Speed: The Ultimate Factor In Any Fight

[Booker]

I know I've stated this before about Obito, but I'd just like to focus on speed itself.

Some people don't seem to understand that if someone is exponetially faster than you, they will beat you.

You can't fight to react to. When someone is moving so fast that you can't see them, you will lose. What happens is, if someone moves fast enough, you might as well be standing still to them.

For an example: If I could move at the speed of light, I could solo the Narutoverse with nothing but a knife. Hell, I could do it with a spoon. Hell, I could do it with my bare hands.

What happens is that Authors often have to nerf speed with plot. Because, in theory, someone fast enough is unstoppable.

Show me somebody in Naruto that's starts off fights with an impenetrable skin.

Too bad plot is nerfing it...

Yeah speed is a deciding factor in most cases not always.

Indeed. Speed is quite a major factor in fights.

Size and scale and defence are all factors that beat speed. There's more to a fight in real life and fiction than speed.

A guy in a karate tournament will wear himself out and land weak punches in an attempt to be fast. It is incredibly useful but not the key factor, you have to know how to apply it in conjunction with other abilities.

Madara could beat Minato in sheer force and size of attacks.

Kidomaru beat the incredibly fast (for part 1) neji and neji could barely touch him due to the armour and spent the majority of the fight running away and fending off attacks with his speed rather than being the first to land hits on the opponent. The same goes for Lee and Kimimaro. Kimimaro was simply more skilled in general, no matter Lee's speed. 4 tails Kyuubi VS Orochimaru, Orochimaru didn't let the speed get the better of him and toyed with him.

there is no ultimate skill in fighting

brains
experience
skills
speed
toughness
strenght

it is all important and to think one outweighs the others just goes to show your lack of experience

 

[Cursed Prince]

I totally agree.

I'm a karte ka myself, and with respect, you're an amateur to say something like this, because speed alone is not important, same with power, but if you want to beat someone you need to have a balance between these two...

Exactly,there's so much more to any fight. Sonic the Hedgehog can't beat Sasuke Uchiha.

speed isnt the ultimate factor a person can always counter

I agree, speed is OP, and its why s/t users are some of the most powerful ppl in the manga.

This does not make much sense. Rock Lee was faster than Gaara; but he could not defeat him. Neji was faster than Naruto, yet he got defeated. Hidan was faster than Shikamaru, yet he got defeated. Speed is not the only decisive factor, othervise gated Lee who is top 10; atleast top 15 in terms of speed can solo anyone who is slower; like Mei but we can all say that he can't defeat Her for several reasons. Fights are not that blant; there are too many deciesive factors in a fight; intel, counters, matchups, strength, scales and powers of attacks, defenses, distance and possible other factors are involved; speed is just one of them.
