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 entrapping the foe and completely taking control of a round. In Super, Shino benefits from revamped combo routes and a unique capable of punishing opponents who try to jump away from his creepy crawlies.

Gameplay

Moveset

Basic Moves	Notes
	Frame 14 high jab. His second jab can get 4B'd.
	Slow overhead. Hard knockdown, and plus on block by 1. Guarantees an uncharged bug setup on hit.
	A crouching shin kick- a decent crush, but is not a sweep.
	Handstand guard frame attack. Has both high and low crush frames.
	Mid fist strike. Gives Shino quicker access to his string teleport, even on whiff
	Jumping knee. is a great string for annoying opponents at mid-range.
	Divekick. Spinning launch.
Special Moves
	Lay bugs. Charged lays a bigger group of bugs which move faster and stay out longer.
	Shino summons bugs above the enemy. Good anti-air and is back-turned unblockable.
	Shino crouches down, high crushing, and summons bugs below the opponent which capture them and put them into the "feet stuck" state. The victim can mash out but Shino is able to get a combo in most circumstances. Can connect after .
	Counter: Shino disintegrates into a clone, leaving behind unblockable bugs that track the enemy for a brief amount of time and traps them in the "feet stuck" animation if caught (similar to charge ). Shino reappears behind the foe after the bugs are created.
	Shino shoots out bugs in front of him, sapping chakra. Short range projectile which can deal chip damage.
	Running, set distance teleport.
	Shino shoots a cloud of bugs down at an angle in front of him. Rounder than most attacks and hard to avoid. Spammable.
Super Moves
	Shino backhands the enemy to the ground and his bugs go to town. Drains 50% chakra from the victim. Large amount of active frames on the activator.
	Shino crouches down, high crushing, then bugs shoot up wherever the opponent is. Can deal significant amounts of damage. Costs 75% chakra.

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
is a good defensive option. It can be used when the opponent tries to through Shino's bugs to counter their attack. This opening can be used to set up further bugs and unblockables.
