I have mixed feelings about Arrow Ninja and Shijima.
I feel that they are kinda cool, but pretty lame, yet really neat, but totally dumb.
They are pretty odd borgs so I wanted to know what you guys think of them.
I haven't made a poll yet, and this is a reason to if there ever was one, so... ;D
The forced shortness of the answers and the limit to 8 listed answers is kind of a bummer, but oh well.
Poll away!

Meh. On the one hand he's very good at what he does. On the other side he can't do much damage very quickly. I don't like using him because of his low damage but i don't hate the borg itself. I hate when he comes up in 1player though because he's always teamed with really powerful stuff.

Hmm...
Twice as many people seem to like him over disliking him.
Weird, I figured that his lack of ability to deal damage would have influenced your opinion of him a bit more.

Let's just I'm glad my Arrow Ninjas are all lv. 10.
Since they are assisting Borg, they're not a very big favorite to me, since I like to be on the offensive more.

I've tried using the Arrow Ninja. It didn't go well.  But I must admit the Arrow Ninja is a pretty cool borg. Interesting abilities in combat, odd melee attacks, and, most importantly, if I recall correctly, by jumping, he can DO A BARREL ROLL!  |

I just realized that a knights shield can't stop the arrow ninja's tether arrow.
I don't know if I like or hate them more because of that.

I hate when he comes up in 1player though because he's always teamed with really powerful stuff. this is exactly whi i think arrow ninja is really cool. of course he's a support borg, and gotcha force is supposed to be a team battling game, so arrow ninja has his niche as one of the most useful support borgs you're ever going to get. he nails close-ranged borgs, traps aerials, and kills everyone else, that is if you have a good partner, say, slow valkrie or garuda? I just realized that a knights shield can't stop the arrow ninja's tether arrow. I don't know if I like or hate them more because of that. well now.... that only serves to make him even cooler, now does it? |

Arrow Ninja has one use, in my book: Keep things still for team mate's ICBM Tank / Ultimate Cannon.
Only useful, in my opinion, to get the two mentioned borg's attacks to be a guaranteed hit.
Other than that, I absolutely hate ninjas, so I dislike him in general.

I like the design, and I usually use it on missions where i know the enemy cant do aerial attacks so i just tether them in two places and let the shuriken fly. I hate fighting them unless i'm using neo/G-red then i use the buster on them. Also I know it is a cheap strategy but if I am down to just using Red then i continually buster the opponent, especially in Sho levels.

I don't really like using Arrow Ninja in story mode, because it's just too weak and the partner GF Commander doesn't really act out of the ordinary when someone is wired. In human versus matches, Arrow Ninja is probably a little better since the other player isn't AI, but I can't really imagine that they would beat a team of human-controlled Top Tier borgs.
I would have liked to see the wire trap idea implemented on better borgs. Same with poison, ice, jelly etc. There were so many neat ideas beyond just bullets, lasers, and swords that they gave to only a few borgs. I guess Capcom was trying to promote teamwork and playing with friends by giving the cool status effects to horrible attack borgs so we can't Rambo our way through everything... as if we couldn't already do that with a Neo G Red or Cyber Ninja.

Blizzard dragon is a better borg. his ice attack is what makes him so broken. i'm not sure why he costs less then plasma dragon, but the immobilization is pretty bad.
arrow ninja really is made for team matches, because gotcha force really does seem like a game perfect for team matches, as one on ones turn out to be who can dodge the fastest, and you get to choose a partner during story mode, even though the computer can't control borgs worth squat...

I think they were just overly worried about balance issues. They were a bit too careful to make them not broken just because of their unique thing (jelly, wire, poison, etc.) |

well, that and the fact that he can't get touched while shooting said beams.

useful when life threatening Borgs are on the field when you are him but when you are not he is a pain in the A*** when life threatening Borgs are on the field but other time useless. what i think: weak attack low HP when faced up agents him like i said a pain in the A*** so the only time i would use him if i have no other Borgs for less than 300 gf Energy
