Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 — At the start of a match, characters now bounce away from each other due to the collision effect without damage, unlike the previous game where they bounce with damage instead. All characters now have basic combo finishers in all four directions (forward, up, down, and back), with one of the four for some characters being defensive break attacks, except for the downward one-way combo. Meanwhile, the jutsu that was performed as a combo finisher is now performed with an upx2+ attack.
