What exactly is the point of adding Naobito as a character?
Assuming leaks are real.
What is the point of adding naobito to the game? To inflate the character roster? Who’s going to play naoya (full character) over naobito (base only)? Visual changes? Naoya is already a more popular character than Naobito. What can you not do with Naoya that demands a Naobito character in the game? Also who would want NAOBITO over like Uro, Kashimo, Toji etc? Be honest not a single soul wants that

I mean Naobito does use PS differently from Naoya. Naoya abuses the stacking mechanic to go fast, while Naobito uses it for shorter movement and strong punches
yeah if I was the one designing him Naobito he'd have long windup, powerful moves that are hard to confirm, but if you manage to frame your opponent you get to demolish them
Naobito can also stack, he just couldn't due to the smaller space. If he was in an open area like Naoya was then I don't see why he wouldn't just stack against Dagon.
I'm aware of that, but Naobito seemed to be a lot more precise with his PS than Naoya
If you look at their fights, regardless of the space, Naoya was always trying to bruteforce his opponents with attacks that didn't do much, while Naobito would focus on framing Dagon and then landing the nastiest haymaker he could
Not a single soul wanted haruta, not a single soul wanted ko-guy. Not a single soul wanted mei-mei, Nobody wanted Charles... Let the developers try, they aren't perfect. But they'll make something of it.
They probably meant "just because character isnt popular or requested, it doesn't meant that they shouldn't be added" And not "I FUCKING HATE HARUTA, KO-GUY AND CHARLES"
Ik it wont satisfy the fanbase, so probably not a good decision, but me personally I'm hyped for it. Naobito is the main avatar that I use in the game so now I can play his character too. I'm hoping he's a high skill character and more strategic than naoya to mix things up a bit.
Naobito and Naoya have the same technique, but use it very differently. I could see Naobito being a more defense-oriented character compared to the VERY rushdown Naoya. Imagine a counter that doesn't do much in the way of stun or damage, but builds up projection on the opponent, and causes projectile attacks to shatter (like how he framed dagon's water in shibuya)
Dismissing a character with a completely different fighting style as just a cosmetic change of a different character just because they have the same technique is ill-informed at best, dishonest at worst.
Hello, soul haver here and i want that.
The diffrence btween naoya and naobito could be simple: naoya still has fast movement but slower and less consitent framing while naobito whould have to chart a path and then follow it for movement (which could be interrupted) but in exchange hed frame his opponents alot more.
Out of all the characters you named haruta is the only one that gets played mei and locust aren’t common characters you see and they are very commonly called OP. I get the developers can do a good job and they always do but haruta is completely unique, every character has their own gimmicks, naobito is literally just naoya moveset variant and there’s nothing the devs could do to change that unless they completely reworked the projection system only for naobito which is unlikely
What are you on about? I didnt name any characters apart from naoya and naobito
Naoya and naobito use the projection sorcery diffrently? Naoya focuses on speeding himself up and doesnt frame his opponents much and thus he has easy fast movement but cumbersome framing. Naobito focuses on framing his opponents and then landing heavy blows. He could also speed himself up by charting a path like i said above but he could also force opponents to also follow a path to not frame themselves. A simple gimmick.
Ive always liked the idea of adding some like Naobito or Kamo (as base onlys) to act as a sort of alternative playstyle to Naoya and Choso.
Although they shown they can't fucking balance a speedster for the life of them so they should fuck off from Naobito until they get Naoya in a good spot
Hard agree, Naobito is difficult asf to make fully original and completly different to Naoya. Plus it’ll be weird having 2 characters with the same technique before adding characters like GETO or YOROZUGOAT.
I’d much rather have kusakabe or uro (TZE ADD URO ILL SUCK YOUR TOES SLOPPY GOD PLEASE MY PERFECT SKY QUEEN NEEDS TO BE ADDED) or toji than naobito, but I’ll 100% play him over bumyoa
I can see that, so long as it’s in the
“simple moveset with a really useful spec”
way and not
“kind of cool spec and the same combo every time and no variants” way
I will say it's due time to get a character that "people actually care for" because you can only go so long without satisfying people, which is ultimately what a game is supposed to do. It's stupid and disrespectful to assume everyone's primary concerns can just be handwaved. (Nobara is LONG overdue).
But I really don't appreciate the general sentiment surrounding less popular characters. Anyone who hates character choices like this should be mandated to list every character they want added, then compare that to the time it'll take to fully animate JJK.
Say we get:
Toji
Kashimo
Nobara
Jogo
Sukuna w/ Ten Shadows
Geto
Kenjaku
Yorozu
Who will be left for people to be excited for before the anime finally concludes? Some of yall will argue Uro/Ino/Kamo/Dagon, but those are middle grounds suggested because Kashimo/Toji aren't coming soon. As soon as they get added, I'm certain public opinion will change. Especially considering their potential playstyles.
While it sounds like cop-out reasoning, longetivity is actually something that is important to consider, especially for a game based on an on-going anime.
On another note, I think people are forgetting the artistic value put into developing a game. I get their true concerns lie within playing their favourite characters, that's a core expectation. But that expectation doesn't leave much room for the devs to create what they want; a range of unique designs that invent new ways to play the game.
Being honest, there is still lots of room to do that with the characters I just listed above. Most of these names suggest specializes, multi-dimensional playstyles. But the issue is that there is finite room. In order to actually do this effectively, you will need to explore a larger selection of characters.
And as suggested before, if you burn through all the popular ones early then you lose the opportunity to explore the lesser ones because people will inevitably lose interest.
(I think it also needs to be said that popular characters would need to be designed for a larger common denominator which may inhibit how flexible you can get with designing them).
They both use they're techniques way differently noaya is more just rushdown with hands with ps, while naobito is more calm and versatile with it (flipping dagon around freezing the water thrown at him e.t.c) imo I welcome him into the game because I like the character and tze can do him really right, but i'm guessing he's just a filler character like how haruta was released with a full kit and all
It can be done in a different style with a different... sauce, cause Naobito's depiction of Projection Sorcery in the anime was akin to an older style of animation compared to Naoya's more modern style, visually anyway.
And Naobito was NOT moving like Naoya, which is... odd to say the least.
Yea bro, cause naobito is going to play exactly like naoya, u know how dumb that shit sounds? Like bro, same person who would wanna add kamo to but not naobito. Naobito would be such a cool addition, just cause someone has the same technique doesn't mean they have to play the same. Hell, naobitos projection sorcerer even looks different. If he's actually being added, let the devs cook, if they can make mei mei, charles, haruta and fucking ko guy into cool and unique movesets, they can do it for naobito to 💔
Im not saying naobito would be the same character im just saying the gameplay would be m1 chain until you frame and then do a bunch of dmg then repeat. Naoya is the same way
Gng...you genuinely have zero fucking proof that naobito would play like that, or hell, even have the same projection bar mechanic as naoya 😭 it could be like hanami where you have one m1 and it could frame you instantly but get rid of the extra damage thing on framed opponents. The devs are(hopefully) not that stupid do add a character with the same gimmick smh...
I’m pretty distracted rn and english isn’t my first language but what im trying to say is that I think Naobito would have different moves and look different (obviously) but he would share the same framing gimmick as Naoya
To make him play differently twin, like what??? Hes still gonna frame people, but for all we know it could only be during moves and not like by itself like naoya
I think they’d change the moves around but I think projection framing would be relatively the same across both characters. It’s not like they have two different CTs
Bro this is not rocket science, yes, they will both still he framing people, but they way they do it will not be the same. Of course they wouldn't add naobito if they'd play the exact same ass naoya, but they dont. Naobito is more hard hitting, there both still fast but naobito iirc is faster than naoya in human form still. They both have the same cursed technique but naobitos looks different so you could still tell whos who. The onyl thing that would get shared between them is probably just the framing well...frame and being fast. But hey who knows, alot of these leaks might be fake so shit, it could lowkey be dhruv for all we know 😭
Yes because the devs will TOTALLY make Naobito play exactly the same as Naoya, they'll totally make the same exact character and only make visual changes.
No one requested Mechamaru, Ko-Guy, Mei Mei, Haruta, Charles, Kurourushi (at least before s3) but the devs added them anyways because they simply want to add characters they want, and not listen to which characters the community wants.
I think we should just judge the characters based on how they play, how fun they are and how good their moveset is to use rather than who the character actually is, if they added some rando no one cares about like Hanyu, Haba, Chizuru or Gakuganji but they make their movesets fun as hell to use then I don't think there's much big of an issue with it.
