How is Sakura Slow?

[Claymantan]

And im not saying she is the fastest but, The Sasori fight, And her speed feat during the war proves that she is pretty fast.
Given her fighting skills, she is a pretty deadly close quarters fighter,
people seem to think that she can be easily dodge, and in all honestly Sasuke and Naruto are maybe the only people who can.

Body speed, strike speed, and movement speed aren't the same thing. Sakura has a great shunshin and has great movement speed, but she never really does anything but make single strikes. She can dodge pretty well, as demonstrated against Sasori, so she has good body speed, but her strike speed probably leaves something to be desired. So dodging her attacks isn't really all that out of the question.

When she punched the ZEtsu and the Jubbi clone that was prettty fast

And she was sitting down with Zetsu

Yeah but neither of those have good reaction feats, and the Juubi clone was at a distance that most of these characters who rely on CQC could blitz (show me the scan though, because I don't remember perfectly).

Sakura's base reflexes seem to match Naruto and Sasuke's as she was able to dodge Kaguyas chakra arms though.
And I understand what you are saying, but all of that changes, like in the beginning of the series
Naruto was Yang Earth
Sakura was Yin Heaven
And Sasuke was both

Seriously, where do you get this from?

Wow!
So people like rocklee cant dodge her??
What about shikamaru? He doesn't even need speed feats to catch her lol.
What about kakashi? He spared with minato as kid and is one of the fastest non taijutsu character.
Bee? Or A??? Darui?
What kind of pot are you smoking?

From the fanfiction section.

 

[TenseiganFTW]

Even in Part1
Her blitzing speed was great(have scans)
In this entire manga, she only ever have gotten hit when she wanted to.
Intentionally tanking attacks.

Naruto and Sasuke being an exception during their brief encounters, only because she was emotional and wasnt willing to hurt them.

What o/ther character can you say this for?
I'll wait

Lol...
Chiyo protected her from Sasori.

again propelling yourself and speed are two separate things

if she can constantly change her direction while maintaining said speed or do it in rapid succession then yes that is called speed

 

[Obito the supreme jin]

Sakura was avoiding Sasori before Byakugou
And Sakura dodging KAguya arms,
Moving Obito from Acid Spray
And Blitz 100 + Jubbi clones was all in base form not byakugou.

Sakura avoided Sasori's poisonous spikes because Chiyo controlled her with the chakra strings.

I wouldn't say blitzed because I didn't see Sakura blatantly blitzing Sasori. She moved at an average pace to knock down his Iron Sand attacks.

@ all the others, those are strength feats not speed feat feats except for the chakra arms which proved my point when I said that Byagoku increased her speed.

INo speed was higher than Sakura accoding to Databook
And sakura only got kicked because Sai was suppose to take care of him,

I don't exactly remember their speed stats. What were the numbers exactly?

Sounds like you are making an excuse for why Omoi kicked her Femme.

 

[Nick01]

Really then a 10 tails needle is faster then Sakura

also a flying rock is faster then Sakura

and Kabuto's butt


Now we look at those examples and we see what other characters did in those scenarios and we have Hyugas being faster then Sakura, Kakashi, etc...


then we have Guy and Lee, etc...


So basically Sakura is fast in a non specialized ninja way

faster then your average ninja

congrats... applause

[baul 24]

Yeah faster than fodder ninja

 

[Livenojutsu]

Sakuras speed is normal but she can speed up by using chakra in her feet like she did with ino.I wonder if it is a shunshin.

 

[InfiniteMugen]

I was gonna seriously answer until I read the line about she's only been hit when she wanted to be your threads not even worth a serious response
