Naruto Shippūden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2: Tilting

Question

I've read in various places that it is possible to perform a 'tilt' move with the characters in the Naruto Shippūden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 game. I have two questions on this, as I can't find my information on it:

1. What exactly is tilting?
2. How do you actually perform a tilt in the game?

Asked by Samuel Slade

Answer

1) Tilt is a combo that is available for every characters.

2) Yeah, the big thing that everyone never tells anyone is "Just nudge it, and the let go of the stick. Let it go to center. Then press O".

Steps: 1. Press stick in any direction slightly. 2. Let go of stick, letting it return to center. Don't hold it! (This process is fluid, and happens within a second. ) 3. Press O.

Are there any countermeasures to turbo-controller users?

Question

I've been playing quite a few online matches of Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 and have come across quite a few people who use a turbo controller to gain an unfair advantage.

Seeing how blocking just before an attack hits allows you to perform a substitution jutsu, negating all damage and placing you behind your attacker, people that use a turbo controller to spam the guard button are nigh-impossible to attack, as any attack in the game can be avoided in this manner.

This also allows them to land rather potent attacks while their opponent is still recovering from the sudden reversal, which in turn gives them breathing room to recharge their chakra (which is necessary to perform substitution jutsu).

Ranged characters may be a good counter to this technique, as substitution jutsu does not place you behind the attacker if he is not within melee range, but it is impossible to spot a turbo-controller user at the character selection stage.

Is there any tactic I can use to punish people who rely on turbo blocking?

Answer

There are really only two things you can do. First, file a bug report with the developers, (who ought to be able to write some code to detect and respond to turbo controller usage if they decide it shouldn't be done,) and second, don't play with people who use turbo controllers.
