Sasuke's Sword Skills: Good or Bad?

[cafe123]

He's a very talented swordsman, at 17 he was already one of the best even without the BS power ups in terms of sword skill.

 

[Derek1st]

Above average i guess, but not as good as most top tier swordsmen.

Killer bee absolutely DOMINATED him. That was one of my favorite moments. Killer bee was so weird i thought he was filler at first, and then he just owned face against him

Best? no. Adequate? kk

Nevermind it's just InvisibleMan

 

[ANiMUS]

He kept up with Bee until Bee pulled the same chakra current that Sasuke uses and caught him by surprise. Bee was still the better swordsman.

Itachi is Sasuke's better in terms of almost all skills. The only thing Sasuke has on him is power

Madara actually complimented Sasuke's movements

Sasuke fodderized Samurai

Orochimaru declared that he was a joke compared to Sasuke.

Sasuke also parried Mifune

 

[LuckyMan]

He is excellent and top 3 along with Bee and Mifune.

You picked up the parts he got 'owned' mind you against some of the strongest shinbois in CQC. Where is the panel he blocked Mifune again, killed 1000 ninja with pure kenjutsu, blitzed multiple samurai or held his own against Bee? With nitpicking anyone can make someone look bad, if i put the panels which Tsunade failed to heal Dan or her lower half she would look like a bad medic nin, or with the panel Gai got overpowered and punched by Kisame he would look like a lesser taijutsu user despite the 2 i mentioned are the best in their fields.

But its not valid feats when he defeats a bunch of random no name fodders just to make him look good. When hes pitted against competent shinobi in CQC he always loses.

Name 5 people in the narutoverse better at Kenjutsu than Sasuke.

No, it's just you decide to leave out things like Madara complimenting Sasuke's fluid movements/handling, and him actually keeping up with Bee for the amount of time he did despite still being canonically injured from his fight with Itachi.

One of the best.

 

[Da Best Ever]

When did he dominate a master samurai??

He looks cool using it but he only destroys fodder with his sword skills. What he displayed against blind madara was embarrassing.

Blind madara is sm madara you saying blind madara is your ****** way of making sasuke nlook bad when clearly sm sensing is blind madaras counter.

Basically impossible only Bee is better as of now.

 

[The Necromancer]

And despite Suigetsu, a known protege of the 7SoTM warning Sasuke that Bee's sword skills were in a different league before even seeing them. Yet Sasuke kept up 90% of the time.

I didn't think they had any relevance. It still does not change that he lost to both of them.

 

[KisuneUchiha]

Also as others pointed out, you are just using his worse moments to make him look bad, he fodderized samurai with the sword, but samurais specialize in using the sword.

 

[Bronze]

People need to differ skill and power. Sasuke combines his power (Sharingan) and sword together. His sword skill are average at best. If you want raw skill, look at Bee, Mifune and 7 Sword Men of the Mist.

Ok you have no intention of debating this,

Always this Sharingan bs.
Just because you jumped on Killer Bee's D now doesn't mean Sasuke's Kenjutsu sucks.
No one is saying that he is better than Killer Bee, but he definitely isn't average. He's one of the best.

 

[LuckyMan]

Also as others pointed out, you are just using his worse moments to make him look bad, he fodderized samurai with the sword, but samurais specialize in using the sword.

But they were fodders only there to make him look good. Just like all the fodders Madara beat to make him look good. Or all the fodders everyone has beaten. The fodders aren't valid feats because they have no character development in skill. All they do is charge in and get killed, they show no skill whatsoever.

Those are Sasuke's best moments with his sword. Deidara is a long range specialist. Yamato is a mid-long range specialist, and Orochimaru was virtually dead in his bed. I think thats all the people he fought, I might be missing some. Its no surprise he bested them but when he faces competent people in kenjutsu it ends bad for him.

Those samurai have trained in kenjutsu and mastered it for their whole lives fan definitions like "fodder" does not indicate their power.
The numbers were important in fodder shinobis when Asuma fought like 10 foddere he got blood on him while Sasuke did not have a single drop.
As a sworsman Mifune is more than component but Sasuke blocked him and even get praised.
Itachi was overall better than him at chapter near 400 big deal. It is almost 300 chaps over it now.
He held his own against Bee for a while when Suigetsu who is said to be a prodigy by someone like Kisame was near helpless with his sword.
Blind SM Madara casually blitzed SM Naruto and reacted any FTG attempt of Tobirama the fastest man of his time and reacted to Juubito. Also his movements get acknowledged by Madara.

Again you just see negatives. Characters go against big challenges to show both sides' worth by author. A main character should have a big challenge enough to make him look strong or else characters like Bee or Itachi would get regarded as fodders to be owned. Sasuke's kenjutsu is leaps above master swordsmen like Zabuza, Suigetsu, Darui, Omoi etc.

You should go back to wanking Madara.. Oh wait...
