Super Naruto: Clash of Ninja 4/Shino

Summary

Not everyone can be a hero; the only Konoha boy left behind for the Sasuke retrieval mission gets his revenge in Super Clash of Ninja 4. Shino is known as a setup character who summons bugs to control space, enforce one of the stronger okizeme games in the cast and create tick throws and unblockables. Compared to Vanilla, Shino benefits from revamped combo routes, a unique air throw, and importantly a quicker charge A, allowing him to utilize the bigger, badder version of his bugs summon in more situations.

Notes

• Due to the commitment required to start his setplay, Shino must adjust how he uses his bugs depending on the opposing character, which means Shino players must have a general understanding of the other characters in the cast in order to fully utilize his kit.

• and are notable as important tools to create openings for Shino to start his unique brand of pressure.

• Bugs can be destroyed by being hit, kunai and most projectiles. There are some projectiles that don't work for destroying bugs (some include Temari (charged), Itachi , and Tayuya Ogre-based moves).

Strategy

Things to know about certain Weak Moves and Throws

• Avoid using () too much in neutral due to Shino having the worst jab string gap without some form of bugs. Be aware even with bugs (charged as well), certain 's can go through Shino's bugs (like Rock Lee and OTK Naruto) and some can even go through bugs and hit Shino during his (like Kimimaro and Awakened Hinata) so sometimes you must block or if you have a good reaction time use as a punish. Using gives Shino enough time to use (charged too), however you must immediately run in front of the bugs to protect it or else the opponent can just tech roll into (Kunai) to remove the bugs. Also it's better to use (uncharged) near walls/corners and (charged) in bigger stages/positions further from the wall to prevent Shino from being punished on tech roll.

• drains some chakra and gives him 3 plus frames (you act 3 frames before your opponent), normally this would be fine but due to Shino's () being very lackluster on block, Shino's options are very limited after the throw. It is recommended you only use this move when bugs are present (for pressure with or combos with charged).

• helps him counter foes who attempt to jump over his grounded bugs.

Advice about using Bugs

• In neutral, characters that lack a normal (kunai) Shino can risk more (charged) instead of (uncharged) from a distance on tech roll (preferably on large stages or when Shino is not near a wall) such as Rock Lee and Choji, but in most cases you must play safe and do (uncharged) on tech roll due to characters with quick teleport attacks and/or quick options or else you will be punished. Some include Ino and Kiba , Might Guy and CS2 Sasuke .

• Shino can tick throw after the opponent is currently blocking bugs or setup an unblockable scenario with .
