you are talking ninjutsu 2 natures thats all fine.  but after you do that you deside to train in  taijutsu where is the cap on that and genjustun has no natures so you can master it too and kenjustu got to max that out till you are so op that you can fart on a genien and he dies. but then your tired of being low on health after a fight so you learn medical ninjutsu .....no natures there..... lets max it till you have mastered every kind of jutsu there is.....you see how this can become a problem  players can loose there characters pertinently.( as a side thought is there an idea out there yet about if a player hangs out in a kill zone and kills more then 3 people in a row that there put in every villages
bingo book....and if your name is in the bingo book then you can be killed anywhere in the game
even villages !!!!!!! )

so then every one knows the chakra nature circle then rigth

                                                              so in genral most peaple are strong in some jutsu                             
          week          -fire-          strong        and week in some justu. should this be in game(theres   
                       -             -                        exceptions to every rule.......... dame ucheha)
               water                wind                      jutsu        can use                    week
                    -                   -                genjutsu            ninjustu                  taijutsu and kenjutsu
                      -              -                   ninjutsu        taijutsu kenjutsu           genjutsu
                   earth -   - lightning                               taijutsu genjutsu           kenjutsu
                                                          taijutsu     kenjutsu ninjutsu(maybe)  genjustu
                                                         kenjustu              all                    but   ninjustu


if this is implemented would it force people to teem up with people to fill the gaps in team skills??

can we consider puting easter eggs in that you would only be able to get with a full teem skillset?

 Personally I think using different keystrokes to symbolize hand signs is a stroke of genius !!!

 That being said getting back to the user interface

Are  character menus going to be laid out in categories

Equipment
Kenjutsu
Taijustu
Ninjutsu
Genjutsu
 Items
Team
 Missions

Or

Will you only get Like 2 or 3 jutsu types... Like Taijustu ninjutsu and kenjutsu but no genjutsu??? What are your thoughts??

there is a problem with targeting too!!!!! first i would set the tab button for scrolling throw opponents within 10-20 feet in the screen in front of you. i would suggest that there should be like a taijutsu stance(T)...button that locks the opponent in the center screen and fallows his movement so if he moves behind you some how with a flash step or the like the camera fallows him. if he moves out of the targeting range of 10 -20 feet before you hit the taijutsu button you lose target and have to get closer.

as far as the the suggestions so far i like the idea of custamizing combos but left click is to easy
J=jab
K=kick
L=sweep
is good
;=but you should have a counter that can be added in to a combo with this button lay out

with the camera lock this opens up the option to ad power using the direction buttons in combinations ---- like d+j= hard punch
at any time ether player can hit A twice(AA) to exit the camera lock
combos can be learned and unlock but must be in you inventory and practiced to gain power and
effectiveness... i would also like to see eventually  some place you can create your own combo
by using moves you already have learned in different combinations but that would be much latter

i know this is starting to look like a D.O.A. combo book but when i think taijutsu thats what i imagine..the same stance option may be able to be applied to kenjutsu
lol.....soul caliber

the thing with genjutsu is it should be hard to brake... sense it cant do any real damage...and requires a moderate to large amount of chakra... also i saw a post earler last year about this topic and i agreed with m4r1us that any damage genjutse dose should be to the amount of chakra the opponent can use... and if the chakra resurve reaches low anuph levels then health should quickly decrees... as it represents everything that makes up your life (mind and body) witch by the way is why kakashi was hospitalized
he spent to much time under the genjutsu and his chakra was depleted.

any high level jutsu should come with major risks... no op  jutsu

in the short term slightly different animations of fighting styles for each starting village should be applied so that throw careful observation you might be able to figure out what jutsu thay use....
and there for what the best counter would be also there is no current tijutsu macanichs int the curent version... a simple punch and kick should be added soon..

yeah i just saw this and thought i would chime in.... i found the villages and ideas planed for starting characters so i have a better idea now of the  game plan.. i like what i see and am real eager to see how it develops but adding a bass stat for all new characters with emphasis on  one of 3 characteristics i.e. physical, spiritual energies or intelligence would help to some one new the the concept but not new to mmorpgs figure out what role in a teem battle they would most likley play
