You know what Cyber Ninja's moveset lacked?

[herpanda]

A kage bushin jutsu and teleportation. I mean, his description reads that he is a compilation of the ninja squad, and yet he only sports Shuriken Ninja's shuriken melee, Accel. Ninja's speed, and the minor ninja's b shot.

Ignoring flame ninja's fire (it probably wouldn't look good lol), Cyber Ninja would have been cooler if he represented the ninja tribe a little more imo. They could have made his terrible charge b into a bushin like Double Ninja's, and made his x a teleport (with a short charge x for the shuriken x 4)

He'd be even more broken, but it'd make sense as a compilation of ninja data. He'd also be able to take on Anubis/Garuda with the teleport, making him as versatile as NGR, GB, and Garuda. I dunno, I just wanted to see more power in this guy I guess.

No, don't make his Shuriken a charge attack. His close range combination attack would be ruined (see the Favorite Borg thread for my post on how that works).

And he's already overpowered enough. I have a feeling his charge attack was made crappy for the sake of making sure he wasn't too broken anyways.

[Metal]

Yea, hes too broken as is. That and well the game gives you G red. Neo g red, all of g red and neos alt/rare colors and capcom gave g black away. It makes sure you have plenty of broken borgs to choose from. as long as your choice is g red...

[herpanda]

Meh, I was just thinking that if he's going to be broken, he might as well have the means to match the other overpowered borgs. He trumps everything else, but has such a bad match up with the G's and Garudas that it makes him feel pretty lacking.

I was thinking the shurikens would be better as a normal x, but a teleport would be better for that. The charge for x wouldn't be long, but really short, so you'd still be able to combo off of his melee.

His b charge is basically a teleport.

[Treadshot A1]

His B Charge is basically crap, too.

Seriously, a Cyber Ninja should only be used for its beam spamming abilities and shuriken. Using its charge b attack is highly ineffective.

Though I do think he could have done with either Beam Gunner's B attack reload scheme (5 beams, constantly reloading) or just 5 beams and slightly faster reloading.

the only borg that trumps cyber ninja is Garuda, because Garuda can abuse the camera angle while raining bombs. the G's aren't fast enough to keep up with cyber ninja. i think planet hero also has a chance against cyber ninja, but he won't be coming out of that conflict unscathed.

also the shuriken should only be used in story mode, as there is too much lag and the shuriken have even less accuracy than the beams on average. avtually you can even use the charge B in story so nevermind.

but yeah i think that it would be cool if cyber ninja had more elements of the other ninja borgs. at least you'd be able to do some pretty flashy moves with the guy, and not just pew pew.

[herpanda]

Yeah, I guess that was my main reason for the teleport and bushin, just to represent the ninja tribe better, with a buff being a secondary plus.

Planet Hero definitely has a good chance against cn though, but cn's shurikens might be enough to knock ph away. Whenever I play pvp though, Planet Hero usually trumps cn sadly. I haven't tried shurikens right before ph's tornado, but it's probably the only way to get out lol.

As for the G's, I'd say they're about on even ground, with cn slightly better. G Crash can be used to get around quickly and close any gaps, and once there melee cn to death (their melee's are a lot faster). The instabeams are pretty good weaponry to set up your G Crash too, though they're pretty cheap lol. Of course, effectively using G Black or NGR takes a higher amount of skill and timing than air dashing and rain of pain with cn lol.

i think that cyber ninja also takes an insane amount of skill to master. sure, the basic idea is easy, just dodge and shoot, but to actually execute that well is really difficult. this is mostly because the opponent obviously knows what cyber ninja will do, so that's why cyber ninja needs to be able to read really well, react quickly, and make good use of mindgames and distancing. his fast pace takes getting used to, especially when you don't want to make a single mistake in your dashes and boost gauge.
