Guide/Notation

Hey! So the Clash of Ninja games are fairly unconventional, and on our wiki we'll have quite a few icons which might confuse newcomers. We've done our best to keep them straightforward, but just in case, we've created a guide for you to consult whether you're new to the games or assembling a combo guide.

• Similar to most fighting game movelists, all button inputs are by the assumption that your character is facing right.
• The button design used on the wiki assumes you are playing Clash of Ninja with a GameCube controller. A "conversion guide" will be available soon.
