Hinata due to her long-mid rage attack's and chakra sealing juuken wich is very to Sakuras disadvantage.
Pretty sure Sakura also has mid ranged attacks such as poisoned kunais and sleep gas bombs.
Hinata can dodge and is a lot faster in hand-to-hand combat. Also, one shot to the stomach or if Sakura gets stuck in 64-Trigrams then Sakura's screwed.
Hinata doesn't have 64 Trigrams unless you are talking about the filler anime episode.
'' their speed is pretty much the same ''
Really ? You mean a Hyuga, skilled at jyuken has the same speed as sakura ? In what alternate narutoverse..
''Still, I would give the edge to Sakura becuase shes more intelligent and analytical than Hinata.'' - when has sakura diplayed any level of intelligence ? She's skilled at medical ninjutsu no doubt. But analytical skills.. Part 1, she did nothin but says sasuke's name a lot in her head. Part 2, She tried to make a fool out of naruto in the kage summit arc
Sakura has displayed high levels of intelligence during the written exam portion of the test and during her fight with Sasori and Tobi.
OT: Sakura wins because one punch from her means death. It takes at least a dozen hits from Hinata to wound Sakura which is not true in anyway for Sakura who can one shot Hinata easily. Good luck Hinata in trying to get close to Sakura to seal her chakra points while Sakura punches you out of commission.
As for the people who think vacuum palm will result in Hinata's victory since she has a range advantage. Well Sakura can smash the ground destabilizing Hinata's footing, throw sleeping gas bombs which will put Hinata to sleep or poisoned kunais which will eventually paralyse Hinata.
Sakura also has better stats in the data book so it is obvious who Kishi thinks is the superior kunoichi.
