Ninja Mudra Macros and HUD guide

[San_Shiro]

I would think that its what the OP had in mind. His solution at the moment is more akin to notes on the screen and when he starts to learn them he can put them away.

Then i would share my way of learning/remembering the sequences. (Keyboard users only).

Keybinds:

E: Ten
R: Chi
F: Jin
T: Ninjutsu

So that makes a mini hypothetical word game for each skill.

Huton is FRET,
Katon is FET or RET,
Raiton is ERT or FR,T etc...


Hope i contributed

Ha! I use a controller and I've set it up so the three mudras travel logically (triangle = Heaven, square = Earth, "x"=Man) I like how I can keep track of them as if it were a fighting game.

I gotta give the OP some credit, haven't seen anything like that before, pretty interesting.

I would only advise that it's a bit of overkill. You don't need to know every combination for each ninjitsu, only the one that works best with your particular control set up.

Like my set up is 1-2-3

Suiton is 1-2-3
Huton is 1-3-2
Raiton is 2-1
Doton is 3-2-1
Fireball thing I forget it's name is 1-2

The other combinations don't matter if you just remember the one that works best for your set up.

The best way to remember is just practice, though. I hadn't played nin in over a year, it took me a minute to remember the right combinations but once I did the muscle memory kicked back in and that's all I needed.

^ I have a very similar setup to this on my Naga, only difference being I use slightly different combos (Suiton = 123, Huton = 321, Raiton = 12, Katon = 21).

You don't need to learn all the combos, you just need to have a good button layout. Since they fixed mudra lag, I can count on one hand the number of times I've missed one of my Ninjitsu actions.

I always see my mudras as numbers. I can't even remember the name of skills most of the time.

'Go fast thing' = 3, 2, 1
'Trick attack blue thing' = 1, 2, 3
'Lightning attack' = 1, 2

I keep mudras on the order I learned them.

There was just some similar post that pointed out you don't need to remember exact sequences, but what mudra each move ends and if it's three or two hit. For three hits, the first two are both others in either order, and for two hits, the first one is either of the two others.

That's not the interesting part though, but someone later pointing out that the choise actually does matter. In some cases were you would have been preparing three hit mudra, the order of the first two changes what you get if you have to adapt and only use the first two.

[DarkerOrange]

That is a moot point to be honest, since every fight is so heavily scripted that you should never be caught out by a phase change or boss jumping away. There is no meaningful randomness in any content that is worth discussing, so you just need to get that muscle memory working for each fight.

Fights are infact so heavily scripted that it is often possible to work out the optimal rotation for that fight in advance, just by knowing the timings. A3S is a good example of this.

This is actually how I remember mine too actually. 321, 123, 12, 312

casting the ninjutsus is just like kakashi



I just do it like Ashbury

456 Suiton
654 Huton
645 Doton
45 Raiton

I like the buttons on my mouse

I would have used this if it was made in 2014. I ended up having reflex memory with my Mudras at this point in time.
