Post your ideas for Taijutsu here. Please go beyond naming skills from Naruto, elaborate on how they would work in game and use as much detail as possible.

Leaf whirlwind - this is by Rock Lee, but also used by Gai Maito, and I think Kakashi (and maybe others) have used it too. Should be about level 60 or so, very powerful twirling kick that has the potential to stun an opponent. Of course this should be a leaf-only technique.

The secret technique (for the life of me I can't remember its name) - also by Rock Lee, as taught by Gai Maito. Should be even higher, so perhaps level 80 or so, far more powerful technique that takes 3 or 4 turns to build up, does enormous damage, but then for 20 turns afterwards the person doing it has their armour class seriously damaged, and can barely move. Will reduce their stamina to 0 instantly, but requires a huge amount just to be able to use it, drops all stats by 5 each for 20 turns. Will have to wait for stamina exhaustion to kick in just to be able to move. (Sounds awful, as it is in the game, but would be a move you could use to instantly kill someone)

I don't know if it is worth considering having some of the taijutsu skills of someone like Chouji's body enlargement and cannon ball things, as they seem to require chakra and handseals to cast anyway.

Juggle Kick / Handspring Kick / Flying Crane Attack

A handspring to double-leg kick that sends the opponent into the air, (with a chance to do one of the following)

- interrupting a jutsu mid-cast
- making the opponent lose their next attack round(s)
- 'follow up' - following up with more kicks while the opponent is in mid-air, unable to respond. Diminishing chance every round to keep juggling the opponent in mid air.

I'd see it as a heavy stamina cost, part-tactical part-fun move. The idea of booting people around in the air isn't new, but I like the way Lee, Kakashi and Sasuke can plant a hand, twist and attack with a different limb etc., moving in a new direction. The 'flying' aspect could be interpreted to make this a Tsuru/Crane school ability only.

The descriptions below contain some very obvious cues 'you stagger back unable to attack this round' meant for clarity only. I'd want to make them cooler and less 'obvious' :)

I have no clue about damage values - I am nowhere near crane school level yet, but I would like this to kick ass :)
