Pre Time Skip Shikimaru Combo Guide

PTS Shikamaru is fairly quick but not overly strong and his reach is somewhat lacking. He makes use of kunai in his combos and jutsu, both explosive and regular but unlike his Shippuden form he only uses his shadow in his Ougi.

Unlike the other characters he doesn't have a grab, instead he has an unblockable kick. It's about as fast as a throw and does the same damage so meh.

His jutsu is good for countering rushers and has good horizontal range.
