On the HL engine? o_0
I'd say the battle system looks better than ESF's, but I'd put them in different categories since both are awesome so far.

As for the looks it looks amazing for it's engine.

Great work guys, amazing as always :)

More characters are planned already. We're just doing the basics in our first release so when thats solid we can focus on additional things like more playable characters and such.

Out of the 80 some odd updates I've gotten today, this one excites me the most. I can't wait to get my hands on this. There is, however, one thing that bothered me; I think the blood decals should be reduced in size between 30-50%. At the moment they look too large.

Regardless, keep up the good work!

Yeah, we're still using the old HL blood decals. We just havn't got around to replacing them yet we've been so busy working on other features. Don't worry! Blood will look just as good when we're done!

WOW, I've never been into Naruto nearly as much as DragonBall Z, but I MUST say, the fighting system looks absolutely jaw-dropping, especially for the Half-Life engine, by the way, is the motion blur just video editing or is it actually in the game?

The majority of the updates still come out on time on Fridays. Sometimes because of our personal lives we can't get them to you on those days. It's still a Friday Update, and we'll do our best to get them to you every Friday or as soon as possible soon after.

Or we could just call it weekend update and wait till Sundays to update when we feel lazy. But I don't think you guys want that.

Looks good.
But:
When standing on the wall, view is rotated to match the character.
But when standing on the ceiling, upside down, why is the view not flipped then? I'd also like it flipped there as well then.

The view is always rotated accordingly to your character. There is a scene in the beginning of the movie that shows it. The later one was most likely recorded in spectator view.
