What do u mean except failures he only lost to deidara and that was out of technicalities -_- he hasn't lost to anyone else unless u count naruto who really didn't fight gaara Just a pre demon
He won against sasuke (it wouldve counted as a lost if sasuke didn't Persue him)
To me kimmi would've defeated gaara if tht last move would've been made but then again if gaara becomes unconscious (at the time talking) the demon would've killed kimmi

Not counting fillers

Against deidara only lost cuz deidara used village as hostage

Briefly fought sasuke ended no contest

Fought his dad won

Beirfly fought 3rd raikage no contest naruto took over tht battle while gaara went to mizukage
He won against mizukage
Briefly fought muu

Now fighting madara


Now in terms of battling how can u put gaara and kankuro in same boat if they clearly didn't have the same amount of battles or even close gaara in terms of battle and sthregth is below naruto and around sasuke (untill sasuke gets power up to tie with naruto)
Well it's true, what you say, but we have seen the full extent of gaaras powers now, but we are yet to see kankuros. He beat sasori and deidara like nothing, and I would say gaara had better backups, also the emotions from his father was partly the reason he won, where the same can be said about kankuro vs sasori.
And again as I recall it that "village as hostage" he used that as a distraction to form some bombs of the sand and place it in it, so when gaara pulled his shield back, the bombs were inside. That trick could have gotten him in other ways as well.
To summarize I just believe other abilities needs to be accounted for as well in order to rank them. And where Gaara has matured a lot with leadership, so has kankuro. Kankuro can be more tricky, and he his also faster and close combat, where gaara needs distance and mass sand. They have same weakness, where you could say that gaaras defense is a lot better, but 1 attack from kankuro can be a lot more fatal than an attack from gaara. Also the advantage of using puppets is the fact that if the opponent knows too little about them, he wont know what abilities they have, where gaaras ability basicly is an open book.
IMO Gaaras greatest strength lies in his defensive/long range abilities. Where kankuro is more sneaky, and got better chances against opponents who are even stronger than him.

Sorry to say it, but you can't make those comparisons. Sure Gaara would win kankorou, but in the end it all comes down to the opponent. Deidara didn't win against gaara due to the fact that he had to protect eveyone, that was just a distractions while he made his real move. Also that fight happened at the place where gaara is best.
As I said Kankorou has other advantages, that can be used better in the field. Besides we haven't seen much from Gaara except failures.
I give them same rating.

deidara would have been sucking sand out of his mouth if he didnt force gaara to make a choice to save the village. They were fighting in the sky which is deidara's place and gaara was winning. Current gaara will rip deidara to shred regardless of the location,he got beat by sai and kankuro beat sasori,they have gotten a lot stronger since they fought eachother. If gaara was such a failure,then how come he is the regional commander of the entire allied shinobi?. Saying kaknuro and gaara are in the same league is foolish. Gaara has only lost twice,against naruto and deidara. He beat assasins at the age of 6,he beat dosu,he beat sasuke,he beat lee who trounced sasuke,he beat kimimaro,he beat his dad despite him using gold dust,he beat mizukage and joki boy,he beat muu alongside naruto. He made onoki change his ways,his speech strenghtened the bond between the alliance. He was made kage at 15. In the databooks,kaknuro wishes to fight anyone but gaara.

Saying gaara has shown nothing but failures shows you are an obvious troll.xd

I'd put him high jounin tier. Sand siblings in general are pretty boss.

Pfff, beats me. I doubt they meant surpassed interms of strength, they probably were referring to how skillful he is.
Yeah from what I take of that statement, Kankuro is a more skilled puppet user but he isn't beating Sasori because Kankuro lacks the amount of puppets and their quality. In some time, he will create more puppets and even better ones than Sasori to truly surpass him.

@OP: Kankuro is a high jounin level ninja. He can fight on par with part 1 Kakashi, Asuma, Temari, Yamato, Neji and possibly beat most of the people I listed.

He is not low kage level though but I think he will reach that level in several months-few years. The same can be said for Temari.

I think he is very impressive. When it comes to leadership skills, his are on par or close to Shikamaru's, Sasuke's, Temari's and Gaara's. Also in the beginning of Shippuden he lost so easily against Sasori but in just one year he has improved to such a tremendous extent that he can be more of a challenge than before.

remember, he lost so easily against sasori because he created his puppets,he knew their weaknesses inside and out,so it was easy to counter them. Kankuro modified them later in the war arc alongside sasori's old body(ironically his strongest puppet),and mother and father puppet(chiyo's strongest puppets),so he should be quite strong now.

Kankuro is one of the most underrated characters. In the end, he was even able to defeat and surpass Sasori.

Puppet users are actually extremely deadly since they rig their puppets with surprises. The element of surprise can easily give one ninja the advantage even if they lose out in pretty much all other statistics. Bushin feints are just one example of such trickery. Since Kankuro is supposed to be inheriting the mother and father puppet too.. I can feel a bright future for Gaara's brother.

He supposedly surpassed Sasori.
hell no

Current gaara will rip deidara to shred regardless of the location,he got beat by sai and kankuro beat sasori,t
do you really think sai beat deidara? all he did was knock him into kankuros puppet. deidara even was going to kill them with C0 but omoi had raiton. kankuro beat edo sasori who had no puppets. who cares? edo sasori was fodder level

In the end, he was even able to defeat and surpass Sasori.
what did he defeat? sasori had no puppets. no matter how good you are, a puppeteer isnt good without his puppets. and how did he surpass sasori? cos he said he did?

he surrpassed sasori
sasori would annhilate him with ease

Just as most people said, he is most likely high jonin level.

Well Kankuro beat Sasori and Sasori beat the Third Kazekage who was considered the strongest Kazekage and therefore he is mid- Kage. Lol jks, he is probably low Kage or high jounin
