Another thing is that I heard that marketing and support, like addressing issues, etc., for this game are all run by Bandai. Bandai is only showing love to the DB games, which is understandable since they pull in the most money, but Bandai doesn’t allow any other anime IP to be successful like DB because they put half effort into them. I see a lot of CC2 hate when most of it isn’t their fault or in their control. CC2 has made a collection of beautiful-looking games, and at one point people wanted CC2 to make their favorite anime IP fighter, but now, ever since connections, everyone thinks it's a horrible dev, which is not true; they just don’t get a lot of power, budget, and time. Unless we start boycotting Bandai, we’re never going to get good anime games.
My Hero Ultra Rumble seems to be managed well it has flawless online, constant updates and is fun to play. The only issue is it's a gotcha game and over time has become pay to play in terms of power creep. Most of the other anime games I played were train wrecks like Demon Slayer having the worst online out of any anime game some very good and also very questionable mechanics and Jujitsu Kaisen tanked faster than I could blink an eye. I wish all anime games were great and properly supported but I'm sure some take precedent or priority over others. The common factor seems to be Bandai Namco to me since CC2 doesn't manage or create all those games. Bandai completely tanked their Gundam Overwatch knock off shooter game and turned it into a micro transaction farm before it shut down. Offline the Storm games are great no one has supported them more than me in the past 13 years but I can't support anyone playing them online ever again if they don't fix the stability online. I hope the DBZ games will be good but I would be surprised if they got that right.
Besides the cheaters and hackers that flood my hero Rumble, it is a solid game, but I feel like that’s a hard thing to fumble due to it being a live service battle royale. Especially since Bandai is aiming for all their games to be live service now, hence why we never got a Xenoverse 3 or Shinobi Strikers 2, but they get flooded with DLC, and now Jujustu Kaisen and Connections are live service games. Bandai has no problem getting a quick buck and promoting anything that will help them with their greediness, and the formula my hero Rumble has is exactly what Bandai is all for. Old Storm, Demon Slayer (offline), and My Hero Rumble are a few games that got lucky where Bandai threw the developers scraps and they were able to make something out of it, but the biggest problem is really online and support. Some of these games are really solid, like Demon Slayer, which is a beautiful game despite me not liking the tic-tac-toe Mickey Mouse easy gameplay it has. It is a solid game, but like you said, the online is god awful, which completely kills the game, and that’s what I’m scared of with Sparking Zero. These games can look beautiful and play well, but the online experience completely tanks the game, and they do nothing about it because they don’t listen to the community.

Yeah BHS and SS were really popular back in the day and would expose everyone. She exposed more people than anyone in history but there were other ex posers after that a few that mained Sasori and puppets. After that there was the Storm 4 Goat and I'm sure I'm missing some but there is a very long history of people harassing others in the community who didn't deal in good faith or were seeking out negative attention. Towards the end of Storm 3 life cycle and in revolution I got along with some of those people but the impact they had overall was damning to ability of the community to flourish and be positive. It pushed a lot of people away and created a lot of negativity.
@@DontLoseToFear yep! im pretty sure it was KSH and a few others from ELITE and HATE clans, most of these guys were popular like you said and they either had clans or students who all acted the same as the players before them and so it just spread through the community. those days were super toxic, i dont see much of the exposing stuff going on though mainly because im not apart of the community anymore but its a shame that its still going on since most of these people are now grown with 20+ years of age. even though most of these players are gone and probably dont play anymore to my knowledge, the legacy they left with the community wasnt a good one like you said.
CC2 already said Storm Connections will be the last storm game in the franchise, and they will support it for the next few years. They want to make a new Naruto game that is on a new engine, and they are aiming for something like DB Kakarot. This can just be a reboot with Ultimate Ninja in the name, but I’m sure this is the last storm game but we can never say never; it’s up to Bandai at the end of the day, which is why we got this rushed slop called Connections. From what it looks like, we’re just going to have to keep flooding them with criticism and wait for them to fix this game for the next few years. At least Bandai is sort of listening; it’s just that they’re not listening enough and they’re not dishing out enough updates for this game. I still enjoy this game because it’s a breath of fresh air. I want to play the newest experience of Storm, not something almost 10 years old like 4 or the previous games, because this is the only game getting support, so I’m stuck with this game if I like it or not. But 70% of the time, I actually enjoy playing this game simply because I see the potential it has and it does have a lot of quality to life changes other Storm games don’t have, but the negatives this game has are definitely still a problem not as much as it did at launch but in 3 months it will be a year since this game released and these problems should’ve been addressed by now.
If they make a new game from the ground up I think there would be immense hope for that game. Most of the issues we have is they keep making a "new game" over the old storm games. I agree with you never say never. The game was definitely rushed sadly. I enjoyed the game before the patches once I learned how to play it and I enjoyed it after the first patch. This last patch makes it so your button configuration gets changed at the start up of a game and there is more lag than ever even though they claimed they fixed online stability when it's clear they made it worse. There are some good quality of life changes I agree with that. I'm hoping the game gets better in the next patch but honestly too much damage is done for me to think positively of this game.
I respect your opinion. This game is suffering from the storm curse: 1 step forward and 2 steps backward. It’s like one good thing comes with a patch, and two bad things also come with it. The balance patches for these characters are good, but they just make another character on the roster broken, and it’s becoming a messy cycle. For example, they nerfed Madara’s support, and now it takes almost 20 seconds to come back, but a support like Hidan's, which is way stronger, only comes back in like 6 seconds. This is what I mean by them halfway listening to our feedback; they’re not fully paying attention to the game. If they had play testers who would go online and experience what we experience every day, they would see themselves, or better yet, I wish they would just reach out into the community and talk to pros because there are a lot of passionate pros out here who would make Google documents for CC2 telling them what’s wrong with this game in a non-bias manner, and they’re not even hard to find since there’s been plenty of popular tournaments for this game like globku’s and dreamcon, and it’s the same pros winning them. If Bandai can reach out to Globku and Afro to do a promotional video on the Sage of Six Paths DLC, they can easily reach out to more people in the community. I like how you also mentioned the button glitch and lag. That glitch is dumb, and it’s sad that it’s never going to be fixed until September, which is another problem with the game (lack of updates). This game is so laggy, it’s hard to even explain it to people who don’t understand lag advantage. I will say the netcode is better on this game, but the lag still ruins the gameplay. What’s funny is, older storm games like Storm 2 feel so much better, and I feel almost no lag, and people will argue, saying it’s because there’s no one on the servers playing that game, but coming from someone who is a PC connections player, where my player base is only about 190-200 people, I will agree that PC connections does feel better than console, like people say, but it is still nowhere close to the older storm games when it comes to lag. I’m genuinely confused about how CC2 goes backwards with all these things. As horrible as these things are, it’s still a storm at the end of the day, which makes it bearable for me. There’s no reason for me to play the old Storm games because they're the same old, and I’m tired of playing the same play styles and characters in games like Storm 4. At least for this game, the roster is viable, making every character and team feel brand new; there’s updates and new characters coming not as fast as I want them to be, but at least we’re getting them; there’s many play styles and a new meta; even though it might not be fun at times, it’s competitively challenging, which I can find thrilling in that; and it has the newest ranked mode/leaderboard. The best thing to do when you get sick of this game is take long breaks, maybe a week or two, and play custom matches with friends or great sportsmanship showing players you meet in ranked. Most of my recent time in this game has been in custom matches, and I’ve been enjoying myself lately.
I knew for a fact the game would be trash once i saw they gave every character infinite blockstrings and combos that dont require chakra dashes and ultimate cancels without having to step combo cancel
I actually enjoyed storm connections story mode as something refreshing and new to story. They still have potential to make a Kara arc dlc story like they did with road to Boruto game.
How people are so blind? Games are coming out half baked, they always count on the post production resolution, and always count on future dlc patches. They never put 100% effort on releasing a polish game. They count on the Cyberpunk treatment, but nobody at that point in time would play the game. Talking in general btw 😅
I agree with everything you said and I don't have a good answer to why people accept and are okay with half baked games that are unfinished and bad on release.
Really hope the next patch returns grounded kunai, and actually FIX the issues that we had when the game was at a superior version... and still needed so many changes
I agree that the game was much better before. Just before the first patch and after the first patch I thought the game was great minus not having perfect online connection.
Please can we let the rage quit topic alone? We should be able to leave a match penalty free in the ready up screen. Storm assist needs to be greatly reduced. Every character needs to be able to cancel ninjutsu. Combo reach for all characters. No bonus for running (kunai dance) my software has closed atleast 20times in the past month. I recieved 1 penalty. If connection is low and my opponent is blocking all match, I WILL LEAVE THE LOBBY NO SHAME. 7 years of gameplay bs blocking waiting for ashura whos gonna come back 3xtimes and win because of lag? My agility with all my chracters are max but someone jumping to the side and dashing is the ULTIMATE interruption just so they can throw a refillable item rinse repeat is honestly cheap and trash.
I agree that you should be able to leave the game in the ready up screen. Storm assist has been greatly reduced from all past games if you reduce it more than it won't be in the game. I agree every character should be able to cancel their jutsu. The first hit priority of all characters has always been a problem in the storm games. The game crashes a lot sadly.
One of the many things that annoy me about the Storm community is how they don't understand the difference between complaining and criticism. It's crazy...lol
If you don't critique something it won't improve. If they had done a decent or good job I wouldn't say anything but they completely bombed and ruined an over decade long franchise for no good reason. I really wanted the best for the games and for the fans.
@@DontLoseToFear Yup. I feel like some just can't accept the fact the game is a mess. And I bet they give it a pass cause they believe they are great at it. Too many delusions for that not to be true.
If I could just search single matches I would be ok. I did not expect that after all the other games that had single battles online for search that they would not put it in this game. Yes they have it endless/ custom matches but no one plays it. I have looked passed all the crap they have put in the game since after storm 3 and this one just ended it for me.
For me Naruto Storm Connections it doesn’t feels like a new Storm game at all, they changed only a few buttons commands and nothing more, the fact that they removed Tilts and they put the tilts moves on the second jutsus it's pretty lame, disappointing and lackluster, not to mention that they removed the jutsus selection completely from the beginning of the fight. 🤦🏻♂️ This game feels more like an update DLC than like an actual New Storm Game. But honestly, for me Storm 1 will remain the most Unique one from the series and the closest to the anime itself because of the very dynamic gameplay features, my reasons: Intro of characters before the encounter, unique jutsus that didn't came back to the other Storm games, longer and diverse movesets for almost any character, Awakenings in Storm 1 have also Ultimate Jutsus, Jutsus Clashes and Wall Fighting... and I can go on and on to state it why Storm 1 gameplay was the most unique one from the Storm Series, just try to Imagine Storm 4 gameplay with Storm 1 gameplay features, In my opinion that will be the Perfect Storm game. The First Storm game has the most Unique gameplay features perspective and the particular presentation of the game was so ahead of it's time in my opinion, the only downside of the first Storm game was the very lacking Story Mode Interactions, and from Storm 3 the developers cut and shortned the movesets of characters, that's why I don't agree with their choices. (By the way, my favourite Storm games and I will put them in my personal order will be: 1.Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 1 and Generations. (these have my favourite vibe and charm of the anime itself because of the dynamic gameplay features) 2. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2( for the unique Story and some Unique Boss Battles and let's not forget that Iconic "Calm Before the Storm" OST from the Characters Selection Screen and many more diverse soundtracks) 3. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst (Because of the more well-rounded diverse Story Perspective and very epic Boss Battles and also the soundtrack "Outside Konoha" and others soundtracks as well) 4. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 (mostly because of the unique option to change/switch between your characters team during the fight, this particular option mechanics should've been already in the game from the very first Storm game in my opinion) 5. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution (because of the abused and annoying Counter mechanic) 🤷🏻♂️
I just bought the game and i used to play all Storm games and specialy Storm 3/4 and HOLY SHIT AM I DISGUSTED BY THE GAME. I would say im a pretty good Storm Gamer but what tf is this game? No tilt attack + no chakra shuriken??? and they turned the chakra shuriken into a " tilt " attack?? Like wtf... I jumped into my first ranked game just to realize, that people recieve chakra from nowhere and just spam BS on you. Nah bruh, this game is pure garbage lmao.
There is good reason on earth for them taking out the tilt and chakra shuirken. Everyone gets a second jutsu but it took more skill with a tilt and it was less spammy. There were certain tilts like Yugitos tilt that could get a bit of a nerf or balance but they just turned the game into a jutsu spam fest. There is a skilled way to play this game but why would anyone do that when all you have to do is spam jutsu and dash spam your opponent. This game is a dumbed down version of the past storm games that took more skill. Even storm 2 and gens took way more skill to play. Also DLC is pay to play and pay to win. Just use the new Boroshiki and its a gg you don't have to work for anything extra.
Try the automatic control method you will get a good laugh out of that. It actually helps people but for experienced players who know the controls it is crazy to see the AI play the game for you and what it decides to do.
@@DontLoseToFear sad to hear man.. might just go back to storm 4 and game it again , but i assume its dead. CC2 scks big time. They should have nerfed some tilts and thats it.
@@BrowneVisuals itself is call passion about something you love man. We all enjoy storm but dont like connections simple if connections was a good wouldn't see 90% of the community share similar sentiment either accept or avoid these videos.
@@Criticmasterz It came up on my feed. I get the passion but honestly CC2 have done a good job with this game, they take community feedback regularly, update the game and are doing their best. Sometimes it's better to be positive. These sort of videos just hurt the game and don't help it.
@BrowneVisuals Fair, but there's fair criticism with this game, and constructive criticism helps more than positive because it can turn toxic and someone can do no wrong. One is attached to a new game, and quote connections servers are abysmal. Inputs don't match up online at launch, although improved lacked any features from other storms. Gens and rev had more online features at launch than connections. Yes, connections have 2nd jutsu, and rebound is cool. Imo removing tilts, and Chakra kunais strip the identity away. And again the games updates are cool but doesn't resolve the declining player count so there's bigger things that needs to addressed.
Most of what y’all are complaining are day 1 problems that you admit they fixed, talking about storm 2 and storm 4 problems. They drop patches and content all the time and actively respond to fans on Twitter. I could name several fixes the game needs but yall didn’t bring up any of them and just complained about the past.
Just because they implemented leaver penalties doesn't mean the fixed the leaver / disconnections / rage quite problem in Storm games. The game now kicks you out of the match and gives you a disconnection penalty and your buttons can be changed or deleted in any game randomly. Many people have reported not being able to use jutsu or chakra at all for any action. Giving the fans what they want is not really the best way to balance their games. Ashura jutsu has been broken since day 1 and they still haven't fixed it 2 patches later. They tend to fix one thing then break 1 or 2 things at the same time. The game was most competitive between release date and end of patch 1 now the game is super basic and boring. There are a lot less people playing now too. If the game was fixed and great wouldn't people come running back to the game? You can't even play online because the game has more lag than it has ever had before.
@@DontLoseToFear I litterally play it every night on ps5 im anbu general I don’t have any lag, biggest problem in the game is the player base. Weirdos who just run around with chakra gods shooting nuclear bombs and jumping up and down throwing ninja slips. They’ve given us the ingredients for a great fighting game but people just spam instead. Having 2 jutsu instead of 1 already makes it twice as deep as any previous storm game and they’ve been great about communication, if they give yall what you want you complain, if they don’t you complain even more, maybe consider a game needs new people coming into the game if you want them to spend money making it better, and yall would do well as influencers to promote the game if you want people to play it instead of making a video called “storm connections sucks” and then just complaining about a messy launch and why they didn’t have the features they have now in storm 4.
@@shaneawesome456 The game had more depth with a jutsu and or an enhanced jutsu while being able to pick your jutsu (lots of added strategy and depth there) with a tilt. This made it so you couldn't just spam jutsu and do only jutsu entries which most people do. Most people who play this game at a competitive level use support jutsu or main jutsu and then go from there. In past games you could break things up with a tilt that wasn't guaranteed in most casses and that didn't have the same priority level as a jutsu. Chakra shuriken was good for mix ups as well now you have less mix ups and options in the game. The games depth is way lower than any other storm game ever made.
@@shaneawesome456 You're lucky that your input doesn't lag because they're complaints from the community which is 90% say that p2p dont connect or make true fights because inputs are being consumed or subs aren't when ppl are legitimately pressing that button on that exact frame and time. We need either rollback or dedicated servers. Comp players are complaining of lack def options. And the game isn't bad but it's not good enough to match gens rev s4 s3 or even s2. Please research rollback netcode and games like guilty gear strive and more to see true fights.
The only thing that ruined this game was removing tilt and replacing chakra shuriken in place of it. Probably they did it for the losers who were bad at the game but just like every game that does that it's become a spam fest with no skill. I used to pride storm 4 as being the best 3d fighter next to tenkaichi 3. Storm 4 was solid although it suffered with shit servers and I'll admit 30fps on ps4 was wack why I'm glad most of my matches with friends were local on my pc eventually
The first thing I said about connections just before it came out was that they made a big mistake taking chakra shurikens out of the game. Taking tilt out of the game was an even bigger mistake. That was about 10 months ago I said that and made a video on it. It's interesting to hear you say that now since another person in the comment section said that Connections is the best storm game because there are 2 jutsu so you have twice the depth. I found that statement to be crazy since all they did was remove tilt and put it in the jtusu spot and made options way more spammable leading to the jutsu spam that we had with armor on release date. Jutsu is still the mainly only viable option for entry you're just not guaranteed it now. The entire thing is a mess and it is all connected together effecting each other.
Another thing is that I heard that marketing and support, like addressing issues, etc., for this game are all run by Bandai. Bandai is only showing love to the DB games, which is understandable since they pull in the most money, but Bandai doesn’t allow any other anime IP to be successful like DB because they put half effort into them.

Unless we start boycotting Bandai, we’re never going to get good anime games.

At least for this game, the roster is viable, making every character and team feel brand new; there’s updates and new characters coming not as fast as I want them to be, but at least we’re getting them; there’s many play styles and a new meta; even though it might not be fun at times, it’s competitively challenging, which I can find thrilling in that; and it has the newest ranked mode/leaderboard. The best thing to do when you get sick of this game is take long breaks, maybe a week or two, and play custom matches with friends or great sportsmanship showing players you meet in ranked. Most of my recent time in this game has been in custom matches, and I’ve been enjoying myself lately.
Onlything better in this game than storm 4 is the round system. Everything else is a disaster.
I knew for a fact the game would be trash once i saw they gave every character infinite blockstrings and combos that dont require chakra dashes and ultimate cancels without having to step combo cancel
I actually enjoyed storm connections story mode as something refreshing and new to story. They still have potential to make a Kara arc dlc story like they did with road to Boruto game.
A Kara arc would be amazing!
I was top 80 in ranked at one point but i had to stop playing this game there’s just too many problems
Ranked 80 is amazing! Yep I agree there are too many problems and I don't know why for sure
How people are so blind? Games are coming out half baked, they always count on the post production resolution, and always count on future dlc patches. They never put 100% effort on releasing a polish game. They count on the Cyberpunk treatment, but nobody at that point in time would play the game. Talking in general btw 😅
I agree with everything you said and I don't have a good answer to why people accept and are okay with half baked games that are unfinished and bad on release.
Really hope the next patch returns grounded kunai, and actually FIX the issues that we had when the game was at a superior version... and still needed so many changes
Probably not mate too much work 😂
How about no with the kunai restand and get good. Dumb mechanic makes no sense. There are justu restands still, utilize those. Smh
I agree that the game was much better before. Just before the first patch and after the first patch I thought the game was great minus not having perfect online connection.
Public tournament mode tf goin on storm!
Please can we let the rage quit topic alone? We should be able to leave a match penalty free in the ready up screen. Storm assist needs to be greatly reduced. Every character needs to be able to cancel ninjutsu. Combo reach for all characters. No bonus for running (kunai dance) my software has closed atleast 20times in the past month. I recieved 1 penalty. If connection is low and my opponent is blocking all match, I WILL LEAVE THE LOBBY NO SHAME. 7 years of gameplay bs blocking waiting for ashura whos gonna come back 3xtimes and win because of lag? My agility with all my chracters are max but someone jumping to the side and dashing is the ULTIMATE interruption just so they can throw a refillable item rinse repeat is honestly cheap and trash.
Connections is just disappointing
I agree that you should be able to leave the game in the ready up screen. Storm assist has been greatly reduced from all past games if you reduce it more than it won't be in the game. I agree every character should be able to cancel their jutsu. The first hit priority of all characters has always been a problem in the storm games. The game crashes a lot sadly.
One of the many things that annoy me about the Storm community is how they don't understand the difference between complaining and criticism. It's crazy...lol
If you don't critique something it won't improve. If they had done a decent or good job I wouldn't say anything but they completely bombed and ruined an over decade long franchise for no good reason. I really wanted the best for the games and for the fans.
@@DontLoseToFear Yup. I feel like some just can't accept the fact the game is a mess. And I bet they give it a pass cause they believe they are great at it. Too many delusions for that not to be true.
This game is super shit
If I could just search single matches I would be ok. I did not expect that after all the other games that had single battles online for search that they would not put it in this game. Yes they have it endless/ custom matches but no one plays it. I have looked passed all the crap they have put in the game since after storm 3 and this one just ended it for me.
I have had thousands of games in singles before someone says it was dead.
For me Naruto Storm Connections it doesn’t feels like a new Storm game at all, they changed only a few buttons commands and nothing more, the fact that they removed Tilts and they put the tilts moves on the second jutsus it's pretty lame, disappointing and lackluster, not to mention that they removed the jutsus selection completely from the beginning of the fight. 🤦🏻♂️ This game feels more like an update DLC than like an actual New Storm Game. But honestly, for me Storm 1 will remain the most Unique one from the series and the closest to the anime itself because of the very dynamic gameplay features, my reasons: Intro of characters before the encounter, unique jutsus that didn't came back to the other Storm games, longer and diverse movesets for almost any character, Awakenings in Storm 1 have also Ultimate Jutsus, Jutsus Clashes and Wall Fighting... and I can go on and on to state it why Storm 1 gameplay was the most unique one from the Storm Series, just try to Imagine Storm 4 gameplay with Storm 1 gameplay features, In my opinion that will be the Perfect Storm game. The First Storm game has the most Unique gameplay features perspective and the particular presentation of the game was so ahead of it's time in my opinion, the only downside of the first Storm game was the very lacking Story Mode Interactions, and from Storm 3 the developers cut and shortned the movesets of characters, that's why I don't agree with their choices. (By the way, my favourite Storm games and I will put them in my personal order will be: 1.Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 1 and Generations. (these have my favourite vibe and charm of the anime itself because of the dynamic gameplay features)
2. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2( for the unique Story and some Unique Boss Battles and let's not forget that Iconic "Calm Before the Storm" OST from the Characters Selection Screen and many more diverse soundtracks)
3. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst (Because of the more well-rounded diverse Story Perspective and very epic Boss Battles and also the soundtrack "Outside Konoha" and others soundtracks as well)
4. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 (mostly because of the unique option to change/switch between your characters team during the fight, this particular option mechanics should've been already in the game from the very first Storm game in my opinion)
5. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution (because of the abused and annoying Counter mechanic) 🤷🏻♂️
So true.
I just bought the game and i used to play all Storm games and specialy Storm 3/4 and HOLY SHIT AM I DISGUSTED BY THE GAME. I would say im a pretty good Storm Gamer but what tf is this game? No tilt attack + no chakra shuriken??? and they turned the chakra shuriken into a " tilt " attack?? Like wtf... I jumped into my first ranked game just to realize, that people recieve chakra from nowhere and just spam BS on you. Nah bruh, this game is pure garbage lmao.
There is good reason on earth for them taking out the tilt and chakra shuirken. Everyone gets a second jutsu but it took more skill with a tilt and it was less spammy. There were certain tilts like Yugitos tilt that could get a bit of a nerf or balance but they just turned the game into a jutsu spam fest. There is a skilled way to play this game but why would anyone do that when all you have to do is spam jutsu and dash spam your opponent. This game is a dumbed down version of the past storm games that took more skill. Even storm 2 and gens took way more skill to play. Also DLC is pay to play and pay to win. Just use the new Boroshiki and its a gg you don't have to work for anything extra.
Try the automatic control method you will get a good laugh out of that. It actually helps people but for experienced players who know the controls it is crazy to see the AI play the game for you and what it decides to do.
@@DontLoseToFear sad to hear man.. might just go back to storm 4 and game it again , but i assume its dead. CC2 scks big time. They should have nerfed some tilts and thats it.
I'm tired of people complaining, don't play the game if you don't like it. Simple.
@@BrowneVisuals itself is call passion about something you love man. We all enjoy storm but dont like connections simple if connections was a good wouldn't see 90% of the community share similar sentiment either accept or avoid these videos.
@@Criticmasterz It came up on my feed. I get the passion but honestly CC2 have done a good job with this game, they take community feedback regularly, update the game and are doing their best. Sometimes it's better to be positive. These sort of videos just hurt the game and don't help it.
@BrowneVisuals Fair, but there's fair criticism with this game, and constructive criticism helps more than positive because it can turn toxic and someone can do no wrong. One is attached to a new game, and quote connections servers are abysmal. Inputs don't match up online at launch, although improved lacked any features from other storms. Gens and rev had more online features at launch than connections. Yes, connections have 2nd jutsu, and rebound is cool. Imo removing tilts, and Chakra kunais strip the identity away. And again the games updates are cool but doesn't resolve the declining player count so there's bigger things that needs to addressed.
Paypig
Criticism is different from complaining.
Most of what y’all are complaining are day 1 problems that you admit they fixed, talking about storm 2 and storm 4 problems. They drop patches and content all the time and actively respond to fans on Twitter. I could name several fixes the game needs but yall didn’t bring up any of them and just complained about the past.
Just because they implemented leaver penalties doesn't mean the fixed the leaver / disconnections / rage quite problem in Storm games. The game now kicks you out of the match and gives you a disconnection penalty and your buttons can be changed or deleted in any game randomly. Many people have reported not being able to use jutsu or chakra at all for any action. Giving the fans what they want is not really the best way to balance their games. Ashura jutsu has been broken since day 1 and they still haven't fixed it 2 patches later. They tend to fix one thing then break 1 or 2 things at the same time. The game was most competitive between release date and end of patch 1 now the game is super basic and boring. There are a lot less people playing now too. If the game was fixed and great wouldn't people come running back to the game? You can't even play online because the game has more lag than it has ever had before.
@@DontLoseToFear I litterally play it every night on ps5 im anbu general I don’t have any lag, biggest problem in the game is the player base. Weirdos who just run around with chakra gods shooting nuclear bombs and jumping up and down throwing ninja slips. They’ve given us the ingredients for a great fighting game but people just spam instead. Having 2 jutsu instead of 1 already makes it twice as deep as any previous storm game and they’ve been great about communication, if they give yall what you want you complain, if they don’t you complain even more, maybe consider a game needs new people coming into the game if you want them to spend money making it better, and yall would do well as influencers to promote the game if you want people to play it instead of making a video called “storm connections sucks” and then just complaining about a messy launch and why they didn’t have the features they have now in storm 4.
@@shaneawesome456 The game had more depth with a jutsu and or an enhanced jutsu while being able to pick your jutsu (lots of added strategy and depth there) with a tilt. This made it so you couldn't just spam jutsu and do only jutsu entries which most people do. Most people who play this game at a competitive level use support jutsu or main jutsu and then go from there. In past games you could break things up with a tilt that wasn't guaranteed in most casses and that didn't have the same priority level as a jutsu. Chakra shuriken was good for mix ups as well now you have less mix ups and options in the game. The games depth is way lower than any other storm game ever made.
@@shaneawesome456 You're lucky that your input doesn't lag because they're complaints from the community which is 90% say that p2p dont connect or make true fights because inputs are being consumed or subs aren't when ppl are legitimately pressing that button on that exact frame and time. We need either rollback or dedicated servers. Comp players are complaining of lack def options. And the game isn't bad but it's not good enough to match gens rev s4 s3 or even s2. Please research rollback netcode and games like guilty gear strive and more to see true fights.
the game mid
It's worse than mid it has become basic
The only thing that ruined this game was removing tilt and replacing chakra shuriken in place of it. Probably they did it for the losers who were bad at the game but just like every game that does that it's become a spam fest with no skill. I used to pride storm 4 as being the best 3d fighter next to tenkaichi 3. Storm 4 was solid although it suffered with shit servers and I'll admit 30fps on ps4 was wack why I'm glad most of my matches with friends were local on my pc eventually
The first thing I said about connections just before it came out was that they made a big mistake taking chakra shurikens out of the game. Taking tilt out of the game was an even bigger mistake. That was about 10 months ago I said that and made a video on it. It's interesting to hear you say that now since another person in the comment section said that Connections is the best storm game because there are 2 jutsu so you have twice the depth. I found that statement to be crazy since all they did was remove tilt and put it in the jtusu spot and made options way more spammable leading to the jutsu spam that we had with armor on release date. Jutsu is still the mainly only viable option for entry you're just not guaranteed it now. The entire thing is a mess and it is all connected together effecting each other.
