Sakura VS Ino

Ah, but the anime likes to slow things down for effect. In the manga fight vs Sasori, it didn't seem like that.

When has Ino ever beaten anyone alone??

Yes but there was quite a bit of standing around, being retrospective and planning the next move.

I'm not sure how it happened in the manga, but I'm sure Sakura isn't going to stay as an idle target for Ino's Mind Transfer.

Sakura has beaten Fuen
by herself

So now I ask you again!!!!!!!! Who has Ino beaten by herself???

Just you wait, there MUST be reflection, what would Naruto be without it?

[PrinceofPeace]

Ino can not solo anyone

She might be able to win if the settings were right but not like this

[megabbaut]

Ino solo'd Sakura even though it was a draw.

As previously mentioned and proved, Ino is faster than Sakura and she's gonna have a hard time hitting her with her strength. Hitting the ground doesn't do squat.

It will be most likely that Sakura will continue until she hits something, a rock or the ground perhaps, and Ino will be hit by debris. Ino can also heal herself, but that means that she would be vunerable as well... But at the same time, if Sakura tries to heal herself she can't move very much if at all.

Ya. That's IF Ino could dodge her punches.
Sakura isn't just going to keep punching till she hits something. She will only be satisfied if she hits Ino.
Ino's medical skills aren't that great. It would take her longer to heal herself than Sakura can because Sakura's medical chakra control is better.

Sakura's precise chakra control. She would hit the ground and make the area infront of her, where Ino is, to collapse. She wouldn't stupidly make the area where she is standiing collapse as well. In the meantime when Ino is off-balance, Sakura toss kunais and shurikens at Ino if she tries to use her mind-transfer jutsu, as she is trying to protect herself, Sakura would just attack her.

That is sooooo irrelevant that it is not even funny

Sakura was featless than and she is much stronger

Ino is faster but not as fast as her mind transfer which is way slower

When has ino ever switch minds with a moving target

How can ino keep Sakura still??

And why can't Ino jump out of the way with her speed? And as stated before while Sakura is about to slam her fist into the ground Ino can use her Mind Transfer right there. Then she goes UNS2 sty;e and plants a paper bomb and switches back at the last second

On another note, it's not like Sakura can control which area collapses when she hits the same spot.

Jumping is a HORRIBLE idea. She can not move well in the air and she has to land sometime plus she will not be able to land a good hit in

Sakura does not have to get close. She can throw stuff or she can move at the last second or move in a zig-zag formation. Sakura would see Ino make her hand signs and she would know to back off

Sakura wins this especially with prep

Can you prove that? Her speed feats contradict that. Yes she has to land sometimes but i's not like Sakura can spam her attacks, otherwise she'd be wasting chakra. Ino just has to move out of the way.

Throwing stuff did nothing against her in the Chunin Exams, and she does not get prep unless specified.

[PrinceofPeace]

Ino can not spam her attack either

Same with Sakura she also just has to move out of the way.
She did not have super strenght in the chunin Exams

Riddle me this : When has Ino ever won a battle 1v1

Sakura beat Furen all by herself

If Naruto hadn't interfered, Ino would have beaten Sakura. Who knows what it'd be like in a Part II one on one

And if we're using a filler as evidence, the anime creators make up plot all the time, you can't rule out Ino fighting someone one on one either.

[PrinceofPeace]

That was THEN this is NOW. Currently Sakura would win
Sakura is TOO smart to fall for the sam hair trick twice

At least Sakura has a better chance of defeating a foe 1v1 than Ino does

[Narutorious]

Ino can't do anything against Sakura. Sakura's stronger, faster & actually fights hand-to-hand. Ino's mind transfer jutsu is too slow, Sakura won't fall for the hair trick again, it's just a mismatch. Ino is a teamwork & spy type, she isn't the battle type, that's why we never seen her battle alone, it's not her style. Sakura will win & win quickly.

There's more than one way to immobilize someone than with hair, I'm sure with more experience and much more training Ino would have come up with alternative, more practical ways.

I wouldn't necessarily say that Sakura would have a better chance, as it appears as though all of her courage in battle has greatly lessened after defeating Sasori (with major help from Chiyo, may I remind you) and attempting to kill Sasuke (attempting). Since when have we really seen her do anything impressive than when she fought Sasori?

Along with her medical training, Ino would have to better her taijutsu skills in order to abide by Tsunade's medic nin code: the rule that states that no medic nin shall die until they are the last member alive on their team. The medic nin would need to have better fighting skills in order to protect themselves, and since the mind techniques do rely on having aid some of the time, Ino would have had to learn other ways to fight if the rest of her team were to perish. When she occupied Choji's body she was more than sufficient in dodging and fighting. In Part I her taijutsu was on par with Sakura's and while she may not posses the level of brute strength Sakura has, Ino still has the ability to control chakra and could very well strike some fearsome blows herself. She has just never been in a situation that called for it.

[NaruGaar. <3]

Sakura would win. Ino basically only has her Mind Transfer Jutsu and that jutsu is just too slow. It may be effective on an immobile target, but when her target is in motion, her jutsu will most likely not hit. And when have we ever seen Ino engage in strictly one on one taijustu combat? Hardly ever.
Sakura has gained speed, power/muscle, and a better fighting ability. She's not even close to being one of my favorite characters, but I'll giver her the credit. She would win this rematch between the two.

^ Okay no you are assuming. Care to explain how she would immoblize Sakura???

How did her courage decrease from fighting Sasori?? Ino neve fought an enemy on that level and since when did she ever have confidence. There confidence is on equal level since they have a rivarly. Ino was crying her eyes out when Saskue attacked the summit. Plus Sakura is fine now she is healing everyone like a BOSS.When has Ino ever done anything impreesxive by herself???

Ino using taijutsu is to risky. She would get pounded by Sakura. When Ino mind transfered with Choji he was standing still and Choji let her do it. Ino has never been in a situation that called for it... EXACTLY. Sakura has more battle experience and is an ace dodger. We can not assume that Ino has brute sterthtgh.

Sakura wins
Ino loses
