Naruto also has below average weight which allows him to be KO'd very early. He has problems dealing with characters who possess disjointed range and great mobility (such as Meta Knight and Marth). All of his projectiles can be out-prioritized or reflected, reducing the effectiveness of his zoning game. However, Shadow Clone Slash covers a poor vertical distance and is predictable, making it easy to deal with if the opponent knows how it works.

Naruto can also play offensively by rushing down his opponent or defensively by zoning with his Shadow Clone Slash projectiles that can be set as traps onstage or dropped onto unsuspecting foes, strengthening his stage control, combo game, and edgeguarding ability. Naruto's strengths include his fast attacks, great combo ability and powerful finishers in all of his smash attacks, higher stages of Rasengan, back aerial, and down tilt. Naruto is ranked 30th on the current tier list, placing him in the B tier. His moveset is from the many types of Jutsu he uses in the Naruto franchise, including his signature moves, the Rasengan and Shadow Clones. His sprites are custom-made and based on his appearance in Naruto: Shippūden and are a heavily modified version for his sprites from Jump Ultimate Stars. Naruto is a newcomer starter character in Super Smash Flash 2. For general information about the character, see Naruto Uzumaki. This article is about Naruto's appearance in Super Smash Flash 2.
