick up gears of war 2 and naruto:uns, but i didn't end up getting the naruto game because of this thread... haha. i'm going to read more on it and then decide afterwards.
