Naruto (Super Smash Flash)

Naruto is a playable newcomer unlockable character in Super Smash Flash. He is the only character representation of the  universe and his sprites come from Naruto: Ninja Council on the Game Boy Advance. To the fans' dismay, he lacks any use of attacks involving jutsu or chakra like he uses in his franchise.

Naruto is ranked 11th on the tier list. Naruto is fast and has deceptive range and strong finishers, which allows him to overwhelm many opponents. However, Naruto has no conventional projectiles, which hinders his neutral game and gives him difficulty against characters like or. He is also fairly large, making him more vulnerable to attacks than other smaller characters. Additionally, whilst his damage range, and speed are above average, he still tends to be outclassed by fighters that specialize in each of those categories. Regardless, Naruto is still a strong character in the game, which places him relatively high in the tier list.
