Super Naruto: Clash of Ninja 4/Rock Lee

Summary

Taijutsu specialist Rock Lee focuses on overwhelming the opponent with his fast, safe buttons, block pressure mixups and lengthy, flying-screen combos. While he can be walled by zoners due to his limited options at range, he packs a punch once he is in his opponent's face. His two 4X chakra gate-releases serve as invincible reversals which also level up Lee's damage and give him access to new abilities, including his Full Gate 5X: the Hidden Lotus, a devastating, full screen teleport super.

Character Traits

• Fastest jab in the game. Lee can hard punish lots of moves on block that other characters can't, and he has the upper hand in plenty of scrambles.
• Can unlock Gates to increase his damage output and augment his moveset for the better. Gate unlocks also double as invincible reversals, a rarity in this game.
• Sports Hyuuga Cancels for string pressure resets and mix-ups.
• Incredibly good wall/corner carry with his flying screen combo parts of BBBB(A) and 8BA.
• Completely lacks any ranged options at all, his best equivalent is making himself into a projectile with run B... purely H2H character.
• Unimpressive damage without gates unlocked.

Notes

• Eight Gates: Rock Lee can open the Gate of Rest and the Gate of Life, with each Gate enhancing his abilities.

Activation burst pushes on block Invincible on frames 1~20 Signature transformation super; Lee unlocks one of his two inner Gates whenever this is used, which buffs his offense in various ways for the rest of the round each time. 1 Gate grants Lee a damage buff to most attacks and some technical buffs to strings and moves, such as reducing the recovery on , giving his a fast rising hitbox, and increasing guard bar damage on his . 2 Gates retains the buffs from 1 Gate but also gives him an even larger damage buff, makes every attack he lands a super cancel point, and also gives him access to his 2 Gates exclusive super: Hidden Lotus, however Lee's health starts to drain itself out for the rest of the round. Both Gates activation bursts can use their invincibility from frame 1 paired with the 360 hitbox to function as a true reversal, meaning that Lee can make the choice of either rushing his Gates to get to his augmented moveset as soon as he has the meter, or relying on them as reversals against opponents with strong offense.

Damage Hit Level Startup Active Frames Recovery Guard Damage Blockstun Advantage on Hit Advantage on Block 115 High 21 2 60 - - - - Costs 100% (4 bars) chakra Invincible on frames 1~6 Lee's 2 Gates exclusive cinematic super where he teleports to wherever the opponent is on the stage and attempts to hit them with a standard unblockable activator, and on hit, pinballs them in the air with strikes at unreal speeds before bashing them to the ground. Hidden Lotus is one of the strongest if not the strongest super in the game. It tracks anywhere on the ground, deals half a health bar's worth of damage or more against a majority of characters, and can be confirmed into from just about anything thanks to Gates 2's super cancels, including on block. Despite its strength, getting to use this super is so meter intensive that by the time you get enough bar for it, you could have probably killed them with normal 1 Gate or Gateless combos and supers.

Strategy

In addition to increased damage, many of Lee's move properties change as he releases gates with .

• : Less recovery making the attack plus on block. Mix opponent by going for grab, jab, or even another 2A. Becomes a combo starter as it links to .
• : Now does half guard damage! Obviously good for guard breaking.
• Gate 2: Now breaks complete guard! Self explanatory why that is good.
• Gate 2: Becomes neutral on block. Still not the best option to do on blocking opponent.
• or Gate 2 : Changes running fist into teleport. Great for approaching when difficult to otherwise, can also reposition yourself when knocking down the opponent. is a set-distance teleport, Gate 2 tracks to the back of the opponent.
• or Gate 2 : unlocks Lee's air throw. Good pressure tool combined with 5BBAA. Gate 2 has a shorter window to tech than any other techable grab in the game, does more damage, leaves the opponent next to Lee and has a special animation.
• : Increased damage
• Gate 2: Highest damaging super in the game outside of Sasuke and Kakashi's full chidori charge. Lee can super cancel off of every grounded move while in Gate 2. is unavoidable after the final backfist due the push on block leaving the victim stuck in their guarding animation.

Similar to the Hyuugas and Tsunade, Lee can feint or "Hyuuga-cancel" certain moves by pressing during the start up of the attack, improving Lee's guard pressure and allowing him to perform strike/throw mixes.
