They didn't show if Kisame was using Fusion mode.

Kisame, he admitted that he had hard time to knockout Roshi, therefore mostly he had to use fusion mode to take down Roshi.

Roshi and Son have special bond as good as Bee, but not close. Forty years they were together, no way without doubt Kisame wouldn't use Fusion.

At the end of the fight, there was showering or rain pouring down. That would assume Kisame was using his water prison.

Kisame fusion mode is still no match for roshi on this game :D. If all your unities die and only roshi and kisame left with same amount of life , u lost 100 %.

We don't know what happened in the anime since it was entirely off screen. For all we know, a hostage situation could've happened. Deidara only beat gaara because of using the village as a hostage; otherwise deidara would get just a one for one trade at best with C0, and quite possibly get slaughtered before he can even arm that thing.

I agree 100% like how is kushimaru a part of the meta. Before this game I couldn't even name the swordsmen of the mist, while in the meantime people like tobirama and hiruzen are pretty much useless in this game wtf.

I actually like that minor characters like Kushimaru are highlighted like this, it gives them more publicity.

Though! It should be a temporary thing imo, I do agree that some characters should be better...

Haha true, those characters just flew by me I only knew Zabuza

Gaming balance shouldn't be adjusted based on the Anime/Manga

It'll be an uninteresting game at best.

Although, representation is a different matter altogether and frankly, the game does it justice.

Y'all should tell Storm 4 to "balance like the anime"

Pre-Timeskip Lee being one of the single best characters in the game, while Gengetsu and 3rd Ay are awful.

I just wanna see 2nd stage sound 4 ninjas especially Kidomaru hes badass

Dosu was better then Rock Lee.

This was asked for waaaaaaaaaay back in the game's beginning if you remember.

They should have at least limited resources to do this, which they could probably expand upon if they wanted to.

That's arguable. I like Dosu a lot, but I think he was around the same as Lee if not slightly weaker. Dosu did have the default ninjutsu advantage over Lee along with a generally cautious, more calculated nature compared to Lee being rash and foolish. However, after he was forced to remove his weights and did the Lotus attack Dosu would've been defeated if Zaku wasn't around to back him up.

So Lee has a physical advantage while Dosu has a psychological/tactical advantage.

It was kind of hard to give the swordsmen notoriety in the canon series before the war since #1 majority of them were dead and #2 the focus was on the hidden leaf's problems rather than solely on other villages without the leaf's being involved.

Roshi turned into a giant monkey. Kisame prob used fusion mode.

Hope they have skillbreak later.

Still waiting for a Sakon skillbreak that makes Rash0mon prompt...

we're going off topic o.o

Actually though, I feel like the Sound Four should've been at least slightly more relevant as well. I mean... they're pretty niche usually...
