YES.

One of the main reasons I was pushing for the 'characters start in awakening' thing was because I wanted to play as Madara and not goofy Tobi. I was worrying that the only Madara I'd play as were the fifteen seconds of awakening when having to slug through Tobi.
Soooo happy.

New 9-minute trailer with some AWESOME new footage, and a lot of older footage.

It also looks like, Itachi has two Ultimate Jutsus, just like one of Naruto & Sasuke's character slots (Kyubi-Rasengan \ Rasenshuriken & Chidori Spear \ Kirin). Just like them, it doesn't count as 2 characters, so that means we'll technically get over 75 characters when it's all said & done.

That would be rather interesting to see. One thing about Itachi was the fact that in UNS1 he used Tsukuyomi as his grab move, awakening mode and his ultimate jutsu. Personally I loved the use of Tsukuyomi as part of his character and it was one of the few things in UNS2 that I was sad to see left out. Hopefully it'll make a return in the generations game in some way or form.

I'd also like to point out a few interesting things from those screenshots:

There's a marker for characters like Kakashi & Orochimaru - whose awakenings can be activated just after they pass out of the Green, or in pre-Shuppiden Neji's case - while he's still in the green! It looks like there's a lot of balancing that's been done with the power of Awakening Modes, and when they're usable, which is hopefully a good sign.

There's also Danzo's Awakening, where he Izanagi Teleports: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - which was just too badass not to mention (since the screenshots were out of order).

I noticed the ordering of the screenshots (Where one of them was in the wrong place). Gotta say that Danzo looks pretty awesome!

Masked Madara combo at the beginning.

Also- Famitsu gave Generations 36/40 (All four reviewers gave it a 9/10).

There's a tournament being hosted of CPU vs. CPU battles until it's released in Europe. The first one is Masked Madara & Minato vs. Kisame & Itachi.





Also, there's an ad for Zabuza & Haku's story.

Kabutorochimaru is confirmed as a playable character, and the scan makes him look friggin' AWESOME.

Final Character List


AND some Snake Cloak Kabuto gameplay for ya (starts at 1:21).





Now comes the tough period of waiting for it to come out here, and not watch any more stuff online.... (There's also an NA demo for PSN if anyone's interested)

Apparently it does! :monster: (saiyan island has videos).

Pain's Shinra Tensei hits 10 times, but only TYPICALLY hits once because it knocks people away. Hinata's Jutsu keeps them locked in place during the full duration of the attack and prevents them from being knocked away, thus dealing a metric shitload of damage.


Also, in UNS:G, apparently Haku, Choji, Sakura, Tsunade, Shino, & Konan can perform a Jutsu and immediately follow it with an Ultimate Jutsu.




Saiyan Island's also been putting up movelists for all the characters, but I haven't been able to check them out yet.

A few of those are done with Ultimate Chakra turned on, I noticed, so perhaps not as many are that exploitable. XD

Awesome fact: if you've got save files for UNS1 & UNS 2 will get you 20 additional starting characters & 100,000 Ryo (not sure how they break down per game).

I played around with some characters on Random last night before getting sucked into Journey, and the combat seems really fluid. The Average CPU is a bit more capable than previous games, which is nice. I'm really liking Dash Cancelling and Combo Breaking. I'm still getting the hang of how to time everything appropriately, and there'll be a LOT of learning with all the characters. I'm really digging the new Sasuke though (he's the only new character I've got), and Guy's Ultimate Jutsu is awesome.

Overall, I'm thinking that I'll agree with Kotaku's review, but I'll get an official opinion on that once I actually get into the Story Mode (hopefully tonight or tomorrow). Even if that's the case, Asura's Wrath will fill and hunger for my beautiful QTE Cutscene Story Mode cravings by CC2 (and with them sharing a release date in Japan, I can see a reason for them differentiating them drastically in which has what content).

So... both the Kotaku & IGN reviews talk about the Kawarimi Meter being new... but for some reason, they also both mention Awakening Mode as being new.

wat.

It's almost idential to UNS2, gaiz. Am I missing something?
