Super Naruto: Clash of Ninja 4/Choji

Summary

Choji is the proto-typical grappler of the game. While he lacks speed and long-range options, his unblockable, super-armored command grabs 5A and 8A allow him to wrestle the enemy into submission, and his body expansion specials take precedence over most other attacks. The always hungry Choji also has a unique mechanic: he can consume chips with 2A to power up the damage of his attacks.

Strategy

You generally want to get people down on the ground and follow up with 5A when they stand up.

Since 5A has super armor, it beats WUK attempts from the opponent. Use this to make the opponent fear doing WUK, and go for your high damaging 2X super.

Don't be afraid to take some damage, HP is a resource so use it. 5A beat a lot of other characters strings while setting up for okizeme.

Try to eat some chips whenever you have the chance, and try to not use up more chips than necessary. A Choji with a full stomach instills fear into his opponents.
