Summary

Not everyone can be a hero. The only Konoha boy left behind for the Sasuke retrieval mission gets his revenge in Super Clash of Ninja! 4. Known as a setup character who relies on summoning bugs to disrupt his opponent, Shino is capable of truly disgusting traps during which he can completely take control of a round. In Super, Shino benefits from revamped combo routes and a unique Template:Throw capable of punishing opponents who take the sky to avoid his creepy crawlies.

Strategy

• Fittingly, Shino's general gameplan revolves around his use of bugs, specifically . After a knockdown Shino can lay bugs on the ground giving him a massive advantage. Shino can tick throw after the opponent is forced to block bugs or strike if he predicts a throw break. He can then snowball his advantage, getting another knockdown and laying more bugs. Bugs can be destroyed by being hit with a special attack, most often opposing air projectiles. All bugs also disappear if Shino is hit with an attack, making it risky for Shino to attempt to lay bugs while the opponent is in striking distance, though previously summoned bugs may protect him (including from wake-up-kick).
• gives Shino enough time to fully charge . Fully charged bugs move faster and stay on the stage longer than normal bugs.
• is a hard knockdown which gives Shino enough time for an uncharged .
• With bugs on the ground can be used to get behind the opponent and set up unblockables.
• is a restand move, after which Shino can lay bugs or start a combo. Due to its slow speed, it's normally only effective off of an bug setup, a throw, or by mixing up the opponent's wakeup after . The bugs which appear after , which function similarly to the bugs, are unblockable.
  
• is fast, hard to sidestep and the bugs push Shino away keeping him safe. Spam this string.
• drains chakra and sets up a grounded strike/throw mix.
• helps Shino counter foes who attempt to jump over his grounded bugs.
• has both high and low crushes
• combos meterlessly into or
