Character Confirmation Check
Where are we seeing Sasuke and Itachi confirmed? The S (talk) 13:34, June 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know why people started adding a pile of characters who might not even be in the game. :/ --Speysider Talk Page 15:20, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

So the support characters are playable? (Rias Gremory (talk) 00:05, February 28, 2013 (UTC))

Naruto road to ninja??
from where the hell do you add info that isnt even confirmed?? --EzioLover (talk) 17:29, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

It has been confirmed by CC2 for Japan/Europe, it hasn't been confirmed in America yet. As far as we know the only costume America gets is the Goku. Crunchyroll.com has a news report on it. --184.7.44.241 (talk) 02:10, February 20, 2013 (UTC)Annon

Why the characters on the cape can't be placed on confirmed characters?
Many characters are seen on the cape but they are not placed in the list of confirmed characters, why this? --MaskedManMadara (talk) 22:48, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

because they can be support/animation only and not playable characters. 189.100.0.115 (talk) 02:03, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. --MaskedManMadara (talk) 18:36, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Ino-Shika-Cho
Need we add they are support characters, because in the trailer of Third Hokage and Kurama's Boss Battle they are seen helping him to defeat the Fox. --MaskedManMadara (talk) 22:45, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

that may be boss battle only just like kurama, urama isn't gonna be support i know that much --68.247.34.82 (talk) 18:10, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Confirmed Stages

Character Debuts
This is basically a general video game question. Can there be a section for characters making their debut in video games on the actual video game page instead of having to look up each individual character to see where they first appeared? It would be much more simplistic. There's already one for jutsu and tools, why not the actual characters? --Uchiha Suraku (talk) 22:02, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

Characters confirmed
Mifune, Edo Tensei Hanzō and Hokage Naruto has been confirmed HorizonStriker (talk) 09:42, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

Mifune and Hanzo scan
A mifune and Hanzo scan was recently shown, so Mifune and Hanzo are confirmed. Also, on the scan it showed a Hokage Naruto, so he's also confirmed. --Kakashiofthemangakyo (talk) 10:48, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

Unnecessary Lock
The page has been reverted to remove characters that were recently confirmed, and then locked. What logic drove this unnecessary move? The S (talk) 19:01, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * To stop a revert war about the confirmed characters. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 19:21, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * The game is not released and just because Saiyan Island says something doesn't make it true. People were adding god knows what characters that nobody knew if it was in the game or not, so the page has been protected. If you don't like this move, then blame the people who kept ignoring the notice I placed to stop people adding characters to the page. --Speysider Talk Page 19:30, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * In the first post, they said it was a rumour, and made that very clear, but now, they even showed a scan of a magazine, containing those characters. When they themselves said it was a rumour, that is why the page was protected, because even though it was a rumour, people were adding it like it was confirmed. Now, it's actually confirmed. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:54, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Turns out it's just a case of me not reading dates right. Sorry! The S (talk) 22:35, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

more stages confirmed
in the backround of the scan for hokage naruto mifune and hanzo on narutos side you can see the stage is orichimarus hideout destroyed. and hanzo and mifune are fighting in the forest of quiet movement day time. shoulnd't those be added? --Naruto generations (talk) 12:41, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Game cover pictures
I found the game cover pictures on amazon which can be used to the page. Which one is better for the page? The PS3 cover or the 360 cover? HorizonStriker (talk) 19:34, August 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Neither because they don't have a rationale. Even if they are added, it has a watermark that states the image may change. The one that's there is fine imo. --Speysider Talk Page 19:40, August 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * On top of that it seems pretty fake in my view. - White Flash - (Talk) - 20:39, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

Debut
Can someone add the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style and all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in the debut section?? --EzioLover (talk) 08:24, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Games don't have debut sections for characters like anime episodes or manga chapters have. I'm rather confused by game debuts for Four Symbols Seal and Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. Some game must have at least mentioned them? Anyway, I'll add them, since in the trailer we can see Naruto undoing it to battle Kurama.

Limited editions
I really don't think it's necessary to have different articles for those. Add a section this article explaining what each gets over the basic one and be done with them. Anyone else? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:05, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

But its a game.--Droidkaju (talk) 23:11, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

It's a fancy name for UNS3 with a different package and a few extras. The game in the disc is the same. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:17, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

Then why would they make the same game in a different case?--Droidkaju (talk) 00:28, October 30, 2012 (UTC)

Because they want to make money on promotional versions. They're doing what the Pokémon franchise has been doing for years, but instead of changing things in the game itself, they simply added a few extra toys, like the figurine and the poster. Maybe the code to download Goku costume counts as a change to the game, but that's just a different skin as far as we know. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:33, October 30, 2012 (UTC)

Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode
Apparently Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode will be in the game in some way, shape, or form, as some people found an icon for it on the Japanese website for the game that was removed shortly afterwards. See: http://www.saiyanisland.com/2012/12/tailed-beast-chakra-mode-level-2-naruto-in-storm-3/ 207.216.212.199 (talk) 08:30, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just played the demo. Tbm is confirmed. MangekyoSasuke (talk) 00:07, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * From the demo I watched, Tailed Beast Mode is an Ultimate Jutsu, not an Awakened Mode. Blackchaos27 (talk) 00:53, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Why we confirmed Shukaku?
he is just on the jinchuruki n' Biju's scan but as same as naruto he isn't on trailer and in any other picture that shows that he is a playble character, I think that we need to take him out of playble selection since we don't know if he is full playble or not. --MaskedManMadara (talk) 21:39, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

broken orochimaru hideout stage confirmed
in the backround of the scan for hokage naruto mifune and hanzo on narutos side you can see the stage is orichimarus hideout destroyed. and hanzo and mifune are fighting in the forest of quiet movement day time. shoulnd't those be added? --108.25.66.40 (talk) 01:00, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Online purchase
When do purchasers receive the online purchase? --Axel Carrozzo (talk) 01:18, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * If by online purchase you mean pre-order, Amazon has copies and Gamestop probably does as well. 207.216.212.199 (talk) 03:39, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

Probability of Madara Uchiha = 100%
Considering that Tailed Beast Mode Naruto is playable and that he activated that mode while fighting Madara and Obito, that means that Madara Uchiha will be present as at least a boss fight - likely against the Kages and possibly against Naruto, Kakashi, and Guy as well. Note: I'm not saying we should add him into the character list before his official confirmation, just that the revelation that TBM Naruto is playable means he'll be in the game as well. 207.216.212.199 (talk) 03:39, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

American Production
Is this game made in America, or Japan? Being released here first makes me wonder--The Eleventh Doctor (Trust me. I'm the Doctor.) 09:00, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

Madara???
In my opinion the new scan is fake by two reasons:

Gunbai: in the SWW the Gunbai used by Obito and Madara had tomoes colored purple and if Madara fights with Gunbai the game will reach to the final stages of the war what could be fine if the anime wasn't so slow and for all I've heard CC2 don't want to spoiler the things.

Menma: his picture is the same that is released in the promotions of the movie so it can be created by anyone with high level of knowledge with a PC program. MaskedManMadara (talk) 13:29, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * They gave Naruto his Tailed Beast Mode, and he unlocks that while fighting Madara and Obito in the final stages of the war. That indicates Madara will be in the game in some capacity. 207.216.212.199 (talk) 23:06, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Confirmed Characters
They show all the resurrected characters in this trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY8XLItB_-w&feature=youtu.be&t=9s%25EF%25BB%25BF

so you can confirm Third Raikage, Mu, and the second Mizukage. Pretty sure the next gy is the Fourth Kazekage but you cant really see him. All in all though, every other character that they show in that line up is pretty much Fully confirmed......this footage is confirmation of their existence in the game if nothing else.--68.50.237.172 (talk) 01:22, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Nope. That trailer only shows that they appear in the game. It shows nothing about them being playable. Those are very different things. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:24, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Region-Specific Pre-Order Costumes
The Road to Ninja Hinata and Sasuke, Samurai Naruto, ANBU Kakashi, and Swimsuit Sakura costumes are only available via pre-order in Japan, according to this siliconera article: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/01/21/naruto-shippuden-ultimate-ninja-shippuden-3s-six-bonus-costumes/ 207.216.212.199 (talk) 20:04, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

This gameplay footage (http://www.saiyanisland.com/2013/02/naruto-storm-3-new-jinchuriki-gameplay-videos/_) reveals Tailed Beast Mode is the Ultimate Jutsu for the version of Naruto with Kyuubi Chakra Mode as his Awakening, not a costume unto itself. 207.216.212.199 (talk) 18:19, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

 * On Kakuzu, there was a scan of him fighting in the Land of Lightning coast, he looked the same as he did in the manga. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:37, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but it was a story mode battle. Its probably the same as with 7 swordsmen and Kin/Gin; story mode only. Unless we see that form of Kakuzu in a vs mode scan, hes not playable.--RexGodwin (talk) 00:43, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Instant/Adversity Awakenings
CC2 has stated that characters will have either Instant Awakening or Adversity Awakening, but not both. (see: http://www.saiyanisland.com/2012/10/naruto-shippuden-ultimate-ninja-storm-3-awakening-types/ ) The page here is misleading in this regard, so I recommend it be reworded to clear up any confusion. I suggest something like changing "Other than the usual form of Awakening, renamed Adversity Awakening, the game introduces a new element called Instant Awakening where players can go into awakening mode at any point during the battle, even in the middle of a combo." to something along the lines of " Other than the usual form of Awakening, renamed Adversity Awakening, the game introduces a new element called Instant Awakening where certain characters can go into Awakening mode at any point during the battle, even in the middle of a combo." 207.216.213.8 (talk) 21:06, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Y'know... if you made an account (takes like less than 30 seconds of your time), you could make the change yourself. --ScruffyC (talk) 23:17, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Storm 3's Collectible Cards information
From Saiyanisland's latest article, it shows many information of some characters. For example, All Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist members are listed as jōnin (including 	Zabuza and Kisame), Also it's listed that Kabuto as Oto's jōnin not genin anymore. Should we add trivia for their articles? — Shakhmoot  (Talk) 22:39, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

I have seen this. I rather suggest adding the ranks to their infoboxes. After all, this is official information.--Axel Carrozzo (talk) 19:38, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

It's only official as game information, which isn't very Canon to begin with. Look it goes 1-Manga, 2-Anime (Anime made directly from Manga being moreso than Anime Only), 3-Games and Movies. That's the Canon food chain.71.71.58.231 (talk) 20:25, February 16, 2013 (UTC) Yomiko-chan

Kushina?
Kushina has been confirmed. However so far she has been confirmed in story mode and not vs mode. Do we add her with a "Playable in Story Mode" type affair? Sparxs77 (talk) 08:50, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

Not quite sure. It may be too early to add it, as more information that could confirm her being playable in vs mode may come out. I mean we only found this out in the last few days, there's still more to come.--Yomiko-chan (talk) 09:02, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

Does it really begin with the Kage Summit?
A new video illustrates that the game does not start off exactly from the Five Kage Summit! The fight between Tobi and Konan can be seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa2eAskgud0

FAIL. It does start from Five kage Summit Arc; the Konan Vs Tobi takes place muchhh later after that arc -___---RexGodwin (talk) 23:25, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

Danzō and Konan
Where Danzō and Konan were confirmed? --JoaoKrauss (talk) 02:40, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

The game is confirmed to have at least 80 characters. Each new instalment normally includes characters from the previous. Danzō and Konan both have been confirmed to be playable at least in story mode, in the most recent trailor.--Yomiko-chan (talk) 02:44, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Madara?
So when was Madara confirmed as playable? I see him on the list but i dont remember it actually being said he was playable, the closest thing I know of was that he was shown on the collectible cards (which doesnt say he is playable)

In-game images of him on the card using an Ultimate Jutsu counts I guess. --Questionaredude (talk) 02:01, February 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * He was also shown on scans of the backcover of the game itself, and I believe he has even been shown in some of the game-play videos, though I cannot confirm that for sure. His part in the game is also mentioned in the achievements. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 03:09, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * The actual back cover has been revealed... and he's not on it. Still, the cards evidently show his Ultimate Jutsu. 142.26.194.189 (talk) 19:46, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

I added madara on the list because he's playable and I know it from the achivements there is the achievement "uchiha vs five kage" and there is a picture on the achivement

PTS Characters
I don't think we shoud put PTS characters so quickly, because a lot of people think the pic is fake (including me). For myself, I even have some proof that is fake (3 IWA slots (non-support), but 4 confirmed IWA characters (Mu, Onoki, Roshi, Han)).--Omojuze (talk) 21:48, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I also noticed that, but that already was set wen they released the official. What makes me think thats fake             it's Naruto's icon, it's so diferent from the other they had released previosly, and it was using storm 2 icon. By the way if it's fake, than we can't been certain about the alive Akatsuki members, other PTS characters, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraya. --NewAger15 (talk) 00:01, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Will characters from Part 1 (the pre-timeskip characters) be in Naruto Storm 3? The story will focus on the ninja war, so characters who have appeared in Naruto Shippuden will make a come back. Part 1 exclusive characters will not make a return. There will, however, be a lot of new characters!

But he does some abilities that make him something to pay attention mostly physically splitting in two having White and Black Zetus separately has jutsus I mean does possess mostly Wood and Earth (and Water) Styles such as Parasite Clone (creating relicas of himself same w/ Black versions), Spore Technique, and Wood Release: Underground Roots Technique (since he inherited by none other than Hashirama [The First Hokage] of all greatest of ninjas) that are mostly offensive jutsus. I mean him and an 100,000 army of White Zetsus (maybe merge orginial into a more plant-like monster as Awakening Mode) that almost an albeit to Naruto's Shadow Clones, and he can disguise as an ninja by eating it's corpse and transforming as its previous owner without dictation from others other than Negative Emotions Sensing from Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode Naruto. I can all day talking about Zetsu though I'm not big fan of this character but it would interesting if he was in the game, nonetheless. Yeoddots(talk) 03:21, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

We do not know if He will ever be playable. Wait for scans.--Yomiko-chan (talk) 01:42, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Survey says...! No. Full roster is up. Not even as a side character. Questionaredude (talk) 02:23, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

@Yomiko-chan, I'll have to wait see til next confirmed scans; @Questionaredude, DAYUM DAYUM DAYUM!!!...*sigh*... ONE DAY ZETSU WILL AVAILABLE PLAYABLE IN A NARUTO GAME!!!!!! ONE DAY X[!!!!!! Yeoddots (talk) 02:46, February 27, 2013 (UTC)Yeoddots (talks)

Umm you guys do realise that there are still like 10 spaces at the bottom that are empty. Anyway, Icannot believe thatthe moment I decide to post a reply here and the scans come out. Wow I have horrible timing.--Yomiko-chan (talk) 03:41, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Edo Jins
http://www.saiyanisland.com/2013/02/naruto-storm-3-new-gameplay-screenshots/ in the video, Fu as a support has Rinnegan and Sharingan; so their Edo forms are available.--RexGodwin (talk) 20:06, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

So the support characters are playable? 108.32.12.90 (talk) 23:02, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Hiruzen Sarutobi Awaken moves
He has "new" move in awakening "Earth Style: Earth Soil Bullets." I'm not sure if it is the game version of Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall or not. --Questionaredude (talk) 06:21, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

PTS Trivia
Does anyone know for a FACT that's what he said? Seems more like a mistranslation gone bad, since I heard from somewhere that he actually said something along the lines of "Not all PTS Charaacters are playable..." --Questionaredude (talk) 06:25, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

Edo Kages
Then What happened to the Edo Kages?--Axel Carrozzo (talk) 12:54, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

They are in the game's coding, but they are not playable. Possible DLC like with Storm 1. --Questionaredude (talk) 16:14, February 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * is that true? agh! that sucks! but what happened to all the scans and the video where they were shown fighting and everything with the Mu's golem and Jokey Boy and everything?!?!?! they were false or what? D: so disappointed --Kiba91 (talk) 16:17, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

http://www.uk.namcobandaigames.eu/news/2013/03/11/naruto-shippuden-ultimate-ninja-storm-3-dlc-faq-and-customer-support/3407 They along with the 7 swordsmen and the Gold/Silver Brothers will not be playable. --Questionaredude (talk) 21:22, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Why are we listing Tobi and Obito as separate characters?
Masked Man, and both the Rinnegan Tobi and Akatsuki Tobi are separate characters, yet we list them as one character in the article. Why aren't we saying [Obito Uchiha, Child, Masked Man, Tobi, Rinnegan/Sharingan Mode] or something? I know in the context of the game his identity isn't revealed so if that's the reason then I can understand that. --M4ND0N (talk) 05:04, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

I think that's exactly why. --Questionaredude (talk) 05:18, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

What chapter will the game finish at ?
What chapter will the game finish at ? --Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 19:37, March 4, 2013 (UTC)ū
 * First page of 573 and bits of 574. The game makes a non-canon ending since the war is still on-going. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 20:18, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

How come its allowed to go that far considering that the animation hasent even been made of that ? --Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 20:24, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's a game so it doesn't matter. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 20:28, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

It has elements from chapters as far as 598 but stops at 572.Umishiru (talk) 20:32, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

Edo Sasori
Can someone please remove Edo Sasori from the playable character list? hes not a playable character. >_<--RexGodwin (talk) 07:13, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm playing the game. He is playable. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 19:04, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not saying your lying; but I've literally haven't seen a single piece of evidence to suggest he's a playable character in versus mode: the game is officially out today; but many people have gotten it early last week and there exist videos of Vs mode matches for every other character; I have yet to see the maroon cloaked Edo Tensei'd Sasori as a playable character anywhere. Could you you be so kind as to upload a picture of him in a free mode battle? Or some sort of proof?166.137.156.163 (talk) 19:57, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Junk Trivia
"While wearing the Goku costume, Naruto's Rasengan and Sage Art: Many Ultra-Big Ball Spiralling Serial Spheres techniques are used in a similar matter to the Kamehameha and Father-Son Kamehameha respectively." What does this have to do with Naruto ? Please remove it. --Speysider Talk Page 18:52, March 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * Its not junk trvia, and it is relevant to the game. It stays. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 18:55, March 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * Even though two of the words link to the dragon ball wikia ? I don't see how two techniques that have similarities to another anime is completely relevant here but whatever. --Speysider Talk Page 18:56, March 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * They're relevant because Naruto uses techniques that are taken directly from those techniques while wearing Goku's outfit. Again. They stay. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 19:05, March 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * The last part about Sage Art: Many Ultra-Big Ball Spiralling Serial Spheres and Father-Son Kamehameha is not entirely valid. This extends to the Samurai DLC Costume as well. http://youtu.be/3S04B80wkGk?t=1m --Questionaredude (talk) 22:27, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

I don't know why the NSUNS3's article is locked but the one who is in charge: can we add this trivia? "In the last trailer, Madara Uchiha was described (by mistake) as the Founder of the Uchiha Clan" Here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mx8KAngVSQ0 Dragon NJMB (talk) 19:47, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Kishimoto-sensei's Comment on the game
Should we put Kishimoto-sensei's comments on the game somewhere in the article? He said, "This is really exciting! The story mode in this game is extremely abundant in volume… and it seems like you can use all of the Jinchuriki in the battle mode!! Also, the video quality, animation and even all the fine details that have been put into the game look really great… Absolutely amazing!! The author shouldn’t be saying this, but this is more exciting than the manga! I can’t wait… seriously!". Here is a link to SaiyanIsland where I had found this- --Yomiko-chan (talk) 01:37, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * He's made a lot of comments about Naruto games and movies so it isn't something that should be noted. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 04:07, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Page lock
Why is the page still locked? The game is out and there are tons of gameplay and walkthroughs released so it's less likely there is going to be anymore edit warrings. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 16:45, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * No more locked.~ Ultimate  Supreme  08:19, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

additional info
shouldnt it be listed on here somewhere about the second tsuchikage, 3rd raikage, and 3rd kazekage, and 3rd mizukage are fightable in game but can not be played as.
 * Them not being playable is already mentioned by them not being listed as playable characters. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:46, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

aw true, but my point was more of a "they appear in the game as opponents but are not playable".

False and unneeded info
This is getting crazy with these kind of edits here. Most are from actual users. Controversy and that trivia point about the Part I characters? Really? And those curious about the comment of my recent edit on this page, I meant to put "If I remember correctly, bosses have more than two health bars". --OmegaRasengan (talk) 06:19, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Here is the original link to the Hiroshi Matsuyama interview in July 2012. If someone can read fluent French and translate the part about the Generations characters, we can figure this out once and for all. http://gaara-fr.com/?page=lecture&article=1192 --Questionaredude (talk) 21:54, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not exactly fluent, but I did study French in high school. As far as I can see they don't really say anything about UNSG characters in the sense of who's playable and who's not, they talk about character system change. There's something there which I think is about the instant awakenings instead of having to receive damage. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:15, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Again, why the "Controversy" section? Like I said when I removed it before, fans get pissed about something all the time so unless they do something drastic, it isn't necessary to note. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 05:49, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

DLC Section
We know for a fact that there will be many more DLC stuff coming. The Character list will become cramped soon, so I suggest a DLC Section for all current and upcoming DLC. Unfortunitly (a word I can't spell to save my life), it would look bare if I did it myself, so I'm just throwing the suggestion out there. --Questionaredude (talk) 14:37, March 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree with creating such section. I just hope that people don't keep re-adding the DLC costumes to the playable character template should this split actually occur. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:19, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Is the spacing necessary? The bullet style doesn't flow with the rest of the page in my opinion. --Questionaredude (talk) 20:28, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

You mean like this?

North America/Europe Costume Pack In North America, the codes for this pack are given to those who are subscribing to Weekly Shonen Jump or Neon Alley. In Europe, those who pre-order the game receive all the costumes.

If so, it doesn't seem to look right. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 20:36, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Not like that. I was talking about , but I changed it back. --Questionaredude (talk) 21:02, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * This(Character)
 * and this(Costume)

Story Mode Only Playable Characters
Should it be noted (or I'm just not reading it in the article) that there are some charaters only briefly playable in story mode and not VS mode? Examples are Kushina, Shukaku Nara and Tailed Beast Mode Naruto? Sparxs77 (talk) 18:01, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably best stating those in the Video Game sections of their character pages. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 20:36, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Naming of Characters in this Article
How should we go about naming characters in this article? Should we use game terms or our literal english/common terms? For example, in the Playable Characters section it says:

Ino Yamanaka (Allied Shinobi Forces, Hundred Scattered Flowers Mode)

But using the game's terms, it would be:

Ino Yamanaka (Great Ninja War, Late Blooming)

I mean, with the second method, we can still use internal links to link to the canon article names. General Awesomo 23:27, April 16, 2013 (UTC)
