Why is this thought to be slow?

Apparently this technique is slow and anyone can easily dodge it, pretty much what everyone just states without any proper explanation. I dont see how that is possibly given it was only dodged by a very fast snake. So anyone faster than Manda can dodge it, how many characters are faster than Manda?

Katsuyu is a slug and they are known to be slow but she isnt going after someone she is spitting on them and she doesnt spit slow.

Also if you look at the size of the boulder Manda spins off its almost as wide as the end of his tail, the attack covers a wide area so it cannot be simply dodged. Katsuyu wont be spitting at a big snake, she will be spitting at tiny humans who cant outrun such a large amount of acid falling them.

This wont be used at a long range but if someone wants to attack Sakura or Tsunade they have to come by Katsuyu but going near her will be a very bad idea.

Imagine characters running towards that to try and hit Sakura or Tsunade, they will without a doubt be hit by acid trying to get to them.

You act like humans are only limited to dodging by running. Humans have jutsu that they can use to nullify the attack, or make dodging much more viable.

A ground user could bring up a wall of earth to protect them, or go under the ground.
A water user could highly dilute the acid with water making it useless.
wind users could blow it away.
lightning users generally move fast, so they would probably dodge it.
fire users could evaporate it.
There are also other elemental and non-elemental jutsu that could help in this situation.

I never stated it cannot be countered.

Everyone who brings an argument against acid states it is slow, I am arguing that it is not slow.

Lmao, those summonings have like 2-3 times stronger techniques than human.

I agree that it can be countered, I was responding to this "Imagine characters running towards that to try and hit Sakura or Tsunade, they will without a doubt be hit by acid trying to get to them". You said without a doubt, but I guess you mean without them using any jutsu to try and dodge.

I would say its speed isn't slow as well. The speed of manda is just extremely fast. If this move was slow it wouldn't really be very useful in battle.

edit: I'm sorry i don't know why I type can't be, I meant can. though that should have been obvious from my previous post.

Yes it can be countered however it sets up a great opportunity for Sakura to attack, Katsuyu spits her acid and Sakura jumps off to attack, opponents needs to counter acid then deal with Sakura who right there after they counter.

Some people are just ignorant and can't put 2 and 2 together. Just like they think Hashirama is slow even though he ran from the freaking Kyubi and put a good gap in between Lol

mandaʻs not faster than the shunshin of kage level shinobi, and heʻs an enormous target.

I wouldnʻt say katsuyaʻs acid is slow, but itʻs not all that fast either.

Yes, Katsuya acid spit is very fast and it plausible

It similar to this act in our world

which means that itʻs not all that fast. If standard kages can move faster than manda and they are like 1/1000th the size of him, jounins are going to be able to casually evade the attack if they are on the defensive.
You are simply not understanding the thread. Manda is faster than alot of characters I would love to see jounins outrun him, he makes up for his largeness with his speed so his largeness only shows how how much of an area the acid hits.

army like its nothing. Snakes can slither quickly through anything however tiny humans cannot.
