Not to mention the area destroyed by CBI isn't that large. At best, it's some 7 m in front of her and about 2 to 3 meters to the side. Considering the whole alliance jumped some 80 m in Chapter 611, including Hinata, I can't express enough how much of a non-issue this is.

Nor is it unpredictable, considering Sakura has to lunge to a NOTICEABLE degree backwards in order to use it first, so anyone can see it coming.

Heck, this lunging back VISIBLY leaves her wide open for an Air Palm blast to the head, just as her attempting to punch Karui left her open for a counter by Omoi. I don't mean to bash when I say this, but we are time and time again shown how her attacks are predictable, repetitive, and leave her open to get countered.
And Hinata is easily taking advantage of those with her Air Palm, Rikudo Chakra, 64 Palms, and general expertise in taijutsu and superior reflexes.
Even when she's punching, she always takes the same pose, more or less. Scans provided if needed.
Doesn't change the fact that Naruto and Sasuke attacked first and Sakura sneaked(like the coward she is) on a god that has 360 degree field vision and was fully distracted by the two with the seals(the 'only' danger present for her).

Hinata > Suckera in every possible aspect. Keep on with facts and I'll keep on to my sorry ass delusion. :lol
Doesn't change the fact that they all attacked at the same time and Sakura sneaked on a god that has 360 degree field vision and, differently from Hinata, actually knows how to use the Byakugan to it's full extent.
Besides, It was stated that the newer generation surpasses the older, meaning Sakura surpassed Tsunade, which makes her at least(!) Kage level if not much stronger. She can pretty much destroy small mountains and is invincible with Byakugou.
Not a weakness that Sakura can exploit nor is it a weakness that will cost her the battle. This is like saying Sakura not having the Body Derangement tech is a weakness that will cause her to lose.
At close range Sakura doesnt even need to hit that hard to destroy Hinata low diff
There is no attention to detail around her hand. If you're referring to those little lines, those are all along the side of her left as well. So idk what you mean by this. There is nothing at all in that panel to suggest she's releasing Air Palm.
Fact is, Hinata struck the pose first, with her arm extended already, then released Air Palm in the next panel.
Even with Kaguya's Vacuum Attack, which at it's most basic, is essentially just a Vacuum Palm w/ shape manipulation to change the Chakra into fists, we see her extend her arm forward and launch her vacuum shockwaves independently of this.
You keep saying she can anticipate it by watching Hinata thrust her arm even though she hasn't shown any such skill iirc.
But suppose this is true. Even if I accept what you're saying, again, what CQC reflexes does Sakura have to say she would dodge something with such a wide AOE (covered the Juubi's whole palm)?
The Air Palm is invisible at that and was fast enough to intercept the Juubi's hand, which was being aimed at Bijuu Naruto, yet Hinata's Air Palm managed to intercept and connect with it mid-tail swing.
What? Sakura simply reacted to her surroundings or became attentive to it.
I said feats at close range. I don't think I need to tell you that reacting to something from far away isn't the same from doing it close. The closer something is, the harder it is to avoid it. This logic literally applies to real life, so I don't see why I need to explain this. It is a good speed feat however, I'll admit that.
Second spoiler...
Neither Sakura nor Obito expected acid to start pouring out and by the time they realized what was happening, the acid had already started to pour out. The portal was only about 3 m away from them and by the time the acid started pouring out, the distance between the acid and the duo was only 2 m. At this point, Sakura didn't even have her hands on Obito but she managed to grab him, turn around and leap out of the way all the while only getting grazed by the acid. She performed multiple tasks in a split second which gives her nice reaction.
You can see in the middle right panels the acid is flowing out already and has already hit the ground, Obito is even looking DOWN at what is likely a pool of acid in front of him. So this isn't about Sakura reacting to the acid before it can fall on Obito. It was already falling out and landing on the sand with Obito even looking down on it. All Sakura did was take Obito to a safer distance.
He wasn't combating anyone when neji struck but lee blocked his attack on Gai? Thats combat dear.
Of course he was, he was combating Gai and Lee.
It makes since he didn't realize that Neji's attack was coming.
Lee blocked him, the Kisame landed on the water. At that point, he wasn't fighting anyone. That's when Neji blasted him. And yet Kisame failed to dodge or even anticipate it despite having a clear view of Neji.
DB said he was already flying backwards before he could even tell he was hit. So even if I do accept your argument, the DB quote still means the attack was fast enough to catch Kisame before he could even tell what was happening.
Sakura disclosed Kakashi's hiddden position meters away by simply striking the ground. The shock wave produced by her strength traveled in front of her.

The shock wave produced by her strength did the same thing in the boruto movie.
O...okay? What does this have to do with what I said? I said:
Until this is shown to be a legitimate threat to anyone, it's nothing but conjecture. Again, these people were fighting just fine on a ruined battle field.
Because she wasn't in the line of the attack.

As you can see the destruction of their home happened directly left of them or the shock wave traveled to their left.
She's standing on cracked ground, she was within range. She even lifted her arms up and was like a meter away from Sakura when she punched the ground. The house collapsed due to the ground being unstable and torn apart, not from the impact itself DIRECTLY.
They even had a whole conversation before the house broke down, so it couldn't have been the shock wave/impact of CBI

Lol this is "conjecture" by definition, There's no reason for Hinata to be unable to, say, hold up her arm up like a sort of gun or cannon
Sakura's CBI hasn't been shown to have gotten stronger or greater since, so until it does, these do in fact still apply, as does the fact that she lunges back and leaves herself open. And jumping in the air to build momentum isn't the same thing. Not to mention in Gaiden, she punched the ground without jumping and it wasn't much different.
This topic is played TF out, Sakura surpassed Tsunade Senju while Hinata still gets solo'd by Neji. Sakura is faster, stronger, smarter, has a legendary summon and out ranks Hinata.
The impact of what? Grounded CBI has a very small range of 7 m forward and 6 m sideways. We saw the whole alliance jump way greater than that. Airborne CBI gets intercepted by Air Palm and Sakura would get knocked out cold or even if Sakura does land, it can be avoided by jumping super high, as shown in 611.
Depends on your perspective. Haven't read the thread but there's bound to be a few Hyuuga fanfics thrown around. I have realised the best way to deal with the Hyuuga fans is to just not reply. Can't argue with fan fiction and as you can see we reached 10 pages without any resolution. I have seen posts like MS=Byakugan which is when I realised never take a Hyuuga fan seriously. Femme and Itachi fans know they are being hilarious when they enter into debates but when it comes to the Hyuuga fans I fear they actually believe most of the bullshit they spout.
Sakura fanfics thrown around this thread. She ain't got Naruto or Sasuke of even Kakashi helping her, so the plot no jutsu shit she did to Kaguya ain't going to work here. Close combat she's loosing to Hinata easy there's no debate in that. Last I checked Sakura doesn't have long range attacks but Hinata does. Hmmmm what else is there? Yes her Byakugo Closing her tenketsus should do the trick (that is if she tries for CQC), let's see her try and heal herself or do her strength technique without chakra.
