If you want, I'll make a thread on this subject to see what others have to say. You might actually be right.
Feel free too, but I don't believe in public consensus unless logical arguments are put on the table, which I have seen very little of on this forum. From my short experience here, the majority of people are unwilling to change their opinion and will cling on to their favorite character even when relying on unsubstantiated garbage as support for their nigh nonexistent argument.
Tsunade managed to land a hit on Shizune who has 4.0 in speed whereas Tsunade only had a 3.5.
So pot-shotting an unsuspecting ally who was only standing at arm's length away to begin with in a hospital now qualifies as a legitimate speed feat? I guess we have low standards for what we define as speed feats when grasping for straws.
Even still, an injured pre timeskip Lee managed to avoid Kimimaro fairly easily.
Yeah, and Kimimaro was perfectly healthy, right? It's not like his body was moving on will-power alone or anything like that. It's not as if Kabuto stated Kimimaro should not possess the ability to move at all, let alone traverse an insane distance and engage in a gauntlet battle. It's not like he literally just unplugged himself from a life support system.
Furthermore, drunken Lee has the among the most unpredictable fighting styles, up there with the likes of Kimimaro and Killer Bee's seven sword style himself. Lee himself probably had no idea what his next attack would be when he was drunk.
what makes you think current Tsunade does not stomp these two in taijutsu?
Kimimaro is faster than Tsunade and just as skilled in Taijutsu (score wise). Feats wise, his Taijutsu is far more impressive. Rather than a straight-forward, linear fighting style, he has displayed unmatched finesse and unpredictability in his battles against the rookies and also showed proficiency in kenjutsu as well.
I've said it before, and I'll restate it again:
Kimimaro is essentially a better version of Tsunade, overall (combat-wise). While he lacks her physical power, he can inflict comparable damage with his bone weapons, which are sharp enough to resist samurai chakra flow - the same samurai chakra flow that matched Sasuke's Chidorigatana. He is faster, possesses comparable regeneration capabilities, and is far more durable than she is. He is not restricted to close range attacks thanks to bone bullets and bone forest. His Taijutsu style, rather than being linear, is unpredictable. He has better reach in CQC as well thanks to implementing Kenjutsu into his fighting style.
Even Madara has better taijutsu skills yet he chose to block Tsunade's attacks with susanoo.
Because putting down Susano'o when there are four other Kage standing by with lethal attacks, including acid, lava, dust release, electricity, and sand tidal waves is not a smart idea if he wants to avoid getting sealed.
