What's the strongest opponent adult Shikamaru could defeat?

[Pappasaur]

He has full Intel, full prep time, and it can be any person from any point in the series. We saw him as a 16 year old take down an S-Class criminal almost single handedly and he planned just about everything that happened through the entire fight, so I'm curious to see what you all think his max potential is after he's refined his skills and tacts over the years

if he has intel and prep time, almost anyone as long as they dont have god tier power ups, advanced genjutsu techniques, or some crazy orochimaru tech
if you give him enough time i think he could take anyone from the original konaha 11 besides naruto and sasuke

 

[Sir Blades]

Temari's vagina.

 

[LoZelda101]

well if he had intel he wouldn't be fighting alone :lol

 

[CloyEscapade]

Pre time skip kabuto

I don't always show back up on the forums, but when I do it's to post on Shikamaru threads.

This :sdo:

...

Kaguya.

IMO, Shikamaru's fighting style doesn't have enough power, on its own, to ever defeat an A-class opponent. He won't defeat the likes of Deidara or Hebi Sasuke unless he's playing support for someone with more destructive power.

 

[Melanin]

He can take a Kage.

How did you understand that I was joking ?
When you see "Hinata" in my posts , that post is a big lie ...
For the real answer ; Sakura , Naruto , Sasuke and Lee can beat Shikamaru ...

Sakura and Neji take him out though...

 

[Asmin]

Hidan and Deidara - but only because they are stupid.

I'm not sure who is stronger, though.

 

[Darth AniCetuS]

Sasuke....

Spoiler

Jk Jk.

Sakura and Neji take him out though...

if he has enough time to form a plan no they dont. he specializes in strategizing and sakura and neji are fairly easy to read through and form a plan against.

 

[DIzmiz01]

People are overrating how effective battle tactics are, tactics are only as powerful as the operator using them, SHikamaru can make a plan for almost any Kage level to beat someone else but saying he could beat 6th gate or 7th gate lee is like saying any strategy he made for the 5 cage would have beaten madara lol he doesn't have the power behind his tactics

Neji has kaiten and has Bykaugan allowing him to see through most of his tactics and one strike and Shikamaru is out, Sakura is extremely smart and knows how to counter tactics and if she was to get caught Shika dosen't have enough firepower to actually kill her if Byakugo is activated.
