Super Naruto: Clash of Ninja 4/OTK Naruto

Summary

The menace of Vanilla GNT4 is still a force to be reckoned with in Super Clash of Ninja 4. "OTK" (One-Tailed Kyuubi) Naruto is an aggressive character with high damage, fast movement and threatening okizeme whose powerful block string loops can easily break the opponent's guard if they are slow to react. His most significant nerf from the base game is a smaller health bar, but who needs HP when your opponents are being torn apart in seconds?

Character Traits

• Short stature and low profile run lets OTK naturally low profile some moves
• Some of the highest damage combo filler and ender attacks in the game (8A, 8B, 5X)
• Strong offense with a mid jab, B buttons that chip on block and looping blockstrings that can force strike/throw while also dealing great guard and chip damage
• One of the best ranged attacks in the game with 6A that eats most other projectiles for breakfast and can convert into combos from almost anywhere.
• Opponent always needs to be on the lookout for his great burst options with 6B, 6A and 5X
• Low HP. Having no bar with OTK is precarious as there are characters that can outright TOD him if his KnJ gets baited or he messes up a wake-up super.

String List

String #	Inputs	Notes
01		Cancellable at () BB string notes 5BB is a true blockstring. 5BB(B) is an upward claw swipe similar to 8B. Can be escaped by a backdash at midscreen or sidestepping anywhere, easier to sidestep if done to the opposite side that OTK is clawing from. Slow 4Bs tend to get beaten by 5BBB(A), but some can win. 5BB(A) is 0 on hit. 5BBB(A) is a claw swipe that dunks the opponent back down and can loop back into another 5BBBA string. Can be dodged to escape the string by holding [7] or [8] to air block 5BB(B), and then double jump backwards with a specific timing to avoid the 5BBB(A). Video Example 5BBBA does insane guard damage, being able to guard break most characters in 2 reps or less.

33		BB string notes 8B can be punished with air throw, but its string followups (8BA/8BB) will punish air throw due to being throw invuln. 8BA has a 9 frame landing recovery for OTK, 5 frame landing recovery for the opponent. The opponent can't do anything in the air after blocking 8B(A), and OTK lands so early before the opponent that even with the landing recovery he is plus on block (recorded to be +6 vs another OTK)

Weak Attacks

5B

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto 5B.png	Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 15 Mid 15 2 29 225 - - -10 Primary Jab. Can go into () on whiff.

6B

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto 6B.png

Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 17 Mid 22 3 36 255 23 - -14 6B is OTK's infamous lunging claw slash jumpscare. Great burst option as it reaches as far as 1/3rd to 1/2 of most stages' diameter and is surprisingly good at clipping opponents who are airborne close to the ground, such as if they're trying to instant jump kunai in neutral or out of a scramble. He can follow up into either another that launches upwards or his strings. When spaced, OTK can also high profile wake up kicks if timed right. Flag Data Low Crush frames 10~25

2B

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto 2B.png	Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 18 Low 17 3 32 270 18 - -15 Low sweep. Can follow up into , , etc. Flag Data High Crush frames 12~39

4B

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto 4B.png	Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 28 Mid 31 3 28 420 28 - -1 Guard frame attack. Techable bounce on hit. OTK should be able to enforce oki if the bounce is teched. 4BA string can cover situations 4B clashes with the incoming attack. Flag Data Autoguard frames 2~17

8B

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto 8B.png	Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 20 Mid 18 3 33 300 12 - - Upwards, launching swipe which lifts on block. Fantastic single-button combo filler when Y-cancelled and good for guard pressure as well due to the 8BA loop. Flag Data Low Crush frames 20~40

Running B

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto runB.png

Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 22 Mid 22 4 33 330 28 - -7 OTK's sliding, upwards scoop that sends the opponent flying on hit and can be Y-cancelled to chase afterward. It is NOT hard-coded to high crush, however OTK's hurtboxes pancake to an incredible degree during the start-up of this move to where he can slide under numerous jabs and other attacks that strike above waist height.

j.B

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto jB.png	Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 25 Mid 25 - - 375 - - - High damage air dive and good combo filler. Unique to other divekicks, OTK does a backflip after landing.

Strong Attacks

5A

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto 5A.png	Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 18 Mid 18 3 29 270 14 - -16 Basic claw attack; slower than 5B, but less minus on block.

6A

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto 6A.png

Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 10x3 Mid 26 6 - 150×3 28×3 Launch - Flying screen launch on hit OTK launches a giant Snap Hand at the opponent that does a massive launch on hit and pushes them back far on block. It can be for combo follow-ups anytime and anywhere, most of the time into itself until reaching a wall where OTK can combo into stronger attacks that don't use up as many hits. The number of hits makes it beat out most incoming attacks and projectiles very easily, but it has long recovery that leaves OTK vulnerable to punishes if it whiffs. The trajectory of the move when seen in strings can be changed by holding , although this mostly comes into play during strings due to the minimal time the input is detected for. However, due to a recently discovered technique, if you press and at a precise timing, you can do the upwards launching version of 6A without relying on the strings to do so (Video Example). This standalone "Kclaw" is capable of linking into itself indefinitely at walls, however can be a little difficult to pull off without practice and OTK is easy to punish if the opponent KnJs.

2A

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto 2A.png	Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 20 Mid 58 - - 300 12 - - OTK dives underground and then appears with an uppercut under the opponent.

8A

File:SCON4 OTK Naruto 8A.png

Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 5, 40 High 14 11 lots 75 - - - Capture state on hit Incredibly high damage (probably the highest in the game) hitgrab slam that also gives a hard knockdown and a chunk of meter, so it's perfect for ending combos. Doesn't have hard-coded crush frames, but OTK ducks down so low during frames 3~9 of the startup that he can go under jabs and other high-hitting moves. If the opponent substitutes off the ground after this move, OTK has enough time to Billy no Jutsu the opponent before they can act, even if they do it on the first possible frame.
