I understand why you would think she is more well rounded than A but i think she is the same however as A is a one trick pony she is not she has many jutsu that she uses for a variety of effects however her battle tactics seem to be stand in one place and spam her jutsu whereas all A does is run around using his taijutsu to beat opponents so they both have their weaknesess, i would also say i do not think mei has good taijutsu skills as getting up close to an opponent and engaging in some taijutsu and then disengaging and using her impressive ninjutsu would be more effective considering her jutsu speed. My point is that they all have their strenths a weaknesses, its how they use them that makes the difference and so far mei has used hers pretty well
That's the problem though. Mei doesn't do that, she actively runs around and combines her techniques and uses her massive array of Lava, boil release, water release and the clearly available Katon and Doton to attack her opponents. Like the OP said which I can't replicate the quality of the post, Mei used amazing water dragons in conjunction to stop Madara's haxed fire jutsus and attacked, she actively ran and used mist to cloud up the rinnegan as she was shooting lava globs and creating a lake.
A actually
is very straightforward and charges into battle and has a very linear/straightforward way of fighting and
solely uses taijutsu. But yeah I'd agree iwht the last part lol.
I agree stats for a kage should be higher but if you take into account her skills and how she uses them, i dont think she needs high stats in all areas for example hiddedn mist pretty much takes care of genjutsu and her ninjutsu is incredibly strong and fast thanks to her high stats in seals. So even if taijutsu is her weakness if an opponent cannot get near her then she has no problem however like i said she is weak in certain areas but makes use of what she has well enough to become a kage in her village. Perhaps if she was in the hidden leaf she would not have gained that rank as there are plenty of poweful ninja
Even Lee has a 22, and he has a .5 in ninjutsu, 1 in genjutsu, 2 in intelligence. He's basicallyt maxed in everything else, so like I said it's probably not best to look at the totals, and even when 3 categories are completely bombed for Lee he's still fairly high. Neji also has a 27 for one.
If you take into account her skills and how she uses them like you said, then like
I said she should be where OP puts her. I would go more into it myself but the OP already explained it perfectly in every category so I can't do too much else. Tsunade for example has never used or shown form of genjutsu yet stil has 3.5 in it, most basic ninja know the basics about these things. She might not be a kage in Konoha per se, but she's faring extremely well with the kages thus far and keeping up with them no problem.
Everyone is entiteled to their opinion i do not think Megans opinion is incorrect. Its an asumption just as im assuming she does not have good taijutsu skills. I believe even if she has stats of 27 it dosent make her a weaker kage. Im saying yes she is kage level however when compared to the other kage she does seem pretty weak and there is no denying that
I think compared to the other kage she seems very formidable, powerful, well rounded, versatile and deadly, so there is some denying that. I'm preeeetyy sure that's what the whole argument is about, since she 'is so much weaker' in comparison to the other kages. Taijutsu skill or not, like I said with genjutsu most ninja know the basics of these things, and Mei isn't a kage for no reason.
3.0 is a very fair ranking for her basic taijutsu, which is what the other poster in this thread gave her. Even if that were true her points would only go down .5 and she would still be a 31. Unless she bombs all other stats(which you gave her a hefty amount of credit for every other stat other than taijutsu) then even unless she had a straight 0 in taijutsu she'd be up there. She obviouslt wouldn't be that low lol, but still. She's
faaaaar from looking weak in comparison to the kages.
If you really want to argue specific categories with me like we're starting to get into, it's probably not the best option since you should take it up with Megan, since she went through in detail with every category.
