[OOC] Naruto: S.E.T.U

Well, the thing with substitution is that's it's an E-ranked technique... During the chuunin exam Sakura tries to fight one of the sand-ninjas (while Naruto and Sasuke are out cold and right before Lee proves that chivalry is not dead by kicking a lady in the face) using a series of kawarimi, every time the suna-nin is anticipating the counter... So it seems like the technique is just too obvious to use once you reach a certain level and more suited for keeping low-leveled ninjas alive.

@Halvtand

Yea I agree is just like that in the game also Naruto or DBZ. When you vanish and appear behind your opponent. You can always count on that they will do a kawarimi as soon as you connect them with you combo. So imagine like Halvtand said, it is to obvious technique to use and will only waste chakra.

@Keanto

I'm not saying that they should be spamming it at every given situation. I'm just saying that therte have been (a lot) of times where it would make sense to use it. Even in the game(s), there are times where it makes sense and actually works; my brothers hate me for knowing when.
It doesn't necessarily need to be used for an immediate counter attack, either; Kakashi used it to just hide when they were up against the Demon Brothers way back on the Tazuna Escort mission. There have been so many times where it would have been smart to just hide and make a new strategy, or something.

@The Mad Hatter

I don't think characters avoid this attack because it doesn't make sense, but because it simply wouldn't work.

Also: @1Charak2, @Shadowcatcher how are your posts coming along?

[The Red Seelie]

As of Yet I have had no sustainel Time. Due to School transfer etc etc

Gotta pray this workload lightens up

[Halvtand]

@1Charak2 At least you're hanging around. It's just a bit frustrating to see the game standing still like this.

I'll produce a reply during the day so the "newcomer-arc" can progress. We can deal with Ayane's assholery later.

[Halvtand]

Post in, had to put the last part in today as it was getting pretty late yesterday. Hope you like it and reply soon :)

[Shadowcatcher]

ill be posting soon. sorry for the delay

[The Red Seelie]

Workload is easing up!

[Halvtand]

@Shadowcatcher@1Charak2 Sounds good, updating subs-page furiously.

[Bright_Ops]

I'll just continue waiting for the posts of others then.

[Shadowcatcher]

reading over things now and deciding what to write. i have a general idea though so im finally ready to crank something out ^^

[Halvtand]

@Bright_Ops Basic RP-etiquette states that you should wait for two posts before posting again. That's pretty much why I posted so soon after my last one. You may write if you want, but if you'd rather wait and let someone else react first that's fine too.

[Halvtand]

So, I've been thinking for a while about what made Naruto stick like it did for me. I've narrowed it down to one thing that made me want to watch another episode.

You ready for this?

Kakashi doing the kawarimi.

This guy does the best replacements ever, I've been looking for a compilation of all his kawarimis but I could only find this one. Basically, Kakashi cheats death in almost every encounter during the first arcs and he makes it look so good. There is even one against Zabuza where you can see the silhouette of Kakashi being chopped in two by Zabuzas giant sword. The kawarimi no jutsu is the one technique which made this series worth it to me. It just signals that anything can happen and that even if something does happen you shouldn't be so sure about the consequences.

[Keanto]

Mine was actually the first time Naruto did Kage Bunshin no Jutsu accompany by that awesome Raising Fighting Spirit soundtrack. But the show really hooked me with the Lee vs Gaara. That fight was sooo good.

[Trevor1001]

Hey Everyone. I was just wondering if you guys/girls are still accepting people? I have a character from a different Naruto RP that never got far off the ground.

[Halvtand]

@Trevor1001 Sorry, we're full at the moment. The game focus on a team of five who are currently out on a mission. Feel free to stick around and join the discussions though, more input is always welcome.

@Keanto@Shadowcatcher@The Mad Hatter@Bright_Ops@1Charak2 Lowering all expectations. Post whatever you have. Post a one-liner if that's what it takes. Don't bother with length or quality. We need to get some momentum here. Everyone make at least one post by the end of the week.

"Sanjou! Nami Tsubasa!"
or in English
"Enter: Tsubasa Nami!"

Posted a crappy intro.

[Bright_Ops]

Sorry for my lack of posting. I was kind of waiting for some of the others to post... But I will get something up tomorrow if they don't.

[Halvtand]

@Shadowcatcher@1Charak2 Hey guys, how's it going? Sure could use a post or two right about now.
