Tsunade's speed and taijutsu skill is underrated

[Sennin of Logic]

Whenever Tsunade's compared to another ninja, someone always makes a post saying that Tsunade is slow and has bad taijutsu. And wouldn't be able to hit her opponents. Let me ask you this. Where in the manga was this shown or stated?:erm:

Here's why she can hit most enemies.

1. The fight against Kabuto is a good example. Kabuto was fast enough to escape from Kakashi. Kakashi wasn't that far away from Kabuto. If his speed wasn't comparable to Kakashi, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

Kabuto did get the upper hand on Tsunade at 1 point in the fight. However, that was after he ate a food pill which increases chakra and abilities. Despite the fact that Kabuto was enhanced and her muscles and breathing were effected, she managed to land a blow. Jiraya also said that Kabuto was at Kakashi's level. Despite the advantages he had, he was forced to use Tsunade's fear of blood.

2. This is another example. She managed to hit Madara with a direct attack.

We've seen Madara move extremely fast before. It may have been a wood clone, but clones are no less fast than the originals, and it would have been to Madara's benefit if the clone to defend against Tsunade the best it could before ambushing her.


I'm not saying that Tsunade's anywhere near the fastest ninja. I'm just saying that she's clearly fast and skilled enough to connect to ninja as fast as Kakashi, Guy, Naruto, and Sasuke. Use the poll for your opinion.

i think she has a chance of hitting Minato :snick:

 

[hixa kuogame]

Although your using ABC logic I still agree

Doubtful. If A couldn't she couldn't.

 

[Lightbringer]

her speed might be underrated but her fighting skill is overrated

 

[Prime Rib]

yup jiriya commented that no one can stand equal to tsundae in medical mix with combat powress

 

[Horus]

I Agree.
She on the whole is underrated...

 

[Itachi75]

Tsunade ftw
-
trust me she is majorly underestimated and underrated. she is very very powerful. like wolverine with the healing sign, summoning jutsu and brute strength and the speed to match.
-
however Kakashi would own her. i'm sorry but the most recent chapters are showing just how powerful Kakashi is.
-
mind you i really like Tsunade. for me it goes.
-
1. hinata.
2. Tsunade
3. Temari.
-
in terms of favorite female characters(I love well developed and poweful females )
-
but i make sure i keep my fanboyism away from facts. I deal soley in facts. and from the manga and anime Tsunade has no chance against Kakashi. sorry

Now that I think about it. She's actually one of the shittiest fighters in the manga.

I don't usually like using ABC logic. However, it's the only way to measure a person's speed.

 

[avenged sevenfold]

Her taijutsu skills as you said are greatly underestimated and she is fully capable of hitting and catching up with most opponents including kakashi. assuming she will ever fight with him

 

[slaton02]

She's Hokage for a reason and should not be underestimated. Kishi needs to show more of her ninjutsu attacks, maybe then she'll get the respect she deserves.

 

[JaffaTalk]

Tsunade is a damn nothing...trust=D

She's only capable of Talk no Jutsu and treating self&others...

possessing even no releases is likely to be deceased easily...:scorps:

This is about whether or not she can hit anyone with Kakashi's speed, not abilities in general.

She is stupid, weak, ugly.. simply SENJU.

Now that I think about it. She's actually one of the shittiest fighters in the manga.

this XD

She very clearly isn't a horrible fighter. If she was, she wouldn't be a Sanin.

 

[Lightbringer]

She very clearly isn't. If she was, she wouldn't be a sanin.

who's to say she didn't become a sannin through her medical skills, not fighting abilities?

They became the 3 sannin after surviving Hanzo.....I'm sure they survived because she healed most of the time.

Valid point. However, that didn't save the rest of the leaf ninja. She didn't have regen, so she couldn't have tanked everything. This indicates great fighting skill or enough speed for evasion.

Her speed and taijutsu is average, none of those scans discredited that. Her reflexes are basic, hence how easily Kabuto was able catch her off guard. Her taijutsu trends from her reckless attacks, she doesn't use technique like Gai or Lee or a particular style as Ay (wrestling)

While i like her character a lot and can't deny her strength, her speed and taijutsu isn't underrated. However, i feel there are many ways she can apply her strength in certain match-ups that people fail to acknowledge

I agree with you to a certain extent. However, don't forget that Kabuto was enhanced by a food pill, and Madara has sharingan. The way I think Tsunade would counter speed is by smashing the ground and prevent someone's full speed by demolishing their footing.
