Now another fallacy, used constantly, "Sakura is Slow"

Now let me start by saying Sakura is by no means on anyone above Kakashi's speed, but she isn't slow. Sakura is plagued by the rumor that she couldn't hit anybody. I feel like part of this is based on the thought process to associate strength with size and sluggishness. Now take time to comprehend that Sakura has NO REAL MUSCLE!!! She uses impeccable chakra control to create an epic release of force upon a target. That's not to say that she's weak without CES because she punches like an average ninja, but nothing slows her down when it comes to access to her strength.

Sakura is not slow. If she raced Usain Bolt, she would win.
She's a ninja and she is considered one of the new sannin which I'm pretty sure translates to legendary ninja.
No one from K11 other than team 7 and just maybe Neji or Lee is beating her. Sadly for her, Kishi always places her next to Nardo and Sauce who obviously are about 3 tiers above her. Sakura actually has decent speed feats and impressive evasion feats (especially if you include her small one on one with Menma. Now I would say that if you take away Deva, current Sakura can defeat the Peins, (Cerebrus restricted).

Now can we have better Vs threads with this realization? She isn't slow she has high chunin speed feats and when you think about what she is (a chunin) she's a darn good one.

I agree. Sakura is a great chunin. Did you guys forget that she helped beat Sasori???

You are right, Sakura is not a Kunoichi known by her speed, but she is not slow either...
Sakura couldn't even react to omoi....i know she is not slow, but she is not that fast too, she is just average
Omoi kicked her, but he was far from defeating her.
And actually It make sense that a Shinobi who is trained in Kejutsu (sword and sh*t), is faster than a Medical Ninja.

And she is not useless. I like Sakura. I don't diss her when she's trying to help. She just wants to be there for Naruto and Sasuke.

If she is not a kunoichi known for her speed then why does it matter if she is slow or not?

Shino is not known for taijutsu so I guess I should spend my time creating a thread on how Shino is not that bad in Taijutsu..

BTW which Naruto female character do you think can beat Orihime?
Konan and Mei

Lel didnt read. your argument is invalid. Thread solod. Op fodderized. Fanboys denied. Get on my level.

Good choice. Konan and Mei are really underrated compared to tsunade and sakura, who're crazy overrated by their fans

Tsunade and Tsunade 2.0? Overrated, there was one thread, one of her fans stated that she could repel sound genjutsu by just screaming. I just lost hope on their fanbase after that moment.

Yeah but you were rating Sakura on chunin standards ("high chunin speed feats"). That's a completely different thing than saying: "As a chunin, Sakura is faster/stronger than x amount of higher-level ninja." By calling her speed feats "high chunin," you place her below anyone above that level by default.

Sorry for the apparent misconception. The point was that many try to rate her by naruto and Sasuke standards and not for what she is. She's more of a tsunade clone than I'd like but she isn't a weakling. She's not meant to be god she's a chunnin and one of the best chunins ever. I was using tier talk. Ebisu I would be mid genin with anime feats.

Naruto showed great reactions there.

Sakura went for the punch like she thought she would actually hit somebody. Omoi easily said "fack that shit" and kicked her back and Naruto caught her. It's not the fact that Sakura is super slow. It's the fact that she lacks awareness and doesn't pay attention. She is too confident in her power and easily gets outclassed by faster opponents.

I recall the battle on Tensi Bridge when she was knocked back by Kabuto.

Because people ussually says she is too slow to bash her, and call her weak or useless, so It's ok to clarify this stuff.

By the way, weren't you who created a thread about how loyal is Karin to her feelings?

Bad news for you, you weren't reading the manga right:

You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images

There are a lot more...
Do you know the definition of loyalty? Look it up then...

My question is, what makes you think you are a logic authority here after making such a pathetic thread?
