Hey readers! This is my second guide( first being Tenten), and want to say that I hope you'll learn some good tricks in here. Like Tenten, Temari is a "ranged" character. She's my favorite female character in Naruto so that's why I play her. OK, enough idle talk, lets get to the guide all ready!


Pros
1) Has a quick and useful U2(ultimate justu)
2) Has an above average awakening
3) Combos combo fairly well at a certain distance
4) Has bombs
5) has a good tilt

Cons
1) Her grab has little range, and doesn't cause SB(stirke back)
2) Her ninja tools don't compliment each other at all
3) Justu is obvious and easy to evade
4) Air projectile combo doesn't even connect unless at far away
5) ckunai(chakra kunai) stops her movement, limiting her agility
6) combos are long, leaving her open for punishment



"O" combo
----------------------------------------------------
5 Hits
6% Damage
----------------------------------------------------
Temari does some fan swipes, kicks her foe off the ground, then slams him/her down with her fan. Starting her projectile combos after the kicks will give Temari a good distance for her combos. The enemy bounces up after the last hit, allowing comboing from supports.

Air "O" combo
---------------------------------------------------
5 Hits
4% Damage
---------------------------------------------------
She hammers her opponent with her fan, then sends them downward with the last hit. The first hit hovers her up a bit, so you have to remember that if you want to use it after a substitute. The last hit is easier to sub than the others.

Tilt combo
---------------------------------------------------
12 Hits
4% Damage (3% by projectile)
---------------------------------------------------
She swirls her self with wind. It does a multi hit attack that ends with her sending an upward projectile that comes back down. Depending on how close the enemy is, they will either be sent directly to the ground, or sent flying(causing SB). It's an useful tilt that's hard to substitute. Just remember its range is small.

Grab
--------------------------------------------------
11% Damage
--------------------------------------------------
She knocks the enemy up, chases them through the air, and crushes their stomachs with her fan. Mediocre startup. Slow cooldown. She doesn't move. Has small range. Does not cause SB. I advise not throwing this out unless you're sure it will hit.



Idle square combo
--------------------------------------------------
12 Hits
15% Damage
--------------------------------------------------
She throws some wind at her opponent. Last hit is a homing tornado. Pretty basic combo. Her other combos connect better, so there's really no point in using this one. It causes SB though

<,> combo
---------------------------------------------------
20 Hits
16% Damage
---------------------------------------------------
She does some hurling, then sends a barrage of wind, ending off with several blades of wind being thrown. Causes SB. My personal favorite combo as well. Not much more to say.

^ combo
----------------------------------------------------
20 Hits
21% Damage
----------------------------------------------------
She throws wind again, but this time sends blades of wind to lift her foe into the air. Temari herself is also lifted during the final portion. Connects pretty good.

v combo
----------------------------------------------------
11 Hits
13% Damage
----------------------------------------------------
She launches wind at her enemy, but the last hit is like her tilt's hit and crashes them to the floor. The second to last hit can combo into her U2 as well. This one doesn't connect as well as the others, but the U2 combo is worth it.

Air projectile combo
----------------------------------------------------
8 Hits
6% Damage
----------------------------------------------------
She tosses two wind balls at her enemy, then rolls up a ball of wind to throw at her foe. The third hit doesn't hit unless at a far enough distance. It also combos pretty badly. It causes SB. My advice is to not do the third hit if directly above her enemy.

Chakra kunai- She thows a pile of wind at her enemy. If grounded, she throws two waves of it. It makes Temari stay in place, so it shouldn't be used for approaches. It does, however, have a lot of hitstun. So doing it, then comboing into a support can be of use.

Ultimate justu
---------------------------------------------------
30% Damage
---------------------------------------------------
She sends a circular wave of wind at her enemy. If caught, she then uses the wind to send her opponent upwards, into a "n" shape to the ground. It's pretty fast so it can be used to punish chakra dashes. You can also chakra dash into U2 to pull it off. A pretty good U2 in my opinion.

Justu
---------------------------------------------------
10% Damage
---------------------------------------------------
She sends a flat tornado at her enemy that lifts the enemy into the air if it lands. It's slow, easy to evade, and easy to substitute. My advice? Only use this like one or two times at max in a match. It's pretty bad.



Character item- Temari's item is dumplings. It recovers a bit of her chakra

< Item- Attack down tag. Makes the enemies attack decrease if hit for a while. She has two.

v Item- Speed boost tag. Allows her to increase her movement speed for a while two times.

> item- Explosive kunai. Causes SB. She has two of them.




As a support, Temari is average. Her justu is useless, but the only reason you would want her is for her balance support. Her kunai makes the enemy stunned for a short period of time. You can take advantage of this easy. It makes so much hitstun, that even Deidara can combo his U2 with her help. So she's like Gaara and Shikamaru in that if you hit them with her kunai, you can pull off a U2 or U3(team ultimate justu). Since she is not very useful justu wise, she can be a pretty good guard support. She gets team bonuses from only two teams. Sand siblings(Temari, Gaara, Kankuro) and Chuunin exam supervisers(Temari, Shikamaru).




Her awakening is pretty good if used right. Spamming her ground square combo isn't the right way though since they can be avoided easy. In awakening, her moveset alters. Her square combo becomes three tornados, and her air projectile combo becomes three waves of wind. Your main objective is to get your enemy on the ground. The best way is using her tilt on the enemy. Once on the ground, start up your square combo. If done right, they will not have time to dodge and will be forced to block, or try to substitute. The last tornado lifts them into the air. You can then jump up and combo them with your air projectile combo. It's avoidable, so don't think the only way to avoid it is substituting. During awakening, Temari can not be harmed by normal kunais. Again, you're still just Temari. You can be harmed, and sent into SB.

note- Using your speed boost and attack down tags before awakening can help for a short while.




It's just opinion, so don't take this portion all to seriously. However, in my opinion, Temari can be paired with any type of support really, but she gets the most help from long range supports like Itachi,Gaara, and Deidara. It all comes down to preferance though so don't worry.




Although Temari isn't one of the best characters, she can still be fun to play. Thank you for reading, and hope Temari fans alike can benifit from this guide. If you have anything to say, positive or negative, please do.




This portion is for thing I may have left out, or not of known, that has been said by other board members.

OK, all finished up. I'll check for spelling ect later. All feedback is wanted, and if you can, rate the guide at the top.
I'll be doing a Sai guide as well. Hope this all helped!

Also, if anyone can find a good sand sibling picture, can you give it to me for the guide? I can't find good ones.....

Pretty nice. I like the part where you discussed the hitstun of the c.kunai, I didnt know that.

great job! my friend mains temari so i'll show him this for sure.

Thank you! Glad I could help!

I used her chakra shuriken to combo into a Gaara or Kankuro support. Never used her on balance tho.
1 thing i noticed about her jutsu is that it tracks fairly well at long range. I had multiple opponents thinking they could just jump away from it and still get hit.

The right item is 2 paper bombs, not explosive kunai (which are the 3 kunai balloon thingies)

Nice guide :P
