When has Sakura exceled in hand to hand? I literally said yes she has power but i am questioning how is she better if she was below average? During the chunin exams where was this amazing h2h combat skill? Even during Shippuden? Where was this skill and technique with h2h? Stop talking about power, im talking about skill something you said she beats Azula on, which she doesnt.
What do you mean Azula and Sakura intelligence is debatable? Azula literally controlled armies and was in charge of tactics. She is genius when it comes to hatching plans. Shes not stupid to get hit by a punch with power behind it, not once has Sakura ever shown us she excels highly in h2h aside just swinging blows with chakra concentrated in her hands.
She can't out run, but she can dodge as she reacts to lightning. Also i specifically am using the ATLA Azula not comics after. I am asking which Sakura are you talking about? Because Chunin and Shippuden Sakura are trash. She doent fight using her feats properly she sucks at using them. Yes she has better feats but she lacks the mindset and mind to wield all of it properly or at all. Yes she can heal, yes but if she gets burned and killed shes not reviving. Sakura isnt one with killing intent, Azula does.
Hinata is similar to Tai Lee, what are you talking about? Tai Lee literally would do the same with her skills which are basically hitting the persons chakra points.
In Legend of Korra we have average benders dodged lighting like nothing. The show just isnt dramatic but their feats are there. Azula was able to fight with multiple people at once who are super and hyper sonic. Sakura only becomes a issue later down Shippudden and as a Mother in Boruto.
Azula shits on Chunin Sakura and most of the female cast in Naruto no questions asked. from skill, technique, intelligence, and drive
Azula mid difficulty beats Sakura in Early and Mid Shippuden.
Everything else, Azula has no feats so I am not debating that. I literally said that like two times.
I mean, Sakura's skills as a kunoichi should still far excel beyond anything that anyone in the Avatarverse has shown in martial arts. The opponents that she faced were ones that would rock Azula any day of the week.
She was clearly smart enough to hold her own against Kaguya Otsutsuki and Kido. Azula has controlled "armies" like the Dai Li, whereas Sakura has the ability to pick up an opponent's abilities from a brief scan on the battlefield. It speaks volumes when Sasuke himself deemed her analyticla skills as superior to his own Sharingan.
I said Shippuden Sakura, and yes, that Sakura is too much. Her skills and everything are way too much to deal with. In fact, by that point, Sakura can do what she's often done to her opponents: mislead Azula into thinking that Azula's overpowered her and then blindside her by a punch. Sakura's speed feats are still superior to Azula's.
Aren't we assuming killing intent and bloodlust from both sides in this?
Okay, are you trolling about Ty Lee being "the same as" Hinata? Honest question. Because context matters there. This is like saying that Zuko is "the same" as Sasuke or Azula "the same as" Itachi, because they're both fire-related anti-heroes and villains (respectively, tho Itachi ended up also more an antihero).
Hinata's hand to hand combat abilities are so far above Ty Lee's that it's laughable. With Gentle Fist and Byakugan, Hinata can see everything in Ty Lee's body in a 360 degree peripheral vision. Ty Lee just knows pressures points, and doesn't strike them nearly as fast as Hinata does.
Ty Lee knows a body's weak points and chi, whereas Hinata knows how to actively disable superhuman abilities within a bender with her hand to hand combat style.
And nooo, Azula does not "shit on" Sakura or Hinata. Either one of those girls would destroy her. Maybe Hinata even more so. Again, I can't believe that you really compared Hinata to Ty Lee. Ty Lee at best has a Gentle Fist technique.
Also, using series Azula is useless. We need comic Azula if we're going to even make this a battle. Series Azula would be a sitting duck against Shippuden Sakura unless it's Sozin's Comet. But comic Azula during Sozin's Comet against Shippuden Sakura would be a better fight.
Even during Sozin's Comet and with her kemurikage version from the comics, however, Azula is not standing a chance against Hinata. No, Hinata is not "basically the same as" Ty Lee. Hinata has superhuman speed and vision that allows her to immediately see exactly where Azula's firebending is coming from, where to hit, etc.
Ty Lee just gets a general idea of which body parts Azula would use for her firebending and how to temporarily disable them. Hinata gets a full view of Azula's entire chi system and has a ruthless 64-palm technique as well as Byakugan.
Tho Sakura is above Hinata, styles make fight, and I'd even say that Hinata is a worse matchup for Azula than Sakura is. Sakura beats Hinata 7/10, but kemurikage Azula with Sozin's Comet only 6/10. Hinata, tho, pulverizes kemurikage Azula even amped up by the comet 10/10 times if she's being as ruthless and bloodlusted as Azula.
Bloodlusted Hinata is terrifying, and with her speed and striking accuracy, would make short work of Azula. Hand to hand is something where Azula literally cannot be better than any Hyuuga, given that they have abilities of which she can only dream when it comes to speed, perception, and striking accuracy.
