Sakura vs part1 Neji

[Draegod]

When did I compare Hebi Sasuke's speed with Sakura's? Her attack speed and foot speed is slower than either Neji or Sasuke's but I'm comparing current Yin Seal Sakura with part one Neji, not Shippuden Neji or Shippuden Sasuke. I don't think anyone thinks that Sakura's attacks are fast but they don't need to be.

Genma and Raido managed to hold their own against the sound four in their entirety so Neji barely holding his own against Kidomaru doesn't mean he can blitz current Yin seal Sakura who is portrayed to be above anyone from the sound four and Shizune, who is around Genma and Raido's level.

So now we're going off of "hype" and being "Portrayed"? An even more cool story! I get it. No need to explain any further.

So no legit counter I see.

That's probably the way to properly interpret the manga.
For instance, Hanzo wasn't displayed at full power, but was portrayed to be a tour de force and hyped to have great ninjutsu. I certainly couldn't claim anyone would beat Hanzo without first making that consideration. But, that's all within reasonable limits. No jounin level shinobi would have felt seriously threatened by Neji. Genma and Raido were completely exhausted when they fought the sound for and still pushed all four of them to CS2. Which clearly shows that the sound 4 were being portrayed under jounin level as jounin ninja needed to be handicapped to fight on par on a 2 v1 fight. So part 1 Neji fighting someone who was not jounin level is hardly impressive as a feat. And ought to be understood properly. Haku was considered really fast for a genin but in standard battles now where one tailed Naruto, and One tomoe Sasuke are easily outsped, his speed means nothing.

I beg to differ

Interesting. You bring up a scan of Sakura evading a meager assault brought on by Sasori's puppets, who have neither the fluidity in their movements and flexibility Neji has (due to him not being constructed from wood), we have seen Neji has shown capable of striking at only slightly less than subsonic speeds.

It's also noteworthy that while launching her strikes, Sakura is defenseless. If Omoi, a character with considerably less reaction feats than Neji, was able to prepare and connect an attack during this point [

], Neji should have no problem doing so. Sakura's attacks are not the most factitious from launch.

The starting distance in this fight matters, however. If the distance is closer than 25-20 meters or equal to said distance, I'm inclined to say Neji either takes this fight high difficulty or Sakura does high difficulty. As previously said, chakra enhanced strength requires precise control of chakra [

]. Sakura lacks the same lamina that Kidomaru equipped, and as such Hakke Rukujuyon Sho would essentially nullify said chakra enhanced strength, seeing as the Jyuuken style in general is based around

Neji's speed is being massively underrated here as well. Considering he crossed a distance such as

while mortally wounded, it's safe to say he should be able to close in on Sakura before she realizes.

The same way his uncle ended the life of a Kumogakure Shinobi, Neji can end the fight with a

Sakura Takes this Low-Mid Difficulty
Sakura punches the ground the shockwave sends him into the air killing him.Sakura has better speed strength stamina ninjutsu Taijutsu Genjutsu hand seals.the only thing sakura beats Neji at is sensory which is irrelevant in this fight.Neji was beaten by people way weaker than sakura how does he push sakura to high diff chakra points are useless as sakura is faster has substitution can dodge and yin seal can unblock the close points.one punch and it's over!!

 

[shelke]

Neji is pretty fast. What is your logic in regards to him blitzing her?

No, her Yin Seal cannot unblock the points. It is only Mitotic Regeneration. And I don't believe shockwaves are doing much to a fighter who survived multiple arrows and being impaled by wood.

Better Taijutsu? Better speed? My dear, please reread Neji's fights in the Chuunin Exams and versus Kidomaru. Sakura is in no form faster.

The shockwave of her punch was strong enough to knock down several Juubi fodder [

[Joseph Gomes]

Current sakura can arguably beat neji, so current sakura beats part 1 neji neg difficulty. 1 punch to ground and kid neji will die instantly. his speed is irrelevant because he needs to jump high in the air to avoid the shockwave, which he can't

Realistically, those attacks were designed for area of effect due to the fact that she was battling multiple opponents. In a realistic setting, would she utilize said attacks versus one opponent?

I don't see why wouldn't she use it if she can win the battle with it.

Why can't Neji rotate when she tries to attempt that?

Someone brought up a really good point that should be brought up again:

Genma and Raidou took on the sound four, all in their CM 2 stages.

Genma and Raidou may have lost, but they clearly slowed the sound 4 down BIG time. The scan speaks for itself. That means these 4 struggled against 2 jonins and fought for some time, even in their CM2 state.

Neji tied (he would've been dead w/o treatment) with the 2nd or 3rd strongest member of the sound 4. War arc Sakura is well beyond Genma and Raidou, I mean for crying out loud she 1 shotted 20 Juubi clones with 1 punch.

I loveeeee when people try to take tiers away from characters to make them stronger than they are, because besides Naruto and Gai (tempted to say ANBU LOL!), all the other characters in Naruto so far have lived up to their ranks.

I don't ever comment or reply to users like you (ever), But had to point this out so you learn eventually hopefully:
Naruto is about Match ups, not hype or who rank is higher. Just because your fav has more screen time or higher value to a story doesn't mean they defeat everyone just because they are them.

 

[RedRobin]

This is still being debated. Sakura blitzes him with Shannaro punch. Neji is 13, he is not withstanding it.

Guess what Neji does when he sees Sakura trying to punch near him or at him? Rotation

Oh please, it's impossible to completely(key word is completely) judge speed based off of a bunch of pictures. If you really wanted to do that, then Haku solos 90% of the NV with low difficulty rofl.

Portrayal is needed to define the character's strength. Ever notice how in DBZ when you watch fights the characters got stronger but the speed always looked the same? Even though they made it evident they were faster?

I seriously have no other words to say other than you're putting Neji above Tsunade if you're putting him above war arc Sakura, it's the blatant truth.

His part 2 counter part couldn't even beat a 33% Kisame clone along with his unit with him. It took might Gai high diff to do that.

I dont see how that will help when he is raised 100 meters in the air.

People think Rotation is the counter to everything, yet he couldn't use a simple rotation to protect Naruto? ^^
