Hi! So while normally I don't indulge in anti... I can't help it, it's fun XD People are so sensitive about some things, but anyway... I'm on board with you since I realized later in life that yeah, Sakura is absolutely brilliant and Hinata is... SO not. I can't say I enjoy her character one bit anymore after she's done nothing but disappoint me. BUT! What I wanted to let you know was something else that kinda pisses me off.
Now we know that it's obvious that Studio Bones and the animators have this insane and somewhat misogynistic favoritism towards Hinata (because's quiet, submissive and kind), given how much to flanderize Sakura's temper to make her look like that's all she is.
Well I think even whoever made the video games favor Hinata too. I used to play this old-ass game called Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2. Very old lol but there were some joke/unique versions of characters.
Example: "Sealed Orochimaru" in reference to how he couldn't use any jutsu thanks to 3rd Hokage's Seal. And "Nine Tailed Naruto" with Naruto as the Nine Tailed Fox.
And then there's "Byakugan Hinata" I'm not kidding you, they have this... badass version of Hinata who is a competent fighter, has a strong disposition and seems to actually care about her status as a Hyuga. Even though in canon there hasn't been a single moment where Hinata's shown to be competent in fighting (she hasn't won a single battle in combat), strong (any bold moment was just so she could look cool in front of Naruto) or given a damn about her clan or her status given that she spends every moment on panels or screen gushing and thinking about Naruto.
Now here I am thinking... how pathetic is that?
That the creators of this game made up such a farfetched and dare I say fanfic-ed version of Hinata that you can find in any badly written fiction where Hinata is suddenly a badass when she's shown repeatedly in canon that she is NOT.
Hinata is no badass. She just isn't. I thought she had potential once upon a time, and then the fillers (which aren't canon) go out of their way to make her look badass when in canon, she isn't.
So it's not just the anime, the games were guilty of this too.
Okay I'm so sorry this got long lol, but I just thought it'd be neat to tell you this because it's a game many have forgotten because it IS pretty old lol. But... looking back on it, it disappoints me.
Sakura is the true badass female of Naruto. That's a fact.
Hey, there is nothing wrong with being an anti, as long as you are anti-fictional character and not anti-real preson, then you are good! 💕
So let me welcome you to the datk side, and let's go.
(BTW we clarified that it was supposed to say "studio pierrot", a mix-up, it happens ❤️)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
100% true and the worst part is that they don't see they do her an injustice.
Like studio pierrot made Hinata a healer:
But when it mattered she couldn't do anything, because she can't heal, so she looks just stupid.
Neji is dying? Better let him die. People are dying all around during war? Better not heal them because why would she? 🤷♀️
Or
They made her meet Naruto when they were children in The Last:
But then Naruto at 12yo calls her a "weirdo" or in that translation "a freak who won'teven look me in the eye"?
They make it seem like "she was always there for Naruto", but when Naruto is thinking about his first bonds she's nowhere to be found?
And I tried to like Hinata too, I even talked about it here, so i understand, but she's such an awfull character to be shown to younger audience that it's painful.
She's selfish and rude, her whole life revolves around a boy, her whole ambition is to be with Naruto and to cook and clean for him.
And now to the games, I had to Google it, because I haven't played it, but:
This is another injustice towards her, because it hypes her character out to be strong and hype her potential just to leave her weak and without accomplishing a thing.
And don't get me wrong, I know that games are supposed to allow the player to decide who wins and who loses based on players skills, but...
That game came out in 2004, by then the manga was at the end of OG Naruto, so looking at how the games are trying to portray her, we (as viewers or players) can assume that she will be strong someday, and yet she never was.
We were led to believe that her father will see her as strong and with "great potential", but Hanabi is still the one that will be the head of Hyuga clan, and Neji was the one who is the strongest (and we know it, it was stated).
"Surpassing the main branch" and "For the brilliant blood of the Hyuga to be flowing within a child who cannot become an heir what natural talent".
And then, Hiashi that had pure hatred (or at least the thought about them as a less than/slaves to main family) towards the branch PREFERRED TO TRAIN NEJI AND HINATA WAS THERE TO BRING THE TEA.
It's pure embarrassment. 🤷♀️
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's an injustice to her character and I'M THE ONE WHO IS SAYING THIS, WHEN I HATE HER GUTS 🤷♀️

2XKO SHOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT
I'm gonna be honest, 2XKO could have been much better/appealing if it was made more like Naruto Storm than Guilty Gear.
I understand why Riot chose this route, smaller character roster, less character means cheaper production, yada yada.
But I don't feel anything coming from 2XKO, no spark, no inovation, we've wanted for so long for an arcade mode of League but this doesn't feel like it. It must be the 2 vs 2 that bothers me the most, the visuals of it, and the hit boxes too are gonna be a mess in such small screen/arena.
My idea for a Naruto Storm like mode would be:
3d free roaming circular arena.
Teams made of 3 champions, each teams has an special/ult unique to it based on combining aspects of the champions in it (teams are not costumable).
[Cut costs by not having to worry about creating various different specials due to attack combinations]
Player can change between 3 champions during the fight
Teams are composed by champions that would not be usually be seen together, justified by a cool-looking special attack. (Fun factor)
When on the selection screen player can see what the team excels (close quarts, long range...) and a descreption of the special attack that always has a funny/cool name
EXEMPLE:
Team 1
Gragas - Jinx - Ziggs
Flavor text: "The Zaunite mad lads found out in the loudest way how flamable Gragas' brew was. Now they use it to create giant explosions in the arena."
Special: GRAPE EXPLOSION - Jinx pours a gallon of shimmer inside Gragas' barrel while Ziggs throws in some of his bombs. Gragas slaps the lid over the top and shakes it barista style then throws it at the enemy causing a huge explosion.
*Feel free to give your suggestions in the comments of what teams I should do next*
