I'm sorry, what? If anyone has intellect hype or any hype at all, its Sakura. Everyone has stated in Pt. 1 that Sakura is incredibly smart, has genjutsu talent and has perfect chakra control but then why the hell was she so useless?! She didn't even show any Genjutsu talent at all other than releasing a technique, if thats so great then Shikamaru must be as skilled because he released it and pretended to be asleep.

Shes smart MEDICAL wise, but not battle wise. Her analysis skills are great when its anything relating to injuries, wounds or poison and what not but other than that, she would get wiped out by Shikamaru since he's all round intelligent. I doubt Sakura would've figured out how Hidan's ability worked, would be too busy yelling cha and trying to hit him, while he dodges laughing manically in her face.
You are really underrating sakura ,While i agree with you that shikamaru is much smarter but that doesn't make sakura dumb

And part 1 sakura and part 2 sakura are the same thing

She did get brain feats in part2 aswell (fooling sasori,analyzing and reading sasori movement/figuring out how tobi kamui works)

She isn't that dumb to hit hidan over and over even after she know its useless against him .
Thats really underrating if you thank that.

I didnt say she's dumb but compared to shikamaru she is and she didnt exactly beat sasori anyhow did she? So much for her intellect. Plus she wouldnt even figure out his ability anyway.

I cant say shes overrated or underrated. She isnt even worth any ratings lol. Basic character

People tend to say he loses in an open field. Or be any fire, water or wind jutsu. Or by opponents faster than him. This is despite Shino beating an opponent who used high-pressure wind in an open area. Just like comments like him being able to one-shot with his Parasitic Bug Jutsu makes him overrated, comments like the examples I mentioned makes him underrated. I ignore gibberish like that.
Not really I never heard anybody come with such statements. On the other hand the Parasitic Bug Jutsu is mentioned every freaking time someone talks about Shino.

Underline: I see this said a lot. Where has it ever been shown that Shino is "slow as hell"? He has shown to be both mentally and physically quick on feet. He's also actually quite capable in Taijutsu. He blocked an incoming punch with one arm and later defeated that same opponent with one punch sending him back several feet, got into striking range of one opponent and managed to avoid poison-tipped darts launched at close-range.
Not really. Ofc it hasn't been stated that he's slow, but he has shown 0 impressive speed feats really. And that taijutsu stuff was back in part 1, the first part against a random genin-level shinobi. And Kankuro's strength back then was in his act of surprising his opponent like he did against that Misumi guy, not in his taijutsu or the speed of his attacks.

Bold: He actually has a better chance of getting in range and dealing a hit than any of them do, minus Lee and Kiba. Or technically his insects do. The insects make use of the enter area, boxing in the opponent. Even fast opponents like Lee and Kiba aren't guaranteed to escape, because Shino implied that if by chance they do manage to avoid the insects, they'll just keep pursuing until he target is incapacitated. How does Lee's Taijutsu effect the bugs? He can't kick or punch them. How does he tell if the Shino he punches isn't a clone of insects that will engulf him?
Ridiculous. What will pursuing insects mean against someone like Lee or Kiba?? They're too fast, so the insects can't keep up. About if the Shino is an insect clone: Too Lee it's of no difference, the guy is too damn fast and strong, even if he punches through a bunch of bugs he can still get away before they get the chance to engulf him. And even if they do engulf him I bet he could escape with his strength, especially if he goes 8 gate, then the bugs are simply useless against him. And Kiba it's of no matter since he uses Gatsūga to attack. If it turns out to be bugs he spins right through them and I wouldn't be surprised if he could take down the bugs with that attack.

How is Shikamaru's shadow going to defend him against hundreds of insects? If Choji got larger, would it just make him a bigger target? Can the shock waves of Kiba's attack rip the bugs apart or will it just blow them away unharmed where they can just regroup? Can Sai draw a monster quicker than Shinos insects can overcome him and if he did, could the bugs just eat the chakra out of ink?
I got a better question: How is a guy with 0 impressive speed feats gonna dodge Shikamaru's shadow jutsu?? He has gotten so much better with it in Shippuden that even S-Rank shinobi like Hidan has trouble not getting caught. And no Hidan isn't all that slow, he simply stated that he had the slowest attacks in the Akatsuki.

And about Chouji that's just ridiculous. Bigger = Longer arms = Longer Range. And he has the strength to 1 hit Shino, and his small bugs are completely useless against Chouji. On top of that Chouji has shown more speed feats that Shino:

And whether or not Kiba kills the bugs or blows them away is quite irrelevant really as he's still to fast for them and they surely can't attack him while he spins.

And Sai has shown able to draw incredibly fast we both know that. And he can do this:

In short, no, I don't think Shino losses to them. Possible, yes.

Sakura is actually the smartest, but Shikamaru has more hype, if he evaluate their feats Sakura would be the smArtest between the two. But he is just analytical, Sakura is that and so much more
god your BS knows no bounds shikamaru has feats of his intellect and battlesmarts show me something of sakura's battlesmart?

Shino not the type to get panels all the time. More of a mystery. Sad that he only controls bugs when he could be on some matrix stuff.
