The scenarios favored him. Before this point, Sarada hadn't even fought someone as potent as Shin. Goes to show they don't want her stated potential reflected.
That's not really an argument. I can't use "those scenes favored someone" as a counter. It's either a fact from some kind of material we are talking about, or an opinion to form a conclusion. I'm just insinuating that as for as intelligence goes, it's not that far apart based on feats themselves. Though granted I know Sarada is more of the book type than Boruto. But he's not stupid, and his battle intelligence is pretty moderate so far.
Coupled with how she might be a tactical fighter like Sasuke as an Uchiha, she's going to be quite potent.
I think we should await some feats first, I think she'll be a mix or more Sakura dominant like she's shown thus far. She's really smart when it comes to knowledge and information. Like Sakura was back in Part 1 and 2 when she was teaching Naruto things lol.
The fact you even doubt her intelligence in comparison to Boruto's kind of shows how the writers aren't executing the story correctly.
When did I doubt her intelligence? Just going off feats.
Also the reason why we're so impressed with Boruto so far is how he's shown to be more talented when put beside Naruto. He's already showing better use with Shadow clones than Naruto had in all of part 1. So essentially, we've only merely seen Boruto in comparison to his father since he hasn't branched out yet. Just shown what he could do with his father's techniques.
He's okay. Boruto is more talented than his father, but he's not as strong as him at the same age. Granted I'm talking about Chunin Exam Naruto (against Neji and so forth).
He's not so great, just has a knack for it. At least that's what Shino stated.
Having a knack for something means your good at it. Considering he didn't use Shino's formula to solve a math equation, and used his own formula. I'd say that's greatness.
But that's just me.
Same reason why we thought Naruto wasn't intelligence back in part 1. He forgot some of the details of the missions, and tended to forget instructions generally.
I don't remember Naruto paying attention to details for missions, but I'm arguing for Boruto. The Manga made it clear that he wasn't paying attention because he was worried about his seal, hence the flash back. That's not a testament to someone's brain smarts.
But you just seem to think speed is everything. Like it should be over for Sarada if she isn't shown to be as fast, and not to mention, Sharingan should compensate, and don't tell me about how it's suppose to be garbage and useless, Indra, it still gives her an improved perception, and as far as I can remember, the Sharingan slows down the enemy's movements. Clones may provide Boruto some counter, but clones aren't exactly all that helpful since they deteriorate the user's chakra. They're much slower and more easy to take out anyways. Sarada should manage if she's not even far behind in Dexterity.
Speed is everything when it comes to debates. If a character is faster than another, then the odds are usually in their favor most times. I never once said that speed alone was the victor, there's definitely more variables. Considering Sarada's lack of versatility plays here, and Boruto's move-set is still growing. The Sharingan should help with tracking movements, but when we are talking about the 1T (and even the 2T was shown to suck against faster opponents than Sasuke - In example Rock Lee's first fight with Sasuke). It's just a matter of perspective though.
If you actually go back to VoTe2 after the TBBFRS v. Indra Arrow Clash, you'll see that Kishimoto informed the reader that a 3T Sasuke (w/o the Rinnegan active) = Base Naruto with shadow clones in terms of CQC.
Now Boruto's CQC has been shown to be slightly better, slightly. Boruto is faster than Sarada. And Boruto has shadow clones. So you can see how this would be a hard match up. in her favor. Granted I'm sorry if I only made it seem as if speed was the only factor, but its definitely more important. That's why Shikamaru can't stand up to Sasuke, or why Sakura with all that power can't even fight Naruto.
I'll have to read the manga to ascertain that. I skimmed over it the last time I did. It didn't spark my interest.
Just ask for VIZ if you need it.
