the are both smart but in the end shikamaru will dominate nejishikamaru he's smarter and he became the first jounin.
I agree that Shikamaru is smarter but Neji is smart himself and should be able to hold his ground. Most of the former Konohagakure Genin became Chuunin over the timeskip while Neji was the only one to become a Jounin. Shikamaru is still a Chuunin and Neji is a Jounin so that and a few other factors make me believe that Neji has potential in a fight against Shikamaru and wouldn't flat out lose.shikamaru he's smarter and he became the first jounin.
nuff saidi think that shikamaru will come with the best plan ever and defeat neji but in the end he will just give up xd
shikamaru was first to chunin, neji is currently the only original 12 to be a jonin. shikamaru may be cool and all but neji completely outmatches him.shikamaru he's smarter and he became the first jounin.
trufaxObviously, Neji will win he's more powerful and he was the only Konoha genin to become jounin over the timeskip.
not true at all. in order for shikamaru to use the shadows he can not move until a connection is made. simple opening that im more than positive neji would pick up on.it would have to be a taijutsu fight basically since neji doesnt use any ninjutsu(he might have one), and when he comes near,shika will use his shadows. the byakugan isnt much usefull in a battle like this and i m pretty sure they will find they way to read their moves .
Exactly. A perfect opinion. Shikamaru would have to struggle for a while and possibly take some damage before he manages to get Neji. In this situation, the Jyuuken is useless against Shika.

A perfectly wrong opinion. Becoming a Jounin does no auto mean you can defeat anyone who isn't Jounin. A perfect example would be Shika [ Chuunin ] defeating Hidan [ S-Class, which is higher than Jounin ]shikamaru was first to chunin, neji is currently the only original 12 to be a jonin. shikamaru may be cool and all but neji completely outmatches him.

Shikamaru can move O_O If Neji air palms him, he can roll to the side and get his shadow while Neji is landing. The only time he cannot move is if the shadow has already connected with the opponent. Also, air palm ain't some death giving move. Shika could even take the air palm, and then continue to extend the shadow, grabbing Neji as he lands. Checkmate.not true at all. in order for shikamaru to use the shadows he can not move until a connection is made. simple opening that im more than positive neji would pick up on.
neji solution: jump + air palm to stationary shikamaru.
I dont think so , we hav seen shikamaru's growth with time skip in hidan battle arc , but we haven't seen Neji's growth .. He became a jounin for sumthing .. i know shikamaru is also jounin rank ( he didn't get it coz he is too lazy ) .. and I also think that Neji's tech WILL work against shika ..Exactly.

How ? Each time he comes near to use the Jyuuken, he runs the risk of being caught by Kagemane.I dont think so , we hav seen shikamaru's growth with time skip in hidan battle arc , but we haven't seen Neji's growth ..
