Best Character for Orb Battles

[The Vazzler]

So I just wanted to ask everyone which character they had the best time with for the Tournament/Orb Battles. I know each character has his/her pros and cons, but I found three types of characters in particular were quite useful.

- Long-range Jutsu users:
Characters like Sasuke have a long-range jutsu that is effective to keep opponents away from you from a distance. If you have good chakra management, this type should come in handy in most orb battles.

- Defensive Jutsu users:
Neji and Pain have defensive shielding jutsu that, if you are able to catch multiple opponents in it, you'll net a bunch of orbs in one blow. It's useful since you can cancel into your aerial jutsu as well since they both have aerial versions of Hakkeshou Kaiten and Shinra Tensei.

- Cinematic Jutsu users:
This group is arguable since they have jutsu that are close range, but it is effective nonetheless. Characters like Akatsuki Sasuke, Ay, Naruto, Minato, Kakashi, and Third Raikage all have jutsu that enter a brief cinematic when you successfully land it on an opponent. I found that to be useful in gathering orbs as well as shaving off a few seconds off the timer at the same time. Landing jutsu, no matter what the type, are useful in gathering orbs and knocking down your opponents at the same time.

As of now, I've had the easiest times with my main Sasuke (Kirin), as well as Ay and Neji, all of which belong to one of the categories listed above.

Let me know which characters you found useful and if there is a flaw in my theory. Thanks!

Just use Sai & spam his air combo.
The second hit where he launches em takes a ton of orbs & just dash & repeat = auto win.

EMS Sasuke, or Mas(h)uke also can do a up combo linked into down combo into air combo taking alot of orbs. His jutsu is also really nice when they all decide to rush you at once.

I find Old Minato to play as in this mode fun as flip too, because of his kunai warp tilt & the cinematic jutsu to drain orbs.

Sai,Lee and Orochimaru.

Sakura (jutsu), Hinata (jutsu), Kiba (jutsu & combo), Orochimaru (jutsu & combo) are the best in my opinion.

Anyone with AoE jutsus are good honestly. Hinata, Neji, Pain, and Nagato are real good at that. Since the AI tends to gang up on you.

kiba by far

his jutsu goes through everyone so you're pretty much guaranteed hits.

[Samarium]

negi and hinata are really good for it, you can easily do a triple rotation hit

Orochimaru, because it can hit more than once, and makes you invincible to everything during it, as well as a huge giant snake that hurts anything that touches it. His awakening is a little more awkward, but almost the same, with added poison.

Naruto for range attack invincibility while making and using the Rasengan.

Two Tailed cat girl. If you repeatedly use her up combo, you can juggle enemies without being taken into a cinematic. This way you can take loads of orbs from them without waiting for them to get up from being downed, and the combo is quite quick. Pretty much anyone with a fast up combo.

Mifune, his jutsu is crazy fast and long ranged. He may be the fastest character in the game during that. While awakened, his jutsu hits two times, and no longer triggers a cutscene, so you get to hit multiple enemies with it.

Just came across this, and it's old, but if I came across it anyone can I suppose.

I have to recommend Kimimaro for orb battles. The circular nature of his attacks tends to catch enemies that are trying to engage you in melee while you're trying to focus on one person. Since his combos finish insanely quickly, you can effectively rinse and repeat getting the knocked out orbs at the end of a combo. When I play as him, if I focus on one person at a time with his combos, I nearly always end up knocking everyone out of the match with 5-10 seconds left.

His Larch Dance is also incredibly useful. It's slow to start, but he follows his target with it and it's three, AoE attacks in a row that demolish anyone they hit and make a nice little orb firework show.
