Fun story on why NH3 is good AND bad for the serious fans.
Sasuke can do Sharingan. This should be obvious, but the way it works is cool. He copies the basic style of his opponent as well as their jutsus (either one only if possible, so he can't copy Zabuza, that would make no sense), and gains a power and speed boost. He needs to land a super to get it, but that's not TOO hard thanks to setups. So, this sounds good, right? Very cool feature, keeps it true to the original. Here's where it gets horrible. My brother is playing Haku. I'm kind of whomping on him, and he gets hit with my super. He's down to about 20% life and I have Sharingan. So, not entirely sure if my jutsus remain the same, I test it out. Haku hits his copied counter. And lo and behold...
SASUKE COPIED HAKU'S FUGGIN' BLOODLINE.
Haku proceeds to die after this happened shortly after for the second time thanks to that power boost.
And on a less NH3-oriented note, I'm running a Guilty Gear tourney tomorrow at my school. Scrubs all around but I put up posters so I'm hoping someone decent shows. In order to taunt the scrubs, I announce that I will be playing, but will only play mirror matches. And thus, being asked what characters I suck at ensues (having played around with everyone at some point or another there is no character I REALLY suck at), to which I respond ABA and Order-Sol. Scrubs are all "YEAH I'MA PLAY THEM." My response: "You do realize both are heavily reliant on their specials?" Scrubs make me laugh.
