I think this thread is concluded. Pretty much all are in favor of Sakura. There's been 1 Minato fan running around disliking everything but he's yet to bring up counterpoints, Infinite has been scared off, & we'd rather not dogpile the last guy lest he actually goes missing.
Oh, so you admit inferiority to trolls?
The only difference between my manga experience and your own is our interpretation & that discussion is where you decided to veer off from because you couldn't rationally place your own above mine.
@All that is bold, you had jumped towards other arguments that would otherwise be dictated by our interpretations of Sakura's speed. If Sakura's portrayal truly placed her speed above Minato's, the argument that Sakura could launch a counteract akin to Madara's own rises & holds weight, and the fact that she hasn't punched a character 1v1 becomes irrelevant because it's still in her capability to punch Minato by portrayal. You wrote more but I still think the interpretation is the big deciding factor in all that you had written.
Keep this up & you'll never be able to join Sakurabase.
@All that isn't bold, that's just an argument that neglects my own, which had already established the fact that Kaguya could make insane movement within small fractions of time. The fact that Kaguya, despite there being more distance between her and Sakura than there was between her and Sasuke's Chidori, could not veer from Sakura's course by a FEW INCHES or even tilt her head to dodge the punch itself within those moments is clear proof that Sakura's portrayal of speed is better than Minato's. Minato isn't replicating the punch Sakura landed on Kaguya if he couldn't even land a point-blank attack on 1-Eyed Madara.

I interpret this as a concession. Concession accepted.
Only Rikudo Tier fighters with similar or better speed & attack speed(RSM Naruto, 8th Gated Gai, etc), and characters with specialized jutsu like Kisame that can allow for their disparity in speed to not hurt them so much.

Sakura entering the CQC scene would mean making light work of Momoshiki. Naruto & Sasuke pack most of their punches into their justus, but Sakura packs her punches into her punches alone. It reasons to say that she'd be too effective against Momoshiki for plot to allow.
You have a point, though throwing Sakura in would still mean nerfing Naruto & Sasuke even further as it would then be a 3 on 1. To relieve pressure, Momoshiki would be swatting down Sakura, Naruto, & Sasuke that much more often. As for your last sentence, yes.
RSM Naruto can make contact with Kaguya, so I believe Sakura has the chance to do so as well though with difficulty just as Naruto had.
Your question was regarding whether or not I thought Sakura could land a hit, and I said it's possible with difficulty. I said nothing about winning. :|
To get as close as she possibly could to Kaguya before Kaguya notices her. I've already elaborated on why the distance Sakura obtained doesn't detract from her feat, so your point here doesn't really bring any harm.
Yes, with difficulty given that Naruto's hoards of RSM clones failed & that he had to bait her that one time, though he could still touch her with that coolest-guy rage boost.
I've always claimed that Kaguya noticed Sakura the moment her exclamation mark appeared or that Kaguya was always aware(I don't anymore due to the exclamation mark having no other explanation). I believe Sakura's perceived insignificance or Kakashi's Susanoo(in the same way that IT's light couldn't pierce Sasuke's Susanoo) allowed for Sakura to go undetected. I mean, most of the guys downplaying the feat used to argue that Kaguya didn't even notice Sakura at all despite the Byakugan.
