Maintained Defense Jutsus

[mankar89]

Hey everyone. I love the demo of this game and got struck by an idea. What if the defense jutsus could be held and maintained like the fire breath jutsu? For example, the Earth Dome Jutsu could be held either as a defense or a trap and chip away at the user's chakra like the fire breath does. Maybe the user can't move while maintaining the jutsu to balance it out, and then when the maintain ends, it goes through its normal duration and goes away.

Just a thought. :-)

Earth dome is already kinda op as it is.

I can bearly catch someone in that fricking thing

     Earth Dome would be far more OP if it were smaller, making it harder to miss the target while trying to roast them from the outside.

     Anyway, Mankar, thanks for noting that it's a demo (too many people seem to forget), but do remember that that's all it is right now. As for future versions of the game, I think we'll probably see something like that, yeah - defencive jutsu that can be used (perhaps not as effectively as offencive specialists, in this regard) as counter-moves to help pile some extra pressure onto the opponents.

     I think the ultimate question that remains here would be: "What types of executions will the various jutsu have?" Of course, that's kind of unanswerable right now, but it'll probably play one of the largest factors in determining the fun/balance ratio. Well, alongside Squad Dynamics v. Dueling Dynamics.

Sjones you just don't know how!!
But what would make it better is the targeting image be a half formed dome and let the scroll wheel move the quick rise side of the dome around the x axis!!

I just jump out when players use it on me, it's really easy to escape is what am saying

Not if you do it right. The fast side of the dome pops up faster then you can jump. You have to catch the person running at the fast side of the dome. But as it is now you can only do this when there running in your direction. Being able to adjust the direction the fast side of the dome pops up on would let you catch people no matter what direction there running.

Just an observation I have made!!
