If your being serious I disagree, Sai can easily evade that with using a ink bird or using his foot speed he has notable shunshin feats.

At seven meters Distance? I doubt it, Asuma can do that tech very fast.

Sai wins if he escapes though.

But thanks PC,

Asuma never really impressed me.

I'd say the biggest threat to Sai are those wind chakra enhanced weapons. But, once in the air he's fairly safe from... Everything.

I chose 7 meters because logical when we see a fight in the manga between 2 character's the distance isn't crazy far apart so I find it dum in VS thread to put a crazy long distance since that wouldn't happen in a actual fight, and 7 meters isn't as short as you think, the length of sasuke's chidori spear noted by deidara was about 5 meters[ ] so added a 2 or 3 more meters seems like a good distance for me but I suppose it may be short to some people.

7 meters favours Asuma here but if Sai gets to the air, he most likely takes this.

Δ°f Asuma is fast and agile enough to evade multiple Ink objectiles/monsters continously this can turn into a battle of outlasting which slightly tips on Asuma's side.

I don't have a problem with distance, but it does sort of favor Asuma. Burning Ash spans a pretty wide area:

So it's hard to see Sai escaping.

He first spreads the ash clouds and than uses substance from his teeth to ignite the ashes, meaning the jutsu execution of burning ash is not instant and requires time meaning sai can easily react with a ink bird lessening the damage.

Yeah Don't see him evading constant ink monsters on his back plus ink bomb explosives.

Can Sai make an ink bird and get into the air that fast?

I mean, that scan you showed went directly to an explosion. I don't know if he can escape that area in time.

Like I said, if he can escape, he wins.

^ Right here we see Sai pulling out his ink brush and getting read to draw his creation on the far bottom left panels



^ Very next scan in a matter of seconds the ink bird is already created as you can tell by the wing you see on the bottom, now obviously if Sai see's the burning ash it will only make him act quicker.

Hmm.. I don't think that's faster than Burning Ash, but I'll give it to you.

Asuma takes this around mid diff, I think the distance favours him way too much. He should be faster than Sai by quite a bit. Close combat is his forte he closes the small gap and keeps this fight from turning into a long distance one, he will pressure Sai quickly with that distance.

If the distance is that much of a advantage for asuma let's make it 20 meters at best. Btw hidan has a 3.5 in speed and asuma has a 4.5, yet hidan was still capable of reacting and keeping up with asuma, the same goes for when hidan fought kakashi although Db wise kakashi had the superior speed hidan still kept up with him regardless.

Yea I know but Hidan wasn't slow at all Databooks cant be trusted, Im just going by the fact that Sai is not a good close combat fighter, Asuma relies a lot on blitzing.

I wouldnt say he isnt good at close combat

Reacting to a incoming naruto[ ]

While he reacted to naruto, shikamaru attempted to catch sai with a shadow possession and anticipated it[ ][ ]

Then theres also Sai once again anticipating a incoming anbu guard with kenjutsu[ ][ ]

There are more examples I can demonstrate such as when Sai fought in the war against edo sasori and edo deidara if you want me to. I believe Sai can hold his in a cqc kenjutsu confrontation.

It seems I need to be refreshed on what Sai is capable of. But I still think Asumas CQC is on a higher level, especially since Sai bases his fighting style on long distance. Here Kisame tries to attack Kurenai but gets intercepted by Asuma

Here he is handily dodging Kisame's attacks and is pretty confident in his ability to counter much like a boxer

He manages to cut Kisame

As you can see he even gets the better of Kisame in CQC, Kisame would obviously beat Asuma but it would take his water release to do so, with Kenjutsu alone Asuma might be more skilled in that department. I can post more but I feel Asuma can close the gap and he will pressure Sai quite easily once he forces him into a Close quarters battle.
