Young Sasuke

Bring young Sasuke to Risk of Rain 2 with Lion’s Barrage, Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, a chargeable Chidori, and a Curse Mark power-up. Includes his original blue outfit and black Chunin Exams outfit.

This is my first mod and a project I’ve wanted to make for a long time. I used AI extensively throughout development, directing and refining the model, animations, and gameplay through repeated in-game playtests. It’s an early release, and I’m continuing to learn and improve it. Specific feedback on bugs, balance, and animations is welcome.

Abilities

• Lion’s Barrage: Hold Primary to chain a left punch, rising kick, and flipping heel strike. Works on the ground and in the air. Default damage: 250% / 300% / 450%.
• Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu: Form hand signs and launch an explosive fireball along your aim. Default damage: 1400%, 11m explosion radius, 8-second cooldown. Includes casting voice and a flame blast at impact.
• Chidori: Hold Utility (default Shift) to charge; release to carry the charge while moving. Press Utility again to cancel. Full charge takes 3 seconds and increases damage from 500% to 4500%. Carry grants +120% movement speed. Contact resolves one electrical impact with a 4.5m blast. Other attacks are blocked during carry. By default the 10-second cooldown begins after the action ends.
• Curse Mark: Sharingan: Empower yourself for 30 seconds, gaining +35% damage and +30% movement speed. Fireball gains an additional 1.3x damage and 1.4x blast radius. Fully charged Chidori gains a 9m purple blast. The active Sharingan buff icon shows remaining duration. Default cooldown: 60 seconds.

Values above are the bundled defaults. Existing configuration overrides can change them; in-game skill descriptions reflect loaded tuning.

Installation

Install with r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager and allow the listed dependencies to install. Select Young Sasuke in character selection; choose Original or Chunin Exams in the loadout.

If upgrading from a private test build, remove or move its old YoungSasuke plugin folder outside BepInEx/plugins before installing this package. Do not leave two copies of HenryMod.dll for Young Sasuke enabled. The internal DLL name remains HenryMod.dll for compatibility with this build.

Manual installation: install the manifest dependencies, then place the included plugins/YoungSasuke folder inside your profile's BepInEx/plugins directory. Keep the DLL, AssetBundles, and Assets together. Launch Start modded in the manager.

Configuration is generated as BepInEx/config/local.henry.YoungSasuke.cfg. Restart after configuration changes.

Included

• Original model, both costumes, animations, and runtime textures.
• Three-hit primary combo, Fireball, charge/carry Chidori, and timed Curse Mark.
• Double jump, falling and death presentation, ninja sprint, icons, and supplied voice/effect recordings.
• Corrected sprint sole orientation and connected forward posture from RC02, plus Fireball impact audio from RC03.

Current limitations

• Tested in local-host play on Risk of Rain 2 1.5.0. Remote multiplayer has not been verified. All participants must use the same mod version; multiplayer support is not certified.
• Sprint is an in-place animation without terrain-adaptive foot locking; slopes and sharp turns can show sliding.
• The tested dependency set reports R2API/game-build and legacy SkinDef warnings. A fresh minimal-dependency profile has not yet been playtested. Compatibility with every other mod is not guaranteed.
• Balance is early and feedback is welcome.
