   Japanese Ninjitsu or Spanish Ninjitsu?
Here I am going to do an analysis of a match between Hatake Kakashi-sensei from Naruto and Vega(Balrog in JAP) from Street Fighter 2.

Weapons:
Kakashi - Shuriken, Kunai, and Katana.
Vega(Balrog) - Claws.

Attacks for Hatake Kakashi:


1. Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) - This Jutsu, using a contract, Seal, and the user's blood, binds an animal to the user. The type of animal is determined by the contract and Seal performed.

2. Kuchiyose called Kuchiyose: Doton: Tsuiga no Jutsu (Summoning: Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique) - Summons a variety of Ninja Dogs that burst from the ground and take hold of the opponent's body. The opponent becomes unable to move, and is then open for larger scale jutsu.

3. Raikiri/Chidori (Lightning Blade/ A Thousand Birds) - Lightning Blade is a technique developed by Hatake Kakashi that allows him to cut through any foe. It is essentially the same attack as Chidori; in fact, Chidori is the "true" name of the attack, it was given the nickname "Raikiri" or "Lightning Blade" after Kakashi used the technique to cut a lightning bolt in two. After concentrating all the chakra into his arm, Kakashi uses his quickness and the power of the thrust from the chakra to pierce any object with his extended forearm. Due to the high speed at which Kakashi moves, the force emits a sound like a thousand birds chirping, which is where Chidori originally got its name. Because of the great amount of chakra needed to utilize the technique, Kakashi can only use it four times in one day.

4. Konohagakure Hiden: Taijutsu no Ôgi: Sennen Goroshi (Hidden Leaf Secret: Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Death) - A verbose title for an extremely sharp, simple poke to the rectal region of an opponent with the index and middle fingers of both hands, launching him into midair with humiliating pain.

Attacks for Vega(Balrog): (Note that I am only going to list moves he used in the Animated movie and in SF 2.)


1. Tumbling/Rolling Crystal Flash - Vega rolls into a claw strike.

2. Izuna drop - Drops from ceiling to slash at opponent within punching range.

3. Suplex - You should know what this is already.

4. Barcelona Slam - Like a swan dive to a throwing attack.

Analysis:

I would have to say that Vega/Balrog is at a disadvantage because of his custom made fighting style bieng a derivitive of Ninjitsu. As a result, Kakashi, AKA: The Copy Ninja, can easily mimic Vega's attacks. Even though it uses no hand seals, it is STILL Ninjitsu.

If the two just go into a weapon combat, Kakashi can use his Katana. More than likely Vega/Balrog's claw WILL be cut off depending on what kind of material it is made out of.

Also, since Kakashi has the ability to use substitution and clone jutsu, this can provide him with enough time to hide somewhere to prepare for a stronger or ambushing attack.

For Vega, his speed is to his advantage in some ways since he likes to stay up in the air a lot and do attacks. Heh, if he was in SSB/M, he would ALWAYS get the score ALL Aerial because he is stays in the air a lot. Also, All Variations because he uses practically all of his attacks in battle. (I just added that in for a laugh)

Conclusion:

Although Vega seems faster and more aggressive, the rules still applies if Kakashi finds him vulnerable on his backside. It would be time for a humilating *Twitch Twitch* Sennen Goroshi! Yes, Vega is the type of person who would try to attack as fast as possible. Fast attacking could also mean carelessness because we all know, someone can't just go on an endless frenzy while attacking like the wind. Since Vega uses a TYPE of Ninjitsu, Kakashi's Sharingan would be able to copy it.

I feel for you Vega... NOT!!! >:D

Feedback please, anyone? Your analysis?
