Super Naruto: Clash of Ninja 4/Naruto

Summary

Naruto takes his place in Super as a well-rounded character with the ability to transform into his feral Zero-tailed Kyuubi (ZTK) form. Naruto's air throw, decent sweep, good running attacks, a long range button and a 14-frame jab leave him ready to face the entire cast without having big exploitable weaknesses of his own. 6A gives him impressive okizeme, contributing to a scary offense, and Naruto also has a few new toys to play with- such as ZTK's 2A chakra burst.

Strategy

Naruto has a simpler toolset than some of the cast, but has a toolset more geared towards offense and threatening okizeme, as and both set up air-throw attempts. and both allow him to approach reliably from a run, and gives him a high range option from idle.
Naruto's defense is not extraordinary- is sped up from vanilla but still not amazing and 2B is an average high crush with low range. His being faster than normal divekicks makes it more reliable as an anti-string option, and just overall a stand-out move.
Naruto has a few directional string options in his base form:

• 
• 
• 

Barreling into action: has a large hitbox covering Naruto's body and active for 14 frames

• Frame advantage varies based on spacing but it's always safe on block
• Can connect with at the wall
• Good for chasing down opponents in backturn situations
• High crushes

Base Form

• is one of Naruto's most important moves, hitting mid and lifting on block
  • Quick recovery and string follow-up provide a guard mix-up between > and
  • Acts as a high damage, single button, -cancellable launcher for combo filler
  • string for punishing KnJs

• : Good string for guard pressure and is hard to beat with a 4B, though it is escapable with normal air kunai after the 5BBB lift
• : Useful mix-up after 5BBBB to punish air kunai attempts
• : Faster than 5BBBB, making it harder to punish and sometimes impossible depending on the opponent's
  • Does more damage than 5BBBB
• // is a spin launcher; useful for breaking Choji or Jirobo's hyper armor
• String options above apply to follow-ups, though can be 4B'd
  • can be done on whiff
• /: Plus on block, which provides a tick throw mix up by the wall
  • The final punch can be 4B'd, but BAAA's low recovery can be used to punish a pre-emptive 4B
• : Can be useful for okizeme since Naruto will be fully actionable by the time the clone appears resulting in plus frames
  • Can punish KnJ's and meterlessly start combos
  • Connect with jab at short range or and at long range

ZTK Form

• : Hits mid, trumping high crush attempts.
  • Same attack as
• : ZTK Naruto's main string for pressure from jab, ends in 8AA which provides great frame advantage.
• : Similar to 5BAAAA but ends in 8BA. Great mix-up as it has onee hit less before the lift.
• / : Having only a single hit before 8AA makes these strings hard to punish with 4B, making them consistent options for okizeme.
  • The 8AA lift portion of the string is punishable with normal air kunai.
• can function as a KnJ or backturned punish or be incorporated into swaggy combos
