So which is it man? Naruto and Sasuke dodging Raikage and Naruto respectively doesn't apply here as they obviously weren't in disadvantageous positions. We have someone who is >= his opponent in speed (according to you) that doesn't dodge or evade when he was in a disadvantageous position because of the speed of the attack.
Lmao I'm 100% convinced you either can't or are choosing to read my posts incorrectly at this point, cause this is happening way too frequently for it to be a simple accident. :lol :lol
-Bold is IRRELEVANT to the claim being made. Bold is to show that dodging someone doesn't mean you are faster. Nothing more, nothing less. Stop trying to connect two unrelated points to make it seem like my argument is faulty. That claim was made because you think that because Neji strikes faster than Sasuke's raw movement speed, that Sasuke can't dodge. :lol
So you've yet to actually address my point here, that your comparisons are flawed because none of your examples cite a person in a disadvantageous position.
In respect to this vs, you've admitted Sasuke being in a disadvantageous position due to a parry would be bad
We've seen parrying an attack comes easy for Neji. And it would be very absurd if you tell me Neji can't parry a linear punch from Sasuke. Hence why i've been asking since the very beginning for notable striking speed feats from Sasuke to show he'll be able to recover from a parried attack of his with a follow up attack faster than Neji can strike him.
-You've yet to show that he can parry Sasuke's attacks easily. You keep mentioning "linear, linear" as if it will change the fact you don't have an argument based on real feats. Sasuke attacking with a regular strike/punch/kick doesn't prove that Neji can easily parry him. Nonsense in it's purest form.
-You keep asking for striking speed feats when amazingly fast striking speed isn't needed, especially when you've yet to actually support your argument, which is ironic because you are over here asking me to support an argument I don't need to make. :lol
I'm not sure what you were trying to show with the scan of 64 palms on Naruto? Because Neji's stance right there is his stance after completing 64 palms. We clearly see when he was going for the final 32 strikes, he was in a spinning motion?
Lmao. Wow. Read the wiki entry where they break down this jutsu, then read the Manga again and see if it clicks cause it really shouldn't be this difficult to read the Manga. That stance is the stance he takes before the last strike. He spun his body around to land 16 strikes, not the last 32. The manga shows it pretty clearly. So does the anime. :lol
Then it shows him thrust himself at Naruto and the last thing you see is him stepping forward, hence the movement lines below his feet, but I'm going to circle them just so you don't try and deny what's right in front of you.

Him moving his body like that adds more speed and power to his strikes. That's a fact.
Bold..lol obviously it isn't for fun :lol Hitting someone like that is definitely going to be causing moving them to move backwards...Neji has to continually catch up blindingly fast to their new position.
And clearly the manga doesn't disagree. We see in the link you posted how multiple hits are done in a single panel lol
And if you'd stop and use logic for just a second you'd realize that there's no indication that multiple hits in a single panel=/=All hits landing at the same exact time. Why are you arguing a claim that you literally can't support? It's ridiculous. 64 palms have been and always will be CONSECUTIVE strikes. Them being fast=/=Them all landing at the same damn time.
You've clearly said Sasuke would parry Neji's strikes before.
And i'm not sure what you mean with the rest of the post because Neji clearly removes himself from Hinata's path, escorts her attack in a direction and follows up with a counter attack. (You must be registered for see links)
Correct me if i'm wrong. But you now seem to agree Parrying is more difficult? So a scan of Sasuke actually parrying an attack should be appropriate?
Lmao. I'm tempted to just copy and paste what I just posted as a response because if you had read that then you'd realize I answered all this right then and there.
-A parry in the sense that I'm referring to is when you ward off an enemy attack with your own attack. No. Dodge. Is. Necessary.
-A parry in the sense you are referring to is where the defender dodges and then guides the enemy attack away. The follow up attack is just that, a follow up attack and irrelevant to actual action of the parry.
I said Sasuke will do the bold. I explained why he, or anyone who can move their fists, can do the bold. I can't make it any simpler than this.
This particular part of this debate started with you asking me to prove parried/dodged attacks will lead to a slight unbalanced state? I did so by showing how characters seem to have stumbled on their footing when their attacks have being dodged or parried because that's simply how motion works. Something you already seem to have known a while ago with the quote of you saying "If Sasuke gets hit like that then it'll be GG..."
No, I asked for proof that MISSED attacks result in a parry because you were saying Neji would dodge Sasuke's attacks and he would stumble. If you meant to say parry, you should've said parry instead of saying dodge because dodging and parrying are obviously not the same things.
- Lee who can use his own speed unlimited never got an upper hand against CE Neji
- lol CE Lee isn't almost as skilled as SRA Neji though. Saying he copied CE Lee's taijutsu doesn't really help here does it?
- Sasuke's movement speed isn't superior to SRA Neji or CE Lee. Sasuke's reactions aren't superior to Neji's.
- Without a doubt. And CE Lee's strength who didn't defeat CE Neji is the same as VoTE Sasuke.
-Against a Neji w/ Gentle Fist. A Lee who doesn't have reaction speed on par with Sasuke.
-When he's using Lee's speed he's obviously faster than Neji. :lol Please don't argue against the Manga.
-Yet overall CE Lee is not as strong as Sasuke, something that has also been addressed.
Perhaps you can help explain what the difference between skill and overall ability is? I'm not understanding exactly what you mean here![]()
-Skill is skill.
-Overall ability is how one does in the actual conflict.
Base Gai is more skilled than Ay III yet Ay III would defeat him because of his physical superiority.
Underlined is actually laughable though. Why won't Neji be able to parry any of Sasuke's strikes?
If you want to continue this argument I suggest you stop asking me to disprove your nonexistent arguments. Where are the feats that let Neji do what you claim he can do? Debates work by you making a claim and then supporting it, not by you making a claim, not supporting it sufficiently or at all and then asking me why you aren't correct.
:lol
As for the rest of the post, i suggest you fully understand the meaning of durability and resilience as they are two different things and Neji moving despite the pain that would have been coursing through his body from having two holes in him is a durability feat.
Lol I'm sorry but this is probably the stupidest thing I've read in your entire posts thus far.
-First you say resilience and durability are different.
-Then you use a resilience feat as a durability feat as if you have any idea what you are talking about.
Neji survived that long because he is resilient. Durability is how much damage you take to begin with. An object ripping through his body with zero effort isn't a durability feat. Do you see people calling Sasuke's Ribcage Susanoo durable because Ay cuts right through it like butter? :lol No.
Those scan's i brought shows stumbling from both parried attacks and dodged attacks.
No, they show stumbling from parried attacks. Even if they did show stumbling from dodged attacks I've already addressed the point of Sasuke stumbling because of a clean miss so bringing it back up without a counter argument isn't helping you here.
Which is literally based on nothing. I suggest you start supporting your claims because frankly your opinions don't matter without evidence. No one's opinions matter without evidence in an argument.It isn't irrelevant though because of the bold. Gentle fist alone isn't enough to bring down first and second gated Lee because gates makes Lee tank the pain from Gentle fist.
It requires Neji pummeling a Lee who is way faster and stronger than VoTE Sasuke. Now Gentle fist is restricted here. But for Neji to have been able to take Lee down, he'll have had to have beaten Lee down is this incorrect? Neji isn't an aggressor and besides his CE self can't keep up with Gated Lee's speed anyway so this implies he beat down Lee with just counter attacking moves. Is this analysis incorrect?

Manga is read from left to right. Gai never said the bold. High speed Taijutsu and High speed combo are two different things (if not he'll have said high speed taijutsu in both) with the secret to beating Neji the High speed combo. High speed combo refers to strikes right?
Are you kidding me? Everything he is talking about there refers to a single thing, Ura Renge. Please don't even try and deny that. He says "Extreme Lotus". Then he says "It (It=Extreme Lotus) is high speed Taijutsu that CAN'T EVEN BE TOUCHED". Then he says "THIS (This=Extreme Lotus, again) high speed combo is the answer to defeating Neji".
How exactly doesn't it matter though when movement speed=/= striking speed meaning reactions to these speeds would be different? You cannot just dismiss it without giving logical reasons.
Before you reply to me again, take a deep breath and read (actually read) what I'm typing, slowly, because this is now the 3rd time you've tried to address a point that no one is making here.
-Sasuke's best feat is reacting to KN1.
-Neji has no feat on that level.
-Thus Sasuke's reaction speed is superior.
Where in the world are you getting all this striking speed and CQC nonsense from when no one is talking about that in this section of the post? EVERYTHING in the above comparison is to prove that Sasuke's reaction speed is superior. Start reading before you reply because this is getting ridiculous.

Can you honestly look at this scan and tell me the panel where Neji completes 64 palms with the remaining 32 hits wasn't done simultaneously in that single panel?
Yes I can, because anyone who reads Manga knows that multiple strikes in one panel=/=All strikes hitting at the same time. All it means is that the strikes are consecutive and fast.
Using the Byakugan’s 360 degrees vision and mapping this vision onto a Divination Hexagram Formation. Then the user will launch a series of high speed combo onto opponent that lies within this formation
Once again, you aren't reading before you reply.
"The user will launch a series of high speed combo onto opponent that lies within formation".
Meaning the user will attack enemies in the formation. Stop trying to invent a meaning that wasn't hinted at in the databook. It reeks of desperation. The DB says that Neji will target the foes inside the circle, not that the foes inside the circle can't escape. "launch onto" doesn't mean "guaranteed hit". :lol
At bold is referring to Sasuke being able to hit Neji which your explanations have failed to prove. Neji's expertise is dodging, deflecting and parrying attacks and i honestly don't remember a single scan where Neji actually blocks an attack. Sasuke will need much more than a linear punch to be able to hit Neji since Sasuke's without a doubt going to be the aggressor here.
No, for 4-5 posts now you've misread my explanations or straight up ignored them and then try to say they are wrong. :lol. Zero counters on your end and anyone reading this debate with unbiased mind will tell you that.
-You've stated that Neji's expertise is dodging, deflecting and parrying, and that Sasuke's attack is linear thus Neji easily parries it and dodges all strikes neg diff, yet you've to prove that Neji's actual physical ability is on the level to do that to someone of Sasuke's level.
I can easily substitue this same weak argument and say:
"Neji should easily parry Madara's strikes because Neji's expertise is dodging, parrying, and deflecting and Madara's attacks are linear" and no one in their right mind would support such an argument because it doesn't take Neji and Madara's physical abilities into account.
Imagine being delusional enough to think that Neji fighting Naruto in a Kunai battle says anything about Neji being able to seamlessly dodge him. Naruto dashed at him from 5-10m and Neji got surprised and couldn't even complete his rotation yet you are actually going to claim that he can seamlessly dodge that same KN0? (With zero proof of course) Let alone KN0 at VoTE. Let alone KN1.Neji was able to avoid getting tagged against those bunch of Naruto clones. (You must be registered for see links)-(You must be registered for see links) Actually, he wasn't even forced into a single block but iirc, Sasuke was forced into one and he was even tagged? This is showing incredible flexibility and cqc maneuvering from Neji. Is KN0 the version Neji fought in CE? Because if so i'm not exactly sure how you can claim Neji couldn't seamlessly dodge him when we have Neji engaging him in what was a brief Kunai battle?
Those daggers were fast. You just keep choosing to ignore it and @bold do cqc fights take place 5m away from each other?
If I used your logic, Neji dodging a bunch of Base Naruto clones=Neji being able to dodge KN0 or KN1. Can CE Neji dodge KN0 and KN1 easily? No, he can't. If you think he can you better bring the feats.
Lmao amazing. The daggers have no speed feats so how are you claiming they are "fast" to begin with? Oh wait, it's bias. Nothing more, nothing less and that's the truth.
And last part is an irrelevant question. Why would they have to take place 5m away from each other to validate the point being made there? The point being made is, Sasuke's dodging feats are far superior to Neji dodging a bunch of featless daggers so stop bringing it up. No one is talking about CQC here. Don't try to deflect the focal point of the argument when you fail to prove your original point.
Lol amazing. Just amazing. A counter attack is when the aggressor is countered by the person he's attacking, but the person uses an ATTACK to counter ATTACK. A child could grasp a concept this basic. When an attack is used doesn't determine whether it's an attack or not so stop using that bad logic.No..a counter attack is a counter attack not a full on attack lol if not there'll be no need for the word counter no? A counter is in response to something. A full on attack is just what it is..an attack. The first person to throw a punch in a fight isn't counter attacking. He is attacking.
My point was an inferior sharingan was able to read Haku's top speed which was his movement from mirror to mirror thing? So why wasn't a superior sharingan able to read a counter attack?
Already addressed this. If Lee can blitz Sasuke but Haku can't, it means that Lee is faster. Haku also being at top speed is baseless as Haku's speed was starting to decrease by the time Sasuke became able to track him. :lol
What? The chronology shows that was clearly a counter attack lol
No shit sherlock. Again, you aren't reading my posts properly. The point is, it being a counter attack doesn't mean that the nature of the movement wasn't an offensive nature.
Lmao..this is totally besides the point. Of course it doesn't change the fact but my question/point is why the sharingan didn't read a counter attack in the first place?
Sasuke was reacting clearly to Lee's attacks before (You must be registered for see links) so why exactly was the Sharingan unable to read a counter attack?
You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links

Another terrible example because then you'd have to show that all those attacks were delivered at the same exact speed. The chronology of an attack only affects how fast someone will react to it, not how fast their vision will pick it up.
Sasuke was able to sidestep Naruto's attacks because of the sharingan. The byakugan can track speed and anticipate attacks. And Neji is more flexible and at that point faster than Sasuke. Are these enough to prove Neji could dodge those linear punches too?
Byakugan is not Sharingan nor does it have precog nor does it give Neji a boost in reaction speed on par with what the 3-Tomoe does for Sasuke as the 3-Tomoe literally lets him see the next move of his opponent. So no, your argument makes no sense and you really shouldn't have tried to make it here unless you are going to argue that Byakugan=Sharingan in reaction speed boost next. :lol
So we should just ignore the fact that portrayal shows you need 64 tenketsu closed to be unable to use chakra (which is what happened with Kido) and Neji is portrayed to have done that faster than Kido who had been falling could hit the ground?
(You must be registered for see links)-(You must be registered for see links)
No, you should stop ignoring chunks of the argument presented to you and start debating with some sense. We've seen how fast Neji does 64 palms ON PANEL. Stop mentioning off panel feats as if you knew what went down off panel.
- Why would Neji need to use rotation for projectiles that aren't fast?
- How exactly would they cover that much area to prevent Neji from jumping out coming from the distance they came from without being fast?
- What Sasuke dodged was a single linear punch coming from distance. What Neji dodged point blank (as they have to get to him before he starts dodging) was multiple fast layered unevenly spread daggers coming from all angles.
-Lol what? Why are you asking me this? Neji STATED that he had to dodge because he couldn't use rotation. Who said that he needed to use rotation to dodge them? Jesus.
-The amount of area they cover due to the number of daggers is irrelevant to their speed.
-This has been addressed. Sasuke can dodge and counter a bunch of Naruto clones yet that same Sasuke got raped by KN0's speed. One man. If your numbers nonsense logic worked then Sasuke would've easily dodged Naruto. Quit making this nonsense argument, it makes zero sense because it ignores speed in favor of numbers. Sasuke dodging KN1 from 5-10m away will forever be a much better feat than Neji dodging featless daggers from further away than that.
@bold lmao..In your words, ''No shit'' lol
That's an observation that needs to be made since you are fond of using logic that only makes sense when you ignore the fact that the author can't depict things like they do in the anime.
That'd be you, with literally every post you make.@underlined looks to me like you're denying what the manga is showing.
Kido launched those daggers from the same location he launched those final arrows
You must be registered for see images
That means the daggers cover the distance i will call X that we see in the top panel here
You must be registered for see images
Cool observation, too bad it says nothing about speed as we've already established. Distance traveled is not speed. The rules of physics will not bend for your argument.
During the previous squabble, Kido launches daggers and we see them in Neji's face in literally the next panel after they were launched
You must be registered for see images
Meaning those set of daggers traveled distance X nigh instantly to be in Neji's face. But you are dismissing that because its a manga with still images? lol dude..
If you were using even a shred of common sense you'd realize that they appeared "nigh instantly" (lol dumbest shit I will probably read all day) in his face because Kishimoto can't illustrate the total travel of those daggers because HIS MANGA IS NOT ANIMATED.
Panel time does not and will not EVER translate to actual time elapsed in the Manga. That's a dumb claim to make, especially in this situation since if I used the logic you were using here, those traps would've traveled a speed close to or faster than that of the final arrow Kidomaru shot, yet Neji can EASILY dodge the traps while he stated he CANNOT dodge the arrow at all.
Your downplay of this feat doesn't seem logical enough too as i just searched a bit on the speed of launched projectiles like bullets and arrows. launched projectiles are fast.
When you did your little google search did you take into account the following...?
-Ninja are MUCH faster than human beings so what is fast to us in our world is 1000% irrelevant.
-Distance is another major factor.
No, I know you didn't. That's why this point doesn't work.
@Italics Well obviously. No one can dodge something they don't see coming. (You must be registered for see links)
:lol
You must be registered for see links
Neji saw it coming because he focused his chakra into his blind spot, so yes, he saw that last arrow coming yet he could not dodge it like he could dodge the other daggers that he detected..
Because the daggers are nowhere near as fast as the arrows. So stop arguing that they are.
Interesting logic. Which means Kido wouldn't have needed a bow to fire that arrow since he could have just used his hand to throw it and use the thread connected to the base from his mouth to manipulate it into Neji's blindspot.
Firing it with his bow and arrow works better than throwing it regardless of whether he can pierce him or not.
Neji could not begin dodging the daggers until they got to him first (You must be registered for see links). Sasuke dodged a single linear punch coming from a distance. These are obviously completely different scenarios.
This entire point has been addressed.
- Underlined.. because Sasuke needs more than one linear punch to be able to hit Neji
- Bold...That someone was coming from a distance..If they engaged in cqc which is what this vs thread is about, then you have a point. Naruto just kept coming and Sasuke kept punting him up-field because of Sharingan's timing not speed.
- Because Neji would be able to dodge, deflect and parry his strikes if he doesn't have any notable striking speed.
-And he landed multiple. As usual you don't make sense here. First you say "he didn't land multiple strikes on Naruto in the same scuffle", but then you say "he needs multiple hits to beat Neji" when those multiple hits don't need to landed one after another. :lol
-He tagged Naruto from a distance? Again, terrible logic. Him reacting to Naruto from a distance is irrelevant to the point being made. On panel and off panel to disable him Sasuke hit Naruto, and Naruto couldn't do anything about these incoming attacks. Naruto getting up close wouldn't have changed a damn thing, he wasn't fast enough, yet you think Neji is?
-Based on literally nothing. I'm STILL waiting for you to prove the claims you make.
Comparisons to a DB 1 Lee who is << SRA Neji in all areas except movement speed and strength.
Sasuke isn't Lee, so another irrelevant point to make since the only thing he benefits from Lee's Taijutsu is his movement speed, which is superior to Neji's.
I never disputed the fact that Sasuke was > than Lee in reaction speed. I said that was the only thing Sasuke was superior in to DB 1 Lee.
Gai didn't say that though did he? He said the key to defeating Neji is the high speed combo.
Lol My god. This has been addressed above.
-You say it means little to nothing yet Gai disagrees. So you can kindly stop arguing against what has been said now. It won't change facts.- Never did
- I never said a single hit from Lee is beating Neji lol. I was using your scenario of light punches to cause Neji to stagger and open to heavier punches. No where did i say a single hit takes Neji out.
- Even though Gentle fist means little to nothing when Lee is in gates?
- VoTE Sasuke is only greater than Lee in reaction speed. How does that make him low compared to Sasuke's level in close combat?
-When using Lee's Taijutsu Sasuke has all of his primary moves, but with far greater reaction speed and equal strength. Doesn't take a genius to realize who is far superior to who when you put two people w/ identical movements and speed against each other while one has far greater reaction speed.
lol figured my use of neg diffing would come back to haunt me. So i retract all my neg diffing claims.
But it's a fact that DB 1 Lee never lost to Neji. My reply back there was because it seems you don't believe Lee would have tried to use gates to defeat Neji. Which wouldn't make much sense as we see him use gates off the bat against Sasuke.
And DB 1 Lee never being able to beat Neji w/ Gentle Fist says nothing about Sasuke beating Neji w/o as Neji is restricted and Sasuke>Lee.
