Second rate CES? That's sounds like a unfair fan made term considering that the CES feat she demonstrated was on par with early part 2 Sakura's CES but I'll take you answer in jest considering that the question I asked you is hypothetical.
And early Part 2 Sakura's is second rate nor were their feats even on par. Sakura in Early PT 2 is superior and has superior feats.
Are you saying early part 2 Sakura's strength was second rate? If so I completely disagree.
I was more so speaking to their base punches or a base cherry blossom impact.
This I'll give you.
This I Won't.
Which feats are you talking about?
Sarada's strength is inferior to Byakugou Sakura and base/Byakugou Tsunade but it isn't second rate compared to Sakura's strength privy to manifesting Byakugou.
Agreed. I think Sarada's performance is going to look extremely poor (for now) since they wouldn't allow her to have the same damage output as Tsunade or Sakura /w Bakugou. For versatility stems, it seems that she's mostly revolving around close combat and shuriken jutsu in between. Even then, her only ninjutsu ability seems to come from a video game which apparently has her throw a fuuma shuriken attached to lightning style. Which isn't that impressive from any stance considering it's a shuriken based attack.
Thats why I emphasized her sharningan being an additional power she can add to the attributes & jutsu you've listed. Sarada's sharningan & it's potential is Sarada's edge, ontaing Byakugou in theory is another.
Well she's supposably very knowledgeable in ninjutsu period or has knowlage of ninjutsu, that in addition having flawless chakra control and the potential to mimic jutsu counters that. Plus Sarada's Taijutsu isn't remotely inferior to boruto in a large quality.. She's proven to be quick on her feet, agile and evasive in base form.
Sarada is not the only female character in this new gen on the plate. You also have to keep in mind that other characters also entered the fray and someone like Himawari and Sumire have as much potential as Sarada. It all depends on how things will play out.
Sarada may have reached her chakra pinnacle to where she can adept her super strength but I don't think her body was trained to react something much like Sasuke was. I mean sure, her sharingan would able compensate by perceiving her opponent movement but I don't think she will able to keep up against fast speed movement like Base Lee for ex. She also lack speed and mobility so her Sharingan wouldn't add much benefit to that.
I am talking about having mid-long range ninjutsu in her assets. Her general knowledge in ninjutsu would put her in advantage in combat. She is shown to be quick and agile given her perception much like Sasuke pre chuunin exam but not in terms of her speed and mobility and her body not being accustomed to reacting but ofc she's not vastly inferior to Boruto.
