i dont hate her, she did a great job in the war and she improved ofc in every area, but her punch is still avoidable and she is not that fast.

Right she isnt a quick combatant. She is more of a power kill fighter.
if we are talking about speed and agility, Hinata and Lee are the ones who need it...

Sakura is classified under power taijutsu users. Killer one hits..
speed is for combo moves.

Nonetheless Sakura needs decent reaction time too. She is a medoc afterall and evasiveness is a must for medics.

It's probably other way around, she is not given credits even for ones that she deserved .

She's not fast as Sasuke or Naruto but she have a stronger punch than both of them and in that scan, she calculated that jump pretty well though .

Stronger punches? She admitted inferiority.

Yep ! your quotes surely proves it right ? even if she admitted inferiority or not and In Naruto there's only few female characters that's powerful than male characters maybe only Kaguya .

what makes you think such bs ?
how will she land a hit on kakashi when the latter is multiple times faster than her ?
how will she dodge a beast runner or raiton kunai when she is in air ?
when her head is cut off her byakogu is useless sorry she looses med diff.

- character portrayal, feats and overall abilities
- I hope you know the speed isn't the only factor in a battle. We've seen slow characters hitting fast ones multiple times in this manga ( Tsunade hitting Madara and his clones, Hidan hitting Asuma and Kakashi, Konohamaru blitzing Pain, Hinata keeping up with Neji, etc, etc, etc

While I admit Sakura is slower than Kakashi, her incredible reaction time will compensate for it. She can dodge some of Kakashi's long ranged attacks easily and she detect Kakashi's clones by punching the ground and oneshotting them. She doesn't have to directly hit her enemies because the energy created by the shockwaves of her punches is strong enough to cripple- if not kill them.

What makes you think she will be in air when that happens? She is smart and she can exploit the weakness of her enemies in no time, as seen when she was able to analyze Sasori's fighting style, or when she was able to analyze Obito's Kamui circa 150 chapters before Kakashi did.

The 'cuts her head' off is an overused argument. There is no one in this manga who tried to kill a regeneration user by decapitating them. Smart ninjas like Orochimaru and Madara just kept stabbing and tried burning Tsunade instead of decapitating her. Same goes for Sakura when Madara stabbed her chest instead of destroying her head.

Not to mention Sakura can use her limbs or her summon to protect her head.

When? Probably I missed something. Naruto's punch wasn't strong enough to damage Kaguya's face, unlike Sakura's who broke her horn. Besides Sakura, 8th gated Guy was the only one who was able to physically damage a Juubi jin.

Tsunade was not alone against madara and the latter played with the kages, his clones used susanno which made them slow, hidan isn't slower than asuma and Kakashi, speed and taijutsu/reaction time are the areas where hidan is well rounded, konohamaru used a clone feint for an opening, he doesn't blitzed him he attacked him from behind, neji played with her.

you said she is above kakashis level ? Kakashi has far better reflexes than sakura, he saved her one eyed without the sharingan from sasukes chidori, a fast stab which was grabbed by kakashi like nothing.
incredible reaction time ??
??
Beast runner was about to blitz deva pain, the one who ran away of 6 tailed naruto with speed. Sakura isn't dodging the dog, she gets paralyzed which gives kakashi an opening to cut her head off.
Kakashi won't use clones underground since he is aware of sakuras shanaro.
Instead he will create 2 shadow clones who will spam beast runners, sakura isn't dodging all of them, i don't even think he can dodge the first beast runner.

because she often jumps for a hit, in mid air she is delicately against long range jutsus.
her intelligence is good, but kakashis battle tactics are above hers, no discussion.
Kakashi has no real weakness, now that his chakra is more than fine, thats the problem for sakura, with his current resources of chakra kakashi can spam his long range jutsus and together with clones he can fire multiple jutsus at the same time (suiton+raiton combination)

like i said above, madara played with her, orochimaru didnt had enough strength to cut her with his mouth because his arms were sealed. Unlike zabuza who cut gatos head with a kunai, kakashis strength has improved since he used zabuzas blade with one hand like the original user, with a ration kunai he can cut through anything of sakuras body.
Madara noticed that sakura has byakogu after he stabbed her...

Nothing to say to you If you cant tell between a trolll and a fan .

Sakura punch can be easily dodged by many characters, but it can't be tanked (if even kaguya couldn't)

the problem is the ones who wank sakura this much aren't trying to troll, they are serious.

thanks for your honest opinion, yeah a direct punch is a sure kill to many characters, i have no problem with this.

Temari is perceived as Jounin level, Sakura as Kage level weather people like it or not. I agree Temari could maybe take it because of certain Wind Jutsu, but it's debatable.

Sakura is kage level? So she can challenge Onoki? xD

I don't think Sakura is overrated. Just think she is hyped up more than the quality of character she is. Realistically, she is nothing but a average character.

Sakura's the God the NV deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

I generalized the level. Whenever she goes to show off Kishi trolls her char thus she is lacking in feats for the most part. But, no; I doubt that she could take on Onoki. She might put up an alright battle as she is intelligent despite what people say and when they use the Sasuke argument. Kishi's words. Sakura > Deadlock Tsunade whom was Kage level. I would wager that current Sakura could beat Part 1 Orochimaru that took on Sandaime, without Edo's though.
