Super Naruto: Clash of Ninja 4/Kakashi

Summary

Having two forms, numerous super-cancel points and directional inputs, the "Copycat Ninja" Kakashi can be one of the more intricate characters in the game to play. While his base form is somewhat slow and limited, Sharingan grants access to several exceptional buttons, one of the most damaging supers in the game, and Sharingan cancels. Kakashi's high damage output, varied options, and HP can truly make him feel like a Jounin in a game full of Genin.

Character Traits

• Lots of super cancel points that let Kakashi route into his multi-utility supers.
• Sharingan install and Sharingan cancels give Kakashi access to multiple string reset and strike/throw opportunities in his pressure
  • Sharingan cancels can be used either for this or for "free" Y-cancels in combos
• Sharingan 4A is the fastest counter in the game and can work on supers (and even copy some of them!)

Notes

Extra Super Cancels

Kakashi has numerous unique super cancel points in his strings described in the string list section, much more than most other characters. A list of them can be found in the Strategy section.

Sharingan

Kakashi is able to activate his Sharingan , altering his moveset considerably at the cost of slowly draining his health out while active.

• Sharingan Cancel: When in mode, you cancel perform a Sharingan Cancel by pressing after certain moves, which will cancel all recovery frames and return you to base form.

It's quicker than base 6A, deals more damage, and is also highly effective as a super confirm due to its meter build and launch height.

Upon catching most attacks, Kakashi will teleport behind the opponent, but when he gets a successful catch against a number of characters' supers, Kakashi will copy the super and perform it back on the opponent himself for massive damage. If he doesn't want to copy a copyable super, he can also hold while countering to always perform the teleport instead. List of supers that Kakashi will copy: Naruto , Sasuke , Sakura , Iruka & Mizuki (Both will perform Mizuki's version) Zabuza (Kakashi will perform a special Chidori version of the Hidden Mist Technique!)

Strategy

Kakashi should enter Sharingan mode whenever he has a chance, most often after scoring a knockdown, since it gives him access to several of his best moves as well as Sharingan cancels. While attacking the opponent's guard in Sharingan mode, every super-cancel point becomes a mix-up as Kakashi can either continue his string or disable Sharingan, allowing him to either start a new block string or attempt a throw.

The combination of Sharingan-cancel based block string mix-ups and heavy guard damage means that Kakashi can often threaten guard breaks. and (both base and ) in particular are strong and low commitment. is plus for Kakashi and results in a 50/50 scenario. Following with a , which hits mid, beats most options. If the opponent jumps back after , Kakashi can check with an air throw. If the opponent holds block, Kakashi can throw.

and give Kakashi two of the best approach options in the game and allow him to close distance fast, which he will need to do against projectile zoners. Both have a continuation string with (the same punch as ), allowing Kakashi to activate or deactivate Sharingan after his running attacks or combo into a super.
