Street date broke early, which means the tourney guys over at Shishi-Rendan.com have been getting their claws into it. Didn't take them long to completely break the game. 
 
  

they will probably fix that.

"It's a shame how the mighty have fallen. If you're looking for a serious fighting game, don't look here. "

Thank god I don't play broken fighting games.

It seems like Naruto fighting games always end up broken like this. Can't wait to see this in every match online.

Wait- people care about the intricacies of a Naruto fighting game? Now I've seen everything.  
 
I've played this game in so many different names. None of them were particularly distinguishable from each other. 

I highly doubt that anyone was looking at this as a serious fighting game... I mean, seriously? It's Naruto for god's sake! 

I'm enjoying this game thoroughly and the discovery of this glitch will not hinder it one bit. How many people playing online are savvy enough to even know that the glitch exists? It wouldn't surprise me if I didn't play against a single person who does.

*holds back laugh* 
Oh man next year's EVO is so
 *holds back laugh* ruined  HAHAHAHAHAHA
 
Come on it the naruito fighting game, next you'll tell me the Castlevana: judgment is more serious than street fighter.

Wait a minute with all the fighters we have now and coming soon Super Street Fighter 4, Mortal Kombat 8, Mortal Kombat remake, Tekken 6, Virtua Fighter, Tekken vs Street Fighter, Street Fighter vs Tekken just to name a few, your looking forward to a 
Naruto game?!?!  
 
I just hope you don't consider yourself a fighting game fan, because this is basically a sin mention such a sub par series....  I'd rather go back to playing the crappy Ninja Turtles fighting game on the SNES and Genesis!!

Don't take this the wrong way, but you consider a Naruto game a serious fighting game?

As someone who has the game I can safely say I don't care.  I didn't buy the game as a serious fighter, I bought it for the single player.  The fighting system is so damn simple. 
  
The chances are either most people wont notice they can do the glitch, not care or it'll be patched before it gets out of hand.  Even if it doesn't ... who cares?

I'm quite surprised how many people are willing to plunk down 60 dollars for a game they know the be broken. 
 
It's your prerogative. But that makes no sense to me at all. 
 
And to those who are saying "OH THERE ARE OTHER FIGHTING GAMES! AND THIS IS JUST NARUTO! PLAY SOMETHING ELSE! IT ISN'T A SERIOUS FIGHTER!" They used to be. For a long time on the PS2 and to a lesser extent on the PSP, these games were absolutely brilliant serious fighting games. The last few  iterations fell off and really, with as good as this game looked 4 months ago, It wasn't outlandish to think it may have been a proper return to form. But it's not. 
 
I suppose this is the mortal kombat deception to the rest of the line. Again, I'm simply surprised at how many people are okay with that.

This is a serious game breaking bug. We need to notify the developers immediately, as this will adversely effect the balance of tournament play. EVO will probably ban it unless it gets fixed.
 
Oh wait, what game are we talking about? Naruto? People care about Naruto fighting games? People care about Naruto? Hell, isn't that show no longer on TV since Cartoon Network killed off Toonami? I, I don't understand.

" @SlashseveN303:  The Naruto games as of late have definitely become more and more broken with each iteration. Ever since UN5, they keep trying to add in new things that ultimately cause every battle to devolve into spamming one attack constantly. "

This thread is fun.  
 
I know that these USED to be intersting games, but it's in the same way that the DBZ games USED to be interesting fighting games. Then they got 'improved' and everyone hated them.

Wow to be honest I dont see what all the fuss is about. I have the game and I think its really fun, I didnt think someone would make such a fuss over a naruto game. I wouldnt call that broken because the move that is used (the so called game breaker) cannot be used at any time, the player must of charged up enough charka and the unblockable move can be simply dodged.

Gonna quote something from another forum that I think sums this "problem" up pretty well.
 
" In a fighter, running in on someone who has a full gauge of anything: Super Bar, Ultra Bar, Maximum Gauge, Heat Gauge, Tension Gauge, Whatever Gauge from whatever game is down right stupid. Just because you can cancel with a KnJ and go straight into an Ougi does NOT make the game breaking. It if anything makes it more interesting. Observe:

In SF3 if you parry a hit in a combo when your opponent even allows for the space to, you can retaliate, and come off a parry into a mild combo, into a super. In SF4 if you block something with a Focus Attack, there is a one frame difference where you can input a command to do something exactly after it, and not absorb all the shock instead of waiting out the flash of the focus to attack back.

This mechanic is in a LOT of fighters, if it does not make it broken when it happens in those, it is not broken in this game either.

Secondly, why on EARTH would you rely on one singular tactic to combat someone when you know someone else has the edge? That is just sloppy and very scrub like. Not to say that UNS2 is going to be competitive to the extreme of titles as: GG, BB, SF series, or Tekken but even thus, it is just incredibly ignorant to want to assault someone when you know they have the ability to counter attack and unleash a large damaging ability or combo on you in exchange.

I feel like everyone right now is just doing all this moaning because they essentially thought, that they were going to figure out one devastating combo or two for characters, and then abuse it and win matches. Well, wake up: In the fighter world THERE IS ALWAYS A VARIABLE FOR ANY SITUATION. The KnJ cancel is now the variable for mindless combo usage. "
 
Chakra management is as much a part of the game as anything. If someone has a full bar don't charge in looking to mash O and do a combo, you need to wear them down first and look for an opening.

Man, a bunch of dudes here are just being dicks especially the dude who made this phrase kinda famous:

"The only defense is the to play the game like everyone did in Storm 1, which is to never attack, to always stay as far away as possible and spam long range jutsus, assists and ougis. If you don't do this, you will lose.   And that is broken. It's not like it's something where, if you can tell their about to do it, you can avoid it. The only way to avoid is to not engage, and since it can always be done, the only thing to do is NEVER ENGAGE. That's right, the best tactic on how to win in a fighting game is to not fight. That's pretty terrible. "
