Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3

[Rarhyx]

Five Kage Summit.
Character roster..
Both of these are probably not the final versions given we're just over a month away till release but I think its safe to say the blue boxes are the Jinchuuriki

ah thanks
like I said it was fanmade and just and idea what characters might be in xP

and thus seven blue boxes:

Fū
Torune
C/Shee (whatever you call him)
Kurotsuchi
Akatsuchi
Ao
Chōjūrō

it's obvoius in my opinion...

e:
just noticed left from sasuke there are 5 boxes with uchiha fan symbol and 4 sharingan symbols and 2 sharingans are in like in the middle

[liangbi]

Madara doesn't even look like himself there

[Rarhyx]

did you read that I wrote it was fanmade?

[Curryman]

So were the first set of costumes Japan only? Also are these supposed to be Europe only? I know Goku Naruto is available for all but these extra costumes for the others seem region based.

So will us guys in MURICA get bikini Hinata revealed next???

Soooo, that characteer selection screen has a very convenient attribute to it: the unlockable slots have symbols that tell us a lot about what's gonna be there. This blessing from the heavens can be used in conjucntion with the knowledge we have, and the experience from the previous Storm Games.
I present to you two lists ready to be filled in. The first list has all 88 slots filled in with the characters we already know and with the Symbols shown in the empty slots. Ready to be filled in. My second list is partially filled in by yours truly, based on logical placement and the knowledge we have, plus safe assumptions. Let me tell you in advance that this screen makes it impossible for all of the Seven Swordsmen to be incorporated as playable characters.

My own still incomplete list. Please note that I have thought very carefully about the placement of characters in logical positions. All characters from Generations are in, except for the young versions of our rookies. Edo Tensei are alternate costumes instead of seperate characters. For characters with a ">" in front of them I'm reasonably sure they're correctly placed. If they have ">>"placed in front of them I'm positive of their correct placement:

Upper row
1: Naruto with NTR / WS:RS ultimates
2: *Hidden Leaf Symbol >>Sage Mode Naruto
3: Naruto with nine-Tailed Chakra mode / Tailed beast mode (alternate version)
4: Sakura
5: Sai
6: Neji
7: Lee
8: Tenten
9: Shikamaru
10: Choji
11: *Hidden Leaf Symbol - Butterfly Choji?
12: Ino
13: *Sharingan Symbol - Masked Man
14: *Sharingan Symbol - Rinne Tobi
15: *Sharingan Symbol - Madara
16: *Sharingan Symbol
17: *Uchiha Crest >>Karin
18: *Uchiha Crest >>Jugo
19: *Uchiha Crest >>Suigetsu
20: *Uchiha Crest >>Sasuke (Susano'o / EMS)
21: *Uchiha Crest >>Sasuke (Taka)
22: Sasuke with Chidori True Spear / Kirin

--Below is probably the Edo Tensei Corner, with leaf symbols not neccesarily meaning Konoha ninja, because for one we need to place Hanzo somehwere--

81: *Hidden Leaf Symbol
82: *Hidden Leaf Symbol - Ginkaku/Kingaku?
83: *Hidden Leaf Symbol - Possibly Mangetsu Hozuki with the seven swordstyles?
84: *Hidden Leaf Symbol >>Hanzo the Salamander
85: *Hidden Leaf Symbol >>Second Tsuchikage
86: *Hidden Leaf Symbol >>Second Mizukage
87: *Hidden Sand Symbol >>4th kazekage
88: *Hidden Sound Symbol >>Kimimaro

EDIT 1: Edo Kages confirmed

PS: yeah I wasted roughly 90 minutes of my life on this :P

[KiSwordsman]

I don't think they wasted all that time on that costume, its not like they developed an engine to make her boobs bounce realistically like in Dead or Alive

Even still, it's utterly pointless. It makes my head hurt. Even Kimono Sasuke makes sense, being that it was what he was wearing when he first revealed the Eternal Mangekyo. Tsunade's alternate costume has no place. It just pisses me off.

Who cares, we had to get something replacing Sexy Hinata (Swimsuit Sakura), that would be so weird for the western players that don't know anything about Road to Ninja.
I'd rather have Tsunade than Sakura, the Tsuande costume looks good, Sakura's swimsuit looks absolutely terrible.
You may not ever see the Tsunade costume, this has only been confirmed in Europe. The US may get something different.

The odd symbol on the 3rd row seems like the "Will of fire" symbol, considering it's next to a lone Sharingan symbol, it could be Hashirama and Madara placed together.

I just think the whole alternate costume thing is extremely stupid. I mean really, is just unnecessary. Especially, these costumes that have nothing to do with the actual game or manga. It's just time better spent tweaking aspects of the game. This is of course my opinion.

[EMS]

call me dumb but... FKS?^^
what's this? :O

e: found this(fan made):
how the character rooster might be

That's a weird looking madara if you ask me.
The costumes are okay, there extra for fun but i preferred the player characters having more options of jutsus and ultimate than a silly customes

[liangbi]

did you read that I wrote it was fanmade?

actually didnt read at first but still compared to the madara scan which was thought to be real this one is obviously fanmade

[Smerten]

The odd symbol on the 3rd row seems like the "Will of fire" symbol, considering it's next to a lone Sharingan symbol, it could be Hashirama and Madara placed together.

Could be. I've thought about it and compared it with this monument:


Maybe it is a will of fire symbol, though there are differences. If it is, then Mifune has to be placed elswhere. But I don't think Hashirama will be there. The one factor arguing against that is that Tsunade, as the FIFTH hokage, has four spaces before her. In past games the hokage were placed against each other. So these four spaces are too perfectly placed. The previous hokage fit perfectly. If we remove Hashirama from there, we suddenly have an odd space to fill. Who could possibly fit there messing up the order of hokage?
But if the symbol is the will of fire, then what might that mean? When placed alongside the Sharingan, it is a meaningful contrast, and that would indeed suggest a "rivalling" pair of some sorts. Placed roughly in the middle of the roster, possibly hinting significance. If so, they might represent the Will of Fire and True Despair respectively, and if so, contain Naruto (tailed beast mode) and Sasuke (EMS) since they are the ultimate versions of the two most important characters in the story.
But about the Sharingan symbol. It's placed alongside the spaces which absolutely, positively, undoubtedly hold the jinchuriki. So the Sharingan symbol might represent a variety of Rinne Tobi.
These two are difficult, indeed.

[matsemann08]

Ninja Academy Sakura will be the fourth European costume DLC.

[Rarhyx]

and the chances for buying a collectors edition are almost gone...

[Prince Sasuke]

What's up with the lack of videos? Are we not due for some?
