I have to say that was an impressive post, well developed and I have to agree, with all the strenght she has, she could havr used a lot more skills compared to Naruto (his brain goes too fast)

For using more skills than Naruto she should firstly developed her own jutsu.

It's a shame that second smartest character in Naruto's gen simple weaker copy of her teacher

This goes down in my history as one of the most biased threads ive ever seen in my entire life. I agree that she isnt exceptional at CQC, but she is nowhere near as bad as depicted on this thread.

I meant in terms of Sakura alone as she has no Ninjutsu abilities. She is strictly close hand combat to defeat an enemy. In Sakura's case it looks as if that those with higher skill can destroy her, but her regenerative properties save her from defeat.



Could I get some examples? Thanks

Her combat feat are mostly dependent upon her wits
When she fought the sound nin, her timing with the substitution jutsu was exceptional.
When she fought ino she was about to blitzher, and she was faster than her
He reaction speed was good, countered all of ino's attacks.
Her reaction speed with Gaara was great, even though she need possess the strength.
Part two speaks for itself.
IT was a fact that Sasori's battle experience out weighted Sakura, and then Chiyo said that Sakura didn't need her help.
And she was avoiding highspeed attack, just by reading and anticipated his moves.
She blitz Zetsu, who was coming at her quite fast and she was sitting down in a seat.
She avoided Kaguya chakra arms.
Blitz Madara, who was quite fast due to his new found status (only the 8th gated guy could out speed him), though he did stab her.

That wasn't a blitz.

That's because it's spoken language.
You really can't google translate it.

She did not really blitz, but Madara did need to move his arm fast in order to block Sakuras attack. It took some effort at least.

Like what things? Madara was pretty much a god at that point. And for Sakura to get that close was pretty much a positive feat.

E.g. Sasuke getting neg-diffed by Madara or Tobirama getting beat by him. Not a blitz in my eyes but it was certianly low effort.

Now you're just making Sakura seem better. And I have no problem with that.

Yes, her skill and finesse in CQC is not exactly top notch compared to fighters like Gai, Lee, Naruto, Gentle Fist users, etc.

Take Captain America for instance. He's a top tier martial artist and is clearly not physically on the level of Thor or The Hulk, but he's laid the smack down on both of them several times. Technique, panache, and expertise can go a long way.

I dont really think Sakura's bad anyway. Just my two cents. Lol



Trust me, i read it. I just think that Madara stood there like he did with Sasuke.

Eh, so her speed is comparable to Sasuke's lol, I'm gonna milk this.

In the last she actually showed some real taijutsu, but I dont think you take the last as canon.
