About the same I’d wager. Her punch might have caused a bit more damage pre transformation, but afterward she most likely would have fallen as quickly as Kurosutchi did.
Well Sakura wouldn't have landed a hit on Kinshiki like Kurotsuchi did by launching a surprise attack from underground so she isn't causing more damage to Kinshiki.

When did Kurotsuchi dodge a punch from fused Momo?
It was like an added scene in the Boruto anime. Fused Momo took all the kages on in cqc and Kuro evaded his first punch though she was immediately wrecked right after. Could find a gif and edit this later.

Hmm so are anime feats used nowadays?

Even with manga feats, I think Kurotsuchi has better reaction and taijutsu skill than Sakura easily. She was fast enough to physically . Sure he was caught off guard but .

Not to mention Kurotsuchi's body positioning and movement is superior to Sakura's while punching.

lol Not really.. I think this thread was made immediately after that episode in the gif was released and i based my judgement on the episode cause i don't read the manga.

Btw shouldn't distance be accounted for in your example? Looks like Chojuro was farther away from Kinshiki than Kuro was?

What was Sakura's performance against Shin like?

Wasn't making a direct speed comparison between Chojuro's attack and Kuro's but yes you're right. Kurotsuchi dodging fused Momo's punch is very impressive though so if filler feats are used, Kurotsuchi would effortlessly evade and outmaneuver Sakura.

Sakura fares ok against Shin in the speed dept but Shin isn’t Momo.

Well Sakura wouldn't have landed a hit on Kinshiki like Kurotsuchi did by launching a surprise attack from underground so she isn't causing more damage to Kinshiki.
That doesn’t mean she isn’t capable of it. Or maybe Sakura would have used a more effective technique like pick up the ground beneath him and raise it knocking him off kilter for a brief moment giving her a chance to actually get a hit.

Look I know it’s Sakura and any scenario I give that is within her ability will be discredited because it’s simply Sakura, but I don’t honestly feel she would fair any better or worse than Kuro. She might just last longer due to her healing. And she might have kept the other Kages in the game longer with her healing as well. Hard to say as Momo might have targeted her first for that very reason.

Every gamer knows you take out the healer first :bdpf:

In the hand to hand portion of the fight in the anime (filler again lol) Sakura doesn't do to well imo. Shin had the upper hand in the brief squabble and could actually parry her strikes.. and that's different from what i was made to think Sakura could do when it came to cqc. But then again, its filler so i could be wrong.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it would of been exactly the same.

Edit: if byakugo is essentially a jutsu, could momo absorb it if he say, caught a punch? Just curious

Nah, Byakugo is a jutsu but it's just a reserve. The chakra is stored in the seal akin to how a person's natural reserves are & they just keep drawing from it. If Momo can't wipe someone's chakra dry from a single touch, he can't do the same to Byakugo either. CES, maybe, not Byakugo.

Not saying all in one touch, but if chakra is what’s being expelled at the time of the strike he should be able absorb what she has in there until he lets go or is forced to(if it’s active it’s always on no? Isn’t the jutsu affecting her whole body the entire time the seal is active). Not that it’s practical in a group on 1 scenario, I was just curious

It's possible if Sakura keeps pumping chakra towards her hand. It's shown that his absorption is something that's more efficient with direct contact of the chakra or its reserve when he drains from Naruto's stomach, even then, it's still incredibly slow given that Naruto had 50% of his chakra left after being efficiently siphoned for hours. It could be that Sakura could pump so much chakra to her hand that Momoshiki cannot absorb it in the same way he can't absorb punches from Naruto's more vulnerable cloak. But I'd guess it's possible for him to siphon her over the course of days or something if she can't break free.

I searched some gifs and they seemed to be on par. Maybe I overlooked some portion of their fight. Shin was skilled enough to read Sasuke's sword slash and grab his blade so Sakura not being as skilled as him isn't too bad.
